Tim from Dallas, TX, and Melyza from Colombia shocked 90 Day Fiance fans with their engagement news on Sunday's episode of 90 Day Bares All on discovery+.
90 Day Bares All host Shaun Robinson was first joined by Melyza, who shared that she was seeing someone after her breakup with Tim.

"I actually am [dating again] -- and I'm really happy," Melyza said.
Shaun asked if she could meet this lucky man, and then Melyza appeared ecstatic to welcome Tim into her videochat.
"It's so good to see you guys back together again! How is the relationship going?!" Shaun asked.
"It's going good," Tim replied.
"It's going great," Melyza said simultaneously.

"It's going great so far," Tim reiterated.
Melyza revealed she and Tim had "reconnected" not long after the couple opted to split and go their separate ways.
"We started reminiscing about things we had done in the past. We were like, 'I really miss you'... We would talk about the plans that we had for the future and everything, and that's basically how it happened," Melyza shared.
"We just can't stay away from each other. No matter how hard we try to move on and forget about each other, we can't," Tim added.

90 Day Bares All then showed footage of the trip Tim had taken to Medellin, Colombia to reunite with Melyza and solidify their relationship status.
"We were not doing very well after breaking up and now I can't believe we're back together and he's back here," Melyza gushed in the video clip.
The day after Tim's arrival in Colombia, Melyza flashed a diamond ring on her hand, and Tim shouted, "It's official!"
"We just got engaged!" Melyza gushed while the couple appeared to be at a beach.
"I pulled the trigger and she actually said 'yes,'" Tim said with a laugh.

Tim proposed near a pier and Melyza gushed about loving her gorgeous ring. She said the marriage proposal was "awesome" and she and Tim were "so happy" together.
Tim apparently tricked Melyza into thinking they were just going to take some pictures at the pier and so Melyza insisted she was totally surprised by Tim popping the question.
Tim said Melyza was "shaking, big time" during the proposal.
Both Tim and Melyza also posted photos from the sweet marriage proposal over the weekend on their respective Instagram accounts.

Melyza told People that she "loved every second" of Tim's marriage proposal "because it was so us."
And Tim recalled of the big moment in Cartagena, "I thought we would get dressed up real nice and go out to dinner at least once; I could not have been more wrong. It was nothing but sandals and shorts the whole time."
"I decided to take her out on a pier that felt like it was just us in the middle of nowhere with Cartagena in the background," he said. "I pointed at anything I could to get her to turn around and that is when I dropped to a knee. Best moment of my life."
And the proposal clearly turned Melyza's life around as well because she had felt "hopeless and crushed" when she and Tim were apart.
"I believed that my chance at happily ever after with the man I love was gone. Fortunately, I was wrong," Melyza explained.
"Our engagement feels right. Putting a ring on it doesn't solve it all, but it's definitely a big step in the right direction, surely one that we wanted to take years ago."

Tim, who once cheated on Melyza with a co-worker and lost her trust, gushed that being engaged to Melyza makes him feel "complete."

"Before our proposal... I thought the 'right' thing to do was try to move on and the distance was killing me," Tim admitted to People.
"I now realize how foolish I was -- like always -- and the bottom line is, Melyza is the only woman I am meant to spend my life with. She sees more in me than I do in myself sometimes and I can never find that in anyone; let's be real, I am a pain."
Tim acknowledged he and Melyza still need time to repair the damage in their relationship but they are both optimistic about the future.
"We both know how much we love each other, how comfortable we are with each other, and how positive we are that our life together will be amazing," Tim said.
Tim and Melyza previously starred on Season 2 of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way, and the show's Summer 2020 finale featured Tim, after visiting Melyza in Colombia and trying to work through their issues, moving back to the United States in order to work and save money for their future together.
Melyza confessed the idea of Tim moving back to America made her "nervous and uncomfortable," but Tim insisted his goal was to put the pair in a more stable financial position long-term.
"I can't believe that he's leaving. I think this is bullsh-t. This was definitely not what we were planning on doing. This is not what I expected, and I'm just really disappointed... I did feel true and real love with him," Melyza told the cameras on 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way's second season.
And Tim feared Melyza would give up on their relationship or hook up with somebody else while he was away.
"I'm not moving back to run away from you; I'm moving back so that I can run back to you," Tim assured Melyza when saying goodbye to her.
Although the couple subsequently broke up, they left flirty comments on each other's social media pages in late 2020 and Melyza joked on the January premiere of the Strikes Back! spinoff that Tim looked "cute" and she might want to have sex with him again.

Many 90 Day Fiance viewers therefore anticipated -- or at least hoped -- the couple may give their love another shot eventually.
