90 Day Fiance season 9 is currently in production, but fans do not have to wait to binge their favorite episodes on Discovery+. The main series and the multiple spin-offs over the last eight years have taken the world by storm, and the couples that come with it are either very well received or hated for the toxicity they bring with the never-ending drama.
Still, the few gems that come out of the series are welcomed with open arms. Fans root for their favorite couples week after week, hoping to see them again in one of the spin-offs. Even those that viewers do not get to see again, fans are active on the couples' social media accounts, cheering them on as they go through life and all of their endeavors.
David and Annie
At first, their relationship seemed creepy as David is 24 years older than Annie. After meeting in a bar in Thailand, they started to date. The couple had their ups and downs centered around alleged cheating and alcohol addiction but ultimately married. Eventually, the people around them accepted their relationship despite financial setbacks, and they are now considered one of the most beloved couples in the series.
"I always loved David and Annie," said u/Veronica-Vicki, in the comment section of a post titled Worst/Best Couples? and their success story has inspired many fans. They are still together and have been in multiple spin-offs of the original series as their popularity keeps them coming back.
Danny and Amy
Meeting in Australia on a Bible Study trip, David and Amy moved from dating to engagement at lightning speed. The only thing standing in their way was David's father, who was apprehensive when he found out that Amy wasn't white. The couple married anyway and are still together with two children in Texas.
u/ChesleasRC states "I'm now watching season two and amongst most of the other couples that are dumpster fires, I absolutely love Danny and Amy. I loved them from the get-go, but the episode of her dress shopping with her mom - ughhh.. It's all so sweet and genuine." The couple is private, and though they have social media accounts they hardly ever post. When they do, they are fawning over one another, giving fans the sweetness they deserve, a vast difference from many couples who have divorced within a year.
Avery and Omar
Avery and Omar had never met in person when she visited him in Lebanon because the war in Syria prevented them from meeting there. Many fans were skeptical of this relationship as Avery admitted that her past life was full of partying and sex while Omar was the exact opposite. Now, they are considered the most mature couple in the franchise.
"She respects Omar as a husband and fellow Muslim," according to u/WarmSoul123 and they are right. Almost immediately after they met, the couple married in a traditional Muslim ceremony, much to the dismay of Avery's mother, who also didn't think they would last and Avery would revert to her old ways. They are still together, but the war and the COVID-19 pandemic have kept them apart for most of their marriage.
Chelsea and Yamir
Yamir was part of a boy band named Myla Vox in Nicaragua. Chelsea met him at one of his concerts when she was volunteering with the Peace Corps. They got together, but not without suspicion from Yamir's talent agent, who thought that breaking up the band was a bad idea. Eventually, they moved to the US and all of Chelsea's family supported the relationship. Yamir started to send in demo tapes to producers in Chicago and wanted to move there, and Chelsea did not want to leave her family. The tension was palpable, and Yamir had trouble adjusting to small-town life.
Unfortunately, they did not last and divorced in 2016. It was later revealed that Chelsea is lesbian. Despite this, u/teak101 says "I especially enjoy and empathize with Chelsea & Yamir. I think they have a real relationship and are supportive of each other." They ended their marriage amicably and have continued to be supportive of each other in their endeavors.
Anna & Mursel
Who knew that beekeeping could lead to an international romance? That is exactly what happened with Anna and Mursel. After they met, he proposed on social media. Tensions rose when Mursel did not inform his family that she has three kids, and they didn't approve of having children out of wedlock. They also had trouble communicating due to a language barrier. Despite the obvious setbacks, Annie and Mursel's relationship has grown tremendously.
Despite not being on any spinoffs, the couple is still active on social media, where they said that TLC did not want to cover their story. "They seem to have made a go of things so I’m happy for them. They’re one of the few normal couples who actually work, a shocking concept to all the other cast members who just want to grift through life," u/DarceysEnlessCigAs. As TLC is known for their dramatic shows, having a couple that isn't involved in it is bad for their ratings, thus the decision is not shocking.
Alan and Kirlyam
Many fans had issues with this relationship and were very vocal about it. The couple met when Kirlyam was 12 years old and Alan was 20 on a Morman mission trip but did not see each other for years after. It was then they connected and started a relationship. Ever since then they have been going strong and have become one of the most popular couples in the franchise. One thing fans may not know is Alan and Kirlyam made the decision to leave the series for good.
"I liked him and Kirlyam and they seemed to be a genuinely good couple, unlike most 90-day couples," u/Silverdollarzzz says, though others disagree, pointing out that how they met still doesn't sit right. Many others came to Alan's defense, though, arguing that they didn't start a relationship until many years later. Either way, this couple is going strong and has two sons together.
Loren and Alexi
Most would consider this couple boring, and they do not bring unnecessary drama. Unfortunately, this tunes out some fans as they enjoy watching the train wrecks of couples. Loren and Alexi met in Isreal while Loren was on a Birthright trip and he was a medic. Loren admitted that she initially intended for this fling to be a hookup and nothing more, but they fell in love.
u/testingbicycle says they are "two of the most wholesome people on the show," and their social media proves this to be true as the couple is always posting about their expanding family. They currently have two children with one on the way. One of the things fans may not know is Loren and Alexi have recently won the Best Reality Romance award at the MTV Movie and TV Awards.
Kenny and Armando
The first male same-sex couple in the 90 Day Fiance franchise, Kenny and Armando set the bar for high for everyone else. Each with a past and four children between them, they connected through a single-parent support group. There is a 25-year age gap between the two, but that doesn't deter the love that fans can feel through the TV screen. When Armando came out to his conservative family and introduced Kenny to them, it was intense and led to the couple leaving and continuing in their lives.
They are one of the best couples in the show's history according to u/BreakingGaga, who stated, " Puddle of tears. Best couple in the show’s history (so far), but also exactly what this show needed IMO. Really hoping for their continued success." All 44 comments beneath this post agree with this statement. It was even more special because Armando's family finally came around to them being together.
