The series also features Bilal Hazzies, a 43-year-old from Kansas City, MO, and Shaeeda Sween, a 37-year-old from Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago; Kara Bass, a 29-year-old from Charlottesville, VA, and Guillermo Rojer, a 23-year-old from Venezuela; Ed, a 56-year-old from San Diego, CA, and Liz, a 29-year-old from San Diego, CA; and Angela, a 56-year-old from Hazlehurst, GA, and Michael, a 34-year-old from Nigeria.
The 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? couples who previously starred on the spinoff's sixth season are Elizabeth and Andrei, Angela and Michael, and Yara and Jovi.
Jenny and Sumit previously appeared on all three seasons of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way, which follows American citizens moving to foreign countries for the sake of love.
In a departure from 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s original premise -- which was continuing to follow the lives of couples who married after the American resident's foreign partner came to the United States on a K-1 visa -- Usman and Kim are not married, and neither are Ed and Liz (nor is Liz even a foreigner).
Jenny and Sumit are in fact married, but their wedding or ceremony never aired on TLC. In addition, the couple are also not living in America but in India, Sumit's home country.
Kim and Usman appeared on Season 5 of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days and the season showed Kim traveling overseas to meet Usman in person for the first time. Usman also previously appeared on Season 4 of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days with his prior American partner Lisa Hamme, whom he married in the show's season finale.
Ed and Liz previously appeared on Seasons 1 and 2 of 90 Day: The Single Life on discovery+.
"As these couples navigate the next chapter of their relationships, they'll be put to the test on everything from emotional affairs to disapproving family to immigration issues. With these couples kissing the honeymoon stage goodbye, are they headed toward happily ever after or happily never after?" TLC teased of the new Happily Ever After? season.
Below is what happened on Episode 11 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s seventh season.
ANDREI and ELIZABETH
Andrei and Elizabeth packing for Grand Canyon, where they planned to tell their fathers about the pregnancy.
RELATED LINK: '90 DAY FIANCE' COUPLES NOWElizabeth said she'd typically rush to tell her mother and sisters the big news but her sisters had attended her mother's birthday party with Charlie, which she apparently thought was a betrayal.
The couple was shown making posters together, and Andrei accused his pregnant wife of copping an attitude with him and being cranky. He said Elizabeth had the tendency to overcomplicate things, but Elizabeth stopped him in his tracks so the insults wouldn't continue.
Elizabeth said after she and Andrei made this announcement to their fathers, they would reveal the pregnancy news on social media, which would fill in the rest of Elizabeth's family along with the rest of the world.
Seeing the Grand Canyon was a dream come true for Andrei, and so it was a big day for everyone.

The poster reveal didn't exactly go smoothly since English was written over Romanian, but Chuck Potthast was thrilled and "overwhelmed with joy" to discover he was going to have another grandchild. Andrei's dad was also ecstatic.
Chuck got emotional and thanked the couple for sharing the big news with them in this special way.
Chuck was surprised Elizabeth and Andrei weren't going to tell Elizabeth's sisters and mother the news in private, but Andrei explained to Chuck how he believed someone in his family had reported him to immigration and gotten him in trouble.

Elizabeth stood by her decision because she thought her sister always "had it out" for Andrei, and she thought it was worse than ever. Elizabeth therefore agreed with Andrei's choice to hide the pregnancy from them, allowing them to see how much they had hurt Elizabeth.
KIM and USMAN
Kim had a little bit of hope after her second meeting with Usman's mother and brothers, but she still wanted to be Usman's first wife — and she told Usman that was the case.Usman's mother wanted her son to marry a young local woman in Nigeria to have a baby with and then make Kim his second wife. Usman's mother even arranged a meeting for Usman and an African woman.
Kim admitted she was scared because she didn't want Usman to have feelings for another woman like he had for her.
Usman said it would take a very long time to form a connection with another woman given they had been through so much as a couple. Usman said it wouldn't be possible for him to like this new woman more than Kim.
Usman said it seemed like his mother liked and respected Kim, and so he asked his girlfriend to allow him to do this and be patient and understanding.
"I'm not happy about this at all. It makes my skin crawl that I'm in Nigeria and you're going to meet some other woman. I don't like it at all," Kim lamented.
Kim admitted that being a second wife was something she wasn't willing to compromise on, but Kim wanted to prove her love for Usman and hopefully receive a blessing to become Usman's first wife.
Kim therefore started to plan a grand gesture of love, flashing two gold wedding bands to the camera.
"I need to show him I'm 'The One,'" Kim noted.
Kim was therefore going to propose marriage to Usman that night. She wanted to "seal the deal" and confirm that she was Usman's priority and that he loved her "the most."
Kim put out candles and red rose petals for Usman, and when he finally returned to their hotel room, and he said, "Wow, oh my god!... So impressive!"

