Darcey, a 44-year-old from Middletown, CT, previously starred on Season 2 of Before the 90 Days with her now ex-boyfriend, Jesse Meester from Amsterdam, with whom she had a toxic relationship.
The mother of two insisted she'd never let a man control her or be mean to her again, and she was done with constant bickering and fighting in a relationship.
Darcey therefore moved on with Tom, a 39-year-old distributor for a sports fitness brand from Nottingham, England, who allegedly treated her much better.
Darcey and the "jet-setter" met on Facebook a whopping four years ago.
They had actually planned to meet up in person at the time, but Darcey chose to pursue a romance with Jesse instead. Although Darcey said she remained loyal to Jesse, Tom was apparently always in the back of her mind.
Once Darcey and Tom got to know each other better over the phone and video chat, she found him to be kind and supportive.
Darcey gushed about being in love again, and she felt certain this time would be different considering her dynamic with Tom was healthy and positive.
"With Jesse, it felt like a false love, but I feel Tom is the right one for me," Darcey told the cameras.
Darcey's twin sister Stacey, however, was concerned Darcey was going to take things too fast and get hurt. She accused Darcey of having unrealistic expectations and Tom of not being ready to settle down, but Darcey just wanted everyone to be happy for her.
Darcey said she even had a beautiful ring to prove Tom cared about her, and she wore it on her left hand. (Jesse allegedly blasted her on social media for it being a fake engagement ring).

"I hope Tom is who he says he is in person," Darcey said. I'll guard my heart a little bit, but at the same time, it's open for the real deal."
But Tom had been living a bachelor lifestyle prior to getting romantically involved with Darcey.
Tom claimed he was looking to progress a relationship past the bedroom, but this was apparently unknown territory for him.
Tom said Darcey was romantic and could put a smile on his face in the darkest of days. He thought Darcey was an extremely attractive woman and said he couldn't take her eyes off her.
Tom also helped Darcey get through her breakup with Jesse, which showed him that he really must care for her.
As a result, Tom didn't want to treat Darcey like a one-night stand, and so once she arrived in London, he booked a separate room for her at a hotel.
Tom's sister Emma then revealed Tom had walls up because he had been hurt badly before and he didn't seem ready to settle down.

"I'm not really at the stage of thinking where I'm going to settle down, get married, have kids, and move to her country or have her move here. I'm at the point where I'm meeting someone I've been really good friends with and I'm going to see where it goes," Tom told Emma.

Tom said Darcey lived in "a bit of a fantasy" when it comes to romance and he didn't want to rush things.
"I want to take my time, and I hope she won't be upset by that," Tom said in a confessional.
Darcey and Tom finally met at a restaurant, and he thought she looked even more beautiful than her photos.
Darcey admitted Tom "looked a little different" than his photos, but she was more interested in what he had to offer on the inside rather than the outside.
Tom wasn't sure Darcey was thrilled upon seeing him for the first time in person, but she assured him that he was even better than what she had expected.
Darcey said Tom wasn't exactly fit "like a gym boy," but that's not really what she wanted. She said he had the "it factor" with his handsome looks and good style.
Tom acted like a gentleman during his first few days with Darcey, but she came on very strong and got too emotional at times for Tom's liking.
Darcey also wanted to be intimate sooner than Tom was ready, so she began to wonder whether they were really on the same page.
Tom found Darcey to be "a little difficult to deal with," so he wasn't sure how exactly he wanted to proceed with their relationship.
"I've been seeing other women. But I told them I wouldn't be seeing them anymore," Tom said in a confessional.

Darcey admitted it was "hurtful to hear" Tom had been seeing other women up to a week before her arrival. Tom suggested they were on a trial basis, and then Darcey acknowledged she had assumed "too much, too soon."
Darcey later asked Tom to change their original plans of sailing on a 60-foot yacht in Gran Canaria to traveling to Albania instead, where Stacey was staying with her boyfriend.
Darcey wanted to hear from Stacey that Tom was the right guy for her, and so Tom reluctantly but ultimately obliged.
Darcey admitted she was "falling in love" with Tom but something was "a little off." She knew he cared about her given he had agreed to go to Albania, but Darcey feared Tom was "holding something in."
Tom was more reserved in his behavior than Darcey and wondered if Darcey's over-the-top words were sincere and genuine. He wasn't used to women being so open and vulnerable, and so he almost seemed annoyed Darcey was so complimentary and excited about everything he was doing for her.
"There's a part of me that worries the sexual chemistry might not be there, but I hope there will be fireworks. I mean, I just want to feel his passion. I'm so ready for that," Darcey said in a confessional.
Darcey and Tom then finally made love, and according to Darcey, the passion was there and Tom was "everlasting."
Tom was glad the pair had waited to be intimate, and he couldn't wait to see where their relationship led.
Darcey said the night pushed them 10 steps in the right direction and it was "such a relief." She finally felt like they were on "the same page."
While shopping around town, the pair walked by a jewelry store and Darcey pointed out she likes white diamonds. Tom noted Darcey put a lot of pressure on getting engaged and wanting to be married, but he wanted to take his time with the relationship to make sure she's The One.

