Deavan from Salt Lake City, UT, was 22 years old when she met Jihoon, a 29-year-old mobile phone dealer from South Korea, on a dating app.
Jihoon gushed about how Deavan appeared to be a Korean guy's "fantasy" given she's a model who posted sexy, dark and edgy photos.
The pair used translating apps to have conversations and apparently began talking to each other every day for three months. They fell in love, and so Jihoon made plans to travel to America and meet her in person.
The trip was also significant because Jihoon would be meeting Deavan's "rambunctious" three-year-old girl named Drascilla, who was born in August 2015, according to Starcasm.
But Deavan and Jihoon definitely hit it off, and his trip to America ended with the pair sleeping together, which resulted in Deavan getting pregnant.
The couple found out she was expecting after six positive pregnancy tests confirmed their suspicions on the day he was leaving to return to South Korea in 2018.
After Jihoon returned to South Korea, he told Deavan they should get married.
Deavan then visited Jihoon in South Korea for about a week in November 2018 to meet his parents, Hong Ju and Jung, and try to gain a better understanding of Korean culture.
However, Jihoon's parents apparently weren't happy when they found out she was pregnant, as Deavan was a single mom with tattoos who never graduated from college.

RELATED LINK: '90 DAY FIANCE' COUPLES NOW"I don't know if his parents were avoiding me, but we never had time to sit down and discuss anything, so I never got their blessing. I just left Korea feeling like I'm not good enough for their son in their eyes," Deavan explained.
In her 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way introduction, Deavan explained she was seven months pregnant with Jihoon's baby and planned to move to South Korea with Drascilla once the new baby was seven weeks old so they could all be together.
Jihoon, however, hadn't formally proposed yet because they needed to prove to his parents they were truly in love. If Jihoon's parents determined Deavan wasn't good enough for their son and they didn't like her, Deavan said she wouldn't be able to marry Jihoon.
Later on in the season, Jihoon returned to America with his parents for a one-week stay in order to get to know Deavan better while they all stayed together in a rental house she had found for them in Las Vegas.
Deavan hoped the meeting would result in Jihoon's parents giving their blessing to the marriage, because she said she wouldn't move to South Korea without a commitment.
"In Korean culture, having a baby out of wedlock can bring dishonor to Korean culture. And if we're not able to get married, I can't obtain a spousal visa. Therefore, I couldn't live in Korea," Deavan explained to the cameras.
When Jihoon's parents arrived, there were some bumps in the road, but Deavan insisted Jihoon and her family were her priority and she had Jihoon's best interest at heart.
Jihoon's parents therefore warmed up to Deavan and eventually gave Jihoon a green light to propose.

Before Jihoon left the United States, he proposed marriage during a romantic lunch in Las Vegas. Jihoon made some mistakes and was a bit clumsy, but Deavan insisted the moment was everything she had dreamed of and more.
Jihoon planned to return to America in two months, but Deavan hoped the baby wouldn't be born sooner than that so she could have her fiance by her side.
Jihoon felt "tremendous remorse" for leaving his pregnant fiancee behind, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Jihoon then booked a flight back to America for Deavan's scheduled section; however, Deavan learned the baby must come early because her blood pressure was really high, in the 170s, which was "extremely dangerous."
Deavan explained the baby needed to be taken out early or else she could die -- and the baby could die as well.
Deavan asked Jihoon to change his ticket and fly back to the United States earlier, but he admitted it was too expensive and he couldn't make that happen.
Jihoon therefore refused to purchase a new ticket, which frustrated Deavan because she had previously asked him not to buy a ticket at all in case the baby came early.

Deavan was upset because Jihoon was going to miss the birth of their son. She expected him to be there for such a huge moment in her life and therefore began to question his commitment to their relationship.
On the morning of Deavan's C-section, she was feeling extremely nervous and anxious, especially because Jihoon couldn't be there.
The pair had agreed to video chat so Jihoon could at least see the birth of his son, but it was hard and "heartbreaking" for Deavan.

