Zied and Rebecca, who has three kids and was previously married three times, first starred on Season 3 of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days.
Rebecca confessed her first two marriages were with "average, run-of-the-mill American men" and her third marriage turned out to be a disaster because the Moroccan man -- whom she had brought to America on a spousal visa -- became too jealous and controlling once he arrived in the United States.
Rebecca was certain, however, her romance with Zied would be different and last forever.
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).
Rebecca and Zied's time together was pretty great overall, but Rebecca had to learn that Zied wasn't using her for money, and Zied had to come to grips with the fact Rebecca was still technically married and once had a relationship with a woman.
Zied's family would never approve of Rebecca's same-sex relationship, but Zied said he still loved Rebecca more than anything and wanted to be with her forever.
As a result, Zied proposed marriage to Rebecca during a romantic picnic in the Sahara Desert.
Rebecca thought the marriage proposal was "perfect," and then she returned to America and filed for the K-1 visa.
Rebecca pointed out there were no red flags with Zied, who also insisted he wanted to work in the United States and was already making his own money.
On the premiere of 90 Day Fiance's eighth season, Rebecca was working hard to make and save money by managing a local fast-food restaurant, but she was still waiting for the K-1 visa to be approved.

Zied had to prove in his final interview that he was in his relationship with Rebecca for the right reasons.
"It was a very difficult decision for me to take the risk and do this again, and if it turns out that I'm wrong about Zied, I don't know if I'll ever trust my judgment again or be able to be in a relationship again," Rebecca shared.

It then became time for Zied's K-1 visa interview, but first, Rebecca went shopping for a game system so Zied could play video games while she's at work in America.
After Zied's K-1 visa interview, Zied FaceTimed with Rebecca and revealed his passport had been taken away and no one told him whether he had been approved for the visa. Zied said he was asked many questions and told to return for his passport about a week later.
Rebecca was in shock and didn't know what this meant, but in the end, Zied's K-1 visa was approved -- and Rebecca was absolutely ecstatic.
This moment was the culmination of two years of paperwork and phone calls and being patient. Rebecca said it finally felt real that she and Zied were going to become a family and would be able to see each other every single day.
Rebecca wondered how Zied would mesh with her family and friends, but the next step was moving into a new place so Zied would have a home once he arrived in the United States.

Zied's parents hoped for a better life for Zied, but they were upset Rebecca is not Arabic and doesn't share their religious views.
Zied's father asked Zied to stay connected with him and try his best to succeed and be happy, but the whole family was sad about being split up.
Rebecca was then shown moving into a new apartment -- with seemingly only a bed and some dishes -- and she worried Zied wouldn't be happy once he found out she had previously lived in the same apartment building with her Moroccan ex-husband.
Rebecca said she couldn't wait to cook for Zied and make him happy.
Zied had a tough time saying goodbye to his family at the airport because he said they mean the world to him, and he admitted he was "so nervous" about starting a new life in America -- although it would probably be a better life.
It had been a little over a year since Rebecca was able to kiss or touch Zied, and she was shown getting ready to pick Zied up at the airport in the United States.

Tiffany had never met Zied in person, so she wanted to take the same car as Rebecca and Zied to and from the airport, which rubbed Rebecca the wrong way because she was getting the feeling Tiffany and Micah wanted to act as chaperones.
Tiffany and Micah said they wanted to get to know Zied better and try to find out his true intentions. But this isn't the type of energy Rebecca wanted in the car since she had been waiting for this day to see Zied for 13 months.
Rebecca wanted her reunion with Zied to go perfectly, and when Zied finally arrived, the couple hugged tight and she said he smelled and looked so good. Zied told Rebecca that he missed her so much and was so happy to be with her again.
"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," Tiffany complained. "It's like she's a love-sick teenager. But we still don't know his intentions."
Tiffany and Micah then asked Zied what he planned to do for work in the United States, which rubbed Rebecca the wrong way since it was only Zied's first day in America.

