Usman was previously married to Lisa Hamme, 54, whom he had met on Facebook two years before filming 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days' fourth season.


Lisa struggled to trust Usman during their relationship and they split in May 2020. Usman later served Lisa with divorce papers in December 2020 and Lisa has since remarried with a childhood friend.

90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days will follow long-distance relationships and document how each couple found each other as well as their first in-person meeting in a foreign country "and the countless surprises, drama and culture clashes along the way."

In most 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days cases, lovebirds are hoping to get engaged and begin the K-1 Visa process.

After traveling across the world, the couples will determine if love can conquer all as they experience challenges such as language barriers, interfering families, cultural differences, age gaps, ex partners, and "shady pasts," according to TLC.

Below is what happened on the fourth episode of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days' fifth season:

MIKE AND XIMENA

Mike just landed in Colombia to meet Ximena after investing a full year into their relationship. Mike was wondering if Ximena was going to be who she said she is and if the couple was going to have chemistry in person.

Ximena ran up to Mike in the airport and hugged him and gave him a sweet little kiss on the lips, and Mike said he was "extremely happy" seeing Ximena for the first time.

But Ximena admitted her first kiss with Mike wasn't passionate, adding, "I think there will be more kisses better than that one."

Ximena said Mike looked like "a sweetie" with his little glasses but he's also shorter than she thought he'd be.

In the cab ride to a restaurant, Ximena grilled Mike on the text messages in his phone, and he just hoped Ximena would learn to trust him. However, he appreciated Ximena acting like he's all hers and didn't seem to mind her being a little jealous.


There was clearly a language barrier between the pair as they ate lunch, and Ximena wasn't sure if something was bothering her man. Mike found it hard to connect with Ximena since they couldn't really understand each other.

"We only have two weeks to get to know each other, and I want to propose by the end of this trip," Mike shared in a confessional.

Mike and Ximena just kept repeating, "I love you," to each other.

Ximena proceeded to introduce Mike to her family, including her sister, brother, stepmother Derly and father Jamir. Mike also met Ximena's sons, Juan, 9, and Harold, 3.


Mike was a little overwhelmed and nervous to meet Ximena's entire extended family, and Ximena explained how Mike was tired after a long trip. Mike also turned red because he was so nervous.

Mike attempted to communicate with everyone by using a language-translator device, but it didn't work very well.

Since Mike doesn't speak Spanish, Jamir wasn't sure Mike would be an adequate match for his daughter, and he pointed out how Mike's technology was useless for communicating. Ximena felt bad because Mike clearly appeared to be uncomfortable, but her boys said they loved Mike after meeting him and would want him to be their stepfather.

Mike's toys for the kids were also a big hit since Juan and Harold never had much of a father figure.

Mike had been waiting a year to be intimate with Ximena, but the couple couldn't get Harold to sleep in his own room happily since the boys had apparently been sleeping with Ximena in her bed.


"I've been imagining this night ever since I first met Ximena and said, 'I love you,' online, so it's just all of this build up and anticipation for tonight. It's a really big deal and I just want this to work and be perfect," Mike shared in a confessional.

CALEB AND ALINA

Alina woke up to Caleb bringing her coffee in bed. Caleb recalled how he and Alina didn't kiss or have sex because he was in his head about their physical differences. Caleb also insisted he was exhausted after traveling and didn't anticipate having a magical night.

Alina admitted to Caleb he had upset her by falling asleep before they could even cuddle.

"You're getting cuddles now," Caleb said.

"I wanted them yesterday," Alina complained.

Caleb apparently hurt Alina's feelings since she had been hoping to receive some affection from Caleb.


"I'm not begging you for d-ck. I'm not a thirsty-ass b-tch," Alina told Caleb, which made him laugh. "Is this a joke for you? I don't get it."

Caleb insisted he was in a better mood and would start the day with a whole new vibe, and Alina said she liked touching Caleb and looking at his muscular sexy body.

Caleb gifted Alina an eco-friendly, recycled tumbleweed necklace, which he called "a little piece of my home," and then showed his girlfriend a large black backpack he had purchased to carry Alina around on hikes through the mountains.

