Jasmine and Gino were shown broken up on the Tell-All event for 90 Day: The Last Resort.
But the seven other couples -- Brandon and Julia, Tigerlily and Adnan, Kara and Guillermo, Jovi and Yara, Elizabeth and Andrei, Loren and Alexei, and Darcey and Silva -- are all married and hoping to last forever.
"This season shines a spotlight on the relatable and often chaotic reality of married life. From miscommunication, open relationships, family conflict and new beginnings, viewers will witness the highs and lows that make love so unpredictable," TLC teased of the new season.
"For the first time ever, these couples aren't just facing drama within their own relationships, they're also weighing in on each other's."
The network added, "With intertwining storylines and unexpected interactions, the boundaries between the couples' blur, revealing raw truths and surprising new bonds."
Below is what happened on Episode 7 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s ninth season.
BRANDON and JULIA
Julia was shown cleaning her house in anticipation of her parents' arrival from Russia. Brandon and Julia were going to drive to Washington, D.C., meet Julia's parents in a hotel, and then bring them home to Virginia.Julia apparently hadn't told her parents about her fertility issue or marriage problems.
"I don't want to start with this," Julia said.
"I really don't think you should keep this from them," Brandon argued, adding how Julia's parents would probably support her through anything.

Julia's mom scolded Julia for being late and for creating tension right away with the hotel rooms. But the negativity drifted away once everyone enjoyed a couple of pizzas.
The next day, Brandon and Julia toured her parents around Washington, D.C.
Brandon, however, wasn't a great tour guide, as he clearly didn't know much American history to share.
Once Brandon and Julia returned home, Brandon's parents Ron and Betty surprised the group by being inside. Ron and Betty had decorated the house, but Julia said Brandon's parents had crossed a line and she was "pissed" about it.
Julia told Betty that she should have called first, and Betty apologized for shocking her.
GINO and JASMINE
After Jasmine and Gino's new love interest, Natalie, fought in a bar, Natalie was shown screaming outside about how she's a woman with value who has two wonderful kids.Gino said he didn't blame Natalie for wanting to leave but Jasmine and Matt should be the ones to leave the family gathering. After all, they were celebrating Gino's cousin-in-law Michelle's birthday.

Jasmine apologized to Michelle for ruining her party, but Matt said he was attracted to firecrackers and it didn't bother him that Jasmine had a temper.
Michelle then told Jasmine that Gino had lied to Natalie about the status of his marriage and Natalie was actually upset with Gino for bending the truth. Jasmine therefore felt horrible for yelling at Natalie when she had been lured to Michigan under false pretenses.
Michelle and her husband told the cameras that Gino had made his bed and so he needed to sleep in it.
Matt said he'd love to have a conversation with Gino, whom Jasmine accused of abandoning her in a foreign country. Jasmine, as an immigrant, could not rent an apartment or obtain a credit card, and so she thought Gino was a jerk for how he was treating her.
Matt added that nothing could justify Gino throwing Jasmine out on the street and he's "a very selfish person."
Matt proceeded to talk to Gino and Natalie, and Gino didn't understand why Matt was still around and speaking on behalf of his wife.
This marked the first time Gino had ever seen Matt in person, and so tensions were high.
"He is still responsible for Jasmine to this day and he hasn't helped with anything. That is some scumbag sh-t. I could probably take him to court for all the money and time I've put into her," Matt explained to Gino and Natalie.
Gino reminded Matt that he was hooking up with a married woman, and he couldn't believe the "piece of trash" was trying to make him look bad in front of his new girlfriend.
Matt essentially questioned Natalie's decision making for getting involved, and Gino called Matt "pathetic trash" in a confessional.
Natalie concluded that Gino, Jasmine and Matt "all deserved each other," and then she left Michigan.

DARCEY and GEORGI
Darcey and Georgi were about to meet Georgi's sisters and her children. Darcey considered it a trial run before meeting her husband's parents.The couple met Georgi's loved ones in a fun medieval park so that Georgi could act as "the fun uncle."
When Georgi and his sister reunited, they both cried. Darcey also cried watching from a few feet away, and it was clearly a very emotional and sweet moment. Georgi's niece and nephew even admitted that it was their dream to meet their uncle in person.
Georgi's sister thought Darcey was a beautiful woman, but she was concerned about the age difference and whether Georgi may regret not having kids of his own.
After playing medieval games, Georgi's sister revealed to Darcey by using a language-translation app that Georgi was happy in his marriage and loved her a lot. Darcey received confirmation in that moment that Georgi loved her and thought their relationship was special.
Since Georgi's sister was so kind, Darcey became less nervous about meeting the in-laws, who were also apparently worried Georgi was going to eventually regret not being a father.
Darcey just wanted to relax and have fun that night, but she was still concerned that Georgi wasn't being open and honest about his finances with her.
"If I told you how much I make, you would spend it all," Georgi told Darcey.
But Darcey -- who said transparency is so important in her relationships -- complained that Georgi didn't tell her things because he wanted to block her out of his life and keep secrets from her.
Darcey accused Georgi of "plotting and planning" to leave her for a richer, younger and prettier hot girl.
"You already got what you wanted from me, so discard is ready to happen," Darcey told her husband.

