Meet the couples moving across the world for love in' 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way 'season 7 (exclusive)
How far would you go for love? Six couples are answering that question quite literally in the upcoming seventh season of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way.
A reverse version of 90 Day Fiancé, The Other Way follows a group of Americans as they pack up their bags and move to another country in order to be with their long-distance loves. Entertainment Weekly can exclusively reveal the four new couples (plus two returning fan-favorite pairs) who will find themselves settling down in countries like Colombia, Australia, India, and more when the series premieres on Sept. 8.
'I'm leaving a six-figure job to move to Aruba because I fell in love with a man on a pirate ship,' Chloe confesses in a trailer for the upcoming season, before bursting into laughter.
For other couples, like Anthony and Manon, the move from California to France with their family is necessary to keep their love alive. 'The American dream is actually killing me,' Manon explains. To which Anthony adds, 'So we are moving to France to save our marriage.'
Sparks instantly fly between reunited partners like Pattiya and Dylan, who can be seen kissing and licking each other's faces at the airport. However, cultural differences, unique family dynamics, and the reality of living abroad will soon test all of the couples and their bonds in ways they could've never expected.
And it seems that there's already trouble brewing in paradise. In another clip, Madelein accuses Luke of touching another woman. When he denies the accusation, she asks him if he thinks she's 'f---ing stupid' before smashing a floral dessert all over his face and tearily storming out of the venue. "Oh my God," she cries.
Can their love survive? We'll have to see when 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way premieres Monday, Sept. 8 at 8PM ET/PT on TLC. For now, find out more about the couples below.
Greta (Oklahoma) & Matthew (England)
After meeting on a vegan dating app and bonding over cats and shared quirks, Greta moves to England to begin her life with Matthew in a quiet English village. But with Matthew's parents under the same roof and the challenges of adjusting to living together, their new beginning may be harder than either of them expected.
Anthony (California) & Manon (France)
Married with a toddler and teetering on the edge of burnout, Anthony and Manon move to France in a last-ditch effort to save their marriage. But between clashing family members, mounting financial stress, and zero personal space (yes, they're sharing a bed with their child), this fresh start may bring more pressure than peace. Can they rediscover the spark — or is it already too late?
Pattiya (Texas) & Dylan (Tasmania)
An exotic dancer and her much younger Aussie boyfriend are finally ready to build a life together in Tasmania after more than a decade of on-and-off long-distance love. With a 20-year age gap between them, Pattiya and Dylan face more than just cultural differences. As Pattiya adjusts to a completely new environment, the couple must also navigate Dylan's close relationship with his mother, who lives five minutes away, lingering trust issues, and the realities of merging two very different worlds.
Chloe (Massachusetts) & Johny (Aruba)
Chloe met Johny, a charismatic pirate boat tour guide, while vacationing in Aruba. Now, she's ready to leave her life in Boston behind to be with him full time. As their relationship deepens, Chloe must confront Johny's flirtatious job, her skeptical family and friends, and growing concerns about trust between them.
Jenny (California) & Sumit (India)
After years of cultural clashes, family opposition, and a secret marriage, Jenny and Sumit have finally earned the blessing of Sumit's family, but at a cost. Their once-independent life in India is about to change as they move in with Sumit's parents. With privacy gone and family dynamics front and center, will their hard-won love survive this new chapter?
Luke (California) & Madelein (Colombia)
Luke and Madelein met during a vacation in Colombia and have been inseparable ever since. Now, two years in, Luke is finally making the move, and the couple is planning a lavish wedding with four dresses and zero budget compromises. But with financial stress mounting and trust issues bubbling over, will they make it to the altar — or will the pressure pull them apart?