Once Zied saw the apartment in which he'd be living, he thought it was nice but noticed there was no furniture yet. He seemed very quiet around his fiancee.
"Zied doesn't really seem like himself right now, maybe it was leaving his family and friends or maybe it was the third degree he got from Tiffany and Micah," Rebecca explained in a confessional.
Rebecca acknowledged that Zied didn't seem happy, but he insisted that he was just tired and needed to shower and get some rest. She could tell Zied was off and hoped he wasn't second-guessing his decision.
During Zied's first morning in America, he said he was so happy to be with her. Rebecca wished she didn't have to go to work, but she had to make money to support him during his stay in America.

Zied could feel the distance from his family and said it made him feel very sad, but he could tell Rebecca was doing everything possible to make him feel comfortable, including shopping for groceries.
Zied also gave Rebecca the bracelet he had purchased for her in Tunisia.
"Zied is absolutely the most romantic, thoughtful and caring man I've ever been in a relationship with. He surprises me constantly!" Rebecca gushed.
Zied already wanted to visit his family soon, but Rebecca said he'd probably have to wait a year due to his paperwork. Zied was clearly struggling to adjust to life in the United States without his loved ones.
"I want to feel like Zied is ready to be my husband and build a life here with me. As homesick as he is, if Zied isn't happy here, I don't know if this marriage will even happen," Rebecca shared.
Rebecca's good friend Melanie then showed up at the apartment to meet Zied in person. Melanie had once done a background check on Zied, so Zied was feeling uneasy about the meeting.

Melanie admitted there were similarities between Zied and Rebecca's ex who had crushed her heart, but Rebecca snapped that Zied is a different man and their relationship was totally different.
"Didn't you and your ex live right down the hall?" Melanie asked Rebecca.
"What?!" Zied asked in surprise.
Rebecca apologized to Zied and insisted their situation was different from what she had with her ex.
"The same home. I hate this," Zied admitted. "She is my fiancee now. Of course that makes me jealous -- any man in the world [would be]. But I don't like to see Rebecca upset [and cry]."
Zied therefore comforted Rebecca, and Melanie insisted that she just wanted to see her friend happy and in a good place after she had gone through a brutal divorce.

Zied said he was tired of people talking about Rebecca's ex and comparing him to the ex. Zied told Melanie that he didn't care about Rebecca's Moroccan ex and the fact Rebecca had stayed with him in the same apartment building.
Rebecca asked Melanie to trust her, saying that Zied is a wonderful man.
Rebecca said Melanie was borderline disrespectful to Zied but she was just thankful Zied had handled the situation so well.
Rebecca insisted she didn't have anything to prove to anyone except for her fiance, but Melanie -- a private investigator -- said she was going to continue looking for red flags and would need the full 90 days to come to a conclusion about Zied's intentions.

In the first few days of Zied's time in the U.S., Rebecca was trying to make Zied laugh and show him a good time.
Zied and Rebecca then went out to dinner with Tiffany, Tiffany's friend Hannah, and Tiffany's fiance Micah, who still wasn't sure if Zied was "playing" them.
Zied revealed the biggest difference for him in America was that people aren't allowed to kiss in public in Tunisia and would go to jail for a public display of affection.
Rebecca said she felt a bit uncomfortable Hannah, "a young and hot blonde" was at the dinner table and seemed so interested in Zied. Hannah even offered to help Zied move his things with her truck, which rubbed Rebecca the wrong way.
Rebecca explained Zied's culture wouldn't allow a pretty, young single woman to be at his apartment, but Tiffany believed Hannah was just trying to be genuinely helpful and Rebecca was showing she was jealous and insecure.
Rebecca warned Zied that women in America are not the same as the women in Tunisia.

In the trailer for what's to come on Season 8 of 90 Day Fiance, Zied tells Rebecca he's not going to stay with her if she doesn't agree to marry him in the United States before Ramadan.
"Zied seems dead set about getting married as quickly as possible," Rebecca tells the camera, "and it's making me question his motives."
So are Rebecca and Zied still together now or did the 90 Day Fiance couple split up?
Rebecca and her ex-husband from Morocco finalized their divorce on July 9, 2019, according to divorce documents obtained by In Touch Weekly.According to Rebecca, Zied's visa was approved less than four months after they applied for it, which was a short period of time considering they both anticipated it could take anywhere from six months to a year.

