Kenny and Armando Join Cast of ’90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way’ Season 8
A fan-favorite couple is returning to the 90 Day Fiancé universe.
Kenny and Armando are back on TLC in season 8 of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, premiering Sunday, October 4. Joining the duo are six other couples who will share their journeys, as the American partners leave behind everything they know to build a life abroad with the person they love.
“In a perfect world, I would have found my man in the Bronx,” new cast member Jessy says in the teaser, as she struggles to find her boyfriend Vittorio’s home of Florence, Italy, on a map. “But unfortunately, he’s on another continent.”
“Living in France isn’t just baguettes and berets,” says Zuri, who has moved to Paris to be with her boyfriend Ben. “And Ben’s friends, they treat me like some dumb American.”
As the couples begin their new adventures together, they’ll realize that starting over is far from simple. New cultures, complicated family dynamics, unexpected challenges, and shocking revelations will test their relationships, forcing the Americans to consider whether the life they crossed the world for is worth the sacrifice.
Let’s meet the cast of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way Season 8.
Kenny and Armando
Kenny and Armando are one of the most beloved couples in the 90 Day franchise. In this season of The Other Way, they face some of their biggest challenges yet. A “dire” medical emergency for Hannah shakes the family, Kenny explains in the trailer, while delays with Armando’s visa threaten their plans. With their future suddenly uncertain, Kenny and Armando face the possibility of an impossible choice that could leave the people they love on opposite sides of the border.
Niles and Matilda
Niles and Matilda made their TLC debut in season 7 of Before the 90 Days. Now, TLC is checking in with them two years after their wedding. Although they are married, they continue to live on opposite sides of the world. Initially, Niles promised Matilda he would bring her to America from Ghana within five months. But ongoing visa issues have stalled those plans. Now, Niles is returning to her home country, hoping to make amends with her family and get their marriage back on track. She thinks he’s coming for their anniversary, but he’s keeping a life-changing secret: this isn’t just a visit. Niles plans to leave America behind and move to Ghana for good.
Jonathan and Ally
Self-proclaimed “nerd” Jonathan is a divorced father from Connecticut who still lives with his ex-wife. But he’s preparing for a major change as he gets ready to leave everything behind to join his girlfriend Ally in Singapore. And there’s one more twist – Ally is pregnant. While she’s excited to begin their life together, the couple faces mounting pressure. Jonathan has little money saved and no job lined up. Plus, Ally’s devout Muslim parents don’t even know she’s pregnant. With the baby on the way, the couple is running out of time to build a life together and tell her family the truth.
Zuri and Ben
Zuri, who is from Connecticut, met her French boyfriend, Ben, while studying abroad in the U.K. But after she moved to France to build a life with him, their dream of a future together quickly fell apart. Zuri struggled to find her place, while Ben questioned whether she could ever truly adapt to life in his country. Now, Zuri is giving France one last chance. But between Ben’s skeptical friends and growing questions about another woman, Zuri must decide whether their future together is worth the risk.
Jessy and Vittorio
Jessy is a vibrant pageant queen from the Bronx with a history of choosing the wrong guys. But she’s hopeful Vittorio is her Prince Charming, so she’s moving to Italy to build a future with the charming fashion industry insider. But once she arrives, Jessy begins to wonder whether the glamorous life and man she fell for are really what they seem. After a year together, the couple has yet to have sex. Plus, Vittorio’s family has doubts about their relationship, and both are keeping secrets that could turn their future upside down. As the truth begins to unravel, Jessy must decide whether her fairytale romance is worth fighting for.
Michelle and Felix
Michelle, a single mom and self-described hustler from Dallas who flips cars for a living, met Felix, a preacher’s son from Ghana, while traveling through West Africa. Although Michelle believes Felix is the love of her life, troubling questions continue to cast a shadow over their relationship. As concerns grow about whether she can fully trust Felix and his family’s intentions, Michelle leaves Texas behind and moves to Africa determined to prove their love is worth the risk.
Andi and Nigel
Andi is putting her successful music career in Nashville on hold to start a new life with Nigel in Australia. While she thrives on ambition, structure, and planning, Nigel embraces a laid-back, nomadic lifestyle with few long-term commitments. Their contrasting approaches to life aren’t the only source of tension. The couple’s ethical non-monogamous relationship looks very different through each of their eyes, and disagreements over children and fertility may push them to a breaking point.
90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way Season 8 premieres Sunday, October 4 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on TLC.
