[90 Day Fiance Spoiler Warning: This report reveals if Ella and Johnny are still together or split up since viewers last saw them and where their relationship stands now].
Ella, a 29-year-old from Idaho -- who is "super into Asian culture," Cosplay and fantasy -- said she's always struggled with being overweight and had been in unhealthy relationships due to her need to get attention from men.

Since she hadn't found much luck dating in Idaho, Ella decided to start looking for her fantasy on international dating apps and websites.
"I found a social media page called 'Asian men, white women," and that is where I found my Asian prince," Ella revealed. "Johnny is from China. He is 34 years old. He has an amazing smile and his eyes are just perfect."
Ella added that she and Johnny surprisingly had a lot in common.
"I am this western girl who has this Asian obsession and he's kind of like this Asian man who has a western-culture obsession, and we both love anime," Ella said.
The pair had officially become girlfriend and boyfriend about six months prior to the start of taping 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days. However, they had been talking for a year-and-a-half and had been communicating every single day.
Ella wanted to spend her life with Johnny, who had told Ella that he'd like to buy a big house and welcome children together.
But due to the coronavirus pandemic and government restrictions, Ella could not travel to China. Johnny therefore applied for a travel visa to visit Ella in Idaho, and she gushed about being "so friggin' excited" to be together in-person.
Johnny apparently planned to help Ella lose weight by cooking her meals and being supportive, but Ella's mother Debbie didn't want Johnny to take advantage of her daughter.

"I'm just afraid that Johnny wants a green card just to get here someday, and then once he gets here and he knows he cannot be deported, that he leaves her," Debbie lamented, adding that it was hard to trust this would be "the real thing" for Ella.

Johnny is divorced and Stony apparently lives with his grandparents so that Johnny can travel for his job. Johnny, who has full custody, saw his kid a couple times a month, and Stony's mother had started a whole new family.
"I'm excited to be a mom, but we're going to focus on us for a while. And then once we establish a good foundation, then hopefully we'll get to bring Stony over [to the U.S.]," Ella explained to her girlfriends while out to lunch.
Ella had previously been invested in an Indian man online, whom she had met in Thailand.
"I was in love with this guy, but then when we met in person, he refused to do anything sexual with me. And I really think it was because of my weight. It definitely took a toll on my self-esteem, and it's really hard for me to think about," Ella said.
Ella called her Indian ex "a mistake" and didn't fully trust Johnny yet as a result. She wasn't sure if Johnny would still be attracted to her in-person, and she admitted she probably wouldn't be able to recover from another heartbreaking rejection.

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

But 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.
Johnny said he'd be willing to quit his job as an electrical car manufacturer and stop renting his place in Shanghai because Ella had gotten him through his "darkest days."
Johnny therefore revealed he wanted to apply for a Singapore visa, where he would quarantine for two weeks before entering the United States. He intended to propose marriage to Ella by the end of his trip.
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.
Johnny's Singapore visa was then denied, and so Ella decided she and Johnny should meet up in Dubai since he wouldn't need a visa to travel there.
Johnny initially agreed to Dubai, but when the trip got closer, he started to second guess his decision.
"Every time, a new issue comes up, and it's getting a little on the ridiculous side of how much crap I've had to put up with," Ella lamented.

Ella said she was tired of Johnny's excuses and having to wait for him, especially since he was vaccinated and had bought an entire safety suit for his travels.
Over FaceTime, Johnny pointed out to Ella how his medical bills would be very expensive if he needed to be hospitalized in the United States, but Ella said the situation wasn't risky enough for Johnny to cancel their plans.
Johnny's parents were concerned about him traveling, and he told the cameras that if he got sick, he would be unable to provide for his family.

"This is on you. I am not going to change my opinion. I want you here now. That is where I stand -- no exceptions," Ella told her boyfriend.
Ella told the cameras that she felt "enraged and super devastated" and if Johnny wasn't willing to commit to her, she'd have to stop waiting and move on.
"Johnny means the absolute world to me. I need to touch him, I need to kiss him, I need to see for sure what's going to happen when we're together," Ella explained in a confessional.
But Johnny ultimately decided he couldn't meet her in Dubai because if he got sick, he'd have to quarantine for five weeks before being able to return to China.
Johnny asked Ella to wait until February, which was asking Ella to wait another seven months to meet him, which left her feeling shocked and devastated.
"I hope she doesn't think I have less love for her because I am more cautious," Johnny shared in a confessional.

Ella then admitted to Johnny that she had cuddled with a close guy friend and they ended up having sex. Ella said the event just happened because she was feeling "so distraught and so upset" about Johnny's "wishy-washy" behavior.
Ella said some of her self-worth was tied up in receiving physical attention from men and it had been really hard to be alone for a year-and-a-half. She called it "a weak moment" but told the cameras how she'd rather be honest than be a liar.
Johnny admitted it was really hard to hear this news, but Ella insisted, "I still love you."
Johnny claimed he wasn't mad because their relationship was complicated and he hadn't fulfilled his end of things. Johnny therefore planned to meet her in February and fix their relationship.

Johnny promised he'd fly to see her in February even if the world is on fire or he must fly through a tornado, but Ella didn't really believe him.
Ella cried and said she felt really bad about hurting Johnny but physical touch is so important to her.
"I want my person and I think he's my person, so I think I'm just going to have to wait," Ella lamented in tears. "I don't think that my heart will let me rest if I don't give this last chance."
So are Ella and Johnny still together now or has the 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days couple broken up?
Johnny took to social media in mid-March and suggested he and Ella are still an item and going strong, even though they continue to date long distance.
Johnny called himself "wrong" for pushing back all of his trips to meet Ella.
"I know I [left] her heartbroken. And she is very young, age 28, a girl's valuable age and... [it's] hard to fly in and out of China," Johnny wrote.

Johnny suggested Ella's choice to sleep with another man was not a dealbreaker for him.
"I agreed to have open relationship. I told her if someone is better than me I will and must let her go. It is unfair to just let her waiting hopeless and also without clear timeline, it is a cruel thing i aware it," he concluded.
And on March 14, Johnny wrote to Ella on Instagram, "I wanna say I still have confidence in you and love you."
Johnny repeated how it was wrong of him to delay their meeting and he takes "90 percent responsibility for what happened."

"Those are flights information from LA to Shanghai City in whole June and July without ticket until in August with 3 flights but each ticket price over 10000 bucks."
It therefore appears Ella and Johnny are still waiting for their first in-person meeting.
While Ella hasn't written anything about Johnny in the last month on her own Instagram account, Johnny has gushed about Ella on more than one occasion.

"I do not know much about western women but I believe most of people are good," Johnny said, defending his girlfriend against haters.
Johnny said he had delayed Ella two years and so he does "not blame her too much" for being with another guy.
"I just wish pandemic never happened then things will not so hard," Johnny lamented.
One of Johnny's followers, however, wrote how he deserves better than an unfaithful woman.
"I did not watch that part, that gonna be painful to watch it," Johnny wrote in his Instagram comments.
"Thanks for your encourage and support, I keep delayed many times did not dare to step forward we both must learn from our mistakes... I think both of us need to be brave and more grow up."
And Ella and Johnny were definitely still a couple in February.