The surgery took about six minutes total and the doctors said Deavan and Jihoon's baby was "big," "handsome" and "so perfect."
"No language in the world can interpret what I'm feeling right now," Jihoon said in tears. "I'm happy but heartbroken at the same time. I regret not being there."
Jihoon's parents were thrilled to be grandparents, and Deavan noted she felt an immediate, overwhelming sense of love when she saw her son for the first time.
Two weeks after her son Taeyang was born, Deavan found it extremely tough without having Jihoon around.
Parenting also started out rocky because one of Taeyang's lungs wasn't fully developed at the time of his premature birth and so he spent some time in the neonatal intensive care unit.
Deavan said it was "so hard" not being able to hold her son when he was being treated and she really needed Jihoon there.

However, Jihoon was on his way to the United States and was so excited to finally meet his baby. Jihoon hoped he'd be a good father, but he didn't really know what to do or expect.
When Deavan and Jihoon were reunited, Jihoon held his son for the first time. He apologized to Deavan for not being around and felt guilty for having stayed in Korea as long as he did.
Deavan said there were times when she was "extremely angry" at Jihoon for missing the birth, but when her family was finally together, she just enjoyed the moment.
Jihoon had a lot to learn when it came to taking care of a newborn, considering he had never even changed a diaper before.

Deavan planned to move to South Korea about six weeks later so she could obtain a passport for him. Deavan hoped Jihoon would make all of the necessary preparations in the meantime.
Deavan said when she first got pregnant, Jihoon offered to send her money to help, but that never ended up happening. Deavan said the financial burden fell on her shoulders and she wasn't sure whether she could rely on him to support their family financially going forward.
While at the park with Drascilla and their newborn, Jihoon, however, revealed to Deavan he had quit his job. Jihoon explained he wanted to make more money and his financial situation was not good.
Jihoon apparently had a lot of credit card debt from when he was younger, and Deavan was extremely worried and "pissed off." Deavan thought about canceling her plans to move to South Korea, but it wasn't even possible because she had already quit her job and made arrangements.

Jihoon's "lack of financial responsibility" really worried Deavan, especially since he had nine months while she was pregnant to save for a baby.
Jihoon told Deavan not to worry and their future would be bright, but Deavan was sick of hearing "trust me" and said she needed things to happen.
"I am leaving so much behind. Everything I have established here in America is going to be gone when I move to South Korea [in a month]," Deavan said in a confessional.
Jihoon could tell Deavan no longer trusted him, but he was confident he could make a lot of money. He was an optimistic guy and had high hopes for their future.
Deavan truly loved Jihoon but worried he wasn't grown up enough to realize how serious everything was.
The time then finally came for Deavan to move to South Korea and start a new life in a completely different world.

Deavan expected Jihoon to have landed a full-time job and an apartment for them, but he was still living in his parents' house and knew Deavan would be disappointed in him.
In addition to that, Jihoon was late picking up his fiancee at the airport.
Deavan thought they'd be staying at his parents' house for one night, but then Jihoon broke the news they'd be staying there for a few months. Jihoon said he was working a "delivery" job but needed more time to save money.
Deavan was so upset Jihoon was unprepared, as he had months to plan for her arrival and save money. She said Jihoon's behavior was "unacceptable."
Deavan couldn't believe she'd be forced to stay in Jihoon's parents' home considering it only had one bedroom and his parents slept on the couch. There wasn't enough room for Deavan, her baby and Drascilla, and Deavan told the cameras this situation wasn't fair to Jihoon's parents or to herself.
Even Jihoon's parents demanded he find a new place of his own and grow up.
But Jihoon still considered himself "a childish boy." He let Deavan sleep in his bed and said he'd sleep on the floor, but Deavan noted that's exactly why they couldn't stay there.
Deavan didn't understand why Jihoon didn't have any savings.
"I'm keeping big secret about my money management. If I tell Deavan, the relationship [will be] over and Deavan [will] leave me," Jihoon told the cameras.
Deavan said her first night in Jihoon's parents' house was "extremely cramped" and didn't come close to reaching her expectations.
Not only did Jihoon fail to wake up to help Deavan with their son, but she woke up to him cuddling on the couch with his dog instead. Deavan wanted Jihoon to care more about his son than his dog.