Trump White House ballroom: A look back at Grand Ballroom Trump built at Mar-a-Lago
Twenty years after the opening of the Grand Ballroom at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Trump announced another new ballroom on a grand scale — this time at the White House. The Trump Administration on July 31 said construction on a $200 million, roughly 90,000-square-foot White House State Ballroom will begin in September. The project will be paid for by donors including Trump and have a seating capacity of 650 people, the White House said. The U.S. Secret Service will oversee security features of the new structure, officials said. "President Trump is a builder at heart and has an extraordinary eye for detail," Chief of Staff Susie Wiles said in a White House news release. "The President and the Trump White House are fully committed to working with the appropriate organizations to preserving the special history of the White House while building a beautiful ballroom that can be enjoyed by future Administrations and generations of Americans to come." The style and architecture of the exterior of the new ballroom will be "almost identical" to the rest of the White House, Trump officials said. The work will include major renovations to the White House's East Wing, where presidents have historically held large receptions. Trump has frequently complained the White House lacks a proper large-scale ballroom for entertaining. While the outside of the new ballroom at what is known as the people's house will feature the same iconic styling as the rest of the property, renderings released by the White House show that the interior style is undoubtedly reminiscent of the Versailles-inspired Donald J. Trump Grand Ballroom that was completed at Mar-a-Lago in late 2004 and had its grand opening in 2005. Here's what to know about Mar-a-Lago's large ballroom and its history. When was Mar-a-Lago completed, and what are some of its features? Construction on Mar-a-Lago began in 1922. The house was designed for cereal heiress Marjorie Meriweather Post in the Spanish-Moorish style by architect Joseph Urban, who also designed the nearby Bath & Tennis Club and the Paramount Theatre farther north in Palm Beach. When completed in 1927 on its 17-acres, the crescent-shaped main house had 115 rooms, with 58 bedrooms and 25 bathrooms. Urban drew on classical designs, looking to the Thousand Winged Ceiling at the Accademia in Venice as inspiration for the 34-foot ceiling in Mar-a-Lago's living room, and the Palazzo Chigi in Rome as inspiration for the hand-painted ceiling in the dining room, according to a 2002 Daily News report about Mar-a-Lago's history. After a major redecoration in 1956, Post added Mar-a-Lago's White and Gold Ballroom as a venue to host to her popular charity events and the square dances for which she was so well-known, according to the 2002 profile. She also added three bomb shelters during the Korean War. What has Trump added to Mar-a-Lago? Trump paid a reported $10 million for Mar-a-Lago in 1985: $5 million for the property itself, an additional $3 million for the furnishings, plus $2 million for the beachfront stretch that years prior was sold to a neighbor. When Mar-a-Lago's club opened in 1995, it had amenities such as a spa, tennis courts and nine-hole golf course. In 2000, construction began on the $3 million beachfront project at Mar-a-Lago that added a new swimming pool, a pair of two-story buildings with cabanas and a snack bar, a spa, fountains, and ramps and stairs down to the beach, the Daily News reported in 2002. In 2004, Trump received approval from Palm Beach to tear down an aging slat house on Mar-a-Lago's property to build a kitchen to help serve the estate's new ballroom, which opened in 2005. Over the years, some of Trump's plans for Mar-a-Lago have been shot down by state and town officials, including a proposal for a 120-slip marina and, before opening the club, a concept that would have subdivided Mar-a-Lago's acreage to build estate homes. What about Mar-a-Lago's Grand Ballroom? The Daily News first reported in 1996 that the National Trust for Historic Preservation was reviewing plans for a new ballroom or expansion of the dance pavilion at Mar-a-Lago. Because Mar-a-Lago is a national landmark, all major changes must be reviewed and approved by the trust. "We're just looking art different concepts, different ideas. It's very preliminary," Trump told the Daily News in 1996. "We need a ballroom because of the success of Mar-a-Lago. It has been so successful that the crowds are potentially hazardous to the facility, and the ballroom could remedy this problem." Mar-a-Lago's team "did a lot of shuttle diplomacy with the National Trust for Historic Preservation," said Wes Blackman, who was Mar-a-Lago's project manager for the ballroom. The trust has easements at Mar-a-Lago, including two to protect the views to the east and west, and one to protect the tree line along the south property line, he said. After Mar-a-Lago opened as a club in 1995, the events coordinator at the time brought Blackman and Trump to the ballroom built by Post and said it would not be able to meet the demand for large events . "There isn't room to put them that is weatherproof," Blackman recalled the coordinator saying. When the ballroom was officially pitched to the town