8 Most Surprising 90 Day Fiancé Franchise Friendships (These Unlikely Cast Members Have Strong Ties)

90 Day Fiancé might be all about romantic relationships, but the show has also helped cast members meet their best buddies within the franchise. 90 Day Fiancé started with American men finding love abroad and getting their international partners to the U.S. to marry them within three months. As more couples were introduced to the mix, the list of cast members kept increasing. The cast could interact with each other in the controversial “Tell All” episodes. These interactions between 90 Day Fiancé stars have led to the formation of several enemies but also several strong friendships for life.

Then there is social media where 90 Day Fiancé cast members have always interacted with each other. While there’s always the race to know which star gains the most followers by the end of their season owing to their popularity or infamy, it’s also the DMS where cast members discuss season secrets known only to them. These lifelong bonds formed within 90 Day Fiancé often come across as surprising to viewers especially when these cast members are known for making foes out of most others.

8 Rob Warne, Jamal Menzies, & Josh Weinstein

They're The 90 Day Bad Boys

When Josh and Rob were first spotted together in a video with Jamal in April 2024, most fans were left scratching their heads in confusion. The three had no business being together, let alone starting a group called the “90 Day Bad Boys” and creating lip-syncing videos to popular yesteryear hits and collaborating with other cast members such as Jovi Dufren or Biniyam Shibre. Josh and Jamal had crossed paths during the 90 Day: The Single Life Tell All, but they didn’t show any signs of being friends during the reunion.

Moreover, when 90 Day: The Last Resort season 2 premiered, Rob’s wife Sophie Sierra revealed that she had been receiving flirtatious DMs from Josh and Rob was aware of it. Their eventually becoming best buddies and vacationing in foreign countries together, along with Jamal, has become one of the biggest mysteries of the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. The three are literally joined at the hip at this point, and fans have been requesting a spin-off featuring them.

7 Angela Deem & Yara Zaya

From Enemies To Besties For Life

It appears 90 Day: The Last Resort has done more to form friendships between the most unlikely cast members than repair broken marriages. The show wasn’t able to stop Michael Ilesanmi from dumping Angela, but it did help Angela strike a close bond with Yara, who she was seen shouting at during an older Tell All. Yara was one of the few cast members who’d stood up to Angela and asked her to tone down her behavior during the Happily Ever After? season 6 Tell All.

Yara was also upset with Angela at the Tell All because the latter got drunk with Jovi and created a ruckus outside their resort room while Yara slept. However, they slowly became friends with Yara supporting Angela through her marital issues with Michael. Yara also didn’t hesitate to question Michael publicly in an interview with AccessHollywood after he staged a disappearance from Angela’s house. Yara said, “Shocking right… from an old woman run away a young man” with Jovi, asking, "What have you guys been doing these whole seven years for?"

6 Jovi Dufren & Ruben The Cuban

Meet The Mysterious Miami Mates

Jovi moved to Miami a year ago after many requests from Yara. Yara always yearned for the big city life and didn’t ever think of spending the rest of her life in Louisiana. Her wish came true when Jovi settled down with her and their daughter Mylah in Florida. While exploring his new home city, Jovi decided to find some new friends from the show who could show him around and introduce him to Miami’s culture and food. One of them turned out to be Ruben Sanchez AKA Ruben the Cuban from 90 Day: The Single Life.

While Jovi and Ruben had never starred in any spin-offs together, they could have connected when Jovi moved to the new city. Debbie Aguero’s ex took Jovi to Miami’s iconic Versailles restaurant. The two had a Cuban culinary adventure, trying out various dishes such as the empanada platter and the vaca frita.

5 Caleb Greenwood, David Toborowsky & Annie Suwan

The Arizona Connection

David and Annie debuted in the franchise almost a decade ago with 90 Day Fiancé season 5. They have been called one of the show’s most successful couples for never having shown any signs of a split or having any public splits hinting at divorce. David and Annie are a friendly twosome and have met and interacted with several other cast members off-camera so far, including Syngin Colchester, Jamal, Ariela Weinberg, and Jenny Slatten. However, one of their most surprising cast member friends was Caleb Greenwood.