Tom simply didn't want to rush into anything, and he warned Darcey he wouldn't be getting down on one knee "now." Darcey seemed to understand, but she told the cameras maybe she could change his mind because Tom seemed to be falling for her as well.
Tom then brought Darcey out to a club, where she met a couple of girls who happened to be Tom's good friends. However, had dated one of the women named Roucelle for three or four months.
Darcey thought it was "a little odd" he had invited an ex-girlfriend to come out with them, but Darcey intended to be nice and hoped his friends would accept her.
Tom wouldn't even tell his friends that he and Darcey were exclusive or boyfriend/girlfriend.
Roucelle also admitted during the gathering Tom could be "quite disconnected with his emotions sometimes." She warned Darcey that Tom tended to disappear and close himself off.
Tom admitted he had walls up and was guarded because he had been engaged twice before, and both times, the women left him.
"Maybe I can't commit because of the way things were in the past," Tom said in a confessional.
Roucelle thought Darcey seemed "really nice," but she told Tom that she couldn't picture them together once Darcey left the table to go to the bathroom.
Tom couldn't admit he was in love, and Roucelle insisted Tom wasn't "emotionally capable" of feeling that way or embracing his emotions.
Darcey and Tom then flew to Albania together so Tom could meet Stacey and Stacey's fiance. Tom called the trip "a finger in the eye," but he knew relationships are all about compromise.

Darcey was really excited about the meeting, but she desperately wanted Stacey to approve of her relationship.
Tom figured he would learn a lot about Darcey through watching her interact with her twin sister, but what he learned didn't turn out to be all good.
Darcey said she and Stacey were each other's best friend but they could also be enemies at times given their relationship was so unique.
"I don't think we're jealous of each other, I think it's just about one having to do it up a little bit more than the other," Darcey explained.
The girls bickered a bit in front of their men, with Stacey accused Darcey of trying to "one up" her all the time. Neither sister was certain the other wanted to see her happy.
Darcey was upset because Tom was seeing things she didn't want him to see. She also got emotional about her relationship with Stacey and how Tom might have perceived it.
Tom let Darcey know that she had acted immature, but Darcey blamed her sister for doing the same thing. The dynamic between sisters was unfortunate, and Darcey felt bad Tom was not in a good headspace because of it.
Tom told Darcey that she changed when she was around her sister and the trip was supposed to be about them. Tom said the trip was not romantic and he felt like they were just two friends hanging out together.

Darcey felt guilty because she didn't think Tom was having a good time. She worried Tom's feelings for her would be stronger had they went through with his planned trip to Gran Canaria instead.
Tom even pointed out he had considered proposing marriage to Darcey in Gran Canaria, where his parents had gotten engaged, which made Darcey cry and feel deflated.

Tom said he and Darcey might've gotten swept up in the moment because the location and setting is beautiful.
"We would've been much more romantic towards each other," Tom said in a confessional.
"Having been to Albania and it not been like that, I actually saw what Darcey is all about, and now I'm not 100 percent sure where we're at in the relationship."
Tom said there was half of Darcey that he loved and wanted to spend the rest of his life with but then there was half of her that he just wanted to be friends with.
Darcey said she had missed out on what could've been the best day of her life. She resented her sister for asking her to come to Albania in the first place and blamed Stacey for ruining everything.
Tom noticed Darcey was bothered by Stacey's romance and said she was acted childish and jealous. Tom said Darcey was completely unaware of her "rude" behavior and how it affected everyone around her.
"Darcey wants love so badly that when things don't go her way, when things go wrong, she places blame on everybody else. I can see Tom distancing himself from her, and I'm afraid she's going to lose him for good," Stacey told the cameras.

Darcey called the trip to Albania "a disaster," and she only had one week left with Tom. She worried about leaving London, England without a proposal -- and maybe even without a relationship.
When Darcey returned to the table, she started to cry, saying Tom was not "in love" with her yet.
"Why do you think I don't love you?" Tom asked.