"So I'm going to ask you a question. Will you marry me?" Kim asked while down on one knee. "Regardless of anything that happens, I want you to know that I'm always going to be here. I'm not going anywhere."
Usman replied, "If marrying you is what's going to make you happy in this life, I'm ready to marry you... Yes, yes, yes."

It wasn't Usman's culture for the woman to propose, but Usman thought it was beautiful, thoughtful and intimate. He felt loved and said he loved his new engagement ring. Usman told Kim that he'd never forget that night and he never saw the gesture coming.
Kim asked Usman to work his charm and make her the first wife, and he agreed to try and do everything he could to make that happen. But he still needed permission from his mother and was scared about how she might react.
Usman said if this didn't work out, Kim would just have to get used to the idea of being his second wife.
The next day, Usman went on his little date with the woman his mother wanted to set him up with. Kim asked Usman not to have fun, and he promised to only spend two hours with this person.
Kim said she had to swallow her hurt and anger and that she simply wasn't happy. She said she had sacrificed a lot for the relationship.
Kim then FaceTimed with Jamal, and he flipped out over the idea of Usman agreeing to meet a woman with whom he could have an arranged marriage. Jamal thought it was crazy that Kim was okay with that, especially considering she had been through a lot with Jamal's father.
Kim explained how Usman's culture was different and she planned to bring Usman to America on a K-1 visa. Jamal found the situation "very disappointing" and said Kim had not thought this through, but she disagreed.
Jamal pointed out how Kim had popped the question behind Usman's mother's back and so it seemed like Usman was perfectly fine with deceiving his mother since he had said "yes" to the engagement to begin with.

"If I find out Usman is lying to me about making me the first wife, there is no more hope in this relationship," Kim vented.
ANGELA and MICHAEL
Angela's friend Rene told Michael that he was going to battle over the wrong thing, meaning the deletion of his Instagram account. Michael said being an influencer made him happy, but Rene suggested he should put his foot down with something else.Angela called Michael "a liar and a scammer," but she couldn't fly out of Nigeria for two more days.
Angela was furious because he had promised he would take down his social media account before they made love, and Rene definitely took Angela's side on that one.
Michael insisted he wasn't using Instagram to cheat, but then Angela alleged Michael had called another woman his "person." Angela said she had screenshots of this and she wasn't going to allow Michael to lie to her anymore.
Angela said a married man would never say that to another woman, but Michael just argued it's a person he knows very well.

"Ain't nobody your m-thrf-cking person but me! You better change that line," Angela yelled at Michael. "You have an excuse for everything you've done wrong."
Michael threw Angela's friendship with Billy in her face, but she said she was trying to make Michael jealous because he hadn't been calling her or making her feel loved at all.
Michael insisted he was loyal and everyone in his community knew he's married.
Angela concluded that Michael didn't care about her and had viewed her as "an opportunity" as part of "a romance scam." Michael disagreed, but Angela said her husband was in denial.