"We were very fortunate at that time... He got here and within two days, COVID hit and everything was locked down. So we just [got him to America] under the wire," Rebecca said.
Rebecca and Zied reportedly obtained their marriage license on April 14, 2020.
Rebecca and Zied exchanged vows and got married in Lumpkin County, GA, on April 19, 2020, according to a representative from the Probate Court in Cherokee County, In Touch reported.
Zied is therefore now a married man seemingly living with Rebecca in Canton, GA.
Although Zied wouldn't confirm whether he was in the United States this past summer, it was apparent he and Rebecca were still going strong in June.

On June 10, Rebecca posted a photo of Zied on Instagram and added the following hashtags to her post: "sexy" and "mine."
And on July 16, Rebecca shared a picture of Zied lying in bed on a pink pillow.
"#sexyaf #mine #rebeccaandzied #90dayfiance @tlc_90day_zied I love you more than all the sand in the Sahara," Rebecca wrote with many heart and kissing emojis.
Rebecca later gushed about Zied in mid-August by posting a photo of the couple on Instagram with "I love you forever" written across the image.
"I love you so much @tlc_90day_zied. Thank you for making every day of my life since April 24, 2018, happy and so full of hope for the future," Rebecca captioned her post.

Zied also spilled a spoiler on October 15 that he and Rebecca were still happy and in love.
Zied posted a photo of Rebecca kissing him on the cheek when they were both wearing winter hats.
"I love you so much my love @tlc_90day_rebecca #tlc #90dayfiance #rebeccaandzied," he wrote alongside the picture with numerous heart-eyes emoticons.
Rebecca then replied in the comments section, "Babyyy I love you more. Mahboulla bik habibii."
Zied and Rebecca's main Instagram photos also feature one another.
But Rebecca admitted Zied didn't adjust well to life in America at first.
"He's never been married before. He's never been in a long-term relationship before. He's never been to another country before... He basically said, 'This is not what I thought it was going to be,' and he was very unhappy," Rebecca shared with Us in her December interview.
"He missed his family and it was really hard. It was a struggle."

Rebecca also said "a rather large argument" made matters worse when Zied and Rebecca were trying to adjust to life together in America shortly after Zied's arrival.
"I know if I were going to Tunisia and I was going to live there, I would have something in my head of what [to expect]," Rebecca said.

Rebecca noted Zied just sat around and couldn't drive or go anywhere, and she admitted life didn't get any easier in subsequent months after Zied's big move.
"If I were in any -- literally almost any -- other field of work, this would have been a blessing in disguise," Rebecca told Us, referencing how she manages a fast-food restaurant.
"Can you imagine [if] I would have gotten the stimulus checks and probably gotten unemployment to stay home? We would have thought it was written just for us. We would have gotten to stay together, like, 'This is amazing!' Or we would have killed each other, I don't know."
Rebecca continued, "But you know, because of my job, it was just the worst possible scenario. So it wasn't the best... It was really bad."
Rebecca had been hoping to travel with Zied -- including stops in Miami and New York -- before the coronavirus pandemic, and so she said life recently has been "a bit of a letdown."

More recently, Zied dropped huge hints he is still living in the United States, presumably with Rebecca, in January 2021 Instagram posts.
Zied posted a slideshow of images with his family at the airport in early January and captioned them, "I want to say to my mother, father, sister, family and friends @ssen10 @khalilaymen3 and the other goodbye. I promise to come back to see you soon .. I love you all very much .. #90dayfiance #rebeccaandzied #tlc."
Saying he'll "come back" to see his family in Tunisia "soon" indicates he still resides in America.
On January 13, 2021, Rebecca wished Zied a happy birthday on Instagram by posting a photo of the two of them.
"Happy Birthday @tlc_90day_zied I hope you have a wonderful day full of all the blessings you deserve," Rebecca wrote, along with a heart. "#rebeccaandzied #90dayfiance #happybirthday #tlc."

Zied also took to Instagram in late January with a seemingly-recent picture of Rebecca and himself wearing cowboy hats.
And in February, Rebecca posted on Instagram suggesting she and Zied remain a team against haters and skeptics.
"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.
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.
"Tame Nunes Tess, you made my day! I hope your hubby loves it! Happy Valentine's Day to you both #valentines #love #90dayfiance #rebeccaandzied #90dayfiancefansarethebest."