Tom told Darcey that was a sign of how she felt about herself, but Darcey wasn't sure where she fit into Tom's life.
"You want me to get on my knees and say, 'I love you?' That's not going to happen. You are seeking approval; I don't want to appease that. I don't. I really don't," Tom told her.
"Where does that leave us?" she asked.
"I don't know," Tom replied.
After spending two weeks with Tom and one of those weeks in Albania, Darcey traveled to Tom's hometown of Nottingham and planned to stay for one week.
The traveling experience was apparently painful because Tom was allegedly giving Darcey the silent treatment. And once they arrived at their hotel, they still weren't speaking.
"This has nothing to do with anyone but you," Tom told Darcey, before telling the cameras, "When Darcey acts in that manner, I just don't find it really attractive."

Darcey was in a bad mood after going tit for tat with her sister and learning she had upset Tom, who didn't like a glimpse into their future after watching Darcey spend time with Stacey.
Tom explained to Darcey that he would never accept her behavior in front of his family; however, he still cared for her and so he was willing to continue their romance.
"I don't know where I stand right now in my relationship with Tom," Darcey told the cameras.

Tom could see the good in Darcey, but he wasn't sure how exactly to feel or what to do. The pair had some issues to work out, but Tom decided to enjoy a romantic evening with Darcey by the fireplace.
The next day, Darcey and Tom took a walk together with his dog, and everything seemed to go back to normal. Darcey felt they could get through anything together, and she was so happy to finally see him open up.
Darcey and Tom then met his sister for dinner at a restaurant. Tom's sister said Darcey is exactly the woman whom Tom typically dates -- fake eyelashes, fake hair color, fake breasts etc. Tom's sister therefore wanted to find out if Darcey was real and genuine.
Tom told his sister that he was "falling for" Darcey, who said Tom was worth having a long-distance relationship with because she really cared for him.
"I'm not going to hurt you, trust me," Darcey told Tom at dinner.

Tom's sister wondered whether one woman would be enough for him, but he said he wanted to settle down. Tom's sister apparently had no faith Tom could handle a long-term relationship, nevermind a long-distance one.
"I'd be very surprised if this is the last woman Tom is with," his sister told the cameras.
Tom revealed after dinner to Darcey that he often uses his family as an excuse or a crutch for his relationships with women not working out.
Darcey didn't like to hear that and said, "I love you," to Tom, but he just stood there in silence and didn't say those three little words back.
Three weeks after Darcey's arrival in England, she was still waiting to hear those important three words from Tom.

Darcey wanted more attention from Tom, attention she thought she deserved. However, Emma warned Darcey that Tom was never going to be "a kept man" and she needed to allow him to party and have fun or else she'd be wasting her time with him.
"I love him," Darcey cried. "It hurts to see that... I have a fantasy of your brother. I need to put reality into it."
Emma told Darcey that Tom is a successful, self-assured man who wouldn't want a possessive, jealous or needy partner. Emma advised Darcey to stop acting insecure, but she had trouble being confident in herself when Tom wasn't ready to commit to her or even say, "I love you."

Emma told Darcey to be honest with Tom and get some answers, but Darcey was scared. Emma apparently liked Darcey and thought she was really sweet, so she was hoping for the best for the couple.
Darcey therefore pulled Tom aside later that night and flat out asked, "It is a little difficult for me to ask, but I kind of need to know something -- are we exclusive?"
Tom replied, "If you need clarification, then, yes, we are exclusive. It's just me and you."
Tom kissed Darcey and she felt great that they were finally in a committed relationship. She loved his answer and felt happy, but they only had two days left together.
"I think we're inching towards a possible proposal," Darcey noted.
Did Tom ever end proposing to Darcey? Is the 90 Day Fiance couple still together?
In an October 15 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Darcey hinted she's no longer dating Tom."Are we still together? You know what, it's to be determined. You guys are going to have to wait and see," Darcey told ET on October 15.

She also suggested during the interview Tom might have some negative words to say about her.
"Tom's gonna like, say maybe a little bit of what he wants to say, but you know what? In the end, I have a real heart," Darcey insisted.
"I want love just like everybody else. And you know what? When you know somebody for that amount of time, and you go on that journey for love, you know, I'm deserving of it. And I'm not here to be made for a fool, so we'll see what happens."
When ET asked Darcey whether Tom had made her for a fool, she replied, "I wouldn't say that he has... Maybe at times, yeah."
While Tom has yet to express feelings of love for Darcey on the show, she teased their relationship definitely progressed, although their relationship could be over at this point in time.
"He has said he loves me," Darcey shared. "But you will have to watch the next couple of shows to see what happens."
In recent weeks, Tom has been dieting, working out and sharing many pictures of himself on Instagram. Not only did he cut his hair, but he looks totally different.
While Darcey said she's "very proud" of Tom for losing some weight and getting into shape, she took an opportunity to slam him a bit.

