The pair fell in love after Rebecca experienced three failed marriages, and they first starred on Season 3 of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days.
Rebecca's third marriage was with a Moroccan man who had moved to America to be with her on a spousal visa and allegedly became jealous and controlling once he arrived in the U.S.
Rebecca was sure, however, her relationship with Zied would be different and Zied is a better man.
Rebecca therefore traveled over 15 hours to Tunisia with the goal of getting engaged to Zied, but her third divorce had yet to be finalized. (Rebecca hadn't filed the paperwork although both she and her ex signed the papers).
Despite their differences and past mistakes, Rebecca and Zied determined that they wanted to be together forever -- and so Zied proposed marriage during a picnic in the Sahara Desert.
On 90 Day Fiance's eighth season, Zied's K-1 visa was finally approved and he moved to the United States after two years of a long-distance relationship.
"We've been through this before, where she's met foreign men who are half her age pretty much, and it just always goes bad," Rebecca's daughter Tiffany complained in a confessional.
"It's like she's a love-sick teenager. But we still don't know his intentions."
But Zied insisted his intentions were pure, and he even gave Rebecca a bracelet to show his affection.

Zied was optimistic about his future in America, however, he had trouble adjusting to his new life and missed his family. Zied also hated being compared to Rebecca's Moroccan ex. (Rebecca and her third ex-husband finalized their divorce on July 9, 2019, according to divorce documents obtained by In Touch Weekly).
And Rebecca had to ease into the transition as well. Not only did she get jealous when pretty American women would talk to Zied, but she also feared Zied would eventually change his mind about wanting children.
Zied claimed he doesn't need to be a father after Rebecca underwent a partial hysterectomy due to a tumor and can not have anymore children.
Rebecca later took Zied to a venue where they could have their wedding. She surprised him with a horse-drawn carriage, and Rebecca said her goal was to make Zied excited about planning their wedding.
Zied told Rebecca that while she wanted a big and beautiful wedding, coronavirus was spreading and he needed to get married quickly.
"I'm disappointed Zied is willing to settle so quickly on just having a regular courthouse wedding," Rebecca shared with the cameras.
"Despite the fact I've been married three times before, to be honest, this feels like the first time I'm getting married and this is going to be my last wedding. So I want it to be special!"
Rebecca desired a "normal" wedding, but Zied told Rebecca that he wanted to marry her before Ramadan, which is the biggest holiday for people who practice Islam and started in a few weeks from that point.

The holiday lasts about a month long, and Zied said he couldn't live in the same household as Rebecca during the holiday unless they're married. Rebecca wondered why Zied hadn't brought this up earlier.
With 67 days left to wed on Zied's K-1 visa, Rebecca lamented, "It's possible he could be playing me just like my ex from Morocco did. [This situation] makes me feel like telling him, 'Go live somewhere else.'"
Zied argued that he was in America for Rebecca and not a green card, but Rebecca really didn't want to rush their nuptials and wondered in the back of her mind of Zied was using and taking advantage of her.
"So you're a strict Muslim one month out of the year?" Rebecca snapped.
Zied suggested to Rebecca they could have "a beautiful wedding" in Tunisia after coronavirus ends, and Rebecca seemed to come around to the idea of tying the knot sooner rather than later since she believed in her heart that Zied loved her.
"I don't think this is the right thing for me to be doing, but he has been a part of every single day of my life -- a big part, every day for the last two years. And I can't bear to lose him at this point, for any reason," Rebecca said in a confessional.
Rebecca let Zied know that she'd do things his way but she wasn't happy about it.
With only four days left to wed before Ramadan, Rebecca lost her engagement ring and was feeling so rushed, hectic and frazzled. The cabin resort Rebecca and Zied had previously visited, however, agreed to host their wedding.
While Rebecca searched for her engagement ring, Zied was playing video games and didn't seem to care.

"The person Zied was in Tunisia is not the person I'm seeing right now," Rebecca lamented. "It feels all that matters to Zied is we get married this weekend, and I'm left to do everything for the wedding."
Rebecca said she felt like she was on a train that was going "90 miles an hour."

"I think getting married should be easy and beautiful, and none of this feels that way. So I don't know if I should get off the train or ride it out."
In April 2020, Rebecca and Zied only had two days left to wed, and Rebecca said she had a never-ending list of things to do and it was annoying Zied didn't need to be responsible for anything.
Zied was well aware Rebecca was angry at him, but he said there was nothing he could do to fix that or make her feel better.
Zied later FaceTimed with his sister Wiem and broke the news of his pending nuptials.
Wiem replied, "Are you sure you want to marry her? She's been married to three people before. I don't get it. I mean, the three husbands were bad? Is that all bad luck? She could be the one with problems."
Zied's sister couldn't believe Zied had sacrificed so much to be with Rebecca, and Wiem worried about Zied being comfortable in America and loved unconditionally by Rebecca.
But Zied insisted his quality of life would be better in America and he'd be able to get a great job -- a better position than he had in Tunisia.
Rebecca felt everything had gone wrong in terms of her wedding day because her family members didn't even want to attend due to coronavirus risk, but her best friend Melanie was waiting for her at the cabin.

