<p id=”par-3_15″>Let’s get to know the <em>90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days </em>Season 8 couples. </p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-jovon-and-annalyn”>Jovon and Annalyn </h2>
<p id=”par-4_30″>When it comes to their relationship, Jovon, 38, and Annalyn, 38, are doing things a little differently. The pair are legally married, but they’ve yet to actually meet in person. </p>
<p id=”par-5_66″>Jovon, who is from Alabama, began his online romance with Annalyn, who is from the Philippines, during Covid. They had a virtual pandemic wedding, and now, they’re finally getting ready to be together in the real world. But with strong personalities and very different expectations around money, lifestyle, and gender roles, living together as husband and wife may be far more complicated than they ever imagined. </p>

<p id=”par-6_65″>Aviva, a 26-year-old from Arizona, met her Belizean boyfriend Stig, 30, two years ago via a social media video. Now, she’s traveling to Central America to meet her rapper beau known as Stig Da Artist for the first time in person.

<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-laura-and-birkan”>Laura and Birkan</h2>
<p id=”par-7_35″>Laura, 47, isn’t letting a significant age gap stand in the way of love. Her whirlwind romance with Birkan, 26, began on social media and after just a few weeks, they were talking about marriage. </p>
<p id=”par-8_56″>Laura, who is from Washington, is a fun-loving and active romantasy novel enthusiast. Birkan, who is from Turkey, is quiet and philosophical, with a mysterious past. But not everyone in Laura’s life is convinced she’s making the right move – including her parents and her best friend Michal, who might secretly be in love with her.</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-emma-and-ziad”>Emma and Ziad</h2>
<p id=”par-9_74″>Emma, a 28-year-old from California, met Ziad, 27, on an international dating app and was quickly swept up by his charm. Now, she’s flying to Morocco determined to leave with a ring on her finger. But she has a big secret: She was previously engaged to another Moroccan man. Meanwhile, Ziad may be hiding something as well, as his behavior sparks doubts, making her question whether their love story is really what it seems. </p>

<p id=”par-11_56″>Rick, 52, is a jack-of-all-trades from California.

But Lisa is keeping a big secret — she’s been married five times and has spent the last 21 years living as a lesbian. Will Daniel and his conservative family will accept her past? With questions swirling about money and trust, Lisa’s shot at love this time could be her most explosive yet. </p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-elise-and-joshua”>Elise and Joshua</h2>

Five months later, they’re meeting in person. But with Elise’s history of broken engagements and her resolve not to disappoint her family again, combined with Josh’s thrill-seeking lifestyle and friends on both sides sounding alarms, this whirlwind romance could end in a spectacular wipeout. </p>
