Following a three-month courtship, 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 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, and in the meantime, her goal was to bond with Tarik's daughter Auri, who has high-functioning autism, in America.
"This is the turning point in my life. It's like everything before her and then everything after her," Tarik said.
Hazel was a bit overwhelmed by the United States at first and needed time to adjust.
Hazel and Auri also got along great, but problems arose once Hazel discovered a message on Tarik's phone to Minty from Thailand -- the couple's shared ex-girlfriend whom Hazel dumped out of jealousy in three days over Minty's strong connection with Tarik.
Hazel asked why Tarik hadn't been honest with her right away, and he acknowledged that she was right and wouldn't contact her again.

RELATED LINK: '90 DAY FIANCE' COUPLES NOWDuring quarantine, the couple searched through women's dating profiles together. Hazel told the cameras that she wanted to find a "sexy, brown American woman" to date although her relationship with Tarik was more important.
But the couple had trouble in their search for the perfect partner, which resulted in Tarik suggesting they should contact Minty for some dating advice.
Tarik said Minty could help them because she understood what the both of them were looking for, but Hazel saw through Tarik's plan and accused him of finding an excuse to talk to Minty again.
In May 2020, Hazel agreed they could contact Minty, but only because she wanted to watch the pair interact with each other.
"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 made it very clear she didn't want to date or be friends with Minty, and with 18 days left to wed on Hazel's K-1 visa, the couple wasn't in a great place.
Tarik was afraid Hazel was going to throw in the towel and refuse to get married, but Hazel felt disrespected and had lost trust in her fiance, who believed he had done nothing wrong.
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."

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]."

Tarik determined he should probably delete Minty's number from his phone in order to please Hazel.
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.
Tarik said a woman in the Philippines -- whom he had previously been friends with for years but lost touch with -- suddenly started calling him a lot and so Hazel apparently messaged the girl asking why she was reaching out to her fiancé.
Hazel said Tarik was good at defending himself and added, "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."
Tarik said Hazel's behavior made him look crazy, but Angela insisted Tarik was acting like "an alpha male" and needed to accept the fact he was wrong. Angela advised Tarik to block the women who made Hazel feel uncomfortable.
And Tarik acknowledged he needed to fix his broken relationship or else there may not even be a wedding.
In June 2020, Tarik put his powder-blue suit on and decorated the house with rose petals and candles in order to please Hazel and surprise her with a romantic evening. Tarik 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 noted she was happy to have a future with Tarik, but before getting married, she felt the need to come out to her religious, born-again Christian parents in the Philippines and reveal she's bisexual and would like to have a girlfriend in addition to a husband.
Hazel then asked her father via FaceTime, "Would you be angry if I like women? I like women and I like men."
Hazel's mother hoped her daughter's feelings would go away, but her father was actually pretty supportive and said he'd be happy as long as Hazel is happy.
"If my mom never accepts me being bisexual, I will be very sad. But I am happy that I can get married without hiding anything," Hazel told the cameras. "I feel like this is a new life for me in America."
One day before the couple's wedding, Hazel celebrated her bachelorette party thrown by Tarik's friends Angela, Kia and Michelle at a hotel room. All of the women had been cleared of coronavirus.
Tarik expressed how he felt purely happy, even though he wasn't going to have a bachelor party for himself. Tarik also "cooked up a surprise" for Hazel that he thought she was going to love.
Once in the hotel room, Hazel and the girls popped champagne and then had a surprise visit from an exotic dancer, whom Hazel called "sexy."
Hazel loved the dancer's moves and gushed about how Tarik had chosen the right girl for her taste.
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.

Hazel gushed about marrying the man she loves, a man who accepts her for who she is and wants to be.
"Coronavirus couldn't stop this day being the most beautiful day for me and Hazel," Tarik gushed.
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.
Hazel's parents decided to participate in the wedding via Zoom despite the fact her mother didn't approve of Hazel being bisexual. Hazel realized in that moment her parents must have accepted her "somehow."
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 joked that she wanted to bite him, and the pair were married by Tarik's friend Angela.
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.
"I love you both forever and ever," Hazel noted.
The couple was officially married and Hazel gushed, "I am wife!... I am the boss now and I am happy!"

In late February, Tarik posted a video of Hazel posing as computer-generated snowflakes fell around her face.