in 1999, it was set to replace a large white tent that Mar-a-Lago had temporarily erected to host large events on the property, Blackman said. Because the structures could not be permanent, air conditioner compressors for events in the tent were placed on trailers, and temporary bathrooms were brought in, he said. The ballroom was "a very large building," he said, with records showing that it was 17,000 square feet, larger than the 11,000-square-foot ballroom built by Post. West Palm Beach-based architect Rick Gonzalez of REG Architects was the lead designer on the project. Blackman said he and Gonzalez took a lot of trips to Washington, D.C., and the trust visited the property as well, as they worked to finalize a design the trust would approve. Together with Gonzalez, Blackman said Mar-a-Lago's team "chased that building all over the property" with the trust until the location was settled. "It's in a hollow, a low spot, and it's behind the wall, and you really have a hard time even knowing the building is there when you pass the property," Blackman said. Before finalizing the architectural plans, Trump sent Gonzalez and Blackman to New York to meet with famed architect Philip Johnson, whose Glass House in Connecticut remains an iconic example of the International Style of design. Johnson, who died in January of 2005, declined to take on the task of designing the new ballroom, which was essentially "locked into the Mediterranean revival framework" because of the rest of the property, Blackman said. "He wasn't into that," Blackman said. "He was in his 'monster phase,' which were a lot of oblique angles, and he wasn't into having to fit into a mold like that." Trump also asked Blackman to consult with another friend: crooner Paul Anka, whom Trump hoped would weigh in on the new ballroom's acoustics. "I did call him," Blackman said. "It was a unique experience." He added that because Trump had already made the decision to have marble floors in the ballroom: "There's nothing you can do with that. It's gonna be a reflective surface," Blackman said of Anka's advice. Trump was adamant that the new ballroom needed to be larger than the 15,000-square-foot Ponce de Leon Ballroom at The Breakers Palm Beach resort, Blackman said. While that was part of the inspiration, he said that Trump also wanted to bring the annual International Red Cross Ball to Mar-a-Lago. Trump was successful, and one of the highlights of Palm Beach's social season soon moved to Mar-a-Lago's Grand Ballroom. "We always thought that it helped getting the National Trust to approve something first, and then that kind of gave us the 'Good Housekeeping' certificate that we could cash in with the Landmarks Commission," Blackman said of the town's approval process. While the project to build the new ballroom received approval from Palm Beach's council in October of 1999, the timeline was pushed back several times because of construction of a new Royal Park Bridge, the Daily News reported in September 2002. The project received final approval from Palm Beach's landmarks board in April of 2002, and construction began the next year, with the building permit issued in August of 2003, Blackman said. While his 10-year tenure with Mar-a-Lago ended soon after receiving the permit, Blackman returned to work on other projects at Mar-a-Lago, including the ballroom's kitchen and the massive flag pole that led to a legal battle between Trump and Palm Beach. What does the Grand Ballroom look like? The exterior of the ballroom building, which is on the property's south side between the main house and Southern Boulevard, was designed by Gonzalez to mimic the Spanish-Moorish style of the rest of the estate, the Daily News reported at the time. But the ballroom's interior was designed with France in mind. The decor drew on Versailles, with shining marble floors, intricate gold leaf designs, crystal chandeliers and soaring 40-foot coffered ceilings. The Daily News reported at the time that the gold leaf alone carried a $7 million price tag, and the overall project cost stood at $35 million. "I modeled the interior after Versailles, and there is nothing like it in the United States," Trump said of the ballroom in a 2005 interview with Florida Design magazine. When it opened, guests were reportedly awestruck by the 17 Stras chandeliers, each with a cost of $250,000 and imported from Czechoslovakia. The first major event in the new ballroom was Mar-a-Lago's annual New Year's Eve Gala to ring in 2005, according to news reports. From a Dec. 31, 2004, Daily News report: "A 1,200-square-foot loggia leads into the two-story foyer through a series of Palladian-style mahogany doors with wrought-iron borders. A staircase leads to a 45-foot observation tower. For New Year's Eve, there will be stages at opposite ends of the ballroom, one for the dance orchestra and one for headliner Vanessa Williams." The next event: a grand party to mark the marriage of Trump to his then-fiancée, Melania Knauss. Their marriage ceremony was Jan. 22, 2005, at the Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea, and celebrants then made the short drive to Mar-a-Lago for the reception. Anka, a guest at the wedding, treated guests to two songs at the reception: "Diana," and a version of the song "Lady Is a Tramp" that Anka dubbed "Donald is a Trump."

