He turned 45 and started feeling “something in his chest,” which he thought was pneumonia. The X-rays and CT scans couldn’t detect anything.

Jasmine had a meltdown on Before the 90 Days during an emotional conversation with her younger sister Liz. Jasmine didn’t want to sign the prenup, as Gino wanted her to. Gino wanted to protect his assets from Jasmine, but she took it as a sign of him not trusting her enough. “You know my trauma, my ex-husband, he was very unfair with the divorce,” Jasmine told Liz. She revealed she was “left with nothing,” as her husband took away everything when they got divorced. Jasmine was afraid she would end up on the streets if Gino did the same. She was sacrificing her life in Panama anyway to move to the U.S.

This added strain to their relationship since they met in person in the UK. Cleo was assigned male at birth, but she identifies as a transgender woman. It was hard for Cleo to relate to her female peers growing up, no matter how much she tried to fit in. “It was just so hard to look in the mirror or to simply go about my daily life,” she said. On top of that, Cleo is also autistic. She was scared that people in her life wouldn't accept her.

Statler 90 Day Fiancé

During her 90 Day Fiancé introduction, Statler revealed, “I have a little something, a little neuro-spiciness called ADHD.” She explained how it’s a neurodevelopmental disorder that either makes her hyper-focused where she is a “1000 percent all in” or “zero focus at all,” which means she’s all over the place. Statler was adopted on the day she was born. Her parents already had two boys, who she could never match up to when it came to her studies. Statler referred to her brothers as the “golden children” who always got the perfect grades, were involved in sports, and basically excelled at everything they did. Meanwhile, Statler had terrible grades and always failed.

So far, the only thing in common between Meisha and Nicola is their faith. They connected online some seven years ago after Meisha had a spiritual experience and started to understand Christianity. Nicola is a 46-year-old virgin, while Meisha was once married and has two daughters. Nicola has kept Meisha a secret from his family. While this is something that bothers Meisha, she's also having trouble being expressive with him. Meisha wants Nicola to treat her better, but he accuses her of playing the victim.

Meisha has been feeling hurt and rejected by Nicola during her time in Israel. “This is tragic to me. If this is how it goes, how could I have been so wrong? How could I have been so off base?" she cried during a confessional on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days.

David and Shiela 90 Day Fiance

Before viewers met Sheila on 90 Day Fiancé, David spoke about giving her over $3,000 in a year during their two-year relationship. The money went towards the repairs of Sheila’s house, which had first caught fire and later been destroyed in a typhoon. Sheila was embarrassed about taking David to meet her parents, as she thought he could suspect she was using him for money when he saw the place she lives in. The run-down conditions of Sheila’s house were indeed heartbreaking. The house was situated amid lanes stinking of sewage and feces. David had to sleep on the floor of the one-story structure with Sheila, her mother Remedios, and her son Jhonreil.

Her mother had hearing difficulty and couldn’t even say hi to David. Shockingly, a preview for the next episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days shows Sheila crying profusely while looking at a coffin. It suggested that it was either Sheila’s mom or dad who has died and David will be joining her at the funeral. The person passed away suddenly after he and Sheila went to sleep. It will undoubtedly be the most shocking and emotional moment in franchise history.
