The third season of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days debuted on August 4, 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 is 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, but she felt certain this time would be different considering her dynamic with Tom was healthy and positive.

"With Jesse, it felt like a false love, but I feel Tom is the right one for me," Darcey told the cameras.
Darcey's twin sister Stacey was concerned Darcey was going to take things a little too fast and she had unrealistic expectations, but Darcey wanted everyone to be happy for her, assuming this was her time for love.
Darcey said the "torment" from her last relationship with Jesse had made her stronger and she wasn't going to "be stupid this time around." Darcey claimed Tom was her "rock" and another man would never bring her down again.
But there seemed to be a red flag when Tom told Darcey that he'd send a driver to the airport to pick her up instead of greeting her himself. Tom said it would have been a while since she brushed her teeth and he'd like her to freshen up a bit.
But Darcey spun that into a romantic gesture, saying she liked the idea and thought it would be even more romantic to be driven to Tom for an exciting meeting.
Darcey then revealed Tom had purchased her a beautiful ring that she sometimes wore on her left hand's ring finger.

Darcey apparently posted a photo of the ring on social media once and Jesse blasted her engagement and romance as being fake, but she felt certain Tom was everything she wanted and a marriage proposal would be the next step for the both of them.

Darcey was shown enjoying a girls' night out with her sister Stacey and another pal before leaving the country, and she was extremely happy she could be herself and have some drinks without being labeled an alcoholic. (She claimed Jesse had accused her of being one when they were together).
Darcey FaceTimed Tom during their outing and he revealed his friend had a 60-foot yacht in Gran Canaria, which is an island off the coast of northwest Africa, where he'd like to take her for a vacation. Darcey wondered if Tom intended to pop the question once there.
Darcey's friend thought Tom was hot, and Darcey didn't really like how flirtatious Tom seemed over the phone. Tom once commented on the woman's breasts, but Darcey didn't want to pick a fight and come across angry or desperate.
"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.
Darcey looked forward to spending two weeks with Tom, but she admitted it "stung" a little bit to watch Tom flirt with her friend. She wondered how Tom acted when she wasn't around, but Darcey knew she had to have trust.

Stacey, however, said Darcey lived in the moment and was ignoring red flags. Stacey wasn't sure Tom was ready to be in a committed relationship, especially because he had informed Darcey he could do and say whatever he wanted and Darcey couldn't control him.
When Darcey told Tom his flirtation bothered her a little bit and made her uncomfortable, he apparently ignored her.
However, the couple made up and were both looking forward to seeing each other. Darcey didn't want to feel insecure and hoped Tom would see and get to know the strong and independent woman she had become.
Darcey then revealed Jesse had called her at 3AM but she didn't answer. Darcey said Jesse only contacted her to antagonize her and their dynamic was "draining."
"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," Darcey told the cameras.
Darcey later headed to the airport to travel to London, England in order to meet Tom, and she hoped their time together would end with a marriage proposal. She wanted the day to be "the most perfect day ever" for them both.

Darcey then got ready for 45 minutes in an airport 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.

Darcey was hoping Tom would treat her with respect and dote on her, which were things she was not used to in her previous relationship. She was looking forward to Tom making her feel like a woman, like she actually deserved the love he had to offer.
Darcey was feeling excited and anxious when she was only minutes away from meeting Tom face to face.
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.
But Darcey admitted Tom "looked a little different" than his photos but she was more interested in what he had to offer on the inside rather than the outside.
The couple celebrated their official meeting over champagne. 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, and I'm kind of still gauging where I want them to be," 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.

During the latest episode of the series, Darcey was so excited to have finally met the man she had dreamed about for four years. 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.
He then told the cameras Darcey is "a very emotional person."
"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.

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.
Over a glass of champagne, Darcey then asked Tom where they stood in their relationship. She felt they had been dating for four years, but Tom said this was only their second date. He would not confirm they were even exclusive to Darcey.
"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."
So did Darcey and Tom come to have a serious relationship? Are they still together?
A season preview that aired at the conclusion of the debut episode of the new season of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days showed Tom complaining about how emotional Darcey tended to be.Footage also captured 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 are happy during a recent interview with Newsweek.

"You'll have to go through the journey along with us."

Darcey's social media gives little indication she and Tom are still dating given the majority of photos are just of herself, but she did post two photos suggesting their relationship is still going as of August.
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.
And a few weeks earlier, Darcey posted a photo of her dating-app profile, along with Tom's, and captioned it with a heart.
There are also no signs, however, 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.
During her interview with Newsweek, Darcey also gushed about Tom as a partner.
"He's an amazing guy," Darcey said. "He's always been 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."
Darcey explained it's a positive Tom is closer to her own age than Jesse.

"It was something I had to explore because maybe he could be the one so I decided to do that journey again. I don't regret it."
