The third season of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days premiered in early August, and viewers were reacquainted with Darcey, a 44-year-old from Middletown, CT, who previously starred on the second season of Before the 90 Days with her now ex-boyfriend, Jesse Meester from Amsterdam.
Darcey and Jesse memorably had a toxic relationship that was on and off due to their constant bickering and fighting, but the mother of two told cameras she'd never let a man control her or be mean to her again.
Darcey claimed she was completely over Jesse and moved with a man whom she believed was more of a catch and treated her much better.
That man was Tom, a 39-year-old distributor for a sports fitness brand from United Kingdom.
In the premiere of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days' third season, Darcey revealed she was dating the handsome "jet-setter type" after connecting with him on Facebook a whopping four years ago.
The pair had actually planned to meet up four years ago but then Darcey met Jesse and decided to pursue a relationship with him instead. Tom therefore got pushed onto a back-burner, but now he's Darcey's priority.
Darcey insisted she was always loyal to Jesse but occasionally wondered about Tom in the back of her mind. It finally became time to see that through.
Darcey bragged about how Tom was kind and supportive, and she said their relationship blossomed over time as they talked more and got to know each other better over the phone and video chat.
Darcey gushed about being in love again, and she felt certain this time would be different considering her dynamic with Tom was healthy and positive.

Darcey's twin sister Stacey, however, was concerned Darcey was going to take things too fast and get hurt. She accused Darcey of having unrealistic expectations and Tom of not being ready to settle down, but Darcey just wanted everyone to be happy for her.
Darcey said she even had a beautiful ring to prove Tom cared about her, and she wore it on her left hand. (Jesse allegedly blasted her on social media for it being a fake engagement ring).
There were red flags, however, that maybe Darcey ignored. Tom didn't want to pick her up at the airport because she wouldn't have had time to freshen up, and he flirted with Darcey's pal on FaceTime when the girls went out drinking in the United States.
Darcey wondered how Tom acted when she wasn't around, but she knew she needed to have trust and not be insecure.
"I wouldn't be going to meet him if I didn't think he was ready to settle down... but with Jesse, I got taken advantage of, and I don't want that to happen ever again," Darcey said in a confessional.
She later said, "I hope Tom is who he says he is in person. I'll guard my heart a little bit, but at the same time, it's open for the real deal."
When Darcey arrived at the airport in London, a driver picked her up and she took 45 minutes to get ready in a bathroom. She changed her clothes, showered herself in perfume and picked out a sexy black outfit -- including a Gucci bodysuit and long suit jacket -- with thigh-high boots.

Fans then got to know more about Tom, who apparently was used to living the bachelor lifestyle and having many women.
But Tom claimed he was looking to settle down and progress a relationship past the bedroom, which was apparently unknown territory for him.
Tom said Darcey was romantic and could put a smile on his face in the darkest of days. He thought Darcey was an extremely attractive woman and said he couldn't take her eyes off her.
Tom was apparently a shoulder for Darcey to cry on after her relationship with Jesse failed, and Tom realized at the time he must really care for Darcey since he was willing to listen to her problems.
As a result, Tom didn't want to treat Darcey like a one-night stand, and so he booked a separate room for her at a hotel, where she'd spend her first night in London.
Tom's sister Emma then revealed Tom had walls up because he had been hurt badly before and he didn't seem ready to settle down.
Tom admitted to his sister Emma that Darcey loved him but it's a difficult thing to say back. Tom wouldn't even acknowledge Darcey was his girlfriend, saying they were just an "item" and "more than friends."
"I'm not really at the stage of thinking where I'm going to settle down, get married, have kids, and move to her country or have her move here. I'm at the point where I'm meeting someone I've been really good friends with and I'm going to see where it goes," Tom told Emma.
Tom said Darcey lived in "a bit of a fantasy" when it comes to romance and he didn't want to rush things.
"I want to take my time, and I hope she won't be upset by that," Tom said in a confessional.

