The episode also starred Rose, a 26-year-old from Manila, Philippines, who starred on 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days Season 4 as well as Ellie, a 47-year-old from Seattle, WA, and Victor, a 39-year-old from Providencia Island, Colombia, who starred on 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way Season 3.

90 Day Diaries follows former 90 Day Fiance cast members navigating their lives after the show, providing viewers with an intimate view into their homes, plans and daily struggles.

Some of the footage is self-shot, similar to how cast members filmed themselves for 90 Day Fiance: Self-Quarantined.

90 Day Diaries chronicles not just successful 90 Day Fiance couples but also numerous 90 Day Fiance alums who didn't see their original 90 Day Fiance relationship work out. The cast members have attempted to begin new romances after the failure of their prior overseas relationships.

The season will feature more cast members in the coming weeks, but below is what happened on Episode 7 of 90 Day Diaries' fourth season.


CALEB

Caleb was shown working out at the gym with his body-building sister, Hannah.

About 13 years ago, Caleb met a Russian woman online named Alina, whom he later reconnected with on a dating app. In order to try to take things to the next level, Caleb and Alina met in Turkey and tried to see if they were compatible.

"Eventually, I broke it off because I wasn't in a position where I felt like I could commit," Caleb explained.

After Caleb returned to America, he realized he wanted to find a partner with whom he could build a life. He had been talking to a woman named Sabina, a Dutch who lives in the Caribbean. The pair met online and messaged each other daily.

"She definitely has a look and style to her," Caleb said, explaining Sabina's pink hair and tattooed face, neck and body.

Caleb said he was attracted to Sabina's openness and transparency, and he felt they could really connect. They had similar interests in spirituality, and Caleb said he really cared for her and wanted to see where their romance could go.

Caleb told Hannah how he and Sabina messaged on Instagram and had been talking for four months and really getting along. Caleb wasn't prepared to "dive in deep," especially because they hadn't hung out because Sabina lives in Curacao.

"I've tried the whole long-distance thing before... Maybe I'm ready for a commitment. And part of me really hopes that Sabina could be The One," Caleb shared.

Caleb confirmed this was serious, but Hannah noted how Caleb is nomadic and enjoys his freedom. She said it's hard for her to picture Caleb in a long-term committed relationship.

Caleb wasn't sure if Sabina was ready to meet him in person, but he hoped their meeting would solidify his feelings. He needed to know how they got along in-person, and Caleb also admitted Sabina's interesting look may take some getting adjusted to.

When Caleb Zoomed with Sabina, she said their vibe felt pure, real and positive. She said, however, she lives a really free life and so it would be completely fine for him to step into that.

Sabina therefore invited Caleb to visit her and said he'd be welcome to stay in her home.

Sabina admitted to the cameras that she couldn't stop thinking about Caleb and so she was excited for him to come see her.

Caleb recognized he was taking a big risk by attempting a long-distance relationship again, but he hoped things would work out with Sabina and be different this time around.

"Who knows, it's scary to think about," Caleb noted.


ANNA and MURSEL

Anna and Mursel, avid beekeepers, met on social media in 2018 and started messaging. Once they found out they had a lot in common, Mursel proposed to Anna over videochat.

Mursel said he thought Anna was beautiful, and about a year after they first met, their K-1 visa was approved and then Mursel moved to the United States to live with Anna and her three boys -- Joey, Gino and Leo.

Despite all the challenges they faced, Anna and Mursel were able to get married, and Anna said it's been "really great" ever since.

A year before Anna and Mursel filmed this special, the couple decided to expand their family and have a baby together, but Anna was unable to carry a child since she had a uterine ablation about six years prior.

Anna and Mursel decided to use a surrogate as a result, and the pair found out they were pregnant seven months before taping this special.

"We are expecting a boy and he is due May 19," Anna revealed.

Anna and Mursel's surrogate lived in Ukraine with her family because if they had chosen a surrogate in the U.S., the process would've been twice as expensive.

"But when the war broke out [with Russia], we were absolutely terrified, and the town our surrogate is from got hit really hard," Anna shared.