Caleb from 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 5 was last seen romancing Alina Kozhevnikova, who was fired from the show due to her past racist social media posts. Caleb remained a part of the show, as confirmed through his 90 Day Diaries appearance, but has since remained distant from reality TV. Caleb partying with Annie and David for New Year’s Eve 2022 was surprising to viewers. Still, this trio did make somewhat sense since David, Annie, and the newcomer all belonged to the state of Arizona.

4 Kobe Blaise & Michael Ilesanmi

Did Kobe Help Michael Escape?

Kobe became the hero of the 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8 Tell All for rushing to Michael’s defense when no one was supporting the helpless man. Kobe shamed Angela for always disrespecting Michael in public. Kobe announced that he wasn’t going to sit there and act as if it was not something that had been going on and on. Kobe wasn’t afraid of putting Angela on a blast for his treatment of Michael. He’d had enough of Angela’s abusive behavior.

"To the level that even a fly cannot respect him."

The cast members also got into a heated altercation over Michael in the part five of the Tell All after everyone wrapped things up and started to head home. Angela was furious about Kobe seemingly planting the seed of leaving Angela in Michael’s mind. He educated Michael that while Angela kept referring to his visa as “her visa” it was still Michael’s personal document, and he was legally in the U.S. All Angela could do was try to shut Kobe up, but that didn’t help, since Kobe was looking out for his brother Michael and his safety came first.

3 Angela Deem & Scott Wern

The Villains Who Became Rumored Lovers

Following Michael’s disappearance, Scott shared several photos and videos of him hanging out with Angela on Instagram. In a video, Angela referred to Scott as her “bodyguard,” and they shared an embrace. They danced to “I've Had) The Time of My Life” and Scott even included a picture of Angela’s daughter, Skyla. Scott repeatedly referred to Angela as “the OG,” and was visibly and audibly very excited about meeting her. When fans asked Scott if Angela was his new franchise romantic interest after Pedro Jimeno’s mother Lidia Morel, he said Angela was like his sister.

Scott also supported Angela by mocking Michael through his future videos. He took a jab at Michael amid rumors Michael had used his GoFundMe money to buy an expensive car. However, in February 2025, 90 Day Fiancé blogger Shabooty posted that Scott had allegedly gifted Angela $2000 amid her facing financial difficulties but later cut her off completely, seemingly bringing their year-long friendship to an end.

2 Nikki Exotika & Jasmine Pineda

Did Nikki & Jasmine Date?

Nikki and Jasmine's interaction during the 90 Day Fiancé season 10 Tell All was memorable. Jasmine admitted she had a crush on her fellow cast member and openly expressed her feelings while revealing she was interested in dating both men and women. Jasmine came out as bisexual during the reunion while also mentioning she’s had girlfriends in the past. Nikki and Jasmine were exchanging flirty comments on social media, which sparked rumors of a budding romance since Gino and Jasmine had been having marriage problems.

Some of the pictures made it look like Jasmine and Nikki were very close to each other as they shared a kiss in one, and Nikki lay on Jasmine’s lap in the other. Nikki knew about Jasmine’s pregnancy even before she announced it to the world in February 2025. Nikki had specially flown from New York to Florida, where Jasmine now lives, to meet Jasmine and her boyfriend, Matt Branis.

1 Darcey Silva & Florian Sukaj

How Is Florian So Close To His Wife's Twin?

Darcey and her twin, Stacey Silva, are known for doing everything together. They married at the same time and also divorced at the same time while having children in sync too. However, while Darcey went through relationship after relationship on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, Stacey had been with her Albanian boyfriend Florian for five years. What Stacey probably never realized then was how close her sister was also to her to-be-husband.

It was after Stacey attended couples therapy at the 90 Day: The Last Resort that she realized Florian and Darcey’s friendship was creating complications in their marriage. Darcey reportedly even told Florian that he should be single and leave Stacey. When asked who her hall pass would be, Darcey said Florian’s name but added that Stacey could have him. Still, the 90 Day Fiancé twins seem to have resolved this Florian-shaped problem in their lives as they are currently making new music together.

90 Day Fiancé airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EST on TLC.
