90 Day Fiance features Americans who have fallen in love with foreigners bringing their fiances to the United States on K-1 visas.

However, once the couple is in America together, the American must marry their overseas partner within the 90-day period allowed by the visa or the foreigner has to return to their home country.

Below is the latest on several of 90 Day Fiance's eighth-season couples based on the ninth episode.


BRANDON AND JULIA

Brandon asked his parents to join him for dinner so he could talk to them. He knew he had to stand his ground because his relationship with Julia was in jeopardy.

Brandon explained "some things [had] happened" and so he and Julia needed to leave the farm.

"She's not happy being here," Brandon noted.

"She's only been here a few weeks!" Betty argued.

Brandon blamed the animals for Julia's unhappiness and revealed he planned to rent an apartment and some how make that work.

Ron begged Brandon not to "make a stupid decision," but Brandon said he didn't have a choice because Julia either wanted to move into a place of their own or return to Russia.

Ron and Betty were shocked and asked if Julia's problem had something to do with them, and Brandon admitted half the issue was the animals at the farm and the other half was Betty's neediness of Brandon and requirements of her at the farm.

Betty immediately broke down into tears, saying all she had tried to do was love and be accepting of Julia.

Betty hoped to be a family and eventually pass on the farm to Brandon so it could go on from generation to generation and Brandon's children would love the farm.

"That's a beautiful world you paint," Brandon said.

"But this has been our world!" Betty pointed out.

"But I don't think that was the world we were hoping for," Brandon explained.

Betty said she had been hoping to gain a daughter and not lose her only son. Betty cried and complained that she didn't want Brandon to go, and Ron said his son needed to sit down and talk to Julia again because he didn't have the money for an apartment.

Betty suggested Brandon needed to save money for his wedding, but Brandon reiterated, "Either I'm staying here alone or we're leaving together."

"The fact that she's making you choose between us and her, that just makes me so sad," Betty pouted.

Brandon said he hated seeing his mother so emotional but it didn't change his mind or the situation at hand.


Betty asked if they could do anything to change Brandon or Julia's mind, and Brandon asked if maybe they could stay in the same room.

Betty was about to change her mind, but Ron jumped in and said, "No, absolutely not. No... I'm not going to give in to her."

"Why?!" Betty urged.

"No," Ron replied. "There's got to be some respect here, Brandon. That makes me angry, because if this is what it's going to take, you know what? You guys do need to find your own place."

"I think so," Brandon agreed.

Betty begged Ron to stop and said they could maybe figure that out if that's the compromise she needed to make in order to not lose her son and have the couple stay in her home.

Brandon said that would be a step in the right direction and it would be nice for Betty to bring that up to her. Ron insisted that shouldn't have been a bargaining chip, but Betty was more concerned with keeping her baby boy on the farm.

Ron hated the idea of relinquishing control, but he eventually gave in and let Betty take the lead.

With 70 days left to wed, Brandon and Julia went to a bar and Brandon revealed the conversation with his parents went "okay."

Brandon asked Julia how she'd feel about continuing to live with his parents if they could stay in the same room and she no longer had to work with the animals, and Julia appeared shocked that that was even an option. Julia agreed to stay for "a short time" in that case.

Brandon assured Julia that would be a better plan for them so he could continue to save money. Julia was proud of Brandon for standing up to his parents and fixing the problem with "a little fix."


Julia, however, was worried Betty was going to hate her going forward. Julia didn't want Betty to think she's "a bad girl" and try to change Brandon's mind about his fiancee.

Brandon felt optimistic Julia could build a better relationship with his parents over time, but he pointed out they only needed to worry about one problem at a time.

The couple then returned home a little tipsy and went to bed together.


MIKE AND NATALIE

Mike said Natalie and his mother's meeting went well and he felt he and Natalie were on "a good, healthy pace" to build a strong foundation and relationship. Mike believed he and Natalie were in a good place, and he wanted to keep it that way.

Mike's mom Trish asked Mike if Natalie had good intentions for moving to America such as marrying Mike and starting a family with him. Trish just wanted to make sure Mike wasn't Natalie's ticket to America.

Mike, in his heart, believed that Natalie only had the best of intentions, but things were moving fast and he only had two months on Natalie's K-1 visa to figure things out.

