Ah, 90 Day Fiancé—the show that proves love is blind, but also sometimes deaf, dumb, and completely oblivious to red flags. Over the years, we’ve seen couples fall madly in love, only to crash and burn in the most dramatic, meme-worthy ways possible. While some breakups were predictable (cough Big Ed and Liz cough), others sent shockwaves through the TLC fandom.
So, grab your popcorn (or your K-1 visa application), because we’re diving into the most jaw-dropping breakups that 90 Day Fiancé has ever served up!
1. Darcey Silva & Jesse Meester – A Toxic Tango of Tears and Ego
If reality TV had a heartbreak hall of fame, Darcey Silva would be its queen. Her relationship with Jesse Meester was a rollercoaster—except instead of thrilling loops, it was just endless emotional whiplash.
Darcey, our favorite drama magnet, fell hard for Jesse, a Dutch model-slash-motivational speaker (who mostly motivated himself). The two spent most of their time either arguing about how to cut a steak (yes, really) or taking dramatic pauses for effect.
When they finally called it quits, it wasn’t just a breakup—it was an international event. Jesse claimed he was “traumatized,” while Darcey sobbed into her ever-growing collection of hair extensions. And just when we thought we were free from their chaos, they both reappeared in later seasons—because, of course, they did.
2. Mohamed Jbali & Danielle Mullins – The Green Card Gone Wrong
If “love is patient” and “love is kind,” then this relationship was neither. Mohamed and Danielle’s romance was doomed from the start, with a glaring age gap, cultural differences, and, well, a complete lack of attraction from Mohamed’s side.
Mohamed, always looking like he had somewhere better to be, delivered one of the coldest breakup lines in 90 Day Fiancé history:
“You’re not exactly my type… physically.”
Danielle, heartbroken (and rightfully furious), famously tried to get his green card revoked, turning their split into a legal thriller. Mohamed fled to Florida like a man escaping a crime scene, and Danielle took her revenge by tracking him down for an on-camera confrontation. We can only assume his Google search history still includes “how to disappear forever.”
3. Paul Staehle & Karine Martins – The Saga of Running (Literally) Away from Problems
Paul and Karine’s relationship had more red flags than a clearance sale at Target. From the beginning, it was clear that these two were not built for smooth sailing—especially since Paul spent half the relationship running dramatically into the woods every time they argued.
Between translator app fights, financial struggles, and a chaotic marriage that involved restraining orders, breakups, and reunions, these two were a walking, talking soap opera. Their final split was messy (shocking, right?), involving police reports, accusations, and more social media drama than a high school group chat.
The only surprise here? That they lasted as long as they did.
4. Colt Johnson & Larissa Dos Santos Lima – The Explosive Breakup That Fueled 1000 Memes
Colt and Larissa were doomed from the moment they met, and no, it wasn’t just because of Colt’s obsession with his mom, Debbie. Their fights were legendary, their makeups even worse, and their entire relationship could be summarized as: “Who’s pressing charges this week?”
Larissa, never one to hold back, called Colt a “cheap man” with the “sexual drive of a dead turtle,” while Colt seemed mostly interested in collecting cats and awkwardly avoiding confrontation. Their marriage imploded with multiple arrests, public drama, and a divorce that came faster than Colt could block Larissa on Instagram.
Their love story may have ended, but their breakup remains one of 90 Day Fiancé’s most iconic trainwrecks.
5. Big Ed & Rose Vega – The “No Neck, No Love” Breakup
Big Ed and Rose’s relationship was uncomfortable from the start. With Ed constantly giving unsolicited “hygiene tips” (hello, mayo hair masks) and Rose side-eyeing him like a woman calculating her life choices, we knew this wouldn’t end well.
The breakup was swift and satisfying. After Ed dropped the bombshell that he never wanted more kids (something he conveniently forgot to mention earlier), Rose shut him down faster than a WiFi signal in a storm.
She left him in the Philippines with nothing but his camera crew and an existential crisis. Meanwhile, Rose glowed up, launched a YouTube channel, and became an independent queen. Talk about a glow-up and go moment!
6. Angela Deem & Michael Ilesanmi – The Relationship That Wouldn’t Die (Until It Did)
Angela and Michael’s relationship was like a bad habit—impossible to quit, no matter how toxic it got. Angela, the queen of shouting, spent most of their time together screaming at Michael via FaceTime, demanding loyalty while simultaneously threatening to leave him every other episode.
After years of on-again, off-again drama, accusations of cheating, and enough screaming to give an entire village hearing loss, Michael finally called it quits. Fans rejoiced, but let’s be honest—we won’t believe it’s over until Angela stops FaceTiming him from a convenience store parking lot.
Final Thoughts – Love Is a Battlefield (Especially on TLC)
If 90 Day Fiancé has taught us anything, it’s that true love sometimes needs a translator app, a lie detector test, and a good divorce lawyer. From green card scandals to explosive fights, these breakups shocked the world and gave us some of the most legendary reality TV moments of all time.
