Viewers have followed Chantel and Pedro's relationship for quite some time on reality television.
Before starring on the new season of the 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, the couple appeared on Season 4 of the original TLC series 90 Day Fiance as well as Seasons 2 and 3 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?.
The third season of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? finished airing on TLC in July 2018.
Chantel was a 25-year-old from Atlanta, GA and Pedro was a 24-year-old from the Dominican Republic when he arrived in America on a K-1 visa.
Chantel and Pedro's love story began over four years ago, when the pair met online.
Chantel was looking for a Spanish teacher and she was introduced to Pedro by a mutual friend, but what began as a relationship for educational purposes quickly blossomed into a mutual crush.
Chantel decided to pursue a romance with Pedro by traveling to the Dominican Republic to visit him, and Pedro eventually proposed marriage during one of her several visits.
Pedro later arrived in America on his K-1 marriage visa, but Chantel opted to lie to her family and tell them his visit to the United States was on a student visa -- kicking off a series of major relationship ups and downs involving both trust issues and their outspoken and stubborn family members.

Despite her family's concerns that Pedro was only interested in marrying Chantel to be able to live in the United States and benefit financially from their marriage, the couple still wed before Pedro's K-1 visa expired.

For instance, Chantel's family forced Chantel and Pedro to sign a prenuptial agreement to protect Chantel's financial interests before their wedding, and then still only attended the couple's wedding reluctantly.
In addition, after the couple wed, Chantel's parents also hired a private investigator to research Pedro's family background and see if he had a wife, children or any other unknown secrets back in the Dominican.
As fans may recall, Season 3 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? concluded with Pedro getting into a blowout fight with Chantel's family, especially her brother River, that turned physical.
Pedro was shown running around the dinner table to attack River after tempers flared at a tense family dinner, but Pedro insisted he didn't start the drama and was a victim in the situation.
Chantel revealed on the season's subsequent Tell-All special she was not ready to try for a baby and expand their family due to all the chaos.

Chantel was still angry with Pedro and said she couldn't imagine welcoming children with a man her family didn't respect and basically couldn't stand -- and vice versa.

So did Chantel and Pedro survive all the drama? Are they still together and married?!
It is apparent Chantel and Pedro are, in fact, still together and remain husband and wife.Chantel and Pedro are secretive about their relationship and largely refrain from posting photos and updates of themselves together on social media -- presumably due to their contracts with TLC -- but it seems pretty clear their hasn't ended because their time on reality TV won't end with Season 4 of the Happily Ever After? series.
In April, TLC announced Chantel and Pedro will star in a new 90 Day Fiance spinoff called The Family Chantel that will air on Monday nights beginning in July 2019.
The Family Chantel will star Pedro, Chantel and their lively in-laws -- Chantel's parents Karen and Thomas as well as Pedro's mother Lidia -- and their siblings.
"Viewers will follow this unique modern family as they try to move past their differences and come together as an extended family, but as Chantel's parents Karen and Thomas try to protect their brood, will they push their children too far?" TLC teased in a press release announcing the new show.
"This is an awesome moment for TLC, as we create a family show based on one of our most popular 90 Day couples, and on a whole new night," TLC executive Howard Lee added.

"Our fans can't get enough of Pedro, Chantel and their larger-than-life families. For a brand known as the destination for love, relationships and family shows, The Family Chantel hits the bullseye."
If Chantel and Pedro weren't together anymore, it's very unlikely TLC would continue their story via The Family Chantel.