Mike said he was "working on" returning Natalie's engagement ring but he was in no rush, and Trish admitted that she didn't want to see her son get hurt because Mike and Natalie had already hurt each other.

"I think Natalie's sorry for [returning the ring], but I don't think you're over that. That tells me [your relationship] is a little rocky," Trish explained, before asking her son to make a decision that's best for him.

When Trish left, she asked Natalie to take care of Mike, and Natalie said she was sad to see Mike's mother go.

Natalie hoped to begin the wedding-planning process and fix things with Mike.

With 58 days to wed, Natalie said Mike stopped planning their wedding once his mother left and seemed to be pushing things off. Natalie told the cameras she and Mike needed to talk about these things because she didn't have much time left on her K-1 visa.

Mike said he wanted to get to know Natalie better before marrying her, including her interests and hobbies, and spend some quality time with her.

While driving, Mike pointed out that Natalie was wearing a lot of makeup and her hands felt greasy from lotion, and Natalie said she couldn't stand it when loved ones criticize her and make her feel bad.

Mike said Natalie had an "on and off switch" and she seemed to love him and then hate him. Mike was still trying to figure Natalie out, and this part of her personality was apparently a concern for him.

The couple then went on a hike in the woods and Natalie gushed about loving nature and the smell of the trees.

"We really need to show each other that we want this and we need this, and I hope everything goes well. I really do," Mike noted.

Natalie finally unpacked her clothes, but she told Mike the smell in his closet wasn't a good one. The couple therefore went shopping for a fragrance and other groceries.

"I feel like me and Mike are not on the same page with planning a wedding and he's not responding. I have this thought maybe he doesn't want to at all. Maybe he doesn't want it," Natalie said.

Natalie told Mike that they didn't have plates or a wedding dress or anything, and so she asked him to sit down and start planning their big day together.

"I'm not really ready to start planning. I think we have other things to work on. I think we have to work on other things before planning a wedding 100 percent," Mike told Natalie.

Mike felt a lot of pressure to tie the knot, and while he said he loved her, he just couldn't pull the trigger because marriage is a huge step. Mike didn't want to rush into anything.

"When I try to express my feelings, she takes offense to it," Mike said.

Mike agreed to a small ceremony, but Natalie said she needed to plan the guest list and needed a budget to work with. Natalie said there were a lot of details to take care of even if they decided on a small wedding.

Natalie began fearing she wasn't going to have a wedding at all and that Mike would leave her.


JOVI AND YARA

Yara and Jovi's reunion wasn't really a happy one because Jovi had arrived in New Orleans with an alcoholic drink in his hand early in the morning.

Yara accused Jovi of being drunk, but Jovi said he deserved a drink after working for a month straight and Yara shouldn't have given him a hard time about it.

Yara had yet to tell Jovi that she was pregnant, but she admitted it was "really hard" for her to keep a secret, especially a secret of this magnitude.

While the pair was walking around New Orleans together, Yara finally said that she needed to tell him something.

"Tell me," Jovi said.

"I'm pregnant," Yara replied.

"No, you're not," Jovi said in disbelief.

"Yes, I am, really," Yara insisted.

Jovi said if Yara was pregnant, she would have told him right away and she tends to get him all riled and worked up for fun or for no reason. But Yara insisted she was serious.

"It's no big deal... I can be happy if it's true," Jovi said, explaining that at least Yara was in the United States now instead of the Ukraine.

Jovi acted like he didn't believe Yara, which made her a little bit upset. Jovi asked to see the evidence in a pregnancy test, and she couldn't believe Jovi was treating her that way.

Yara apparently once teased Jovi that she was pregnant by showing him a picture of the test she had taken from her first pregnancy, which had ended in a miscarriage. Jovi said Yara kept the act up for a whole day, but Yara insisted she had told Jovi the truth after 10 minutes.

Yara wished Jovi just trusted her, but she took another test for him as proof of her pregnancy.

Yara's at-home pregnancy test only showed one line instead of two, so Jovi wasn't convinced. Jovi accused Yara of lying to him, but Yara said the test was not an accurate one.

"I don't know what's wrong with this test, but I know that I am pregnant," Yara told the cameras.

