Jihoon was the only foreign partner to appear in-studio.
Aladin, a 29-year-old from Doha, Qatar; Ronald Smith, a 29-year-old from Randfontein, South Africa; Evelin Villegas, a 26-year-old from Engabao, Ecuador; and Sumit, a 30-year-old from New Delhi, India, all called in for the special through video chat.
Karine Martins, however, did not participate in the reunion special at all.
Below is the latest on each 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way couple based on Monday night's episode on TLC.
LAURA and ALADIN
"Aladin, did you tell Laura you want a divorce?" Shaun asked Aladin."I tell her, yeah," Aladin replied.
Laura's co-stars were "in shock," especially Jenny, who was watching backstage.
Aladin said Laura would not change even though he had given her second and third chances. Laura, however, insisted, "You know what? That's what love is!"
Laura admitted she was "not really" okay, and she broke down into tears on the stage when Shaun welcomed her son Liam into the conversation.

RELATED LINK: '90 DAY FIANCE' COUPLES NOWLiam said Laura and Aladin were having "petty" arguments that could be fixed easily, but he accused his mother of having a pattern of behavior in which she goes from one guy to the next and ends up getting hurt.
Liam told Laura that she has "a bad taste in men," makes "poor decisions," and rushes into awful situations that end up with her being devastated. Laura admitted she felt embarrassed.
Aladin laughed at Liam's comments, but Liam replied, "I do not like seeing my mother upset. I don't know what to say or think about this entire situation right now."
Liam insisted Laura's relationship was doomed from the start and everyone knew it. Liam said Laura had ignored all warnings from her friends and family.
Liam confessed he didn't like Aladin "at all," but Laura might be to blame for her relationships not working out. Laura cried about how she's a good person with a good heart who deserves love.
As Laura sobbed, Liam laughed because his dog was barking in the background and Aladin complained that he had tried his best in the relationship and Laura simply didn't care.
Laura's friend Ludwing was then brought out onstage to offer Laura some emotional support, and Laura asked producers to remove Liam from the conversation because he was being so "disrespectful" to her.
Ludwing was unaware of Laura and Aladin's problems, but that's apparently because Laura said she and her husband were just having normal problems a married couple has -- and Aladin so suddenly wanted to divorce her.

Laura wanted to fight for her marriage because she said she loved Aladin and thought he truly loved her in return. Laura began questioning whether Aladin had been using her the whole time, and she said she could only take things "one step at a time" in the future.
Aladin said of the divorce, "It's my decision and it's my life."
Corey called Aladin out on marrying Laura for the wrong reasons, but Aladin insisted he had married her because he loved her. Aladin felt disrespected often, but Deavan pointed out Aladin didn't seem to respect Laura either.
Laura also accused Aladin of using her, and Ronald said Aladin wasn't a man if he was going to run away from his marriage for such silly reasons.
Aladin asked Laura what he used her for, and she replied, "As soon as the money ran out and I wasn't going to get no visa for you, it was [goodbye]!"
Aladin argued he paid for everything in their relationship, including their honeymoon and rent.
Aladin suggested he lost love for Laura because of how she had acted and disrespected him in front of his family. Tiffany told Aladin that he's not perfect and if he really loved Laura, he's stick with her and work out their issues.
Aladin wasn't sure whether he'd be willing to go to marriage counseling.
"It shouldn't be that hard," Aladin said.

Laura asked Aladin if he'd be willing to join her in counseling, and he said, "Fine... I want to do it," before snapping at Laura for repeatedly asking him the same question.

Laura was supposed to head back to Qatar, but it was hard for her to envision the path her life was about to take. She didn't know where her home was going to be, and she said it was "a sucky feeling."
DEAVAN and JIHOON
Deavan said getting pregnant so quickly with Jihoon's baby was "terrifying" and definitely not something she had planned.Deavan insisted there was no doubt in her mind at the time the baby belonged to Jihoon because she hadn't had sex with anyone else in two years.
"I have super sperm," Jihoon said. "King of the sperm."
In never-before-aired footage, Deavan apparently packed her belongings and moved out of Jihoon's parents' place. Deavan returned to America with her son Taeyang so Jihoon could get everything in order.

