Published on August 22, 2019, a Kenyan lady named Akinyi has caught the attention of American audiences on the reality TV show 'The 90 Day Fiancé'. She is engaged to Benjamin, a 33-year-old divorced father from Phoenix, Arizona, whom she met through an online dating app.
Benjamin, who has a 5-year-old son from a previous marriage, was struggling to find love when he met Akinyi. The couple's cultural differences are expected to be a major theme on the show, as they navigate their preparations for marriage.
Meanwhile, a previous season of the show featured a 31-year-old Nigerian man named Michael, who was engaged to a 61-year-old American woman named Angela. The couple's age gap was a major concern, but Michael's motivation for marrying Angela was his desire for a better life in America.
However, the couple's relationship was marred by controversy when Angela accused Michael of stealing her money after she sent him to withdraw cash from her bank account. Investigations later revealed that the bank's error was responsible for the wiped account, not Michael's actions.
For those interested in following the couple's journey, 'The 90 Day Fiancé' airs on Sharp channel, previously featured on TLC.