Jovi asked Yara to take another test, but Yara kept repeating how she was not lying to him. Yara agreed to take another test, and the results showed that she was pregnant!

Jovi apologized to Yara for not believing her to begin with, and he gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"F-ck your pregnant! Alright, well this changes things a lot, I guess," Jovi said in a confessional, adding that he felt "terrible" for doubting Yara when she had just moved to a new country for him.

Jovi admitted he wasn't 100 percent ready but he would be 100 percent ready for Yara, who also wasn't ready.

"But what can I do? Nothing. It's in my stomach," Yara told her fiance.


STEPHANIE AND RYAN

Stephanie said it felt good to know Ryan wanted to work on their relationship but she still had a few things on her mind.

Stephanie said it had been 10 months since she last saw Ryan, and so she wanted to know why they didn't have sex the previous night. Ryan explained that they were both tired and Stephanie had complained of a stomach ache, but Stephanie still thought it was strange.

Stephanie confessed she would have liked "a quickie" bang for the purposes of bonding and she hadn't been expecting "a big magic show" or hour-long "session."

"It's always been four times a night, so I feel like there's something else [wrong]," Stephanie said.

Ryan assured Stephanie that everything was fine and there was no problem. He said Stephanie was stuck in her head.

"How many women have you slept with since I've been gone for 10 months?" Stephanie asked.

"None," Ryan replied. "Of course I'm horny as f-ck and I want to have sex, but I was just thinking about your well-being and that's it."

Ryan sensed all Stephanie wanted to do was fight and she had both negative thoughts and trust issues that continued to bother him. Ryan said he had been caught texting women three or four years ago, but Stephanie recalled events differently.

"Ryan, you were texting a girl saying, 'Hey, let's go to Cancun!' That's when I threw your phone across the room and said, 'Get the f-ck out,'" Stephanie told Ryan.

Stephanie then told the cameras, "We were done. It was the last straw. I had tolerated him and that bullsh-t for too long. So after that... [Ryan's cousin Harris] came that night and we slept together."

Stephanie then confessed to Ryan that she could only handle so much when the pair had fought and Harris comforted her and told her multiple times how beautiful she is.

"He called me every day... Harris is very bold, and you know that," Stephanie said.

"I said, 'I just threw Ryan out. I've had it this time.' And he said, 'Can I come see you?' I was crying so hard. It had been so long since you made me feel special. So I had him come and he spent the night with me that night."


ADVERTISEMENT


Stephanie broke down into tears, and Ryan admitted that he had already known about that.

Ryan called Harris an "assh-le" and said someone that worked at his hotel had seen Harris enter Stephanie's room. Ryan called Harris "a backstabber."

Stephanie said that night never would have happened had Ryan been loyal to her, but Ryan said she took things to another level -- which is something he had allegedly never done.

Ryan said he blamed both Stephanie and Harris for the mistake but it happened a long time ago and he had chosen to forgive Stephanie and stay with her.

"I forgive you, but I'll never forgive [Harris]... He is dead to me, and I mean that," Ryan explained.


ANDREW AND AMIRA

Amira was back in France and said she was supposed to be relaxing on the beach in Mexico with Andrew. She said she had barely talked to Andrew since her release from the detainment center because Andrew was "very busy" at the resort and enjoying his vacation.

Amira then FaceTimed with Andrew and said she couldn't sleep at night and felt some residual stress from her detainment in Mexico City.

While Andrew recognized Amira had been traumatized, he suggested they needed a new plan or else time was going to run out on Amira's K-1 visa.

Andrew said their options were to wait and see what happens or try to meet in Serbia. Andrew intended for Amira to quarantine in Serbia for 14 days and then travel to the United States, but this time, Andrew couldn't join Amira because he needed to return to work in America.

RELATED LINK: '90 DAY FIANCE: BEFORE THE 90 DAYS' COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER? WHO HAS SPLIT? WHERE ARE THEY NOW? (PHOTOS)

Andrew said Amira had to make a decision soon because she only had 30 days left on her visa.

Amira had trusted Andrew that everything was going to be okay, but that turned out to not be the case. Amira therefore didn't know what to do, and she had heard Serbia had many cases of coronavirus.


ADVERTISEMENT


Amira didn't want to go through a situation like Mexico City again, but she said in a confessional, "I don't want to lose Andrew -- if I don't say what he wants to hear."