Deavan didn't feel she could bring her daughter Drascilla to South Korea when Jihoon didn't even have an apartment for them to live in. Deavan didn't want her family to grow up in a cramped space, and she said she needed Jihoon to save money and prove himself.
Deavan told the cameras she'd be willing to return to South Korea once Jihoon stepped up to the plate as a good husband and a good father.
"I knew I needed to go back to America because after one month, nothing was ready," Deavan shared.
Jihoon was just visiting Deavan in the United States at the time, and she said she had tickets -- including one for Drascilla -- to fly back to South Korea in 10 days. However, Jihoon had yet to do everything he had said he would do.
Deavan admitted she didn't find out until a few days earlier that Jihoon had no plan for her family but the ticket had already been purchased because she had been told otherwise.

"Trust takes time. It takes a lot of time. He has broken my trust by lying," Deavan noted.
Deavan said Jihoon's family had to take her in, along with her children, but Jihoon's mother apparently no longer liked Deavan and wished her son had married a Korean woman instead.
Deavan said she had no idea Jihoon's mother felt that way and wanted Jihoon to marry someone "cute and friendly." Deavan's co-stars, however, thought Deavan was very cute.

Deavan acknowledged Jihoon's parents were not holding their son accountable for his actions and behavior. Deavan felt blamed for having a child with Jihoon when two people make a baby, and she apparently wished Jihoon stood up for her more.
Deavan was upset Jihoon's mother felt that way, and she thought it was "ridiculous" her mother-in-law only tolerated and accepted her when her son had impregnated her to begin with.
Deavan said if she had learned about Jihoon's criminal history before traveling to South Korea, she never would have moved there because she'd have to pay for Jihoon's criminal past -- which is something she had dealt with before -- and she wouldn't want her children growing up in that type of environment.
Deavan also said Jihoon's mistake of buying and selling used phones ruined them financially.
TIFFANY and RONALD
Tiffany said her baby Carley Rose was great and only got grumpy when she's hungry, just like her dad.Ronald admitted it wasn't easy being away from his family, but Tiffany revealed she had already purchased plane tickets so she and her children could visit Ronald again in South Africa soon.
After watching footage back of Ronald partying at his bachelor party, Tiffany confessed she was resentful and still hurt by Ronald's behavior.

Ronald said he had attempted to leave the bash, and then Tiffany's co-stars discussed backstage how she deserved someone much better. Deavan pointed out Tiffany should have a Prince Charming in her life.
Ronald apparently gave up drinking and said he was working on building trust with Tiffany every single day. For instance, Ronald takes photos of his ATM withdrawals and sends them to Tiffany.
Tiffany acknowledged it takes a very strong person to take someone with an addiction back. Tiffany said she promised Ronald that she'd never give up on him, but at the same time, it was really hard for her sometimes.
"I will do what I have to do for our family," Ronald insisted.
Shaun then asked Tiffany to reveal the status of Ronald's visa, and Tiffany assured everyone, "He is coming to America."
Ronald, however, had yet to apply for the visa because it was going to cost him a lot of money.
Since Ronald had never been convicted of a charge and all of his charges had been withdrawn, his record was technically clear, which would make obtaining a visa to come to the United States easier.
If Ronald's visa does not get approved, Tiffany said, "That's something we're going to have to face if it happens, but I'm not making a plan for that."
Tiffany said she won't accept anything other than Ronald coming to the United States. She said she simply wasn't ready to move her kids to another country.

