And after going through a difficult divorce, Ariela said she wanted to get to know herself better and see the world -- so she booked a cheap trip to Ethiopia and met Biniyam while she was waiting for a taxi outside of her hotel.

Biniyam, nicknamed "Baby" at 31 years old, is a dancer, choreographer, martial artist and gymnast from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

"After dating for three months, I got some unexpected news. I found out I was pregnant," Ariela revealed, adding that she was scared and returned to America for prenatal care.

Ariela, however, eventually moved back to Ethiopia so she could live with her boyfriend permanently and raise their son together.

Ariela said waiting on Biniyam's K-1 visa would take too long, and she was six months pregnant when filming the show.

But Ariela had her concerns about their language, different culture and the hospital where she intended to deliver her son.

Ariela's family was also worried Biniyam was after a Green Card since he had been married to an American woman before and the pair also welcomed a son together who recently turned three years old. The woman and their son moved back to the U.S., leaving Biniyam behind.

Biniyam said he was married to the previous American woman for four years but he was only with her for "six to eight months."

Ariela and Biniyam also follow different religions, with Ariela being raised Jewish and Biniyam being an Ethiopian-Orthodox Christian.

When Ariela met Biniyam, he was living with his brother and sister-in-law in a one-bedroom house. His siblings apparently took care of him since he was the youngest in the family.

Ariela had high expectations when she moved to Ethiopia, and she was terribly disappointed by the dirty and moldy apartment Biniyam had found for them.

It took time for Ariela and Biniyam to find a suitable apartment in Ariela's mind because she required running water and electricity, but Ariela's mother actually approved of the hospital Ariela would be delivering her baby in.

"I'm not looking forward to being alone with you. I am not happy about it," Ariela confessed to Biniyam in tears. "I am not happy about it... I don't want to hurt your feelings, but I feel like you don't know me at all or understand me."

"It'll be okay. I love you. I want to make family with you. I want to be a good father, I promise. But don't leave me," Biniyam begged his girlfriend.

Ariela ultimately decided she really wanted to make her marriage work and loved Biniyam, even though she knew they'd struggle financially without a car or financial stability in Ethiopia.

Ariela later welcomed a son after an emergency C-section and she named him Aviel Biniyam Shibre.

Despite her initial opposition, Ariela came around to the idea of baptizing her son in Biniyam's faith in order to show her love and willingness to compromise. She also reluctantly allowed him to be circumcised, as Biniyam asked his girlfriend to trust him.

Ariela and Biniyam continued to struggle with trust issues, and Ariela hated how Biniyam seemed to work "nonstop" as well as late nights.

"I do trust him in a lot of ways, but I think as human beings, there is always temptation to cheat," Ariela told the cameras.

"People are weak and stupid, and I'm no exception. And I hate to say it, but [Biniyam] is no exception. We make mistakes, and I don't want some dumb mistake to affect us forever."


Ariela said a woman had called Biniyam and when Ariela called her back on the phone, the woman hung up when she heard English being spoken. Ariela wondered if Biniyam was lying and cheating on her, but Biniyam said, "I have no idea what you are talking about."

Ariela never considered herself a jealous person before, but she said Biniyam pushed her to the limits sometimes.

"He's always kind of portraying me as the bad one and I'm a b-tch, but he doesn't tell me anything and we're not communicating. We are more like roommates with a baby," Ariela explained in a confessional.

Ariela's parents were concerned about Ariela's living conditions and the lack of support she had from family and friends in Ethiopia, so they asked Biniyam to get a more stable-paying job.

"Am I making the right decision about where to live? I don't know, but I definitely want Avi to be with his father. That's no question," Ariela said in a confessional.

"Things are not going to be easy, but when you love someone, you try to work through the hard stuff. This is the decision I have made, and I'm sticking to it."

Ariela and Biniyam later got engaged while attending a celebration for the baptism of Jesus Christ, which is a holiday in Ethiopia.

Ariela realized in that moment how much she loved Biniyam even though they fought pretty frequently.

Ariela then hired a nanny, Mimi, and she and Biniyam had moved into a three-bedroom house together. Ariela gushed about child-help being only $200 a month, but Biniyam hadn't been working much due to COVID-19.

Although Ariela was happy for the most part in Ethiopia, she missed having deep relationships.

Ariela therefore asked her ex-husband Leandro to visit her in Ethiopia, both so she could have a friend and her fiancee could meet her best friend from the U.S.


Ariela could tell Biniyam felt "a little macho and territorial" about her and probably wouldn't like the idea. She wasn't sure if they'd get along.

