At the time, Jen was living on her family's Oklahoma farm with her mother, brother, and sister-in-law. She called herself a "nomad" considering she had lived in New Orleans as well as five or six major cities.
Jen recalled Rishi showing her some of his modeling photos, which initially made her think that she should "hard pass" on him. She said she wasn't interested in him "at all" and thought he "was a do-ch-bag." But a couple of days later, they hung out as friends and continued seeing each other a handful of times.
Jen disclosed how it's hard to pinpoint exactly when she fell for Rishi but she just knew he was The One once they got to know each other a little better.
Within a month of them meeting, Rishi proposed marriage. Jen said the engagement was completely out of the blue because they hadn't discussed the future or Jen leaving or staying.
"But I did not hesitate at all before saying 'yes,' it just felt right," Jen recalled.
After the couple got engaged, Jen left India but planned to move there to be with her fiance as soon as possible. Unfortunately, COVID-19 hit and so she hadn't seen Rishi at all.
Jen waited for two years for the border to finally open, and so she gushed on the 90 Day Fiance spin off how she was finally moving to India.
Her family and friends worried, however, that Jen was making another "huge mistake" considering she had past relationships with similarities that didn't work out. She had been married for less than two years before Rishi came along.
And Jen admittedly had insecurities in her relationship with Rishi when they were apart. Their communication was inconsistent, according to Jen, because he allegedly failed to answer calls and video messages sometimes. Jen even contemplated ending their romance.
But 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way's fourth season showed Jen moving to India and giving Rishi a genuine chance.

Rishi, for instance, kept pushing back the date of when he was going to tell his parents about his engagement to Jen. And in the meantime, Rishi's parents were looking for a woman to match Rishi with for an arranged marriage. His parents had been looking for about a year-and-a-half.
Jen also put her trust in Rishi to the test by allowing her best friend Randi to catfish Rishi and send him a flirty DM on Instagram.
Not only did Rishi respond, but he suggested they should meet up in-person in India. Rishi also sent Randi a shirtless modeling photo of himself.
Randi called this "a red flag" and thought Rishi was "shady as f-ck," but Jen wanted to give her fiance the benefit of the doubt, especially since his English wasn't great.

Jen, a speech pathologist who has a Master's Degree, also couldn't envision herself being a traditional Indian wife, cooking and cleaning the house for her husband.
Jen's Tourist Visa was also about to expire in India, so she had to travel back to the United States and apply for the Tourist Visa again.

But before Jen left India, Rishi proposed to her for the second time, and she said, "Yes."
Even though Rishi had flirted with Randi on social media, she said she loved Rishi and needed to see him again. Although she was "disgusted" by Rishi's betrayal, she decided to return to India and confront him about his questionable behavior.
Rishi ultimately explained to Jen that he knew the woman was her friend Randi all along and so he assumed she was just "pulling [his] leg." Rishi said he was essentially playing along with Randi until the conversation became inappropriate, and so he blocked her.
Jen didn't really buy Rishi's explanation, but she chose to look past it.
Rishi then disappointed Jen again when he told her that he wanted to wait a couple more months, until August 2, to tell his parents about their relationship.
"I already asked Jen to wait to tell my family about our relationship," Rishi told the cameras. "But now I have to ask her to wait even longer. I know this is hard for her, and she might be angry at me. I just hope she will not completely give up on our relationship."
And then when Rishi finally got to meet Jen's friends, Randi and Myra, Rishi revealed he had met "two or three" women whom his parents had been trying to fix him up with.
However, Rishi previously told Jen that he had no idea his parents were looking for a wife for him.
"Hello, you just found out they're looking for you yet you rejected a variety of options for the last two years?!" Jen complained in a confessional.
"I really don't understand Rishi's timeline of events, but it's clear to me he's known about this the whole time. We can't go forward to a future if I find out he's lying about everything in the past. There are so many lies!... He is some kind of pathological liar."
And based on a preview for the show's reunion special, there is more drama for this couple to come.
So are Jen and Rishi still together, or has the 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way couple split?
It appears Jen and Rishi are currently living in India. Jen and Rishi have posted several photos showing they are located in Jaipur.ADVERTISEMENT

Jen asked her followers not to write any hateful or mean comments about her best friend Randi, and Rishi made it known in the comments how he has no problem with Randi.
"She is like a diamond. You all are making mistakes... Whatever she did .. because she care of @jenboecher... And I really appreciate her work," Rishi wrote.
Jen conducted an Instagram Live on March 31 from New York, asking for tips on how to gain more followers on social media.
"Our story is 100 percent true. I know that's a question people ask," Jen said.
Rishi noticeably commented on her video, "I missed this lovely session but I love these all the comments... People understand us and love us thank you all the lovely people for your love and support.. Love [from] India and love you babe @jenboecher you made my day. I open my eyes and I found you here."
About a week earlier, Rishi tagged Jen in an Instagram post and gushed, "You make me happier than I ever thought I could be."
And on March 12, Jen uploaded a sweet selfie of the couple smiling.
"When love is not madness it is not love." - Pedro Calderon de la Barca," Jen captioned the image.
Rishi and Jen were also in Jaipur City in late February. Rishi posted a photo of the couple and wrote, "I need you like a heart needs a beat. More alive in person with you @jenboecher."
In addition, Rishi posted photos from his engagement party on February 8. He was standing next to Jen and smiling in the photo.
