The journey of love and the K-1 visa process is never simple, and for the cast of 90 Day Fiancé Season 9, the drama has only intensified since the cameras stopped rolling. As of late December 2025, the six couples who navigated cultural clashes, family disapproval, and the 90-day countdown have seen everything from major family expansions to devastating, final splits. This comprehensive, up-to-the-minute report dives into the current lives of the couples, revealing who found their happily ever after and who is starting fresh.
The 2022 season was one of the most polarizing in the franchise’s history, introducing us to couples whose chemistry was often overshadowed by conflict, control, and miscommunication. Today, two years later, the biggest news centers on growing families, with one fan-favorite couple expecting their fourth child and another finally celebrating the birth of their first after a long wait. However, for others, the dream has officially ended in a very public and messy way.
The Complete 90 Day Fiancé Season 9 Cast Biography & Current Status (Late 2025)
Here is a detailed breakdown of the original Season 9 couples, their backgrounds, and the most current, late-2025 updates on their relationship status and personal lives.
Bilal Hazziez (47, Real Estate Investor, USA) & Shaeeda Swaid (38, Yoga Instructor, Trinidad and Tobago)
- Original Story: Bilal, a divorced father of two from Kansas City, met Shaeeda, a yoga instructor from Trinidad, online. Their storyline was defined by Bilal’s trust issues, which led to a notorious 'prank' involving a rundown house, and their continuous arguments over a prenuptial agreement and Shaeeda’s desire to have a baby immediately.
- Current Status: STILL MARRIED & NEW PARENTS.
- Latest Update: After years of public pressure and emotional arguments about starting a family, Bilal and Shaeeda finally welcomed their first child together, a baby boy, in a joyous announcement in late 2025. The couple, who have continued to appear in spin-offs like 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, appear to be thriving in their new roles as parents. Shaeeda has successfully launched her yoga business in the US, and the couple’s social media posts are now dominated by family life and their new son.
Emily Bieberly (34, Former English Teacher, USA) & Kobe Blaise (36, Quality Control Inspector, Cameroon)
- Original Story: Emily met Kobe while teaching in China. She became pregnant shortly after, and the COVID-19 pandemic kept them apart for two years before Kobe arrived in Emily’s hometown of Salina, Kansas, to meet their young son, Koban, for the first time. Their journey included tension over living with Emily’s parents and the secret of Emily’s second pregnancy.
- Current Status: STILL MARRIED & EXPECTING BABY #4.
- Latest Update: In a stunning announcement that shocked the franchise fanbase, Emily and Kobe revealed in November 2025 that they are expecting their fourth child. The couple, who already share two sons, Koban and Roman, and a daughter, Scarlett, have become one of the most prolific families in the 90 Day universe. Their life in Kansas is focused on raising their growing family and managing the chaos of multiple young children, a stark contrast to their initial struggles with independence and financial stability.
Jibri Bell (31, Musician, USA) & Miona Bell (26, Social Media Influencer, Serbia)
- Original Story: Jibri, a musician from South Dakota, met Miona while on tour in Serbia. Their story revolved around Miona’s desire for a glamorous, Los Angeles lifestyle, clashing with Jibri’s more grounded family in South Dakota. They famously eloped in a private ceremony before their K-1 wedding deadline.
- Current Status: LIKELY DIVORCED/SEPARATED.
- Latest Update: The rock star romance appears to have hit a major snag. While Jibri has been focused on his music and solo travels, Miona has been making waves on social media, sparking intense speculation of a split. Reports and fan discussions in late 2025 suggest that Miona is no longer with Jibri and has been seen with a new boyfriend, indicating the couple has quietly separated or divorced. This alleged split marks the end of their seemingly perfect, coordinated social media presence and confirms fan suspicions that their relationship was more for the camera than for life.
The Shocking Confessions and Custody Battles: Who Broke Up?
While some couples are busy buying bigger houses and car seats, two of the Season 9 couples faced the most dramatic, public, and legally complex breakups in the franchise’s history. The fallout for these pairs was swift and brutal, involving cheating allegations, arrests, and public feuds.