Ariela had met Leandro when she studied in Argentina at age 19. They got married after six months together and then she brought him to the United States on a spousal visa.

Ariela said she and Leandro were married for 10 years but she wanted to travel more and Leandro wanted to focus on earning his doctorate. The former spouses therefore broke up but decided to stay best friends.

Biniyam said he didn't want to lose another child and another marriage, and he planned to protect his marriage.

Ariela compared her relationship with Leandro to a brother and sister, but Biniyam was admittedly very suspicious of the pair's connection.

When Ariela reunited with Leandro, she admitted she was feeling upset and regret over the way her relationship with Leandro had abruptly ended.

Ariela felt bad and "emotional" about the way she had left Leandro in Indiana without closure or a good explanation in order to travel the world and have more experiences. Ariela put traveling and adventure before marriage and her future with Leandro.

"I always knew you and me were going to end up together, you know? I never actually felt like we broke up," Ariela told her ex-husband.

Leandro admitted he was surprised when Ariela had left him and he questioned if the move was just temporary, but during their split, Ariela began dating Biniyam and got pregnant, which resulted in the end of Ariela and Leandro's story.

"It's just weird. Having you here is bringing up a lot of emotions that I otherwise didn't expect to feel," Ariela confessed.

"Yeah," Leandro agreed. "I feel the same."

Biniyam said he wasn't comfortable with Leandro in Ethiopia, but he brought Ariela's ex to his gym so they could speak man-to-man and do a little boxing.

"I think Leandro still has feelings for Ari. He wouldn't come here if he didn't," Biniyam explained to the cameras, adding that Ari never told him she and Leandro had stayed in the same apartment in New Jersey while Ari was pregnant.

Biniyam and Leandro's fighting started off innocent and playful, but then suddenly Biniyam grabbed Leandro, wrestled him to the ground and put him in a headlock. Leandro even had to tap out -- twice!

Leandro then revealed to Biniyam he had traveled to Ethiopia because Ari "begged" him to come. Leandro said Ari had been feeling lonely and homesick.

Biniyam asked Leandro if he still had feelings for Ari, and Leandro said it's hard to shut off feelings just because a relationship ends. Leandro said he cared about Ari and just wanted to make sure she's happy and doing well in Ethiopia.

Biniyam then flat out asked Leandro if he and Ari had sex while they were staying in the same apartment in New Jersey. Leandro replied, "Don't worry. You don't have anything to worry about."

But Leandro appeared nervous when answering that question, and Biniyam said he didn't trust him.

Biniyam and Leandro arrived back home hours later, and Ariela seemed upset about Biniyam having asked her ex such personal questions.

"It's so rude and demeaning to me because it means he doesn't trust me," Ariela told the cameras.

Ariela said she wished Biniyam would focus on their relationship and their wedding planning instead of the past and what may or may not have happened in New Jersey when Ariela was five months pregnant with their son.

The trio later went out for lunch, and Biniyam invited his dance partner and ex-girlfriend to join them. Ariela said Biniyam was just trying to get back at her for welcoming Leandro into their home.

The two couples, including Biniyam's ex Tsion, then gathered together, and Leandro told the cameras how Tsion is "gorgeous" and "extremely beautiful." She also called Leandro "cute."

Leandro asked Tsion and Biniyam why they ever broke up when they continue to work so closely together, and Tsion suggested it was because she thinks Biniyam had cheated on her with "the American," meaning Biniyam's ex-wife with whom he had welcomed a child.

Biniyam said he and Tsion went almost two months without talking and then he started a relationship with his ex-wife, which ended up being a problem for Tsion.

"We were going to a show for work and you were holding her hand," Tsion revealed, explaining how she felt Biniyam had dumped her for another.

At the time, Biniyam told Tsion that he was just doing casting for a movie, and Ariela called Biniyam "so full of sh-t."

Tsion said she never thought she and Biniyam would break up and she "didn't want to accept the truth," adding how Biniyam quickly moved on and suddenly got married.

But Biniyam insisted he had never cheated on Tsion and they were separated when he got involved with an American woman. He called Tsion "extremely jealous" and said it just upset her to see him move on so quickly.

Tsion, however, assured Ariela that she should feel confident in her love for Biniyam.

Ariela said it was hypocritical of Biniyam to question her past with Leandro when he had made serious mistakes in his past. Ariela said the revelation had only made things worse for their already-complicated relationship.


So are Ariela and Biniyam still together or has the 90 Day Fiance couple split up?

Biniyam posted a fan's illustration September 15 on Instagram of Ariela and himself as Simpson characters hugging each other. Biniyam called the picture "awesome" and said he loved it, which suggests he and Ariela are still a happy couple.