Darcey and Tom finally met at a restaurant, and he thought she looked even more beautiful than her photos.

Tom wasn't sure Darcey was thrilled upon seeing him for the first time in person, but she assured him that he was even better than what she had expected.
Darcey said Tom wasn't exactly fit "like a gym boy," but that's not really what she wanted. She said he had the "it factor" with his handsome looks and good style.
But once Tom broke the news of Darcey having her own room, she was definitely surprised. After knowing each other for four years and flirting over the phone, she couldn't believe Tom didn't want to spend the night with her.
"Darcey is coming onto me very strong," Tom told the cameras.
Tom, however, said he was treating Darcey with respect and she would be able to decide if she wanted to invite him into her room to stay the night.
Darcey appreciated the fact Tom was acting like a gentleman, but she also wanted to feel like Tom was really into her -- and she wasn't quite sure about that. Darcey thought their relationship was on a different level and that maybe they weren't on the same page after all.
After dinner, Tom took Darcey to her Air BnB, and she insisted their chemistry was there.

When the pair arrived at the Air BnB, Darcey couldn't believe how nice the space was. Tom told Darcey she was beautiful, funny, attractive and had been choosing the wrong men. With that being said, she broke down into tears.
Darcey said she felt stronger than ever but never wanted a man to "chip away" at her again. Darcey cried about how nice it was to have Tom doting on her and pulling out her chair at dinner.
"I hope you don't feel like this every time I do something nice," Tom told Darcey in a rather surprising reaction.

"It's something I'm not used to. It's something I don't particularly find attractive. It's supposed to be a first-date scenario; it's supposed to be fun," Tom told the cameras.
Tom said Darcey wore her heart on her sleeve, which was different for him. But Darcey felt close to him and believed she could open up to him about anything.
Darcey told Tom that she didn't feel comfortable sleeping alone, and then she started to cry again. Tom therefore agreed he'd cuddle with Darcey and stay with her overnight. He felt like he was "babysitting."
"If it continues like this, it may not be the romantic getaway I thought it would be," Tom told the cameras.
When he brought in a couple of drinks to share with Darcey, she was already falling asleep in his bed.
When Darcey and Tom woke up together, she said they had just snuggled and fallen asleep together. But Tom had a different account of how the night went.

Tom said Darcey had too many drinks and was snoring in her sleep. In addition, he accused her of accidentally hitting him in the face during the night, causing his nose to bleed. Tom found Darcey "difficult to deal with" that night.
Darcey was a little embarrassed but glad at the same time Tom had put her to bed safe and sound.
Tom then planned a nice day for Darcey and himself, hoping they could start fresh and have a better day together. They took a romantic boat ride together, and Darcey felt like she was in a fairy tale. She loved seeing his side of the world.
Darcey said she could see herself moving to England and cried happy tears as a result, but Tom playfully begged her not to cry again.

"I've been seeing other women. But I told them I wouldn't be seeing them anymore," Tom said in a confessional. "I want to see where this goes with Darcey. I want to see if this love affair and romance, which it could be, could become something more of a long-term thing."
Darcey admitted it was "hurtful to hear" Tom had been seeing other women up to a week before her arrival. Tom suggested they were on a trial basis, and then Darcey acknowledged she had assumed "too much, too soon."
Darcey later asked Tom to change their original plans of sailing on a 60-foot yacht in Gran Canaria to traveling to Albania instead, where Stacey was staying with her boyfriend.

Darcey wanted to hear from Stacey that Tom was the right guy for her, and so Tom reluctantly but ultimately obliged.
After the couple played cricket together, Darcey said she was "ready for some passion." But Tom didn't seem ready. Darcey therefore began feeling insecure and wondered if she should pull back a bit.
Darcey admitted she was "falling in love" with Tom but something was "a little off." She knew he cared about her given he had agreed to go to Albania, but Darcey feared Tom was "holding something in."
Tom was more reserved in his behavior than Darcey and wondered if Darcey's over-the-top words were sincere and genuine. He wasn't used to women being so open and vulnerable, and so he almost seemed annoyed Darcey was so complimentary and excited about everything he was doing for her.
"There's a part of me that worries the sexual chemistry might not be there, but I hope there will be fireworks. I mean, I just want to feel his passion. I'm so ready for that," Darcey said in a confessional.
In the latest episode, Darcey said she and Tom had finally made love.
The couple agreed the night was romantic and Darcey noted it was "everlasting" and she was happy they had finally "sealed the deal."

