This season was an absolute rollercoaster, and I'm here to give you the ultimate recap, dish out some thoughts, and maybe even predict what's next for our favorite (and least favorite) couples. So, grab your snacks, settle in, and let's dive into the juicy details of Season 4!
The Couples: Where Are They Now?
Season 4 brought us a whole new batch of couples navigating the ups and downs of international love. We saw Americans packing their bags to start a new life with their partners in foreign countries, with all the usual challenges of culture clashes, visa issues, and, of course, the ever-present meddling of family members. Let's take a closer look at each couple and where their stories led them.
Kris & Jeymi:
Starting strong with the most controversial couple, Kris and Jeymi. Their relationship began online, with Kris, from the US, deciding to move to Colombia to be with Jeymi. The initial spark was undeniable, but cracks quickly started to show. Kris's health issues, her family's disapproval, and the distance between them took a toll. The communication challenges were very evident, and their relationship status remains a hot topic, with plenty of rumors circulating. Their journey showed the extreme highs and lows that can happen when your partner lives a world away, and you have health complications on top of all the already existing problems.
Jen & Rishi:
Jen and Rishi's storyline was another fan favorite, and it's easy to see why. Jen, a free-spirited woman from the US, went to India to be with Rishi, who was hiding their relationship from his family. This was where the bulk of their drama existed, making it super interesting to watch. The cultural differences created massive communication gaps, which made their relationship harder than it needed to be. The major problem here was Rishi's family, who weren't aware that the pair were engaged. This led to some dramatic confrontations and a lot of uncertainty about their future. Their story was a real test of whether love could conquer all, especially when the cultural gap was as big as the ocean between them.
Debbie & Oussama:
Debbie and Oussama's story was a wild ride from the start. Debbie, the eccentric American, moved to Morocco to be with the much younger Oussama, who was an aspiring artist. The age gap was, of course, a huge point of contention. Many were skeptical of Oussama's motives. The cultural differences led to all sorts of misunderstandings and hilarious situations. Their relationship was a rollercoaster of emotions, with plenty of drama, laughter, and head-scratching moments. It made for great TV!
Gabriel & Isabel:
Gabriel and Isabel's storyline offered a more hopeful outlook. Gabriel, a transgender man from the US, moved to Colombia to be with Isabel, and her family. Their relationship was more of a heartwarming love story. Their journey highlighted the importance of acceptance, family, and being true to yourself. They had to deal with the cultural differences between the US and Colombia, but their love helped them overcome these hurdles.
Patrick & Thais:
Patrick and Thais returned for another season, bringing more drama to the table. Patrick, the American, and Thais, from Brazil, were dealing with the aftermath of their wedding. There were major financial issues, and their relationship was tested by trust issues. They provided many tense moments, and showed the impact of the huge cultural differences between them. Their journey was filled with ups and downs, but in the end, they managed to grow even closer together.
Tyray & Carmella:
Tyray's story was one of the most unexpected twists of the season. He was catfished by a woman named Carmella. Tyray never got to meet her in person. It was a heart-wrenching story that had viewers on the edge of their seats. It was a reminder of the dangers of online dating. Their story was a cautionary tale about the importance of being cautious and verifying who you are talking to online.
The Biggest Moments and What We Learned
Season 4 was packed with unforgettable moments, from explosive arguments to heartwarming declarations of love. Let's revisit some of the biggest highlights and the lessons we can take away.
Communication is Key:
This is a lesson that every couple struggled with, in one way or another. Whether it was due to language barriers, cultural differences, or simply a lack of understanding, communication problems were a constant source of conflict. Couples who learned to communicate effectively, listen to each other, and express their feelings honestly were much more likely to succeed. But, in this case, it was a very hard situation to be in, and that resulted in many breakdowns in communication.
Cultural Differences Can Make or Break a Relationship:
The cultural differences were a major hurdle for many couples. From differing family dynamics to contrasting expectations about roles and traditions, these differences created significant tension. Couples who embraced these differences, learned to respect each other's cultures, and found ways to blend their lives were able to navigate the challenges more smoothly.
Family is a Factor:
Family played a huge role in the lives of many couples. Some couples had the support and approval of their families, while others faced intense opposition. Family dynamics, whether good or bad, heavily influenced the couples’ relationship. This highlights the importance of open communication with families, setting boundaries, and ensuring that everyone is on board with the relationship.
Trust and Honesty Are Essential:
Trust was a major issue for some couples, especially when there were secrets or hidden agendas. Honesty and transparency were crucial for building a solid foundation. Couples who were able to be open and honest with each other had a much better chance of weathering the storms.
Love Can Conquer, But It Takes Work:
Season 4 proved that love can conquer many obstacles, but it requires work, dedication, and a willingness to compromise. Couples who were truly committed to making their relationships work put in the effort, communicated effectively, and navigated challenges together. It wasn't an easy path for many, but some couples showed us that, with hard work, love can indeed overcome cultural differences, family disapproval, and other hurdles.
Predictions and What's Next?
So, what's next for our favorite couples? It's always fun to speculate, and I have a few predictions!
Will Kris and Jeymi survive?
This is the biggest question mark. Their relationship was a complete mess this season, so it’s hard to imagine them working things out. It's likely that they will go their separate ways, but you never know with these two! It would take a miracle for them to stay together.
Can Jen and Rishi make it work?
Rishi's family was very unaccepting, but if Rishi stands up for their relationship, there may be a chance for a reconciliation, and they might make it work. It would be a huge step for Rishi to go against his family’s wishes, but true love could win out in the end.
Will Debbie and Oussama last?
It’s hard to tell with these two! They have a lot of passion and drama, but there's a huge age gap, and many red flags. There might be some more ups and downs, but it will be interesting to see if they can work things out.
What about Gabriel and Isabel?
Gabriel and Isabel seem to have built a strong relationship, so it's most likely that they will continue to thrive. They've already faced a lot of challenges, and they seem to have developed a very special bond.
Will Patrick and Thais make it through?
Patrick and Thais seem to have a lot of issues, which could potentially tear them apart. However, with the right effort, and communication, it's possible that they might make it work. Their future is uncertain, but it depends on the effort and commitment they put into the relationship.
Will Tyray find love?
The online dating world is very tricky, but hopefully, Tyray will be more cautious in the future, and find true love. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for him, and if he’ll find love.

Season 4 of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way was a wild ride filled with drama, love, and plenty of lessons learned.
