Meet the ‘90 Day Fiance’ Season 9 Cast: See Which Couples Are New and Which Duo Is Back for More

The search for The One continues! 90 Day Fiancé returns for an all-new season in April — and the cast has already caught fans' attention. Season 9 of the TLC reality series will feature six first-time pairings and the return of one fan favorite couple: Ariela and Biniyam. Fans previously met the New Jersey native and the Ethiopian resident during season 2 of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, which aired in the fall of 2020. Their love story continued throughout season 3 of the TLC show. After filming ended, the on-off duo fueled wedding speculation in December 2021 when photos surfaced of them dressed up for a ceremony of some sort. Their road to the altar and an update on where they stand now is something viewers are hoping to see play out on 90 Day Fiancé later this year. However, Ari and Bini aren’t the only couple with drama this season. Newbies Emily and Kobe’s one-night stand in China quickly became more complicated as their chemistry heated up — and when they realized they were expecting a child. “I can’t even believe we are doing a pregnancy test right now,” Emily says in a teaser released on Thursday, March 10. [sendtonews type="float" key="uslaRt0vvp-2833010-14453"] Kara and Guillermo, on the other hand, have issues regarding Kara’s relationship history ahead of their own nuptials. “You have a past of cheating on people,” Guillermo tells Kara in the clip, to which she replies, “Do you even trust me?” Bilal and Shaeeda, for their part, don’t see eye to eye on what it means to be married. Shaeeda, specifically, starts to question their bond when she’s asked to sign a prenup. Family drama will also play a big part in multiple relationships on season 9, including that of Patrick and Thaís, who find themselves cohabitating with the North Dakota native’s family before tying the knot. “Living with my brother is going to be really awkward,” Patrick says in the teaser. He is not alone with his family problems. Jibri and Miona can’t stop arguing over their living arrangement, with Miona insisting, “Living with his parents is definitely going to have to change.” Yvette and Mohamed’s age difference didn’t spark tension at first — they are 23 years apart — but Yvette’s ability to do things on her own quickly caused a rift between her and her fiancé. “I don’t want to be judged,” Yvette explains in the clip. “I’m a grown ass woman.” 90 Day Fiancé premieres on TLC Sunday, April 17 at 8 p.m. ET.

Emily and Kobe

Emily’s whirlwind romance with Kobe, 34, started when she was out clubbing in China, where she worked as an English teacher. Within two weeks the Kansas native, 29, and the Cameroon resident were engaged. Soon thereafter, the couple learned they were expecting their first child. Kobe’s plans to move to the U.S. to be with Emily were postponed amid the COVID-19 pandemic. During his two-year delay, Emily welcomed their son and has been raising him alone. Kobe is ready to finally meet his child, but the prolonged absence from Emily’s life could prove detrimental to their relationship.

Ari and Bini

Ari, 30, and Bini, 31, were first introduced to viewers on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way in 2020. Despite many ups and downs, the pair are focused on giving their relationship one last shot in the U.S. Following Ari’s return to the U.S. to help get their son, Avi, a needed surgery, the duo once again faced communication issues. With Bini leaving Ethiopia for New Jersey, the couple hope they will finally be able to get married with their family's approval.

Kara and Guillermo

Guillermo, 23, caught the attention of Kara, 29, while she was on a work trip to the Dominican Republic, which is where the Venezuelan native lives. The duo kept in touch when Kara returned to the U.S. but decided to give their romance a real shot when she relocated to the Dominican Republic for work. Amid the coronavirus pandemic, Kara moved back to Virginia but stayed committed to her fiancé. With travel restrictions lifted, the couple must see if they can make it for the long haul when Guillermo moves to Charlottesville to be with his fiancée.

Bilal and Shaeeda

The lovebirds moved fast in the early days of their relationship, with Bilal, 42, proposing to the Trinidad and Tobago native, 37, after spending only one week together in person. The pair’s online romance seemingly didn’t prepare them for their real-life problems, especially when it comes to their future plans. Shaeeda wants a family of her own, while Bilal, who is already a father, isn’t sure he wants more kids.

Jibri and Miona

It was love at first sight when Jibri, 28, noticed Miona, 23, at one of his band’s shows in North Serbia. The instant connection led to the South Dakota native proposing to Miona during one of their many trips around the world. The couple’s whirlwind romance may not stack up to life in a small town in South Dakota, especially when Miona had dreams of living the high life in Los Angeles.

Yvette and Mohamed

After Mohamed, 25, slid into Yvette’s DMs, the duo struck up an online relationship, bonding over their love of fitness. Yvette, 48, eventually traveled to Egypt to meet Mohamed in person and they got engaged. However, Yvette’s independent lifestyle in the States and role as the mom of a 12-year-old son with special needs causes some hesitation on Mohamed’s part.

Patrick and Thaís

Patrick, 31, met Thaís, 25, while on a trip to Brazil to reconnect with his father’s side. The duo sparked a romantic relationship when the Texas native searched for a Portuguese teacher on a dating app and Thaís swiped right. In addition to Thaís going through culture shock when she relocates to the U.S., Patrick must face his fears about getting married following his divorce.
