90 Day Fiancé’s 5 Messiest Love Triangles Ranked — Do You Agree With #1?

90 Day Fiancé has given us hundreds of couples, but every so often a third person crashes the party — and turns a love story into a full-blown disaster. We revisited the messiest romantic entanglements in franchise history and ranked them from awkward to absolutely nuclear. Fair warning: our No. 1 pick is going to start fights in the comments.

#5: Sean, Abby, and the Ex Who Would Not Leave (Before the 90 Days, Season 1)

On paper, the triangle between 47-year-old Sean Hiler, 20-year-old Abby St. Germain, and Abby’s 64-year-old ex Chris sounds like the messiest thing ever filmed. But there was no real cheating here — just painfully awkward boundaries. In one infamous interview moment, Abby accidentally called out her ex’s name instead of Sean’s. Mortifying, but compared to the rest of this list, a slip of the tongue is almost wholesome. The age gaps were shocking, yet nobody crossed the point of no return. No. 5 it is.

#4: Catie, Josh, and… Basically Everyone (Season 12)

Catie Norboe and Joshua Atkins did not have a classic triangle — they had a triangle with the whole room. According to reports, Catie had a habit of kissing other people whenever she drank too much, and fans split into two camps: Josh tolerated it because he wanted a green card, or it was just drunken bad judgment with no real feelings involved. The lack of a single clear villain keeps this one at No. 4 — messy, but more chaotic-neutral than chaotic-evil.

#3: Laura, Birkan, and the Best Friend Who Got Too Close (Before the 90 Days, Season 8)

This is the one that makes you cringe through your fingers. Laura’s close friendship with best friend Michal crossed a line when she reportedly tried to kiss him — and Birkan did not hide his jealousy. The confrontation played out on camera, and you could feel the room’s temperature drop. The couple eventually split for other reasons, according to reports, but once a best friend becomes the third point of the triangle, trust never fully comes back. No. 3.

#2: Stephanie, Ryan, and His Own Cousin (Season 8)

Stephanie Davison slept with Harris Flowers — Ryan Carr’s own cousin — during a break, then got back together with Ryan like it was no big deal. Ryan forgave her but cut off his cousin completely, which says everything about how deep that wound went. Then, years later, Stephanie claimed the whole thing was only “2 percent true,” according to reports — which only made fans angrier. You do not get to rewrite family history after it aired on national television. No. 2, and it was almost No. 1.

#1: Matt, Amani, and Any — The Throuple That Broke the Format (Season 11)

Nothing in 90 Day Fiancé history matches the chaos of Matt and Amani Jlassi’s throuple. After ten years of marriage, they opened their relationship, met Any Aguirre in Mexico, and became the franchise’s first three-person romance. Then came the K-1 visa — designed for exactly two people — and Any reportedly favored one partner to marry, detonating the arrangement. A throuple trying to survive immigration paperwork is reality TV’s perfect storm. Per Swooon, Matt and Amani are still together, but the throuple did not survive. Unbeatable at No. 1.

Now It Is Your Turn: Who Wins the Messiest Crown?

Our ranking, one more time: 1. Matt, Amani and Any — 2. Stephanie, Ryan and Harris — 3. Laura, Birkan and Michal — 4. Catie and Josh — 5. Sean, Abby and Chris. Was Stephanie’s cousin betrayal worse than a throuple imploding over a visa? Or does Catie’s drunken-kiss-everyone era deserve the crown? Drop your re-ranked list in the comments — and keep it civil. Mostly.
