90 Day Fiance Stars Who Need Their Own Spinoff

TLC's "90 Day Fiancé" has become one of the most-watched shows on television, ranking in the top 100 shows of 2022-2023 alongside other hits like "Yellowstone" and "Survivor." It's easy to understand why so many people love the "90 Day Fiancé" series — it features all the perfect ingredients to create the ideal reality TV recipe, including long-distance love, awkward first-time meetings, tear-jerking struggles and, most of all, a whole lot of drama.

Another reason the show has become so ubiquitous is due to its many spinoffs; currently, there are dozens of spinoffs and counting. Some of those spinoffs, like "The Family Chantel" and "Darcey and Stacey," are entirely devoted to a person or couple featured in the original series. And while some of our favorite "90 Day" stars have landed their own spinoffs, we'd still love to see quite a few more given the opportunity to headline their own shows.

If there's one "90 Day Fiancé" couple that has really dropped off the radar, it's Season 3 alums Mark and Nikki Shoemaker. Fans will remember how Mark demonstrated some controlling behavior towards Nikki while they were being filmed, like not allowing her to touch the windows of his car. Nikki was also just 19 when they began dating, while Mark was 58. Age gaps are very common on "90 Day," but that's one of the largest age gaps in the show's history.

In March 2022, Mark filed for divorce, claiming Nikki had "committed adultery." Then, a year later, the divorce was dismissed. In legal documents, Mark said the situation was "extremely private" and indicated that adultery was not entirely accurate. In a statement provided to In Touch in March 2023, Mark wrote, "WE ARE NOT DIVORCED!!! WE ARE NOT SEPARATED AND NEVER WERE!!! OUR MARRIAGE IS NOT DISSOLVED!!!"

At this point, we'd like to know what exactly is going on — and a spin-off would provide all the answers. Is Mark still not allowing Nikki to touch his car windows or rearrange his bookshelves? Has Nikki made friends or gotten a job since moving to America? We'd love to see these two return to the big screen and provide some long-awaited updates.

"90 Day Fiancé" fans loved Josh and Aleksandra's relationship, since the young couple, who were 22 and 21 years old upon first meeting, respectively, seemed to share a genuine connection and love for one another. Aleksandra even converted to Josh's Mormon religion, giving up her previous wild lifestyle. Aleksandra moved to the U.S. to be with Josh, and the two married in 2015, having their first child, a baby girl named Kaya, in 2016.

This couple seems to share a cute and heartwarming relationship, but once they had their daughter, rumors started flying about Aleksandra cheating on Josh because Kaya appears to be mixed race, while both Aleksandra and Josh are white. At least, they both appear white — Aleksandra's biological father is Cuban, which could explain their daughter's darker complexion and curly hair type. Despite this explanation, rumors continue to fly, years after the couple left TLC; the couple continues to deny that Aleksandra cheated on Josh. 

It makes sense that they want to avoid the gossip and rumors that will inevitably come with being on TV, but at the same time, it would be interesting to catch up with the couple and see how their lives are going these days. One thing is for certain: the pair is still going strong in their relationship and seem to be doing well in life in general. From what we can see from her Instagram, Aleksandra is staying busy as a nursing student, while Josh is on his way to becoming a doctor.

"90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days" Season 4 introduced us to David Murphey, who had a seven-year online relationship with a mysterious Ukrainian woman named Lana, whom he had sent thousands of dollars to but had never met. Many viewers believed Lana was a catfish out for David's money but found as the season progressed that Lana was (shockingly) real. Not only was she real, but she was down to get married: when David proposed on the show, she said yes.

However, that didn't last long. According to David, the couple stopped communicating entirely four months into their engagement because Lana wanted to continue talking to other men on international dating apps (via ET). But David seemed relatively unbothered by the whole situation; according to ET, he had other options. On "90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days," he said, "When you're doing this international thing, you've got to have multiple irons in the fire. So if this doesn't work then it's like, next, you know? ... If I was dating women here, would I be dating five or six women at the same time? Oh, of course not," he said. "But when you're talking online, you have to." Needless to say, we're craving to see more of David's dating adventures!

Olga and Steven were a refreshing "90 Day Fiancé" couple since they were sort of drama-free — aside from Steven's attitude problems — but many things have changed in their lives in the years following their time on Season 6 of "90 Day Fiance." The couple moved from Maryland, where Steven is from, to New York City, and now have two children together. Olga is focused on her photography career and is building quite an Instagram following, while it looks like Steven is dabbling in modeling and investing, according to his Instagram.

Though the couple appears to be living the dream these days, things weren't always easy. In fact, the couple split up for a year in 2020, but eventually got back together in 2021. According to Steven, the split was due to them going into their relationship and parenting "blindly" and added, "P.S. Don't assume you know the whole story from this one little post" (via In Touch). It seems like these days they're making things work as a couple again, and we'd say they're the perfect candidates for a "90-Day" spinoff. We'd love to see how this cute duo has evolved as a couple, how they handle parenthood, and what it's like living in New York City as a young family.

Although we've only seen a few episodes of Jose on Season 2 of "90 Day Fiance: UK," there appear to be many layers to the Colombian music artist, who single mom Louise goes to visit on the show. Despite the fact that he speaks very little English — while his partner, Louise, speaks very little Spanish — Jose and Louise are hopeful that they can make their relationship work. The two first connected over Instagram, and from there it was history, according to Louise. "There was just something about him that I immediately found very attractive. I loved his style, the way he looked, and his music. I was just drawn to him," Louise said (via The Mirror).

We wish the best for their relationship, but also, we need to know more about Jose. How did he become a rapper? Why does he refer to Louise as "Chicken"? Who is his fashion inspiration (hello, statement earrings!)? Although, as of this writing, we're guessing we'll learn more about Jose as the season progresses, we'd say he has enough personality and intrigue to have his own spin-off.

On Season 3 of "90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days," we meet Avery and Omar, a sweet couple who clearly had a lot of love for one another, but constantly struggled to see each other. Omar, who lived in Syria, struggled repeatedly to get a visa to the United States due to the pandemic and travel bans. In order for Omar to live in the United States, he would have to obtain a special waiver, and a lawyer told Avery on the show that he had "less than [a] 5 percent" chance of getting the waiver to approve his visa (via In Touch).

On TikTok, Avery wrote in a video: "We went through years apart because of US Sanctions. Many people didn't believe we would ever be together. We savored every moment together. Every goodbye was so hard. Only we knew what we were going through. But honey...We made it." According to In Touch, Omar finally got his visa in 2021 and the two moved into a place together in America. After so many years fighting to be together, a spinoff series of their new lives in America would be the perfect way to celebrate their love, if you ask us.
