90 Day Fiance's eleventh season will also chronicle the lives of its first-ever throuple: Matt and Amani from San Diego, CA, as well as Any from Tijuana, Mexico.

90 Day Fiance documents the journeys of intercultural couples -- Americans and their foreign partners -- navigating the complexities of love, cultural differences, and societal pressures.

With just 90 days to wed before their K-1 visas expire, the couples must overcome significant hurdles or potentially break up.

Shekinah and Sarper previously starred on 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way's sixth season.

Shawn and Alliya, who have a 30-year age gap between them, previously appeared on 90 Day Fiance: Love in Paradise.

And Juan and Jessica were also featured on 90 Day Fiance: Love in Paradise.

Below is what happened on Episode 9 of 90 Day Fiance's eleventh season.


SHEKINAH and SARPER

Shekinah's daughter Sofie had agreed to meet Sarper, and Shekinah said she was nervous because the meeting could go totally wrong. Shekinah said Sarper had a history of making bad first impressions and it was important for him to get this one right.

Sarper was also anxious about the meeting because his relationship with Shekinah -- and their future marriage -- depended on it going well, and so he was practicing comedy and what he was going to say.

Shekinah admitted Sarper was funny in the wild but not when his material was scripted.

Sarper booked a whale watch for the trio in the Bay Area of California, and he brought a blanket for Sofie in case she got cold, which Shekinah thought was a "sweet" gesture.

"I'd like to see him treat my mom with respect in the way that he talks to her. I know communication gets a little lost, with the way he words things, but I think it's common sense when you say some things," Sofie told the cameras.

The activity started off really fun but then all three of them got seasick. Sarper was shown throwing up into a bad, and Shekinah and Sofie got splashed by a big wave at the front of the boat.

After the boat ride, Sofie asked Sarper to mend things with her family and make more of an effort to get along with Shekinah's sister. Sofie wanted her family to love Sarper and vice versa.

Sarper took accountability for his mistakes and said he would do his best, and Sofie appreciated that.

Sofie feared, however, that Sarper was just telling her what she wanted to hear. She wasn't sure if Sarper was being totally genuine.

"That's a big challenge. And right now, that's on me. A big burden is on my shoulders," Sarper told the cameras.

MARK and MINA

With 63 days to wed, Mark and Mina were trying to recover from a rocky weekend with family in North Carolina. Mark and Mina therefore headed to West Palm Beach, FL, for a more relaxed time with friends.

Mark introduced Mina to a woman named Diana, who was friends with a woman named Jade. Mark and Jade had dated and were in love before, and Diana spilled the beans that Mark had bought Jade a BMW.

Mark told Mina how there shouldn't be any drama and he just wanted Mina to have fun. Mark explained to Mina how his relationship with Jade was never serious.

But when Diana and Mina were getting to know each other, Diana pointed out how Mina reminded Mark of Jade, which Mina seemed to think was weird and alarming.

Diana claimed Mark was madly in love with Jade and was crushed when they broke up. Diana even went as far as to tell the cameras that Mark couldn't get over Jade -- until he met Mina, who was very similar.

Diana told Mina that Mark had lived with Jade in Florida, but then Mina revealed that Mark had told her that he never lived with Jade. Mina was shocked to hear this, and Diana admitted that was "a big thing" for Mark to keep from his future bride.

Diana also shared how Mark and Jade had moved very quickly and moved in together after just a couple months of dating.

Mina recalled how Mark had told her that he and Jade had split because she didn't want to leave Florida and move to New Hampshire with him.

"There were a few things," Diana alleged.

"One of the things... was when he was working, he was flying, and he left his iPad [at home] and his phone was connected to his iPad. He was talking to other girls and he had pictures with other girls. So he was cheating on her essentially when they were living together."

Mina was shocked to hear this news and said there were clearly two totally different Marks. Diana apologized to Mina for breaking this bad news, but she mentioned how she needed to know the real Mark before marrying him.

Diana believed that Mark was taking advantage of Mina by keeping these secrets from her.

"Maybe I made a mistake," Mina vented in a confessional. "I don't know."

Diana decided to give Mina Jade's phone number so the women could talk and Mina could get to the bottom of things. Mina didn't want to get married and then divorced shortly afterward because Mark had failed to tell her the truth.

Mina confronted Mark about Diana's allegations, and Mina complained about how she didn't want to be his "substitute" for Jade. Mark insisted that Mina wasn't a replacement for Jade and that he had never asked Jade to marry him.

"Yeah, because she wouldn't accept," Mina snapped.

Mark claimed he had forgotten to tell Mina certain things, but she wasn't really buying that.

Mark ended the conversation abruptly and acknowledged how he was "done" talking about his ex.

Mina then texted Jade and asked to meet up. Mina wanted to talk with Jade woman to woman, and Mark couldn't believe this was going to happen.

"I'm telling you the truth, but if you think she will verify that, then go spend the day with Jade," Mark told his fiancee.


STEVI and MAHDI

Stevi confessed she wasn't 100 percent sure if she wanted to marry Mahdi after he pushed to move their wedding date up so he could work in the United States.

