The latest entry in the franchise universe sends 90 Day Fiancé fan favourites
There is nothing some people won’t try to find companionship. A collection of single, former 90 Day franchise stars are ready to fall head over heels yet again, this time in Tulum, Mexico. The new reality dating show, 90 Day: Hunt for Love, takes eight hopeless romantics to a tropical resort to see if sparks fly.
The singles looking for love are Tiffany Franco (90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way), Chantel Everett (90 Day Fiancé, The Family Chantel), Colt Johnson (90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?), Rob Warne (90 Day: The Last Resort) and 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days stars Cortney Reardanz, Usman “SojaBoy” Umar and exes Tim Malcolm and Jeniffer Tarazona.
Per TLC, the 90 Day: Hunt for Love cast members “have loved, lost and learned a few lessons along the way,” over a few 90 Day spinoff appearances each. While they all may have split from the partners they joined the franchise with, that hasn’t stopped any of the singles from popping up in other TLC shows, from documenting their dating lives to sharing insights during recap and reunion shows.
The series starts off big, staging a masquerade ball to get the romances rolling, encouraging flirtatious connections among the cast — and the show’s description promises that it will bring the drama: “From flirty first impressions to late-night confessions, expect shocking hook-ups and unexpected pairings.”
Viewers can expect a wild ride. Late-night hot tub make-out sessions, night-vision camera footage of couples getting to know each other and sun-soaked, romantic dates show just how quickly these 90 Day alums can find love if they’re looking for it.
Initial saucy connections may just be too good to be true when lust evolves into greed. Jeniffer has eyes for more than one man at the resort and, as Rob puts it, “All is fair in love and war. Sometimes people get hurt.”
Drinks and tears flow freely and someone will even be carted away in an ambulance. This series has everything that a dating competition show lover could ask for. For even more juice, the companion show, Hunt for Love: Between the Sheets, airs immediately after new episodes of 90 Day: Hunt for Love, with exclusive cast member commentary on the romances in Mexico and extra footage that didn’t make the cut.
The 90 Day: Hunt for Love cast members have been mainstays of TLC’s K-1 visa-centric series, but only one had their own dedicated show all about her (and her former husband). Chantel starred in five seasons of The Family Chantel, which chronicled her life with her Dominican husband, Pedro Jimeno, and their family and friends in Atlanta before the pair filed for divorce in 2022.
Tiffany, who joined the franchise with the first season of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, packed up her life in Maryland when she fell in love on vacation. While staying in South Africa, Tiffany met Ronald, a local. After she moved herself and her son to be with him, the pair married, had a daughter and ultimately separated.
Colt, who has had three relationships — and two marriages — documented through the 90 Day franchise, is now ready to look for love again. First seen in the sixth season of 90 Day Fiancé, Colt married Brazilian model Larissa Dos Santos Lima and divorced seven months later. His latest marriage, to Las Vegas native Vanessa Guerra, lasted three years, but their separation sent him back out on the dating scene and straight to Tulum.
Real estate agent Cortney shared the experience of her short-lived romance with Spanish actor Antonio Millon in the first season of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, before appearing in 90 Day Fiancé: Self-Quarantined with another beau. Now back on the prowl, Cortney may not be looking for lasting love, but she is up for a good time. “I was planning on getting, like, white-girl wasted the whole retreat,” Cortney revealed in the series’ trailer.
Then, there are the exes on the beach! Tim and Jeniffer, who did not work out during the second season of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, are both in Tulum for the new dating show. Rekindling the spark they once shared seems unlikely, but anything is possible with TLC cameras around.
90 Day: The Last Resort was just that for Rob and his estranged wife, Sophie Sierra. The pair split during the show’s recommitment ceremony, proving things between them were over and paving the way for Rob’s path to the new dating show.
Last but not least is the Nigerian hip-hop artist Usman. He was one side of a storied 90 Day love triangle between two American women, both quite a few years his senior. The details of that saga are something to behold, but that’s all in the past now and Usman is ready for love on the beach.
90 Day: Hunt for Love airs Monday, May 26, on TLC
