Apart from being the first gay couple on 90 Day Fiancé, Kenneth Niedermeier and Armando Rubio are also the most non-controversial. The stars actually got engaged in the mid-season finale of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way while other couples quarreled and lied their way to break-ups. But are Kenny and Armando still together, and if, yes, have they shifted base to America? Here’s an off-screen update of Kenneth and Armando as they return on-screen this Sunday with TLC.
Easily, the fan-favorites of their season, Kenneth and Armando showcased a believable and drama-free storyline that most 90 Day Fiancé couples fail to showcase. Kenneth, a 57-year-old from St. Petersburg, Florida had met Armando, 31, from San Felipe, Mexico on an online support group for gay dads. But the 26-year-old age gap hardly seemed to be a concern for the TLC couple, as soon enough both their kids came to accept each other as family. Their long-distance love saw Kenneth, a father of three confess to never having married before and his children, being born via IVF. On the other hand, Armando had lost his wife in a tragic accident but had yet to come out to his Mexican family. However, when Kenneth drove all the way to Mexico to be with Armando, he came with an intention of proposing to his love. Still, the 90 Day Fiancé stars, were faced with instances of homophobia in the small town, and also the question of whether Armando’s parents would love Kenny as their own. As Kenneth and Armando explore life as an engaged couple in Mexico, here are some clues that confirm their future together.
Yes, TLC’s contracts may prevent 90 Day Fiancé couples from giving out most deets of their relationships, but some like Kenneth and Armando do drop a few hints here and there. Kenneth, who has three triplet daughters, Taylor, Madison, and Cass, has updated his Instagram bio to “Father of 4.” The fourth child here could certainly be Armando’s little girl Hannah who’s a favorite with Kenny’s daughters as well. Recently, the TLC twosome was seen celebrating Mexican Independence Day on 16 September by visiting a vineyard. Kenneth keeps sharing pictures with Armando, and also reposts stories from fans declaring love and support for their story. Armando, on the other hand, tries to refrain from putting up any pictures with Kenneth, to perhaps maintain some mystery. But if one observes, Armando’s pictures with Hannah are almost always taken at the same venues he’s spotted at with Kenny, on the latter’s IG feed.
Kenneth and Armando had appeared together in an interview with ET in June, to give a relationship update. The “Romeo and Romeo” spoke about their cultural differences and age gap working to bring them even closer, but the 90 Day Fiancé pair revealed that there were roadblocks that have led them to be at the point in they’re at right now. One of these could be Armando’s family welcoming Kenneth into their lives, as he stays away from his own loved ones in a completely different country. But so far, as Kenneth and Armando have proved that love indeed wins, it’s safe to assume their 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way journey will only see a happily ever after.
90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way airs Sundays at 8 pm EST on TLC