When attending a glass-blowing class with friends, Stevi refused to share wedding details with one of her pals. It was becoming obvious to Stevi's friends that she had walls up and was maybe in a self-preservation mode.

"If there is any form of doubt, I'm not going to [marry]," Stevi admitted, adding how Mahdi had "said some things" after his arrival and so she didn't know what to do... [But] maybe it is me. Maybe I'm uncertain."

Stevi broke down into tears while looking around in the gift shop, and she explained how she wasn't going to give 100 percent to someone who wasn't 100 percent sure about her in return.

"This is scary because I don't know where I'm at right now," Stevi told the cameras.

Mahdi and Stevi's father then went to a monster truck show together, and Mahdi didn't feel like he fit in because there were American flags hanging in the air and hotdogs being sold. Mahdi thought it was the most American place ever.

Mahdi planned to propose marriage to Stevi again with a new engagement ring, and so he asked Stevi's dad for his blessing. Stevi's father seemed concerned about how Stevi and Mahdi hadn't spent much time together, and so he wasn't quick to give his permission.

Stevi's dad wanted to make sure that Mahdi was fully committed to the relationship and that he wouldn't suddenly feel the urge to return home. After all, Mahdi was having second thoughts already.

Mahdi promised Stevi's dad that he would not be going back to Iran and he would take care of Stevi forever.


AMANI, MATT and ANY

After a heated argument, Any slept on the couch for space and she wasn't talking to anybody.

Any complained to the cameras how Amani had exploded on her and she didn't need that type of drama in her life.

Amani and Matt therefore took off in the car to have a private conversation, because Amani wasn't sure how Matt was feeling about everything.

"We are in this together. It should be 'our' problem, and not just mine... We are discussing a life together, and I just feel like he's not into this as much as me, and I can't carry this relationship on my own," Amani said in a confessional.

When Amani asked Matt to describe how he felt, he said he cared about Any but the situation was "getting a little ridiculous." Amani wanted to move forward in their relationship with Any, but Matt still wanted answers.

Matt wondered, "Who are we to her?"

Matt didn't like how Any was lying about them, and he decided to be blunt with his wife.

"I know getting involved with her is so much harder when I see my wife hurting," Matt admitted to Amani, adding how Any's actions were pushing him further away from her.

Matt acknowledged how the stakes were high, especially since children were on both sides, and he didn't want to see his wife -- who has "a pure soul -- in pain.

"Are you not in love with her?" Amani asked.

"If I'm comparing love for her to what I feel for you today, it can't be that amount of love. I know you and have gotten to know you for so long," Matt explained.

Amani was surprised to hear that Matt wasn't in love with Any, because she thought that was the point of the whole thing.

When the throuple reunited, Any asked for more time to tell her family the truth, but Matt suggested time was up because they were about to merge their lives together. Matt didn't want to be a secret either, and he complained about how he and Amani had opened up their lives for Any.

Matt wanted Any to make sacrifices for them, just like he and Amani had done for her. Amani also wanted to make sure that Any was in the relationship for the right reasons.

Amani wanted to respect Any's wishes for more time, but she noted how she wasn't going to wait forever. Matt and Amani just wanted Any to be lovable, trustworthy and lovable.


GREG and JOAN

Joan said she had gained weight in a few weeks and she was feeling "too thick." Joan therefore decided to exercise more and get into shape so she could fit into her wedding dress, and Greg said he was ready to support his fiancee.

Greg told Joan that they could sign up for a gym membership. Greg also revealed that he had a job interview lined up, which made Joan excited because she wanted her fiance to work or else she'd return to her native country.

"Two weeks, if you don't get that job, I'm done," Joan admitted.

ADVERTISEMENT
"Two weeks? That's insane! Maybe at the two-week mark I'd be getting some results back, maybe," Greg said.

Greg told Joan it could take up to a month, and so Joan said she'd wait a month.

Greg admitted he was "flabbergasted" by Joan's comments, but Joan explained how she didn't want to be in an unstable relationship because she didn't know what to expect in the future.

"I'm going to get that job. We're going to go out to dinner and make some wealth!" Greg boasted.


SHAWN and ALLIYA

Alliya shared how she and Shawn were still figuring out their sex life amid her transition. Alliya told Shawn's friend Jackie how she'd like to get breast implants but she feared Shawn would eventually miss dating a man.

Alliya didn't know if Shawn was less sexually attracted to her now that she looked like a woman.

Alliya loved Shawn, but she wasn't sure what the future was going to hold for their relationship, especially if she furthered her transition with surgery.

Shawn pointed out how he had known Douglas for years but only knew Alliya for a few months. Alliya wondered if Shawn was feeling "ashamed" of her, but Shawn explained how the couple had realistic issues to work on.

Shawn's friends Jackie wondered if Shawn was marrying Alliya out of "necessity" rather than "desire" for her, and she felt a little bad for Alliya. Jackie wondered if this was going to be "a recipe for disaster."