"You got everything from me, but what am I getting out of you?" Darcey yelled, before adding, "If you're not happy, go!"
Darcey said she wanted to feel Georgi, understand him and learn more, but Georgi insisted he was not a cold and heartless person. Georgi promised Darcey that he cared for her, and so Darcey reminded Georgi that she loved him a lot and just wanted to be closer to him.
Georgi planned to "figure it out" with Darcey, but he hoped she was going to be on her best behavior with his parents.
TIGERLILY and ADNAN
About two weeks before her scheduled c-section, Tigerlily was doing some last-minute shopping with her stepmom Brenda at a baby boutique.Brenda admitted she was worried about Adnan being so religious and wanting to raise their baby Muslim, especially since Tigerlily's other kids were being raised Christian.
Tigerlily assured Brenda that she stood her ground when there was something she didn't want to do and she'd always be herself in the relationship. Tigerlily also said Adnan would never expect her to cover her hair or make her older kids convert to Islam.

Brenda thought Tigerlily being responsible for Adnan and three kids was "disturbing" in case things didn't work out. She criticized Tigerlily for having jumped into this relationship with blinders on.
Adnan later asked Tigerlily to become a Muslim mother. He was afraid that if he died, Tigerlily wouldn't be able to teach their son about his beliefs, culture and ways.
Adnan started to freak out about the idea of his son being an "American boy" who drinks alcohol and makes mistakes. Adnan told Tigerlily that their kid could even become a murderer if she doesn't covert to Islam.
"And we're not going to be in the same place after we die because we don't have the same religion," Adnan said.

Tigerlily recalled Adnan saying that he'd never require his partner to wear a hijab, but Adnan admitted he had changed and he wanted his wife to have more religion in her heart.
Tigerlily argued that she's a Christian who had her own religion and so Adnan was judging her and being unfair. As the pair bickered, Adnan said his wife was acting like a demon, and then she walked away from him in tears.
ELIZABETH and ANDREI
Andrei drove Elizabeth and her father Chuck to see his investment property, but Chuck wasn't sure the property even existed.Andrei insisted it was a great deal, which he had made many years ago, but Chuck wasn't convinced this was going to be a success. Andrei's business partners also declined to meet with the trio.
When Elizabeth saw the house, she thought it had potential. However, the place was an absolute mess inside.
"It looks like a bomb hit here!" Chuck noted.
"Babe, this is a sh-thole. We don't do total demos. This is going to take a lot more than what you invested!" Elizabeth complained.
Chuck said he had never flipped a house like this, but then Andrei clarified how the house was going to be demolished.
Elizabeth asked why the house was in such poor condition after two years when Andrei had business partners in Moldova.
"Well, what happened is we got stagnant in our process because nobody predicted the war between Russia and Ukraine... The Russian company that was providing construction materials and is holding our money folded," Andrei shared.
"Why couldn't you flip it to another company, local, to finish it?" Chuck asked.

"I knew it," Chuck vented.
"They stole the money?!" Elizabeth asked.
Andrei nodded his head and explained how the Russian company holding their money was not responding to his calls. Elizabeth said she never signed any paperwork and knew absolutely nothing about this deal.
Andrei claimed there was a contract but no regulations and there was no way to sue this company because Russia was not participating in international law.
"People are gone with a ton of money," Andrei said.
Chuck acknowledged how Andrei's money was gone, and Elizabeth scolded Andrei for lying to her and never keeping her informed through the process.
"Do you think I'm stupid?!" Elizabeth asked. "I'm not even concerned about [a solution] right now. I am most concerned that he lied!"
Elizabeth told Andrei that she no longer trusted him, but Andrei pointed out how the war was not in his control. Andrei insisted he never lied to Elizabeth, but she disagreed.
Elizabeth and Andrei proceeded to have "the worst fight" they've "ever had as a couple," according to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth decided that she, Chuck and her kids were going to leave immediately.
Elizabeth said she didn't take losing $75,000 lightly and she couldn't take it anymore.

"That is not the man that I married, and that is not what I signed up for. There is absolutely no reason for us to stay here."
Elizabeth told Andrei that his family was leaving on a plane that night whether or not he was on it. Andrei didn't know what he was going to tell his loved ones, but Elizabeth said there was "no way" she could live in Moldova after what Andrei had done.
"If this is my husband in this environment, I don't want it. I don't want this life," Elizabeth said.
Andrei called Elizabeth "nasty" for leaving him alone in Moldova without his kids. He also slammed Chuck for being "a great father-in-law."
"Am I supposed to talk her out of it?" Chuck asked Andrei.
Andrei said goodbye to his kids, and he planned to stay in Moldova for another week. Andrei said Elizabeth's actions hurt him but maybe some time off would cool things down a bit.
"I'm letting her go and letting her be," Andrei decided. "We'll take a break."
Elizabeth told the cameras that she wanted to get her kids home, where they'd be safe.