The couple helped their surrogate relocate to a safer place on the western border of Ukraine called Lviv. A couple of maternity hospitals had been bombed, and so Anna and Mursel just hoped their surrogate and baby would remain safe.

When the baby arrived, Anna and Mursel planned to fly to Poland and then meet someone at the border to pick up the baby. Anna and Mursel were going to miss the child's birth as well as the first few days of his life.

Mursel was worried about obtaining a visa in order to enter Poland, but Anna would be able to go no matter what. The couple was even struggling just to get Mursel an appointment.

Anna said that having a baby was supposed to be a joyous time but this was "one of the most stressful times" in their lives.

Anna confessed that not being able to physically carry her baby had been hard on her, especially since she couldn't attend ultrasound appointments or receive frequent health updates from the surrogate.

Anna said it was important to nest so she could connect with this baby, and so she and Mursel were shown setting up a nice crib for their baby on the way and putting pictures of trees and baby woodland creatures on the wall.

Mursel said his family might know about the surrogate through social media.

Anna then broke the news to Mursel that they were told to go to Ukraine -- rather than Poland -- to pick up their baby. The couple would have to drive or take a train into the country, and Anna acknowledged it probably wasn't going to be a safe trip.

Anna hoped the situation would change because she already had three children at home and didn't want anything bad to happen to her.

"I'm all they have," Anna said.

One month later, five weeks before their baby's due date, Anna and Mursel received a message that their son had been born.

Anna and Mursel quickly got on a plane, but only Anna was allowed to enter Ukraine to retrieve the baby. When Anna held her son in her arms, she cried, and the family was so happy to be able to return to the U.S. safely.

Anna and Mursel named their son Gokhan John, and Mursel gushed about being so happy to be a father. He called his son "my lamb" and couldn't stop kissing his baby's face.

REBECCA and ZIED

Rebecca and Zied met online, and after nine months of talking, Rebecca flew to Tunisia to meet him in-person for the first time. They got married two years prior to filming this special.

After spending the last month in Tunisia, Zied was finally on his way home.

But while Zied was gone, he dropped a big bomb on Rebecca. Zied suggested potentially moving to Tunisia after the couple had gone through so much to get Zied over to the United States.

"Honestly, I'm just in shock," Rebecca confessed.

Rebecca was excited to see her husband, but she resented him for the chaos that was in their lives. She said Zied wanting to move to Tunisia was "overwhelming" and she wanted to know when she could finally "get off this ride."

Rebecca and Zied had a warm reunion at the airport, and Zied said saying goodbye to his mother was not sad because he said they'd return to Tunisia soon.

"We have a lot to talk about," Rebecca noted.

Rebecca said she had made plans for them that weekend. She had hired a Tunisian translator to talk to the couple at their apartment. Rebecca said she and Zied didn't have a problem communicating on a daily basis but this was a serious topic that would result in some major decisions.

Zied didn't think they needed a translator because he had already spoken his thoughts, but he was prepared to do whatever would make Rebecca happy.

Once the couple sat down with a translator, Rebecca explained how Zied had promised her that he would focus on their relationship and on Zied getting a job once he returned to the U.S. from his trip to Tunisia. However, Zied had mentioned wanting to move back to Tunisia.

Zied told the translator life was "wonderful" in America but some things were "tough."

The translator explained how they were in a transitional stage, but Rebecca felt Zied had already made up his mind and determined it would be the best thing for them to do -- without taking Rebecca's feelings into account or really hearing her out.

Zied insisted that he cared about Rebecca's feelings but he thought moving to Tunisia would be a solution and good life for the both of them.

"What happens to our marriage if I decide I can't go to Tunisia?" Rebecca asked.

"If you stay here and you not follow me, I be so mad because I understand one thing only, you don't care what I say and you can't -- you not follow your husband," Zied replied.

Rebecca didn't know how to respond to that and said she'd have a lot to think about.

"So you're going regardless?" Rebecca asked.

"Yeah," Zied confirmed.

Rebecca had been hoping this was one big understanding, but that clearly wasn't the case. Rebecca was struggling with the part of her that would do anything to save her marriage as well as the part of her that doesn't want to be forced into doing something.

