[90 Day Fiance Spoiler Warning: This report contains spoilers that reveal the status of Hazel and Tarik's relationship and if they're still together or have broken up.]

The pair dated for only three months before Tarik traveled over 9,000 miles and 36 hours to meet Hazel in-person in the Philippines on 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days' second season.
Tarik's family and friends worried Hazel -- who lived in the poorest of conditions in the Philippines -- was after a Green Card, money and a better life, but Tarik determined for himself that Hazel liked him for the right reasons and he wanted to marry her.
Once the couple got engaged and Tarik returned to the U.S., he filed for Hazel's K-1 visa and she agreed to sign a prenuptial agreement.
At the time 90 Day Fiance's eighth season filmed, Tarik and Hazel had been together for two years and Hazel finally got approved for a K-1 visa.
Hazel hoped to one day bring her eight-year-old son Harrey to America, but in the meantime, she bonded with Tarik's daughter Auri, who has high-functioning autism, in America. Auri seemed to fill a void for Hazel.
But Hazel and Tarik's romance wasn't perfect once Hazel was trying to adjust to life in a new country. Hazel, for instance, discovered a message on Tarik's phone to Minty from Thailand.
Tarik had dated Minty when he and Hazel were on a break, and then once Tarik and Hazel got back together, the couple decided to invite Minty into their relationship as a love triangle.
After just three days, however, Hazel dumped Minty because she thought Tarik liked her too much. Hazel was admittedly jealous of Tarik and Minty's connection.

Tarik promised Hazel that he wouldn't contact Minty again, but Tarik later suggested they should ask Minty for advice on what type of woman they should be looking for as Hazel's American girlfriend.

In May 2020, Hazel agreed to videochat with Minty, but only because she wanted to watch her interact with Tarik.
"I am attracted to Tarik very much," Minty told the cameras. "If Tarik not engaged to Hazel, I think me and him would be together."
Hazel became very jealous and angry at Tarik, who was afraid Hazel was going to refuse to marry him.
When the couple's wedding was only two weeks away, Hazel still wasn't sure whether she could trust Tarik 100 percent -- and so she was feeling "uncomfortable."
Tarik was then shown shopping for wedding attire, and he revealed his wedding date was June 7, 2020. Tarik told his friend that he didn't have cold feet but he and Hazel had been arguing a lot.
When a friend asked if he had any lingering feelings for Minty, Tarik hesitated at first and replied, "Umm, no... She's not [in my life anymore]."

In May 2020, Tarik and Hazel only had seven days left to wed. During an outing with Tarik's friend Angela, Hazel revealed Tarik had contacted another girl, not Minty this time, which made her really upset.
"Just because I am bisexual, it doesn't mean Tarik is allowed to talk to any girls he wants. I still want to find a girlfriend, but I have to choose the girl, not Tarik," Hazel explained.
In June 2020, Tarik dressed in his powder-blue suit and tried to make it up to Hazel.
Tarik decorated the house with rose petals and candles and admitted he had disregarded Hazel's feelings about other women and there was "no excuse for that."
Tarik apologized to his fiancee and promised that no one would ever come before her and he wanted to start over.
Tarik then got down on one knee and proposed marriage to Hazel again under the new circumstances of their relationship.
Hazel apparently felt so much better and concluded, "I can say I am ready to marry you."
Hazel later came out as bisexual to her parents in the Philippines and enjoyed her bachelorette party at which Tarik surprised her with a female exotic dancer.

Hazel giggled about how lucky she was to have met Tarik. She said her life was happier than ever before.
On Tarik and Hazel's wedding day, Tarik said he was nervous and excited. Tarik was able to book his wedding at the spiritual center where he always wanted to get married because they had just opened up again amid coronavirus pandemic.
Although Hazel wanted to get married in a church, Tarik said the churches in his area weren't open.

Tarik's older brother Dwain drove from Salt Lake City, UT, to attend the wedding, which apparently filled a void for Tarik, who didn't want to risk his mother coming due to COVID-19.
Tarik also said his relationship with his brother Dean was "dead" at the time.
As Hazel walked down the aisle on her wedding day, Tarik teared up and told the cameras, "Hazel looks like an angel. It's hard to feel like I deserve her."
Hazel also said Tarik looked handsome and she was thrilled to marry the man she loved.
Tarik cried during his vows and told Hazel that he found her shortly after he had given up on love. Hazel also got emotional when promising Tarik that she'd be loyal to him as well as a good mother and stepmother to Auri.
