After getting engaged, Tiffany discovered Ronald had a criminal past and gambling addiction.

Once Ronald completed a six-month rehab program in South Africa, he wanted Tiffany to move Daniel and live with him in his native country.


Tiffany had to decide whether she should uproot her then eight-year-old son Daniel from a previous relationship and move across the world for Ronald, in spite of her hunch there were more secrets about his dark past.

Tiffany did, in fact, take a risk for love and fly to South Africa again on a Tourist Visa with Daniel. She said she was committed to Ronald but didn't know if her visit was going to become a permanent move.

"Unfortunately, the only Ronald I know is the Ronald that loves me but also the Ronald that put me through hell and hurt me and lied to me," Tiffany lamented.

Tiffany hoped Ronald wouldn't relapse and disappoint her family again. She also needed to make sure Daniel would love his life in South Africa and feel comfortable.

As the couple lived in South Africa together, they hit some bumps in the road -- including Ronald's wild bachelor party and Tiffany worrying his gambling addiction might turn into something else, such as alcoholism.


The pair's financial situation was also pretty dire as Ronald struggled to find a well-paying job post-rehab.

But Tiffany loved Ronald through it all and decided to marry him during her trip to South Africa.

Tiffany attempted to like South Africa, but Daniel wasn't happy there and Tiffany -- who was pregnant with her second child -- couldn't imagine giving birth in one of the hospitals.

After two months in South Africa, Tiffany therefore decided she was taking opportunities away from Daniel and wanted to give birth in America and live there long-term. Tiffany thought a life in South Africa was simply too dangerous for her little ones.


Tiffany determined instead of moving her whole family to Ronald's native country, she'd return home and apply for a spousal visa.

After giving birth to the couple's daughter Carley in Summer 2019, Tiffany revealed on Part 1 of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way's Tell-All special -- which aired in October 2019 -- that life in the U.S. was "so much harder" than she could have ever anticipated without her husband by her side.

In Part 2 of the Tell-All special, Tiffany revealed she had already purchased plane tickets so she and her children could visit Ronald again in South Africa soon.

Ronald, however, had yet to apply for the visa because he said it was going to cost him a lot of money.

"If Ronald's visa does not get approved, that's something we're going to have to face if it happens, but I'm not making a plan for that," Tiffany explained on the show.

Tiffany said at the time she wouldn't accept anything other than Ronald coming to the United States because she simply wasn't ready to move her kids to another country.

However, Ronald had a prior lengthy criminal record standing in his way stemming from his gambling addiction.

On Season 6 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, Tiffany was shown doing a makeup tutorial via Zoom while taking care of her 10-year-old son Daniel and her one-year-old daughter Carley whom she welcomed with Ronald.

When Carley was three months old, Tiffany said she was able to book tickets to South Africa so Ronald could meet his daughter for the first time. Tiffany recalled it being a magical moment, but she said that soon after that, Ronald became "very hot and cold" about eventually moving to the United States.


Ronald had told Tiffany that he didn't want to waste money trying for another visa -- given he had been denied a K-1 visa before due to his criminal record -- but then Tiffany revealed she went ahead and applied for a spousal CR-1 visa for Ronald.

"We still haven't heard anything back, and so Ronald is still in South Africa. COVID has really put my marriage through the wringer," Tiffany explained.

"The last time Ronald and I were physically together, it was eight months ago, and I am all alone -- left to face everything and be responsible for everything. Ronald, right now, is not emotionally supportive and he's not financially supportive."

Tiffany said Ronald never offered to send money for clothes or diapers, and Tiffany vented, "I didn't make this baby alone!"

Tiffany was then shown meeting with an attorney, Christopher Role, and said she was expecting a response for the spousal visa in one to three months.


Tiffany admitted she was no longer sure if she wanted to make things work with Ronald because she was allegedly the only person trying in their relationship.

"I have moments when I wonder if this marriage is right for me," Tiffany confessed. "Ronald doesn't know this, but I think I want a divorce."

Tiffany explained to the cameras a lot had happened over the past couple months and she almost felt stuck in the relationship.

Tiffany cried to Christopher about the "struggle" she was facing. She said she had reached "a breaking point" and feared there was "no other choice but to get divorced."

Tiffany didn't want to continue feeling miserable every day, and she worried things would only get worse once Ronald arrived in the United States.

Christopher advised Tiffany not to take divorce lightly because the process would be challenging, and so he suggested the couple should attempt therapy and counseling first.


Christopher asked Tiffany to think about whether she'd be better off with or without Ronald in her life.

"In order for me to think this could work out long-term, I need Ronald to get a job. I need Ronald to save money and I need Ronald to put in as much effort as I'm putting in," Tiffany explained, adding that she could no longer fund her family and baby her husband.

"This will no longer be all on me," she added.

Meanwhile, Ronald said he was sad and lonely to be away from his family and was hoping for the best.

Ronald anticipated a family visit soon and then moving to America to be with his wife and children. Ronald said he and Tiffany had been fighting a lot and she tended to use his past against him.


Ronald insisted he was making "small strides" and "ends meet" by doing odd jobs -- such as painting rooms -- since overcoming his gambling addiction. Ronald said Tiffany didn't trust that he was trying to do his best in South Africa.