29-year-old American left NYC and moved to Istanbul where he started a tourism company that brought in $100,000 last year
In 2017, Doug Barnard, a college student at the time, took a trip to India with his mom. The experience was so impactful that it eventually inspired him to become a full-time traveler—a path he didn't know was possible for him. "Going to India was an eye-opening experience for me. It was the first time I'd been to some place so foreign, so stimulating and for me it was this epiphany that I needed to experience more," Barnard tells CNBC Make It. "The most exciting part was talking to the people and seeing how things work. The immersion was what really got me." Barnard graduated in 2018 and moved to New York City to work for Walmart. At the time, he earned about $60,000 a year working in the e-commerce sector, and though he didn't dislike his job, it certainly wasn't his passion. "I think a part of me was looking for more meaning in my work," he says. While working at Walmart, Barnard started a YouTube channel dedicated to his travels. The first trip he featured on his channel was a visit to Saudi Arabia in 2020. "At the time, Saudi Arabia was kind of this mysterious country from an American perspective, at least. It was closed off for decades and they had just opened for tourism," he says. "Back then, people thought I was crazy. My parents asked me not to go. My grandfather offered to reimburse me. But I went for it and it was awesome." Later that year, Barnard was laid off from job because of the pandemic. While others might have been nervous about being unemployed, Barnard saw it as an opportunity to bet on himself. "My dream was to go travel full time, live abroad, immerse myself in these foreign places and make a living from YouTube." About three months after being laid off, Barnard booked a one-way ticket out of the United States. In January 2021, he arrived in Serbia and then traveled for two years before deciding to make Istanbul, Turkey, his home base in 2023. "Growing up in Connecticut, I never would have imagined that I'd ever end up living in a place like Istanbul or traveling to all the places that I've been lucky enough to travel to," Barnard says. "I found myself coming back to Istanbul again and again. It really is the perfect place for what I'm doing. It is pretty much the center of the world. I love the language, I love the culture, I love the history." His time abroad inspired Barnard to start a boutique tourism company called Doug Barnard Travel. They take small groups of 8 to 10 people on cultural immersion tours of places like Iraq, Syria, and Pakistan. Barnard offers private tours as well. The group tours start at $2,700 per person and what's included in that all-inclusive package can vary country to country. Flights are not included. "It is truly authentic travel. I mean it is as real as it gets. Places like Egypt and India are amazing but they have mass tourism industries and a place like Iraq is so new to tourism that you get a really authentic experience," Barnard says. "The people are excited to have you. The hospitality is out of this world and everything you're seeing is unparalleled." Barnard's YouTube channel helped bring in his tourism company's first clients. Many of the destinations featured in his early videos are where he offers his immersive tours. "A lot of the time, people will assume we're there on business and then once we tell them that we're there as tourists usually people are thrilled," Barnard says. "They're really proud to show off their country. They're really happy to see that foreigners are interested in visiting their country and learning about them." In 2024, Doug Barnard Travel ran a total of five group tours and brought in $100,100 in revenue. Barnard's YouTube channel business brought in an additional $64,029 in revenue, according to documents reviewed by CNBC Make It. That same year, Barnard was able to pay himself a salary of $83,808. In Istanbul, Barnard lives in a two-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom duplex apartment where he and his girlfriend, İlkay, pay 55,000 Turkish Lira or $1,368.91 USD a month. The couple's additional monthly expenses average about 2,000 Turkish Lira, or approximately $50 USD. That includes bills like water, electricity, internet and gas. Barnard says Istanbul is the perfect location for him because so much of his business is in the Middle East. It's one of the main reasons why he doesn't see himself moving back to the U.S. "The more time I spend living in Istanbul and the more people I meet and the better I get at the language the more it feels like home," he says. It's been over four years since Barnard left the U.S. He says that traveling the world has taught him there is so much more to life than being in America. "I think Americans can tend to have this impression in their heads that the whole world hates us that hasn't been my experience," he says. "We're isolated geographically in the western hemisphere over there, and there's so much world to see." 0.02
