After three months of dating virtually and over the phone, Tarik traveled over 9,000 miles and 36 hours to meet Hazel in-person in the Philippines on 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days' second season.
Tarik took a lot of heat from family and friends, especially his brother Dean, for pursuing a relationship with a woman overseas. Tarik's loved ones worried he was being scammed and Hazel was just after a Green Card, especially because she lived in the poorest of conditions.
Tarik had his own doubts about the relationship given Hazel was quiet around him and not very affectionate, but Tarik still decided to propose marriage at the end of his trip and then file for the K-1 visa upon his return to America.
Tarik and Hazel were still engaged six months after 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days' second-season finale aired on TLC in October 2018.
Tarik later returned to the Philippines several more times to visit Hazel, and in the meantime, he was waiting for Hazel's K-1 visa to be approved.
Hazel even agreed to sign a prenuptial agreement for Tarik to prove that she was with him for love.
At the time 90 Day Fiance's eighth season filmed, Tarik and Hazel had been together for two years and Hazel finally got approved for a K-1 visa.
Hazel was going to meet Tarik's seven-year-old daughter Auri for the first time. Tarik apparently has majority custody of Auri, who stays with her father five out of seven days a week and lives with her mother on the weekends.
Tarik shared how Auri has high-functioning autism and everything in his life revolves around her. Tarik hoped Hazel would love Auri and that they'd get along wonderfully.
Hazel also has an eight-year-old son Harrey, and Hazel was having a tough time leaving him behind. Tarik and Hazel therefore planned to bring Harrey to the United States "eventually" in order to give the boy more opportunities in life.

Tarik admitted he was "surprised" when he learned Hazel is bisexual, and he told her that Virginia Beach is "full of smoking hot women."

Hazel apparently wanted to have a girlfriend on the side, and Tarik therefore wondered how that was going to work and whether Hazel was really in their relationship for him or just permanent residency in the United States.
"We're not even married yet -- and what you're thinking about is the girlfriend we need to find?" Tarik explained in a confessional.
"We've had some trust and jealousy issues in the past, so it does make me nervous. But she wants to go full steam ahead on this thing, so I hope we're really ready for it."
But the couple experienced a bump in the road when they tried to introduce a woman named Minty from Thailand into their relationship.
Tarik began dating the girl when he and Hazel were briefly broken up and was "falling in like" with her, and when he and Hazel got back together, Hazel decided to partake in the romance.
But the love triangle only lasted for two days, with Tarik telling the cameras, "Day 3, Hazel just put an end to it. Hazel felt like Minty was more into me than she was into Hazel."

However, Tarik confessed he had texted Minty again a couple of weeks back. Tarik said he just wanted to check on Minty and make sure she was okay amid the coronavirus pandemic, and he insisted that he was going to tell Hazel but was a little afraid to do so.
Tarik then picked Hazel up at the airport and the pair had a sweet reunion.
"This is the turning point in my life. It's like everything before her and then everything after her," Tarik said.
On the drive to Tarik's home, Hazel was shocked by all of the big houses in America and how clean everything looked. Tarik's home was huge compared to Hazel's place in the Philippines considering Hazel lived in poverty, and Hazel said she felt overwhelmed.

One day after Hazel's arrival, Tarik was ready to pick a venue for their wedding, but Hazel wanted their pace to slow down since she had a lot to adjust to.
Hazel said her parents wanted her to get married in their church and religion is important to her, but Tarik tried to talk her into marrying at Edgar Cayce's A.R.E., a cultural and spiritual center that apparently means a lot to him.
The center was named after a famous psychic, but Hazel thought the place was weird and said she didn't want to get married there. Hazel, however, told her fiance that she'd think about it and they could compromise and make a decision together about their future.
During Hazel's second day in America, she was shown unpacking her belongings and feeling a little bit overwhelmed.
Tarik told Hazel that his daughter Auri always slept with him because she was scared of being alone in her room. Auri had been sleeping with him for seven years, and he said Hazel would have to be okay with that because the arrangement wasn't going to change.
Hazel, however, worried Auri's constant presence would ruin their romance and intimacy, and she knew they'd need privacy as a couple.
Knowing how close Tarik and Auri were, Hazel feared she wouldn't fit into their relationship.

Tarik and Hazel hoped to bring Hazel's son over to the United States in about a year or so. She was used to seeing her son once a week given the boy lives with his father and stepmother.
Hazel later told the cameras she had found something on Tarik's phone that worried her -- a message to her ex, Minty.
Hazel told Tarik that she had discovered a message to Minty on his phone, and Tarik replied, "I mean, I was going to tell you. It's just this virus thing happened... It hit right in the city where she is, so I just wanted to text her and go, 'Yo, are you good?!'"
Hazel asked why Tarik hadn't been honest with her right away, and he acknowledged that she was right.

Tarik said he didn't have a problem with Hazel looking through his phone but it was concerning that she maybe didn't trust him fully and felt the need to check his messages to begin with.
Hazel felt the virus was just an excuse to get in touch with Minty, but Tarik promised he wouldn't contact their ex again.
"It worries me if I can trust him," Hazel lamented.
Production then shut down for two weeks due to coronavirus, and Tarik and Hazel tried to make the best out of quarantining together.
Hazel said she was no longer angry at Tarik for texting their ex Minty because he promised he wouldn't do it again. Hazel therefore determined they were ready to find her a girlfriend, and so Tarik made Hazel a dating profile on a website.
Tarik and Hazel looked through women's profiles together, and Tarik just hoped Hazel still considered marrying him the No. 1 priority.

"I want a sister, a best friend and a lover," Hazel shared.
Hazel told the cameras that she wanted to find a sexy, brown American woman to date, but Tarik wanted to set some rules first so no jealousy would ensue. Tarik just asked Hazel to hide her relationship with a woman from his daughter Auri, which Hazel understood.
"I really hope we can find a perfect girl that we both agree on. Having a girlfriend is always what I wanted, but my relationship with Tarik is more important. So I just hope it feels different from the last time with Minty," Hazel explained.
The couple then looked at women together and Tarik joked, "Come to mama and come to papa!"
With 24 days in lockdown amid the coronavirus pandemic and 41 days left to wed, the pair was stuck in the house with Tarik's daughter Auri and Hazel said it was sad that she couldn't leave the house and explore.
Hazel missed her son Harrey and told him via FaceTime that she'd come to get him eventually, although it "may take a long time."
So are Tarik and Hazel still together now or did the 90 Day Fiance couple break up?

Tarik also wished Hazel a happy Mother's Day in May.
"When life dealt you crap, you turned it into fertilizer. I was proud of you before the cameras rolled. And I'll be proud of you... Well anyway. I'm your defense mechanism against anyone. And I mean anyone. Happy Mother's Day Zellybean," Tarik wrote alongside a photo of Hazel and her son.
