90 Day Fiance Happily Ever After: Kobe Blaise Has Concerns about Emily

On 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After, Kobe Blaise and Emily Bieberly are raising two cute kiddos and still living in her parents basement. With his days of being an underwear model a distant memory, Kobe is working and they are saving to get a place of their own. Emily too misses her days of globe trotting with wild abandon. Nevertheless the couple seem content raising their kids and enjoying dinner with her parents. And of course sneaking in a quickie when possible.

The whole family prepares to travel to Cameroon to meet Kobe’s family on 90 Day Fiance. Kobe Blaise admits he’s got some concerns. It’s not common for men in his country to leave and marry an American. Cultural differences aside, he’s worried that Emily Bieberly’s bossy personality could be unsettling to his family. Since women there take a more submissive role. He asks that she considers taking her bossy level down a notch. But you just know that’s probably not going to happen.

Ashley is now moonlighting as a spinning instructor in addition to her full time job of practicing witch. Manuel attends one of her cycling classes and accuses his wife of trying to kill him. He makes it through and she gives him a shout out in front of the whole class.

Later, Ashley and Manuel hit up a small fair with her family. Manuel smirks and admits to production that he stresses out when they are all speaking English. Ashley suggests he could try learning it. But he blames her for not teaching him. Ashley is concerned that she still hasn’t met Manuel’s teenaged children. Her mom and sister think he’s hiding things and want to know if they should hire a private investigator. But Manuel Velas assures them he’s just waiting for the right time.

The boat is part of their honeymoon at a campground. While Jasmine wishes they could be on a yacht, she’s willing to give the budget honeymoon a shot. She claims to get an infection down under just from looking at the campground showers. But isn’t averse to gnawing on feet. Ok.

On 90 Day Fiance, in the latest round of Jasmine’s favorite game “what Gino doesn’t know” she admits she’s had trouble getting pregnant in the past. After pitching a tent, they roast marshmallows. And Jasmine Pineda clearly enjoys one for the first time. She also badgers Gino Palazzolo for a new house. But he shoots her down saying she’s not even pregnant yet. And he’s unemployed. So the current house will have to do. Of course that’s not a good enough answer for her.