Rebecca only had two weeks to make a decision, and she apparently had no idea what she was going to do.


ROSEMARIE

Rose was shown preparing a dinner, Filipino spring rolls, along with her two sisters Diana and Venus.

Rose's 90 Day journey started in 2019 when she met Ed Brown on social media. After three months of talking, Ed visited her in the Philippines and then they learned that they weren't right for each other or meant to be.

Rose claimed she broke up with Ed because he was always lying to her, including about the fact he didn't want to have a baby with her. Ed also lied about his height.

Two-and-a-half years after she and Ed separated, Rose was able to put up a store and build a house. She was happy with the changes in her life and her new experiences.

Rose, who has a son named Prince, said she's living in a house with her son and her sisters, who help her out with the child and manage the store.

Rose revealed she was in a new relationship. While she wasn't really looking for love, something just happened and she met Greg, an Australian real estate agent with one son, on social media.

Greg first messaged Rose to chat and then she messaged him back because she thought he was cute.

Rose and Greg hung out in-person twice, once in Thailand with Prince and the second time in the Philippines. Rose said Greg bonded with her family, and although he's much older than her, age doesn't matter.

"He knows that I've been through a lot. My past relationship with Ed was not good, and the great thing about Greg is that he's a good person," Rose explained. "He wants to bond with my family and he respects me."

Rose spoke to her sisters about her relationship with Greg before he came to visit them. Rose's sisters were worried about her dating long-distance, but Rose had yet to discuss potentially moving since her romance was still new.

Rose said she wasn't sure where she'd prefer to live and so it was important to continue getting to know Greg and simply be with each other, before choosing where to settle down as a couple.

Rose's sisters said they would support her but she needed to consider Prince in whatever decision she made.

When Rose picked Greg, a 54-year-old, up at the airport, they took Prince to a local park and enjoyed each other's company. Rose loved having a father figure around for Prince, and Greg said he was willing to make quick trips to keep their relationship going.

Greg asked what they should do if they really wanted to be together, and he questioned if Rose would be willing to move to Australia. Rose said she didn't want to rush any decisions in order to not regret something in the end.

Rose mentioned how Prince would have great opportunities in Australia, especially for schooling, and so he asked Rose to at least consider and remain open to the idea. Greg didn't seem excited about the prospect of moving to the Philippines.

The first step was going to be for Rose to travel to Australia and see if she liked it.

Greg and Rose agreed the future looked good and bright.


ELLIE and VICTOR

In 2018, Ellie went on a trip to Colombia, where she met Victor while taking a walk down the beach. Victor strolled up on a motorcycle and smiled at her, and the rest was history.

Ellie and Victor spent three weeks together on his island, and then she returned home to the U.S.

Ellie decided to move to Providencia so she could be with Victor, but before she left, a hurricane hit with a vengeance and destroyed about 97% of the island. The couple therefore applied for the K-1 visa and then Victor moved to Seattle, which he thought was a great city.

The couple had been married for 10 months by the time this special filmed, and Victor said he was living his best life with his wife by his side.

Ellie, the owner and operator of a small pizza restaurant, said married life was going well but they were still waiting for Victor to get his work permit.

Ellie was supporting Victor, and so she said she was ready for him to contribute financially to their relationship.

Victor imagined working a job in construction, and he couldn't wait to work in America. One of Victor's friends had also offered him a job to help build a bar.

Ellie, however, thought it would be fun for Victor to work at her pizza shop, which needed more help. She loved the idea, but Victor seemed wishy-washy about the idea of working for his wife.

ADVERTISEMENT
Victor said if Ellie turned out to be "a bossy boss," it would be very awkward.

Victor's friend Nate imagined Victor bringing some "island vibes" to the new restaurant, but Ellie was a little hurt and offended that Victor didn't want to work with her.

After a couple days of giving it some thought, Ellie determined Victor working on the new bar was the right decision for the both of them and would probably help them to avoid some unnecessary conflict.

She didn't want their happy and content times to change.