"It's not easy having a wife who is always doubting that you are doing the right thing," Ronald explained. "I want Tiffany to see that I can be the husband I know I can be for her and this family."

Suddenly, Tiffany revealed to Ronald on Zoom she had decided to cancel her family's plane tickets to South Africa. Tiffany said it wasn't fair she was always paying for things and never receiving anything from her husband.

"If you want us to come, then buy the tickets," Tiffany told Ronald via Zoom, adding, "You should say, 'Baby, I want to help you!'"

Tiffany reminded Ronald that he had spent $3,000 to fix his motorcycle instead of helping his children, but Ronald reminded his wife that his money wasn't worth much in the U.S. due to the exchange rate.


Tiffany insisted that she was killing herself for their family, but Ronald disagreed. Ronald also said it was emotionally draining for him that he couldn't watch his children grow up and witness milestones, such as Carley's first steps or first words.

"It's really heartbreaking to see Carley grow up through a screen. It's unbearable," Ronald told the cameras.

Tiffany told the cameras if Ronald didn't start helping and paying more for their children then their marriage wasn't going to work out.

So are Tiffany and Ronald still together now or has the 90 Day Fiance couple broken up?

Ronald and Tiffany announced they were "separating" in January 2020 and seemed to be headed for a divorce.

Tiffany accused Ronald of "adultery" and manipulation and claimed he had suffered multiple relapses of the gambling addiction he had once sought treatment for before in a rehab facility.

On January 28, 2020, Tiffany told her Instagram followers in regards to her marriage "some things are just irreparable," and Ronald claimed on social media at the time he'd be "filing for divorce in South Africa" after a year-and-a-half of marriage.

"Tiff only tried to do good, not really control me but more protect me from wrong [people], places and temptations, and the more I think about it now, it makes sense..." Ronald wrote on Instagram during.

"She was more the victim and I'll admit here I was a dick to her at times, worrying about me, me, me and not looking after her feelings or needs."

But rumors of a reconciliation began to swirl on March 5, 2020 when Ronald posted adorable snapshots of Tiffany and himself seemingly in South Africa together.

In March 11, 2020 Ronald uploaded a selfie of the couple as well as a photo in which they were embracing in front of a fountain during a date night at Monte in Gauteng, South Africa.

Ronald then flat out confirmed the next day his marriage to Tiffany was back on and thriving in the comments section of his Instagram post.


"Hope the rumors are true and y'all found your way back to one another!!" one person wrote.

"Yes," Ronald replied.

When an Instagram user asked Ronald to "please work it out" with Tiffany, Ronald responded with, "We are good."

One person mentioned, "I thought they got divorced," and Ronald wrote back, "Guess not," with a smiley face.

And finally, one fan wrote, "Happy you're back together," to which Ronald replied, "Yes."

Tiffany revealed on a May 2020 episode of 90 Day Fiance: Self-Quarantined that she was waiting for Ronald to get approved for a spousal visa so he could move to the United States.

"We got married over a year ago, but we only applied for his spousal visa four months ago. The coronavirus has affected the whole process of the visa. This virus is stopping everything, including my family being together," Tiffany told the cameras.

Meanwhile, Ronald was living in Victoria, South Africa, and apparently FaceTimed or Skyped with his family in America often. Ronald said he desperately missed his family in the United States.

On top of the distance and coronavirus "craziness," Tiffany said there were trust issues in her relationship but she and Ronald were working with a counselor to get past them.

Tiffany and Ronald then reunited for the holidays in December 2020 after a tumultuous year.

Tiffany apparently brought her two kids, her son Daniel from a previous relationship and Ronald's daughter Carley, to South Africa to visit her husband for Christmas.


Tiffany had posted a family photo of Ronald, Daniel, Carley and herself outdoors on a bench and she captioned it, "Family," along with a red heart emoticon.

"Such amazing holidays with the family," she captioned another photo of herself and Ronald at the time.

Ronald also confirmed on his own Instagram account the pictures were not "old" or throwbacks.

"Merry Christmas to everyone and your family hope you all enjoy it as much as i do," Ronald wrote.

"Just wanted to show everyone how blessed i am to be with my family and to be able to spend such a happy time with them and make memories, having fun, playing around, and just spending quality time as a family together hehe."


There is little evidence on social media in 2021 that indicates the couple is still together now; however, Tiffany confirmed she still loves Ronald on April 4, 2020.

Ronald posted a beautiful tribute to Tiffany's son Daniel, whom Ronald also considers and calls his son.

In addition to complimenting the young boy on his maturity, cleverness and being well-mannered, Ronald wrote, "I just really hope that the connection we have I hope it never dies as you get older now I'm proud to have you as my son but also I'm a bit sad not being able to be there to celebrate it with you."

Ronald, who made it clear he's still living in South Africa, continued, "But make the best of it my boy just know you are in my thoughts and I wish I was there may you have a blessed year and many more and you guys better call me when your blow the candles lol."

Ronald added of Tiffany, "Last thing so tell your mom @tiffanyfrancosmith its your yes day and make the best of it... you know what i mean my boy! love your dad."

Tiffany actually commented in reply on Ronald's post, "Aw love you. I'm showing him."