Alina was touched Caleb had come up with different ways to do activities together, and then Caleb told Alina that he'd like to meet her best friend Elijah.

"I think we have a lot of chemistry," Caleb said of Alina, "but I think it might be awkward to have a third wheel. We'll see how this goes."


When Caleb met Elijah for the first time, Elijah expressed disappointment in the fact Caleb had not kissed Alina after meeting her in person for the first time after knowing each other for 13 years.

Caleb said Elijah was being divisive and creating issues that didn't actually exist, and so he was worried Elijah was going to ruin his trip.

Elijah taught Caleb how to maneuver Alina's wheelchair through the city streets, and Elijah admitted being in a mosque with Caleb was a little awkward due to his spiritual feelings and beliefs about chakras and energies.

Elijah wanted Caleb to treat Alina like a queen, and Caleb certainly didn't win over Alina's protective pal that day. Caleb thought Elijah was acting like Alina needed more help than necessary.

Caleb announced at dinner that evening how he really cared about Alina and she was going to be his focus going forward. Caleb didn't want to talk about his ex-girlfriends or former flames.

Alina shared how her previous relationship lasted for six months and she was keeping a secret that could potentially ruin everything.


"I've been living with this ex-boyfriend kind of until recently. [Caleb] doesn't know that," Alina said.

"I didn't tell Caleb about my living situation... because I was afraid he would stop pursuing me and he would back off. I know I need to come clean with Caleb as soon as possible, but I'm afraid when he finds out the truth, he is going to think I am a liar and maybe have some suspicions that I hid something else from him."

Alina told the cameras that she wasn't hiding anything else from Caleb.

After dinner that night, Elijah left Caleb and Alina alone, and the pair proceeded to go to their hotel room and make out on the bed.

MEMPHIS AND HAMZA

Memphis had just landed in Tunisia, where she met her fiance Hamza for the first time in person after eight months of talking on the phone and videochatting.

Memphis and Hamza had a difficult time communicating due to the language barrier, and then Memphis -- who admittedly struggles with low self-esteem due to a past relationship with little to no intimacy -- complained in the taxi about how she wasn't featured in the picture on Hamza's phone.


Hamza, however, assured Memphis that he liked her and wasn't trying to hide her from the world.

"Me mama told me not to sleep before marriage," Memphis revealed. "I am not with you."

"Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" Memphis lamented. "You told me I was going to sleep with you, and so you told me a lie!"

Memphis said she was pissed, especially since the couple only had two weeks until their wedding day. Memphis wanted to find out if the pair had intimacy before walking down the aisle and committing to him for the rest of her life.

Memphis was okay with staying with Hamza's mother and sisters temporarily during her stay, but she told Hamza they needed to have sex before marriage to make sure they're compatible physically.


The next morning, Hamza's mother discovered Memphis and Hamza were in the same room together, and so she seemed to assume Memphis had spent the night with her son.

Hamza's mother appeared to be disappointed and angry, and Memphis blurted out "oh sh-t" in a confessional.

KIM AND USMAN

Usman invited Kim to his "team meeting" that morning in Tanzania in regards to Usman's music video shoot, but she was just looking forward to spending some time with him alone.

Usman told his co-workers that he was catching feelings for Kim after she had gifted him a laptop and the latest video game, but his manager had set up a meeting for Usman and a Nigerian rapper and actress Rosa Ree so the two artists could bond and potentially work together.

Usman held Kim's hand at the table, and Usman's management team confessed how being with "another old lady" wouldn't be good for his image. Kim also wondered if this meeting with Rosa Ree was planned to try to push Kim out of the way or make her angry.

She wondered if the men were trying to prove "this is the kind of woman Usman should be dating."


Kim told the cameras that if she saw Usman and Rosa Ree flirt, she'd have a meltdown and flip a table because that's not the way she plays.

Kim was frustrated and angry before meeting Rosa Ree at a restaurant, but Usman reminded Kim that he had never met Rosa Ree before and needed to have this interaction for his career.

