The 90 Day Fiancé couple made their franchise debut in 2019

Rebecca and Zied were first featured on season 3 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. The couple met online, just after Rebecca had split from her third husband — a Moroccan man she sponsored through a spousal visa. 

The 49-year-old, who was working as a private investigator, met Zied, 27, online via Facebook. She eventually traveled to his home country of Tunisia to meet him. At the time, she did not tell him she was still legally married. 

The couple spent three weeks together in Tunis. But during the visit, Zied’s family expressed their issues with Rebecca’s marriage history and the numerous tattoos she has. 

Rebecca eventually told Zied that she was still married and in the process of getting a divorce. He was upset at first. But by the end of her trip, Zied got over it and proposed to Rebecca. 

Zied is finally coming to America to marry Rebecca

When Rebecca returned to the United States and finalized her divorce, she applied for Zied’s K-1 fiancé visa. And as seen on a sneak peek of the new season of 90 Day Fiancé, Zied will join Rebecca in the States. And the two will have a 90-day window in which they must get married. 

In the premiere episode, Rebecca revealed that she is now working as the manager of a fried chicken restaurant. She spent thousands of dollars on Zied’s immigration fees. So when he finally arrives in the U.S., the couple will have to move in with Rebecca’s daughter to save money. 

’90 Day Fiancé’ fans are excited to see the couple return

Rebecca and Zied’s return was met with excitement by some 90 Day Fiancé fans. Many suggested Rebecca had a major glow-up this season. And others praised her for her work ethic. 

“Honestly I kind of like Rebecca’s hustle,” one Reddit user wrote. “She seems to have a diverse skill set (motorcycle repair, private investigation, and managing restaurants). So many other cast members basically don’t do anything other than cash TLC Checks.”

Some fans also noticed how different Zied looks with his new haircut. And a few suggested he might have grown a little more “charming.”

“I remember when Rebecca first claimed Zied was so charming and I thought she was out of her mind,” a Redditor shared. “And yet here I am, charmed so [much]  by his sheer Ziedness.”

“I am rooting for her & Zied,”   another Redditor suggested. “I think both of them are good peeps.” 

Fans will get to see how their love story pans out as season 8 of 90 Day Fiancé continues. New episodes air Sunday nights on TLC.
