They Were Supposed to Split: 4 90 Day Fiancé Couples Still Together in 2026

This week, the 90 Day Fiancé fandom has been served wedding fever and controversy rankings in equal measure. But here’s a story the drama-chasers keep forgetting: some of these couples actually make it. No tell-all tears, no divorce filings — just two people still choosing each other.

We checked in on four couples fans once wrote off completely. Every single one is still standing. Here’s the status check.

Paola & Russ Mayfield — The 13-Year Comeback Nobody Saw Coming

Season 3 of 90 Day: The Last Resort nearly ended them. Paola told the cameras she had fallen out of love, admitted she felt nothing for Russ anymore, and by the time the Tell All wrapped, the two were reportedly “temporarily separate.” Fans braced for divorce papers.

Then October happened. A fan ran into the couple together at Durango Casino in Las Vegas — and according to reports, Paola and Russ then stepped out to celebrate 13 years of marriage. Russ ditched his infamous necklace habit and presented Paola with a custom ring engraved with the number 13. The fan who spotted them described both stars as “warm and genuine” — Paola kind, Russ quiet and shy. Paola hasn’t confirmed anything outright (when the fan’s mom asked about the split, she just smiled and said to watch the final Tell All). But 13 years and a matching Vegas appearance say plenty.

Vanja & Tony — Spotted, Smiling, and Still Going Strong

Nobody had this couple on their bingo card. Tony went from “controlling” red-flag discourse to… still here. This week, blogger Shabooty posted a photo of the two leaving an Aziz Ansari comedy show in Orlando — Vanja in a pink outfit, Tony walking close beside her.

The sighting backs up what Vanja told fans in July: they’re still going strong, but no ring and no house yet. (She even pranked the internet on April Fool’s Day with a fake “we eloped” post.) Her cousin Sanela’s Tell All warning about Tony’s temper hasn’t aged out of the conversation, but Vanja calls him “her person” and keeps choosing him. Fans who once wished the romance was staged are slowly admitting: this one looks real.

Sam & Citra — Quietly Silencing the Divorce Rumors

Season 10 threw everything at them — an addiction confession, family pressure, a one-night-stand reveal. They married anyway in September 2023 and welcomed daughter Aeris in 2024. The divorce rumors never fully died, so the couple started answering directly: on TikTok, they told followers they’re “still strong together.”

In September 2026, Citra posted from Rocky Mountain National Park, seated beside Sam by a mountain lake. The parenting content keeps coming, the rumor-squashing keeps working, and the two have even floated relocating out of the U.S. — a big tell that they’re planning a future, not an exit.

Danny & Amy Frishmuth — The Franchise’s Quietest Success Story

No spinoffs, no feuds, no tell-all meltdowns. Married since October 2014, four kids (Jedidiah, Anna, Willow, and Sela Joy), ordained as pastors at their Fort Worth church in 2024, and a marriage podcast that ran from 2022 to 2024. Danny keeps his Instagram private; Amy posts occasional family and faith updates. For Father’s Day 2025, she called Danny the family’s hero. They’ve never chased the spotlight — which might be exactly why they kept the marriage.

Your Turn: Which Comeback Surprised You Most?

Four couples, four different definitions of “making it work.” Was it Paola and Russ’s 13th-anniversary glow-up that shocked you, or Vanja refusing to give up on Tony? And the spicier question: which of these four do you actually believe will still be together next year? Drop your prediction in the comments — and be honest about which one you once bet against.
