The Family Chantel season 2 started on Monday and fans are wondering what Pedro Jimeno’s sister Nicole has been up to since the first season. Nicole has found love, but she’s going to face struggles in her new relationship during the upcoming episodes. 

The Family Chantel follows the lives of Chantel Everett and Pedro Jimeno. The couple was originally introduced to the world during 90 Day Fiancé season 4. When Chantel introduced Pedro to her family, she lied about him coming to America on a student visa. As fans of TLC know, the couple was actually intending to get married within 90 days. Naturally, when Chantel’s family found out about the false pretenses, 90 Day Fiancé drama followed, which made them one of the most exciting couples on the show. Since their time on 90 Day Fiancé, the married couple has endured numerous ups and downs in their relationship, mainly surrounding their families and trust issues. Fans have wanted to know more about their relationship, which is why The Family Chantel was created. The show follows Pedro and Chantel as they attempt to build a life together. Nicole has played a significant role in Pedro’s marriage with Chantel. She is often involved in heated arguments with her sister-in-law and other in-laws. This is one tense facet of Chantel and Pedro’s marriage. Since the first season, Nicole has entered a long-distance relationship. Their romance is featured in The Family Chantel season 2

Nicole started dating a man named Alejandro, who is a 27-year-old of Dominican descent. In an excerpt from The Family Chantel, Nicole tells her friend Coraima that she’s “super in love” with Alejandro. The couple is currently in a long-distance relationship because he lives in New York and she lives in Atlanta. “Alejandro is a very attentive man. Alejandro gifts me shoes, a watch, a cell phone. I love it because it’s another way that he shows me his love,” Nicole beamed about her new romance. “We’ve been together for a few months and I nicknamed him ‘my chichi.'” Nicole also mentioned that she visited Alejandro in New York a few times and is planning on moving in with him soon.

During interviews and confessionals, Nicole is obviously smitten with Alejandro. However, the official trailer for The Family Chantel season 2 previewed the tension between Alejandro and Pedro. They meet and things don't go exactly as planned. At one point, Pedro says, “This guy blows my mind,” following an intense interaction at a bar. Despite the fact that Pedro and Nicole are so close, their sibling relationship will be tested during the second season. 

Things can get tricky when you’re introducing a new girlfriend or boyfriend to your family. For cast members of The Family Chantel, tricky is an understatement. It’s wonderful that Nicole has found love since the first season, but the next step in her relationship will come with a lot of drama, particularly with her brother, Pedro.