"We all go through our own transformations, but when your ego gets involved... it's questionable," Darcey said.

In addition, Darcey told ET that she's never going to stop her search for The One if viewers come to find out her romance with Tom didn't work out.
"I've been through many relationships... I'm not giving up, no matter what. I'm going to keep fighting. Love is on my heart always. But you know what, I'll lean back and we'll see what happens," she said.
While Darcey and Tom both still actively post on Instagram, their Instagram profiles were each recently changed to private.
However, prior to making her profile private, Darcy appeared to delete her photos of Tom.
Darcey had posted a few photos of Tom over the last two months, but she removed all of them.
On September 4, Darcey had posted a photo of Tom and captioned it, "Living legend! With my heart wide open and all love. My rock! Perfect gentleman with a heart of gold!"
And in mid-August, Darcey shared a photo on Instagram of Tom taking a selfie and poked fun at his 45-degree angle handsome look.
"Keep your eyes on the prize," she wrote.

Darcey also deleted a photo she had of Tom's dating-app profile that she had captioned with a heart.
And more recently, Darcey posts photos of herself, hinting her relationship with Tom is done.

She also shared a modeling photo and said she was strong and loving herself.
And Darcey posted a video of herself posing in front of a mirror. She wrote alongside it, "I will close my heart! I will not be played for a fool! I deserve the best."
Back on September 29, Darcey told her fans to be as picky with their men as they are with their bikinis.
As for Tom, there is little indication on his account that he's still in a relationship with Darcey.
According to the Frauded By TLC Instagram account, Tom has also been spotted out with a blonde woman on a couple different occasions in recent weeks, and the pair even allegedly attended a Versace fashion show in Milan together in mid-September.
Tom "was allegedly recently seen spotted at a cafe in Milan with this definitely-not-Darcey beauty and there was most definitely ass-grabbing involved," the Frauded By TLC Instagram account captioned an apparent photo showing Tom and the busty blonde woman posing for a photo in front of a Versace photo backdrop.
"Allegedly, there is another girl whom Tom was cheating on with this girl."

Tom posted an Instagram photo showing an alleged personalized invite to a September 20 Versace show on the day the event was occurring, however he did not post any actual photos from the event.
Meanwhile, Darcey appears to have also been in Europe at the same time Tom was allegedly in Milan -- however instead of being in Milan with Tom, she was in Malta with her sister Stacey!
Beginning September 20 -- the same alleged date of the Versace fashion show, coincidence? -- Darcey began plastering her own Instagram account with postings showing her partying it up in Malta with her twin sister Stacey to celebrate their birthdays.

"Darcey & Stacey meet and greet, press event and another twin treat for our birthday on September 23rd! Let's have the trip of a lifetime! Living the fab life! It will be twintastic."
Then, Darcey posted over a dozen sexy photos and videos over the next week or so showing herself having a great time partying and enjoying the sun in Malta.
While it takes less than two hours to fly from Milan to Malta, there is no social-media activity indicating Tom visited Darcey in Malta during her stay in the European country.
Prior to the pair's recent social-media activity, Darcey had said she was still in a relationship with Tom and they were happy during an early August interview with Newsweek.
"We're very good. We're very happy. Things have been amazing and some people might see it that way and some people might see it a different way," Darcey said.
"You'll have to go through the journey along with us."
Darcey added in her interview that Tom's "an amazing guy" and "a great guy."
"We have a really deep connection and have a lot in common... I love his voice. It's very sexy, very James Bond," she said.
Darcey also explained it's a positive Tom is closer to her own age than Jesse was when they dated.
"He's older. He's lived life. He's a jetsetter. He owns his own company. He's very experienced in life and he elevates me. I never feel put down," Darcey shared with Newsweek at the time.
"It was something I had to explore because maybe he could be the one so I decided to do that journey again. I don't regret it."
Prior to her trip to Malta, there had also been no sign Darcey had left the United States since January 2019, when she posted a close-up photo of Tom carrying her and her designer boots across a cobblestone street while she was visiting the U.K.
"Getting carried away in London," Darcey captioned the image, which did not reveal Tom's face at the time.