Darcey said the night pushed them 10 steps in the right direction and it was "such a relief." She finally felt like they were on "the same page."

While shopping around town, the pair walked by a jewelry store and Darcey pointed out she likes white diamonds. Tom noted Darcey put a lot of pressure on getting engaged and wanting to be married, but he wanted to take his time with the relationship to make sure she's The One.
Tom simply didn't want to rush into anything, and he warned Darcey he wouldn't be getting down on one knee "now." Darcey seemed to understand, but she told the cameras maybe she could change his mind because Tom seemed to be falling for her as well.
Tom then brought Darcey out to a club, where she met a couple of girls who happened to be Tom's good friends. However, had dated one of the women named Roucelle for three or four months.
Darcey thought it was "a little odd" he had invited an ex-girlfriend to come out with them, but Darcey intended to be nice and hoped his friends would accept her.
Tom told the cameras Roucelle didn't have much of a filter, so he didn't know what to expect or how the night would go. Tom wouldn't even tell his friends that he and Darcey were exclusive or boyfriend/girlfriend.
Roucelle admitted during the gathering Tom could be "quite disconnected with his emotions sometimes." She warned Darcey that Tom tended to disappear and close himself off.
Darcey told Roucelle that she wanted to dig deeper and establish more of a connection, but Roucelle pointed out that was going to be difficult.
Tom admitted he had walls up and was guarded because he had been engaged twice before, and both times, the women left him.
"Maybe I can't commit because of the way things were in the past," Tom said in a confessional.

Roucelle thought Darcey seemed "really nice," but she told Tom that she couldn't picture them together once Darcey left the table to go to the bathroom.
Tom couldn't admit he was in love, and Roucelle insisted Tom wasn't "emotionally capable" of feeling that way or embracing his emotions.
So did Tom end up falling for Darcey? Are Tom and Darcey still together?
A season preview for a future episode showed Darcey saying she loved Tom when he was standing right next to her, but he said nothing in reply.However, Darcey said she was still in a relationship with Tom and they were happy during an early August interview with Newsweek.
"We're very good. We're very happy. Things have been amazing and some people might see it that way and some people might see it a different way," Darcey said.
"You'll have to go through the journey along with us."
Darcey added in her interview that Tom is "an amazing guy" and "a great guy."
"We have a really deep connection and have a lot in common... I love his voice. It's very sexy, very James Bond," she said.

Darcey also explained it's a positive Tom is closer to her own age than Jesse was when they dated.
"He's older. He's lived life. He's a jetsetter. He owns his own company. He's very experienced in life and he elevates me. I never feel put down," Darcey shared with Newsweek.

But Darcey's social media currently gives little indication she and Tom are still dating.
Darcey had posted a few photos of Tom over the last two months, but they've all since been deleted!
On September 4, Darcey posted a photo of Tom and captioned it, "Living legend! With my heart wide open and all love. My rock! Perfect gentleman with a heart of gold!"
And in mid-August, Darcey shared a photo on Instagram of Tom taking a selfie and poked fun at his 45-degree angle handsome look.
"Keep your eyes on the prize," she wrote.
Darcey also deleted a photo she had of Tom's dating-app profile that she had captioned with a heart.
There have also been no signs Darcey has left the United States since January, when she posted a close-up photo of Tom carrying her and her designer boots across a cobblestone street while she was visiting the U.K.
"Getting carried away in London," Darcey captioned the image, which did not reveal Tom's face at the time.