Once Rosa Ree arrived, Rosa Ree said she'd hook Usman up with some dancers, and Kim acknowledged how she felt like a third wheel with this beautiful and young addition to their table.

Usman told Rosa Ree that Kim was "a fan and more" and they could possibly get married down the line -- which blew Kim's mind -- and Kim added how they definitely had "potential" to be a romantic couple.

Rosa Ree called their romance "beautiful," and Kim said she liked the female artist and no longer viewed her as being intimidating or a threat to her relationship with Usman.

ELLA AND JOHNNY

Ella was shown doing witchcraft with her coven to do a love spell on Johnny so that her relationship would thrive and flourish.


Johnny, Ella's Asian prince, dressed up in protective gear so he wouldn't contract COVID-19 when flying to the United States. Johnny said Ella "has a beautiful face and "fantastic" personality, but he seemed to have an issue with her size and "belly."

Johnny told the cameras that he wanted to help Ella with weight loss so she would become more beautiful and healthy. Johnny intended on dieting and exercising with Ella as well as introducing her to some prescriptions of Chinese herbs to help her lose weight.

Johnny said he's attracted to American women because they are "very sexy" and tend to be more independent than the women he had met in China.

"I hope I become a redneck cowboy. Like yee-haw!" Johnny said.

Before getting on a plane, Johnny spent some time with his friends, parents and son Stony, who lives with Johnny's parents ever since Johnny had gotten a divorce.


One of Johnny's friends joked about how Johnny would feel "pressed and suffocated" when having sex with Ella because of her size, but Johnny insisted it's easy for a person to lose weight as long as he or she wants to.

Johnny said he'd be willing to quit his job as an electrical car manufacturer and stop renting his place in Shanghai. Johnny also revealed he wanted to apply for a Singapore visa, where he would quarantine for two weeks before entering the United States.

Johnny wanted to spend three months with Ella in America and recognized that would require big sacrifices on his part, especially since he loved his job.

"Ella has gotten me through my darkest days," Johnny told his friends, adding how he wanted to be a gentleman and essentially court Ella and make the first move.

Johnny was apparently lonely and ready to take a risk on love. He said he really wanted to get married again at age 35 and hopefully propose marriage to Ella during his trip.

Ella later dressed up in anime for a videochat session with Johnny, and she teased him about how they were about to have some good times in the intimacy department, with Cosplay in and out of the bedroom. Johnny also couldn't wait to try life on a ranch with all the animals.

But Johnny was scared about leaving his son and potentially getting stuck in America for a very long time due to the coronavirus pandemic. He was seemingly having doubts about his trip, and Ella feared Johnny would ultimately determine she's not worth the sacrifice.

GINO AND JASMINE

Gino, who had flown from Detroit to Panama City, said he had slept great after enjoying his first night with Jasmine.

"She blew me away," Gino said, before bursting into laughter.

Jasmine told Gino that he's a good kisser, and Jasmine said she was actually surprised about Gino's performance in bed.

"I wasn't expecting him being kind of savage," Jasmine bragged. "And everything was working better than I expected."


Jasmine told Gino that he had done better than expected, and Gino bragged about not needing one of the little blue pills.

"It was not average. It was outstanding," Jasmine said of her first sexual encounter with Gino. "We have such good sex."

Gino even took his hat off for Jasmine, who said she loved Gino's bald head since it felt like a baby.

Jasmine then showed Gino Old Town in Panama City and looked forward to becoming even more comfortable around her man.

While shopping, Jasmine called Gino's ex-wife "stupid," which rubbed him the wrong way. And Gino's reaction made Jasmine frustrated, as she sarcastically called his ex-wife intelligent and perfect.


"I hate that Gino has a past and has been married before with a Brazilian girl. And I saw a video chat -- his house screams her, every corner," Jasmine complained.

"But if we're going to have a future together and you're expecting me to move to the United States, I don't want to live in a house that someone else decorated."

Gino said he couldn't talk about his exes with Jasmine and that Jasmine would probably be incredibly angry if she found out he's still friends with one of them.