Yve Arellano (51, Acupuncturist, USA) & Mohamed Abdelhamed (28, Student, Egypt)
- Original Story: Yve, a single mother from New Mexico, met Mohamed online. Their age gap and cultural differences, particularly Mohamed’s strict religious expectations for Yve regarding dress and privacy, were major sources of conflict. The relationship ended in a firestorm of controversy.
- Current Status: DIVORCED & MOVED ON.
- Latest Update: The relationship imploded shortly after the season aired when Yve discovered text messages proving Mohamed was cheating on her and allegedly only using her for his Green Card. Yve filed for divorce in September 2022. The drama continued when Yve was arrested for a domestic battery charge involving Mohamed, though the charges were later dropped. As of late 2025, Yve is focusing on her career as a Doctor of Oriental Medicine and Acupuncturist in New Mexico. Mohamed, for his part, successfully avoided deportation and has since announced a new relationship, moving on from the scandal with his new girlfriend.
Kara Bass (31, Sales Executive, USA) & Guillermo Rojer (24, Server, Venezuela)
- Original Story: Kara met Guillermo while she was living in the Dominican Republic. Their 7-year age gap and Kara’s history of partying caused friction, with Guillermo often feeling disrespected and worried about Kara’s controlling nature. They married despite their differences.
- Current Status: IN LIMBO (Potential Split & Reconciliation).
- Latest Update: Kara and Guillermo welcomed their first child, a son named Nicolas Antonio, in late 2022. For most of 2023 and 2024, they seemed happy, but in a shocking twist, speculation about a split surfaced in 2024 and was seemingly confirmed in a TLC-related video in October 2025. However, the narrative is now complicated. Just weeks later, in December 2025, new reports emerged suggesting the couple might be open to reconciliation, hinting they were "giving it one last shot" during a romantic getaway. The future of their marriage remains one of the biggest question marks of the Season 9 cast, with fans eagerly awaiting a definitive update on their co-parenting and relationship status.
The Quiet Success Story: A Family Growing Stronger
Not all couples from Season 9 ended in chaos. One duo managed to navigate their differences and build a stable life together, proving that the K-1 visa process can, in fact, lead to a genuine, long-lasting marriage.
Patrick Mendes (37, Security Company Owner, USA) & Thaís Ramone (28, Interior Designer, Brazil)
- Original Story: Patrick met Thaís while he was visiting Brazil to reconnect with his father's side of the family. Their main conflict centered on Patrick’s close relationship with his brother, John, and Thaís’s desire for Patrick to be more transparent about his finances and past.
- Current Status: STILL MARRIED & HAPPY PARENTS.
- Latest Update: Patrick and Thaís remain one of Season 9’s success stories. They married and welcomed their daughter, Aleesi Ramone Mendes, in November 2022. The couple has since appeared on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, navigating the challenges of new parenthood and family dynamics, including a trip to Brazil to win over Thaís's parents. As of 2025, Thaís has been open on social media about the challenges of raising a toddler and has hinted at the possibility of having more children with Patrick, though she initially was hesitant. Their life in Las Vegas is stable, with Patrick continuing his business ventures and Thaís working as a social media influencer.
Topical Authority: The Legacy of Season 9 and the K-1 Visa Reality
Season 9 of 90 Day Fiancé, which aired in 2022, has cemented its place in franchise history by showcasing the extreme highs and lows of the K-1 visa process. The season introduced several key themes that continue to resonate with viewers and critics of the show, establishing a strong topical authority on the subject of international relationships and reality TV fame.
The pre-nup debate between Bilal and Shaeeda highlighted the crucial legal and financial vulnerabilities inherent in the K-1 process, where one partner often sacrifices their career and stability to move to the US. Similarly, the Green Card scam allegations against Mohamed underscore the persistent skepticism surrounding the motives of the foreign partner, a recurring and often controversial element of the show's narrative.
In contrast, couples like Emily and Kobe, and Patrick and Thaís, who successfully built a family despite their initial on-screen issues, offer a counter-narrative of genuine love and commitment. Their rapid family growth—especially Emily and Kobe expecting their fourth child—showcases the intense pressure and accelerated timeline many couples feel to establish a permanent life once the K-1 visa is approved. The current status of the Season 9 cast in late 2025 serves as a microcosm of the entire franchise: a complex blend of authentic love stories, dramatic failures, and the often-unpredictable consequences of reality television fame.
