[90 Day Fiance Spoiler Warning: This report features spoilers that reveal whether Hazel and Tarik are still together or if the 90 Day Fiance couple split up.]
Tarik was a 43-year-old realtor and single father from Virginia Beach, VA, when he first saw Hazel, a single mother from Quezon City, Philippines who is now 28-years-old, on an Asian dating website.RELATED LINK: '90 DAY FIANCE' COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER?

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 had to see for himself.
Hazel was, in fact, quiet and reserved with Tarik and wasn't very affectionate, but Tarik was still optimistic about his relationship and decided to pop the question at the end of his trip.
Once Tarik returned to the U.S., he filed for Hazel's K-1 visa and she agreed to sign a prenuptial agreement to prove she was with Tarik for the right reasons.
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 was finally going to move to America and meet Tarik's seven-year-old daughter Auri for the first time. Auri apparently stays with her father five out of seven days a week and lives with her mother on the weekends.
Tarik shared how Auri has high-functioning autism and everything in his life revolves around her. Tarik hoped Hazel would love Auri and that they'd get along wonderfully.
Hazel also has an eight-year-old son Harrey, and Hazel was having a tough time leaving him behind. Tarik and Hazel therefore planned to bring Harrey to the United States "eventually" in order to give the boy more opportunities in life.

Speaking of "opportunities," Hazel looked forward to having a girlfriend on the side in the United States.
RELATED LINK: '90 DAY FIANCE' COUPLES NOWShe and Tarik had once introduced a woman named Minty from Thailand into their relationship but Hazel ended it after a few days because she was jealous of how much Tarik seemed to like Minty. (Tarik began dating Minty alone when he and Hazel were on a break).
"Hazel felt like Minty was more into me than she was into Hazel," Tarik explained.
"Hazel could see I was just fascinated by Minty. It was refreshing to me to be able to speak in Thai and talk about all the stuff I experienced in Thailand, but there was this jealousy that came over Hazel immediately and it ended right there. Hazel told me to never contact Minty ever again."
However, Tarik confessed he had texted Minty again a couple of weeks back to check on her amid the coronavirus pandemic. Tarik was afraid to tell Hazel about his little betrayal.
Tarik then picked Hazel up at the airport and the pair had a sweet reunion.
"This is the turning point in my life. It's like everything before her and then everything after her," Tarik said.
Once Hazel arrived in America, she was a bit overwhelmed and needed to adjust. She also apparently didn't like the spiritual center at which Tarik hoped to wed.
Hazel and Auri bonded right away and things were going great for a while -- until Hazel discovered a message to Minty on Tarik's phone.

Hazel asked why Tarik hadn't been honest with her right away, and he acknowledged that she was right.
Hazel felt the virus was just an excuse to get in touch with Minty, but Tarik promised he wouldn't contact their ex again.
Production then shut down for two weeks due to coronavirus, and Tarik and Hazel tried to make the best out of quarantining together.
The couple searched through women's dating profiles together, for example, and Tarik just hoped Hazel still considered marrying him the No. 1 priority.
Hazel told the cameras that she wanted to find a sexy, brown American woman to date.
"I really hope we can find a perfect girl that we both agree on. Having a girlfriend is always what I wanted, but my relationship with Tarik is more important. So I just hope it feels different from the last time with Minty," Hazel explained.
With 35 days to wed, Tarik and Hazel decided to concentrate on their wedding planning since they were running out of time and needed to make some progress as soon as possible.
About two weeks later, Hazel explained she wanted a girlfriend not just for sex but to also have a sister-like best friend in her life.
Tarik suggested to Hazel they ask Minty for help on their search because Minty knew them very well and might have a good recommendation for them, but Hazel was annoyed about how much Tarik talked about Minty.

"If Tarik still has feelings for Minty, I don't know how we can get married," Hazel noted.
Hazel wondered if Tarik was just looking for an excuse to be able to communicate with Minty again.

Hazel didn't like asking Minty for advice, but she apparently said "yes" to see how Tarik and Minty would interact with each other. Hazel wanted to know if Tarik was going to flirt with Minty and if she could really trust him.
"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, but Minty told Hazel to compromise since Tarik really likes Thai woman. Minty therefore suggested she could join their love triangle again.
Minty told Hazel that they wouldn't be able to find another girl like her in the future, but Hazel asked her to stop talking.
"She will not be our girl," Hazel confirmed.
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, and he just hoped they could move past their issues given Hazel was upset at him and a bit jealous of Minty.

Hazel told Tarik that Minty had been very "disrespectful" to her, and Tarik agreed it was a bad idea to contact Minty and communicate with her at all.
"I don't trust you with her and I still think you call her because that's what you like," Hazel explained.
Tarik wondered when Hazel was going to stop worrying about Minty and his past. Tarik said he needed Hazel to trust him and she was making him out to look like the "villain" or "the bad guy."

"What if one day he gonna fall in love with her again? But Tarik wants me to think that will never happen," Hazel said, adding that she didn't believe Tarik.
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]."

Tarik determined he should probably delete Minty's number from his phone in order to please Hazel.
Tarik said Hazel's behavior didn't bode well for the future considering throwing a girlfriend into the mix could spiral their relationship out of control.
"If you don't have [trust], you don't have a relationship," Tarik said.
So are Tarik and Hazel still together now or did the 90 Day Fiance couple call it quits on their romance?
Tarik and Hazel are still a couple and their romance appears to be thriving.
Tarik uploaded a video of Hazel and himself dancing together in early March.

He added the hashtags "Tarzel," "girlpower" and "ilovevirginiabeach."

On January 16, Tarik posted a photo of Hazel standing in the sunlight with her eyes closed, and he captioned the image, "You are an original. You are misunderstood. You are ridiculed and hated on by many close to you. But you are still perfect."
He continued, "I am an original. Misunderstood. Ridiculed and hated on by many close to me. We soak up the sun different. #Tarzel #90dayfiance #90dayfiancebaresall #90dayfiancepillowtalk #beforethe90days #nomakeup #nofilterneeded."

Tarik also wished Hazel a happy Mother's Day in May.
"When life dealt you crap, you turned it into fertilizer. I was proud of you before the cameras rolled. And I'll be proud of you... Well anyway. I'm your defense mechanism against anyone. And I mean anyone. Happy Mother's Day Zellybean," Tarik wrote alongside a photo of Hazel and her son.

Back in October 2019, Tarik gushed about Hazel on Instagram.
"I had so many rules that you became the exception to. So many standards that you exceeded. Also, I'm forever grateful to you for pulling those knives out of my back that a smiling faced Judas shoved in. You are goals. #TarZel #90dayfiance #90dayfiancepillowtalk," he wrote.
And in August, 2019, Tarik called his girl "an implausible, irreplaceable gift from God."
In Summer 2019, Hazel gushed about Tarik and wrote, "Sometimes I still pinch myself to make sure Im not dreaming. Sometimes I still cant believe that youre real and that ur mine."
"I never thought that some1 as amazing as u would fall in love with someone as silly as me," she continued.
"But Im so glad that u did because my life has been nothing but wonderful. Thank u 4 coming into my life and for letting me show u how much u mean to me. #TarZel #ILoveYouHoney."