Angela said there was no resolving their fight and she had all the closure she needed.
"I know where I stand. I'm divorcing you," Angela told Michael to his face.
"For crying out loud! Why would you say this?" Michael asked.
"Have your Instagram," Angela replied. "I'm over this."
Angela said she wanted a man who would make her his priority and jump through hoops for her. Angela noted how that person could be Billy, or at least someone like him, because he never tried to change her and accepted her for who she is.
Angela then stormed off and said Michael had never loved her, and Michael prayed this wasn't going to be the end of his marriage.
SHAEEDA and BILAL
Shaeeda was frustrated because she and Bilal had yet to discuss a baby timeline.Shaeeda was also waiting for her work permit to arrive. Shaeeda, who had a successful yoga studio in Trinidad and missed her students, was therefore giving free yoga classes online to her students back home.
Bilal participated in one of her classes. Bilal pranked Shaeeda playing a loud fart from his phone mid-session.
Shaeeda then received her employment card in the mail, so Shaeeda said they could start looking at places to lease for her business in Kansas City.
Shaeeda wanted to feel independent and work in America, and Bilal had agreed to help jumpstart Shaeeda's career in the U.S. via their prenuptial agreement.

Shaeeda said Bilal made her feel like an infant and she wasn't going to stay home and clean his house all day.

Bilal had two real estate agents and friends, Stacy and Mimi, show Shaeeda a few properties while he went to work, but he made it known a lease wasn't going to be signed that day.
Bilal just hoped his wife's career aspirations in the United States would take Shaeeda's mind off having a baby for a while.
Shaeeda, however, still broke down into tears about having to wait to get pregnant. She didn't know what was going to happen two years from that point.
YARA and JOVI
Yara and Jovi were shown looking at apartments in Prague, although Jovi had absolutely no desire to leave America and move there. Jovi thought looking at places was ridiculous, but Yara just wanted to see what was out there, especially since her mother was pleading for the couple to move with Mylah.Jovi was upset because he felt Yara had gone behind his back with these plans and he wanted to make decisions as a family. Yara accused Jovi of being "rude" and "ugly" in front of her mother, but Jovi thought the whole situation was unfair.
The couple first saw an apartment that Jovi said looked like a basement or a dungeon. It was listed for $164,000. A three bedroom place was going to be double the price, according to the couple's realtor.
Jovi hoped the "disastrous" apartment hunting would discourage Yara from looking for a place seriously.
But Yara's mother said Yara should get a place of her own because people can be "unpredictable," basically suggesting that Yara and Jovi's marriage may end. Yara's mother didn't want to see her daughter end up with nothing.
Jovi then FaceTimed with his mother Gwen and expressed her frustration over Yara's actions. Gwen said a wife shouldn't make such a tremendous decision without her husband and she didn't even know what to say.

Jovi was never worried about Yara moving back to Europe -- until now. He feared Yara was planning a life he wasn't going to be a part of. He claimed their life was in the United States and that wasn't going to change.
Yara later insisted she was making her own choices, not following her mother's demands, and her main priority was to protect her child. Yara believed that she needed a place of her own in case something happened to Jovi or they separated.
Jovi said if they got divorced, everything would be split 50/50 in America, but Yara wasn't convinced of that. Yara said Jovi sometimes hung money over her head and threatened to take things away from her, and so she said she needed to protect herself in case he became crazy one day.

Jovi told the cameras this topic never would've come up if it weren't for Yara's mother Olga.
"If Yara has a problem with our marriage, she should talk to me about it instead," Jovi griped.
ED and LIZ
After a therapy session, Ed ordered a massage table and essential oils so the couple could rub each other and hopefully get their engines running.Ed said he felt strongly for Liz but their intimacy had been lacking for quite some time, mainly due to their explosive arguments. And so he massaged her first.
"When things are good between Ed and I, it's amazing... These are the moments when I realize I cherish him," Liz shared in a confessional.
Ed suddenly stripped down naked, and she pointed out how she loved it when Ed was vulnerable with her and comfortable in his own skin. The pair did a little role playing, with Liz massaging her fiance, and then Liz recommended some back hair waxing.
Ed predicted it was going to be a painful experience, but he let Liz do it. Ed screamed in pain and joked about how Liz had pulled out his kidney, and Liz seemed to enjoy the whole experience.

Ed wanted the second party to be fun and drama free, but Liz wasn't sure what Ed's relatives thought about them as a couple. Liz feared it would be the world against her, but Ed didn't think she had anything to worry about.
"It does worry me that if someone has a bad opinion or gets negative, it can really get into [Ed's] head, and I don't think we can survive something like that," Liz explained to the cameras.
