Many fans of the show thought that Rebecca met Abe while filming. Since the show made it seem like they were meeting each other for the first time.
But it looks like that isn’t the truth. Rebecca recently revealed that she knew Abe before going on the show.
She said that he worked for her uncle. One day, she was at her uncle’s house, and Abe was there. However, they didn’t talk at the time.
Abe Schmucker was also in the same youth group as her. And that is when the Return to Amish reality stars started talking and became friends.
But production showed them turn their friendship into a relationship, and the pair eventually became husband and wife.
Rebecca Schmucker Upset with TLC Production
Rebecca Schmucker is no longer a part of the series. But fans were curious if she knew any of the new cast members.
The TLC former castmate didn’t watch the latest season. So, she doesn’t even know who was on it. She also doesn’t plan on returning to the show.
The Return to Amish celeb doesn’t seem so happy with how production framed her and Abe Schmucker’s story.
A fan asked if Rebecca was upset that the show made viewers think she met her husband on it. She said, “yes.” Her biggest complaint was that “a lot of things were not told correctly.”
According to Rebecca, the cast members had no control over what production did with the footage.
She felt it was like “selling yourself to a company” and letting them say and do what they want with your story. And that affected not only the cast but their family members that were still Amish.
Where is the Return to Amish Couple Now?
Rebecca Schmucker’s lived with Abe Schmucker in the English world for over a decade. The Return to Amish couple has made a great life for themselves and their two daughters.
Since appearing on the series, she passed her GED. Abe also got a job working as a truck driver. But it seems like he is no longer on the road.
Rebecca recently revealed that Abe isn’t driving around the country anymore. She said that he now has a local job.
She feels that it “has been a huge blessing” for her and the family. They even live on the same property as her in-laws, Mary Schmucker and Chester Schmucker.
