Just a post so that everyone can see Daniels biological father. He was a good person with an amazing heart and so many people who loved him, myself included. He gave me the greatest gift, my son. Roger was not involved in Daniels life but asked me about him he never disappeared from our life, he was just never ready to be a dad. We never planned to have a child but it happened I was ready to face it as unprepared as I was, he was never prepared and I accepted that. I never said one negative thing to Daniel about him, I made sure Daniel knew his biological dad was a good kind person. Roger passed away in October 2018 he was trying to break up a fight between two people at his workplace and was shot in the head. It is a hard reality to face, but it happened. He left this earth with honor doing something selfless.We loved him, we love him. He is always with us❤️ we love you Roger, we love u butta. @jwi_xo

And, even though she moved on with Ronald Smith, it’s clear she hasn’t forgotten about Roger.

Even with some relationship hurdles, Ronald definitely steps into that role on 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way. She faced criticism for bringing her young son with her to a foreign country. But, so far everything seems to be working out.