Tiffany said when Ronald was wrong, he still maintained a proud attitude when he just needed to shut up and apologize.
Ronald promised he was working to better himself and fix his faults.
But Maggie admitted, "[Ronald] is not someone I would choose for myself let alone for one of my kids. I just would never put myself in the situation that I am aware, fully aware, there are things that are going to be done that are going to hurt me."
Daniel was also welcomed onstage, and Ronald said he loved Daniel so much and was so proud to call him "son." Daniel is apparently a great big brother who takes care of his little sister.
Daniel told Shaun that he didn't like South Africa because it was dangerous and he had to leave all of his friends behind. However, Daniel said he'd move back if it meant he could be with his father.
Tiffany said Ronald coming to America would be best for herself and their children, and Ronald agreed although he'd be making some sacrifices to move.
Jenny and Corey warned Tiffany to be careful with Ronald because he still had some work to do.
Tiffany planned to stick out her relationship with Ronald because she had entered their marriage with love.
JENNY and SUMIT
Jenny said life back in the United States was difficult because she was supposed to be in India with the love of her life. At the time, Jenny was living with her daughter Christina.Sumit called in through video chat from a hotel room in Delhi, and he said his family and wife were aware that he'd be talking to Jenny that day.
Jenny never suspected a wife was in the picture, and she said there were no red flags she had ignored throughout her time with Sumit in India.

After watching footage back of Jenny and Sumit's emotional goodbye in India, Jenny cried and admitted her heart was broken.
"We love each other... and we don't see the age difference between each other. We just love each other. That's all we know, and we want to be together," Jenny vented.
Jenny said Sumit should have told her that he was married but she loved him so much that she probably would have stayed with him anyway. Jenny blamed Sumit's culture for why he got married, saying it was just an arranged marriage he didn't want to begin with.
Sumit explained he had signed up to do 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way so he could shout from the rooftops he's in a relationship with Jenny and loved her, considering his parents wouldn't listen to him or didn't seem to care.
Sumit was hoping to use the show as a way for him to get out of his marriage.
"I was not in love with my wife ever," Sumit admitted.
When Sumit was asked if he was having intimate relations with both Jenny and his wife back home, "No, not at that time."
Jenny believed Sumit's claim, and then Shaun asked Sumit why he didn't demand a divorce from his wife since he was in love with someone else. Sumit insisted he had asked his wife for a divorce multiple times but his family was against the idea and got involved.

Sumit felt guilty for wasting so much of Jenny's time.
Christina and her wife Jen then joined Jenny onstage, and Christina said she wasn't happy with Sumit for catfishing his mom to begin with and then lying about his wife and family situation.

Sumit revealed his wife had filed a case against him and so their divorce was pending. Jenny envisioned Sumit and herself getting back together one day and being together.
Christina wasn't going to hold her mother back, but she was tired of having to bail her mother out of things. Christina just asked her mother to think things through before acting.
"I plan on going back to India. That is the plan," Jenny shared.
Sumit said if his divorce proceeds peacefully, Jenny should not be in danger when she returns to India. Jenny admitted Sumit lied very well, and Christina agreed it was hard to keep track of all of Sumit's lies.
Sumit revealed the only connection he had with his wife was "a fighting connection" because all they did was fight. Sumit and Jenny agreed they were so happy when they could be together.
PAUL and KARINE
Paul had a tough time watching back footage of his "bad" and "explosive" fights with Karine. Paul said it put him "on edge" to learn Karine was receiving money from an American man."It really struck a nerve and it caused a lot of fights. It's something we don't agree with, and it brought me to tears," Paul said.
Evelin told Paul that when a woman receives money from a man, he's usually getting something in return.

Karine spoke often about getting a divorce during the show, and Paul said that's because of the way he speaks and communicates.
Paul believes he comes across aggressively during their arguments and Karine feels like he's being verbally or emotionally abusive when he's not trying to be.

Paul said he and Karine had a lot of ups and downs but he was very focused on his family and being a good husband. Paul insisted he was working hard to improve his communication with Karine.
COREY and EVELIN
Corey said he and Evelin don't do well when they're apart and so they needed to reunite and be together.Corey hated being without Evelin, and he said getting married would help their relationship a lot. He wished he was with Evelin in Engabao, Ecuador, instead of in New York.