Amira's friend Xavier later told Amira that her relationship wasn't good and she'd have to think about herself and make a decision that would benefit herself.

Xavier said he didn't like Andrew putting pressure on Amira, but she insisted it was her dream to go to America.

"The number of people around me that support my relationship with Andrew is close to zero right now. I love Andrew, but right now, I don't know what to do," Amira shared in a confessional.


REBECCA AND ZIED

Zied had been in the United States for a few days, and Rebecca said she needed to move their things from storage into the apartment. However, Rebecca was busy at work and wasn't sure she'd have the time to get everything done.

Rebecca also had yet to tell Zied that she once lived in the same apartment building with her ex-husband from Morocco. Rebecca, however, wasn't sure whether she was going to tell Zied at all.


Rebecca's good friend Melanie then showed up at the apartment to meet Zied in person. Melanie had once done a background check on Zied, so Zied was feeling uneasy about the meeting.

Melanie said she was prepared to "ask the hard questions," including what Zied did while Rebecca worked all day. Melanie said Zied could work in many different businesses nearby rather than sit at home all day, but Rebecca said he couldn't work until they filed for him to be a legal immigrant.

Melanie admitted there were similarities between Zied and Rebecca's ex who had crushed her heart, but Rebecca snapped that Zied is a different man and their relationship was totally different.

"Didn't you and your ex live right down the hall?" Melanie asked Rebecca.

"What?!" Zied asked in surprise.

Rebecca apologized to Zied and insisted their situation was different from what she had with her ex.

(ADVERTISEMENT)


"The same home. I hate this," Zied admitted. "She is my fiancee now. Of course that makes me jealous -- any man in the world [would be]. But I don't like to see Rebecca upset [and cry]."

Zied therefore comforted Rebecca, and Melanie insisted that she just wanted to see her friend happy and in a good place after she had gone through a brutal divorce.

Zied said he was tired of people talking about Rebecca's ex and comparing him to the ex. Zied told Melanie that he didn't care about Rebecca's Moroccan ex and the fact Rebecca had stayed with him in the same apartment building.

Rebecca asked Melanie to trust her, saying that Zied is a wonderful man. Melanie said she trusted Rebecca but her guard was up and that was all.

Rebecca said Melanie was borderline disrespectful to Zied but she was just thankful Zied had handled the situation so well.


Rebecca insisted she didn't have anything to prove to anyone except for her fiance, but Melanie -- a private investigator -- said she was going to continue looking for red flags and would need the full 90 days to come to a conclusion about Zied's intentions.

Rebecca said if her family and friends continued to treat Zied like her Moroccan ex, it would surely change their relationship dynamic at some point.


TARIK AND HAZEL

Tarik and Hazel learned their city had been shut down due to coronavirus and so the production team had to leave and return home. Production was therefore temporarily postponed.

Two weeks later, filming resumed and Tarik and Hazel were shown enjoying two glasses of wine at home while quarantining. The couple tried to make the best of the situation but appeared bored during the lockdown.

Hazel said she was no longer angry at Tarik for texting their ex Minty because he had promised he wouldn't do it again. Hazel therefore determined they were ready to find her a girlfriend, and so Tarik made Hazel a dating profile for a website.

(ADVERTISEMENT)


Tarik and Hazel looked through women's profiles together, and Tarik just hoped Hazel still considered marrying him the No. 1 priority.

Tarik said he wanted Hazel to feel like herself and live the life she wanted to, but Hazel had kept her bisexuality a secret from her parents since they allegedly wouldn't have been accepting of that. After all, Hazel said her parents disapproved of one of her sisters being bisexual.

"I want a sister, a best friend and a lover," Hazel shared.

Hazel told the cameras that she wanted to find a sexy, brown American woman to date, but Tarik wanted to set some rules first so no jealousy would ensue. Tarik just asked Hazel to hide her relationship with a woman from his daughter Auri, which Hazel understood.

"I really hope we can find a perfect girl that we both agree on. Having a girlfriend is always what I wanted, but my relationship with Tarik is more important. So I just hope it feels different from the last time with Minty," Hazel explained.

The couple then looked at women together and Tarik joked, "Come to mama and come to papa!"