Deavan didn't look forward to staying with Jihoon's parents for a few months, especially because there was a language barrier and so she didn't know what his parents thought about her half the time.
Deavan wondered if she was stuck at Jihoon's parents' home because he was struggling financially, and she was desperate to learn the truth.
Jihoon then took Deavan to the fish market and she was really excited to get out and get some fresh air.
While enjoying lunch, Jihoon insisted he was making money -- $4,000 a month -- but he was new at his job.
Deavan said that's plenty of money to rent an apartment, but then Jihoon revealed he had absolutely no money saved.
Deavan wondered how that was possible, and that's when Jihoon shared how he was in debt from doing an "illegal thing" a few years ago. Jihoon apparently owed $30,000 at first, but at the time of their conversation, he had his debt down to $5,000.
Jihoon said he used to sell used and lost phones, but Deavan pointed out if a phone was lost, that's stealing. Police therefore fined Jihoon $50,000. He took out a loan to pay the fine and said because of interest, the amount had doubled.
"If I told you, you would not marry me," Jihoon told his fiancee.
Deavan said Jihoon should have told her this before she had made the decision to move to South Korea. Because of Jihoon's illegal activity and his lying about it, Deavan immediately lost all trust in him.
"That's not the ideal life or dad I wanted for my children," Deavan said in a confessional. "For him to not take that seriously, I think I made a big mistake."
So did Deavan dump Jihoon and decide to return to the United States or are they still together?

On September 13, Deavan posted a photo of a giant ice cream sunday and captioned it, "Date night yummy #90dayfiance #90dayfiancetheotherway #datenight #icecream #southkorea #korea."
On August 30, Deavan appeared to post a photo from her wedding day with Jihoon. She captioned it, "Thank you for 100,000 followers we appreciate your love and support so much thank you everyone #90dayfiance #90dayfiancetheotherway #southkorea @jihoonlee90dv."
She also shared a photo of Drascilla and Jihoon that day, saying her man and daughter "play a video game together" every night.
However, she clarified the next day she and Jihoon had just participated in a wedding photo shoot and the wedding photo was not from their actual wedding day.
"Hi I'm running out of photos lol time to break out the camera and phone just a photoshoot we haven't had a wedding #90dayfiance #90dayfiancetheotherway @jihoonlee90dv," Deavan wrote alongside an image.
Deavan introduced her son Taeyang Lee to the world in August after the birth aired on 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way, but according to Starcasm, she actually gave birth in April.
"Having him home with me makes me so happy. He is always smiling and has completely stolen my heart!" Deavan told Us Weekly last month, referring to how Taeyang had spent some time in the NICU in the hospital.

Deavan appeared to stay in America for a while after giving birth, as she had posted photos of herself caring for the newborn at home.
Deavan didn't initially post any photos of the baby's face, but she did share a couple cute photos in which Drascilla was taking on her role as big sister. (The baby's face was covered up).
"Drascilla is such a big help," Deavan captioned one photo.
On August 17, she posted an Instagram photo for a "Happy 100 Days" party she appeared to hold for Taeyang in South Korea.
About a week later, on August 25, Devan also posted a photo showing her eating a Korean dinner at a restaurant with Jihoon and tagged it "#Southkorea."
Deavan had also suggested she was in South Korea on August 1 when she posted a photo of a Korean restaurant and captioned it, "Yummy get in my belly."
On July 22, she also posted a photo of her engagement ring and labeled it "happy engagement day."
She also posted Polaroids of Jihoon and herself in late July, adding heart and flower emojis to her Instagram post.
On July 20, Deavan revealed she and Jihoon set up a YouTube channel for themselves called "Junnyvanny." But she noted at the time they were still long distance.
The couple also apparently had breakfast together on July 10 and took a selfie just a couple of days earlier.
Deavan and Jihoon's relationship has seemingly been going strong for a while now.

Jihoon was seemingly slamming trolls who have criticized Drascilla's rambunctious behavior as shown on 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way.

Is there something wrong with the child? Let's not attack the child. She's still three years old, and she's a baby," Jihoon captioned the images.
"She only lived for three years. Can you judge her life? Children should grow up to love only by listening to beautiful words. Children always grow up. I don't think a wise adult would do that. We always thank you for you guys love."
On June 22, Jihoon posted a family photo featuring Deavan, Drascilla and himself, but it's unclear when exactly the photo was taken.
