The first returning couple is 29-year-old Ariela and 31-year-old Biniyam. The Other Way fans remember this couple from season 2. It’s been eight months since Ariela has given birth to their son, Avi, and they are still living together in Ethiopia. Their already rocky relationship is being tested again, as Ariela’s ex-husband of 10 years, Leandro, is coming to visit this season. However, Biniyam thinks her ex is only coming to try to woo Ariela back. However, it seems the more significant concern is that their daughter Avi has to undergo immediate medical care in the US, so Ariela leaves alone with Avi to the US. 

Armando and Kenneth

After navigating family issues, cultural differences, and the struggles of moving to a new country. The only thing left for this couple is to get married.

Armando and Kenneth are excited about the future, especially the idea of bringing another child into their family, via adoption or surrogacy, to give Armando’s daughter, Hannah, a younger sibling.
