Kenyan reality TV star Akinyi is making headlines as she appears on the current season of the US reality show 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, which premiered on August 4th, 2019, on the TLC channel.
Akinyi, 25, is engaged to Benjamin, a 33-year-old divorced man from Arizona, USA, and hopes to move to the US, get married, and obtain a green card to live together in the country.
On the show, Akinyi and Benjamin's relationship is introduced as follows: "As a divorced father with a five-year-old, Benjamin wasn’t having much luck with meeting women from his hometown, so he broadened his search and found Akinyi. Benjamin now has his bags packed for his first-ever international trip to meet her in Kenya and ask her parents for her hand in marriage. It won’t be easy, as Benjamin is not only the first boyfriend Akinyi has ever introduced her family, but also—as far as they can remember—the first white man to visit their village."
Other couples featured on Season 3 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days include Avery and Omar, Caesar and Maria, Rebecca and Zied, Timothy and Jeniffer, Angela and Michael, and Darcey and Tom.