Rebecca cried to Melanie about how she felt exhausted and had reached her breaking point. Rebecca was trying to juggle work, sleep and planning a wedding.
Rebecca also said her dress didn't fit, she had lost her engagement ring, and meteorologists predicted it was going to rain on her wedding day. Melanie reminded Rebecca, however, that she was going to get the man she wanted -- even though it meant not getting the wedding of her dreams.

When the couple's wedding day arrived, Rebecca said she was feeling pretty nervous. It wasn't going to be the wedding she wanted or the wedding of her dreams, but Rebecca looked forward to spending the rest of her life with the "amazing" Zied regardless.
All of Rebecca's children couldn't attend the wedding due to coronavirus, but Tiffany was present for her mother's third wedding. Tiffany's fiance Micah also showed up for Tiffany's big day but still had doubts and concerns about Zied.
Rebecca said she had purchased a dress online that was two sizes too big since she couldn't go shopping for a dress in boutiques. After the dress was altered, it apparently didn't zip up and so Rebecca said she was going to wear a white corset on top of it.
Rebecca was picked up in a white carriage pulled by horses, and she said she felt like a princess on her way to marry her prince. Zied also gushed about being "so happy" as his bride arrived.
"I am so happy to have a woman like Rebecca. She is so beautiful," Zied said.

Rebecca was walked down the aisle by Micah and his friend Clay, and Zied was standing at the top of the aisle outside of a country gazebo wearing a blue dress shirt and purple jacket.
Rebecca and Zied then held hands and exchanged rings and vows. After a kiss, they became man and wife, officially!
Zied said the wedding felt like a fairy tale, and Rebecca told the cameras that she couldn't wait to go home with Zied and be alone with him. After the wedding, the couple took off together in the horse-drawn carriage.
So are Rebecca and Zied still together and married or did the 90 Day Fiance couple call it quits after their wedding?
Rebecca and Zied obtained their marriage license on April 14, 2020 and then got married in Lumpkin County, GA, on April 19, 2020, according to a representative from the Probate Court in Cherokee County, In Touch Weekly reported.It appears Rebecca and Zied are still a couple and living together in Georgia, and that their relationship is thriving.

As recently as mid-March, Rebecca also posted a funny video of Zied using a Snapchat filter for the first time. The lovebirds were cracking up laughing together and seemed to be really happy.
"Y'all this is so funny! @tlc_90day_zied seeing himself with a filter," Rebecca captioned the post along with multiple crying-laughing emoticons.
Rebecca also bragged Zied is "the purest soul on earth" because he made an elaborate cage for his gerbils at home.
"Just look at the details," Rebecca noted. "I love him."
Zied also posted a slideshow of photos from his wedding and captioned the post with multiple heart-eyes emoticons, hearts and smiley faces.
In early March, Zied showed he's still in the United States by taking a trip to Six flags with three of his male friends.
In mid-February, Rebecca posted a photo of herself wearing an apron that reads, "I [love] you like Zied [love]s Rebecca."
"Y'all when I saw this, I literally got tears in my eyes!! One of my wonderful followers on Facebook sent this to me. She had this made as a Valentine's Day gift," Rebecca gushed in the caption.

"I'm so fortunate that [Zied] has been so patient with all the comparisons to you-know-[who] from everyone around me. To everyone who has been telling me I should've stuck up for him, I actually did, it just wasn't shown," Rebecca captioned a video of her friend Melanie calling Rebecca out for having lived in the same apartment complex with her ex-husband.
"And that's okay. I appreciate the many messages I have received since last night. Also please remember I had a tough time meeting his friends and family as well. Everything will work itself out, one way or another."
"Ultimately, we knew our relationship would face a lot of tests," she continued.
"It's how we handle these tests that will determine if we make it or not. But I really wish it were easier for Zied. No matter what, he does not deserve to be compared to anyone else. We really appreciate everyone's support. Thank you."
In fact, Rebecca revealed on 90 Day Bares All she is no longer friends with Melanie and will never forgive her for telling Zied about the apartment building.
And in January, Rebecca wished Zied a happy birthday and said he deserves all the blessings he receives. She also posted an entire slideshow featuring sweet and affectionate photos of Zied and herself.
