For over ten years, TLC has delved into the complexities of cross-border romances with 90 Day Fiancé. Many couples have graced the screens of the original series and its numerous spin-offs, such as 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, and 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. This phenomenon began in 2014 with four original couples who opened their lives to the cameras. But where are these initial cast members now? Let’s catch up with the Season 1 stars as of 2026.
Russ and Paola Mayfield
Russ, hailing from Oklahoma, met Paola during his work stint in Colombia. The couple tied the knot in 2013 and later welcomed their son, Axel. Their journey hasn’t been without its challenges, including a brief split in 2021 after Russ lost his job amid the pandemic, forcing them to live in an RV, according to ET. Nevertheless, they reconciled and remain together. Since her time on 90 Day Fiancé, Paola has pursued a career in wrestling with Women of Wrestling.
In October 2025, Russ and Paola marked their 12th wedding anniversary.
“12 years of love, growth, and grace. I cherish every moment with you,” Russ expressed on Instagram. “Here’s to laughter, forgiveness, and a love that endures.”
Alan and Kirlyam Cox
Alan and Kirlyam’s story began in Brazil, where they met during his mission trip when she was 12 and he was 20. Their romance sparked years later when Alan returned for a wedding. Kirlyam moved to the U.S., and in 2017, they welcomed their first child, a son named Liam. Their family grew with the arrival of their second son, Enzo, in 2021. Celebrating their 12th wedding anniversary in September 2025, Alan shared his joy on Instagram.
