The tumultuous journey of Emily Bieberly and Kobe Blaise has been one of the most talked-about storylines in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, chronicling their transition from a whirlwind romance in China to a complicated family life in America. As of late 2024 and early 2025, the couple has dropped a series of major, life-altering updates that prove their story is far from over, including a dramatic expansion of their family and a shocking proposal that could uproot their lives entirely.
The couple, who first appeared on Season 9 of 90 Day Fiancé, has consistently faced criticism for their financial struggles, reliance on Emily’s parents, and explosive arguments. However, their recent announcements highlight a deeper commitment to building their life together, even as they navigate massive decisions about their future, their careers, and the possibility of leaving Salina, Kansas, for Kobe's home country of Cameroon.
Emily Bieberly and Kobe Blaise: Complete Biography and Profile
Emily Bieberly and Kobe Blaise's love story began in a nightclub in China, where Emily was teaching English and Kobe was working as an underwear model. Their connection was instant, leading to a quick engagement and Emily's unexpected first pregnancy. The K-1 visa process, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, kept them apart for two years, delaying Kobe's arrival in the United States and the chance to meet his first son, Koban.

The Growing Blaise Family: Koban, Scarlett, Atem, and Baby No. 4
The couple's family has expanded rapidly since Kobe's arrival in the U.S. Their journey on the show documented the birth of their first son, Koban. The couple later revealed they had welcomed a second child, a daughter named Scarlett, which was kept a secret from the show's producers and viewers for a time.
In a major update for 2024, Emily and Kobe welcomed their third child, a son named Atem, in March 2024. This brought their total to three children in a very short period, all while still living under Emily's parents' roof, a point of constant tension and fan criticism.
The Shocking Announcement: Baby Number Four (2025)
Perhaps the biggest and most recent news is that Emily and Kobe are expecting their fourth child. The couple shared the news exclusively in late 2024, confirming their desire to have a large family, despite their ongoing financial and living situation challenges. Emily noted that they always wanted "four or five" kids, and they are now well on their way to achieving that goal.
The rapid expansion of their family—now four children under the age of six—has surprised many fans, especially given the couple's initial struggles with financial independence. Kobe's move from an unemployed fiancé to a full-time Quality Control Inspector for an asphalt company was a major step, but the cost of raising a large family in the U.S. remains a central theme of their story.
Kobe’s New Career and the Financial Independence Struggle
A significant portion of Emily and Kobe's on-screen drama revolved around Kobe's inability to immediately secure a job upon his arrival on the K-1 visa and Emily's parents' expectations. Kobe, an educated man and former model, was determined to provide for his family, a core value rooted in his traditional Cameroonian upbringing.
Kobe’s Current Job: Quality Control Inspector
After much effort and a period of unemployment, Kobe successfully found a stable job as a Quality Control Inspector for a local asphalt company in Kansas. This role involves testing asphalt to ensure it meets quality standards. While this provided the couple with a steady income and a path toward financial independence, it was quickly followed by the news of their third and now fourth child, putting immense pressure on their budget.
Despite Kobe's career success, the family is still reportedly living with Emily's parents in their Kansas home, even three years into their marriage. This living arrangement is a source of ongoing tension, as Emily's parents have been vocal about their desire for the couple to stand on their own two feet, especially with the continuous growth of their family.
The Shocking Proposal to Move to Cameroon
In one of the most dramatic and unexpected updates of their recent appearances, Kobe Blaise dropped a bombshell on Emily: he wants the entire family to move to Cameroon.
This proposal stems from Kobe’s deep connection to his home country and his desire for his children to be raised immersed in his culture and surrounded by his family. The discussion, highlighted in mid-2024, revealed a major rift in their future plans.
- Kobe's Motivation: He believes life would be simpler and more supportive in Cameroon, where his family could help raise the children, and he could reconnect with his roots. He has also expressed a desire for his children to learn his native language and culture.
- Emily's Reaction: The idea understandably shocked Emily. Moving to West Africa would mean leaving her parents' support, her entire family structure, and Kobe would have to quit his established job as a Quality Control Inspector. Furthermore, the financial and logistical challenges of moving four young children across continents are immense.
This major decision—staying in the U.S. for financial stability or moving to Cameroon for cultural connection—is the central conflict defining their current storyline. The couple is now faced with the monumental task of balancing their individual desires with the best interests of their rapidly expanding family.
Recent Personal Tragedies and Fan Criticism
Beyond the excitement of a new baby, the couple has also dealt with personal tragedy. Kobe shared heartbreaking news with fans about the passing of his father. This emotional event further reinforced Kobe’s connection to his family in Cameroon and may have been a contributing factor to his desire to move closer to his remaining relatives.
Addressing the Criticism
Despite their popularity, Emily and Kobe have been frequent targets of fan criticism. Emily, in particular, has been called "lazy" and "controlling" by some viewers for her reliance on her parents and her strong opinions in arguments. Kobe has also faced backlash for some of his comments and his early unemployment.
However, the couple continues to use their platform to share their authentic life, including the challenges of raising a large, interracial family and the complexities of blending two vastly different cultures. The latest updates confirm one thing: Emily and Kobe are committed to each other, navigating their future one major life event at a time, whether that is welcoming baby number four or planning a potential move to Douala, Cameroon.