And on August 21, Ariela posted a video of Biniyam and herself playing "The Newly Engaged Game" with Us Weekly, showing they're an item.

Ariela gushed about Biniyam being the more romantic one in their relationship, and one day earlier, she posted a portrait of herself in Ethiopia, which suggests she's still living there with Biniyam.

Ariela also posted a photo of herself in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, saying she was at one of her and Biniyam's favorite restaurants.

The couple, however, couldn't seem to agree on wedding plans in a joint interview with Us.

Ariela shared how she and her fiance have yet to set a wedding date or even agree on a time of year in which to marry.

"It remains to be seen," Ariela admitted. "I'll leave that one on a cliffhanger."

Ariela explained how she and Biniyam have "taken time" with their engagement.

"A lot of people get engaged and they get married right away. I think... one of my concerns is and points [of contention] is that Bini is a party person. He likes a big wedding, a big party and, you know, he likes to go all out," Ariela explained.

Biniyam, however, said "it's not about partying" for him when it comes to saying, "I do."

"In my culture, if you have to do a wedding, you have a big wedding. Like, your father's side, your mother's. That's the culture I'm used to, that's how I grew up," Biniyam said.

Ariela, on the other hand, told the magazine that she envisions a small wedding, maybe at the beach.

"I don't know. I don't want a big wedding, and so I don't know how we're going to work that one out," Ariela acknowledged.

Ariela and Biniyam also haven't even decided on which country their wedding will take place in.

"It would be great if my family could attend the wedding," Ariela said. "I think it would be hard to get the whole family shipped out to Ethiopia."

But Biniyam said he would "definitely" like to get married in Ethiopia.

"I'd like a big wedding in my country. I'd like to show her what a typical Ethiopian wedding looks like," Biniyam told the magazine.

"My father's side is very funny. My mother says it's a different culture [with] a wedding ceremony. I want to show her -- for Avi, for Avi's family... what a traditional Ethiopian wedding looks like."

Biniyam also reasoned how it would be hard to fly his whole family to the United States for their wedding.

"We have kind of a situation," noted Biniyam, who appears to struggle financially in Ethiopia.

Ariela therefore determined, "I think maybe we've got to talk about this one, because that sounds like a lot."

On the topic of Ariela's ex-husband Leandro, Ariela insisted to Us, "He's really involved in my life. He still talks to my family and he's involved in family holidays and stuff. He's my friend, and I wanted him to come out [to Africa] as a friend... I'm sure it's going to be a really interesting season."

But Biniyam gushed about being happy with Ariela on his own Instagram account on August 1.

In addition to uploading several family photos and videos, Biniyam wrote, "I'm so lucky god he give me this amazing family. We love like crazy. Every day is an adventure when we are together."

And he posted a beautiful photo of Ariela and himself writing "love" as the sweet and simple caption.

On July 10, Ariela captioned photos of herself wearing traditional dress in Ethiopia and "making a coffee ceremony."

"I have loved Ethiopia since I visited for the first time in 2017 before I ever met Biniyam. I love the people, the culture, the food, the landscape, and the history it provides. Ethiopia gave me my family and my son. It gave me my best friend and the beautiful life I have now," Ariela gushed.

She also shared a cute picture of herself hugging Biniyam and wrote alongside it, "Hiking and hugs are the best. #iloveyou."

Ariela has also posted recent photos of her son "in the Ethiopian countryside" with her and videos of Biniyam busting a move.

Ariela wrote to Biniyam in a sweet Father's Day message in June, "Happy Father's Day! Seeing you love and care for Avi makes my whole life."

"I know you love him more than anything," she continued. "Waking up to him and you every day is the most comfortable feeling in the world. I love you both. Thanks for making this family with me. #happyfathersday #90dayfiance #myfamily #usthree #arielaandbiniyam."

On May 11, Biniyam posted a photo with Ariela on a jetski.

"More adventures with you my love. Diving, skydiving, skiing, snowboarding, rock climbing, repelling, zip lining, surfing, hiking, camping, and everything with you," he captioned the slideshow.

And Ariela wrote Biniyam a beautiful message for his birthday in early April.

"We love you and wish you happiness and peace. This year is going to bring with it amazing possibilities and opportunities. I can't wait to see what you will do with all your potential and G-d given talents. Thank you for letting me be a part of your corner of the universe," Ariela wrote on Instagram.

"You've taught me so much and I hope you can say the same about me. We are family forever, bonded together by our sweetest boy and our incredible shared experiences. It was no accident we met on the street that day. I never expected to take this journey with you! Look how far we've both come! Can't wait to cuddle with you and Avi in a few!"
