The series also stars Memphis, a 34-year-old from Muskegon, MI, and Hamza, a 28-year-old from Kairouan, Tunisia; Mike, a 34-year-old from Thiells, NY, and Ximena, a 24-year-old from Pereira, Colombia; Ella, a 29-year-old from Idaho Falls, ID, and Johnny, a 34-year-old from Jinan, China; Ben, a 52-year-old from Fraser, MI, and Mahogany, a 24-year-old from San Bartolo, Peru.

Usman was previously married to Lisa Hamme, 54, whom he had met on Facebook two years before filming 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days’ fourth season.

Lisa struggled to trust Usman during their relationship and they split in May 2020. Usman later served Lisa with divorce papers in December 2020 and Lisa has since remarried with a childhood friend.

90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days will follow long-distance relationships and document how each couple found each other as well as their first in-person meeting in a foreign country “and the countless surprises, drama and culture clashes along the way.”

In most 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days cases, lovebirds are hoping to get engaged and begin the K-1 Visa process.

After traveling across the world, the couples will determine if love can conquer all as they experience challenges such as language barriers, interfering families, cultural differences, age gaps, ex partners, and “shady pasts,” according to TLC.

Below is what happened on the seventh episode of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days’ fifth season:

USMAN and KIM

Usman said Kim had impressed him with the way she had taken charge at his music-video photo shoot and he was ready to spend some quality time with her to find out if their relationship could truly turn into something romantic.

Kim was also curious as to whether she and Usman would have sexual chemistry, and so she was hoping to move things along and at least kiss her love interest.

The pair headed to Stone Town, a “historical place” and “old part of Zanzibar, Tanzania,” according to Usman, and during the drive over, Usman told Kimberly, “I like you a lot.”

“I like you too… I love you!” she joked.

Kim asked Usman to give up his hotel room and give it to someone on his team so they could spend a night together. Usman, however, didn’t want to sleep in the same room as Kim until he determined they should be together and be official boyfriend and girlfriend.

“I agreed because that’s what you wanted and I respect it, but I need you to respect my rules too,” Kim snapped.

Usman accused Kim of rushing things, but she assured him that she wasn’t begging him for sex and that they only had a short time together in Tanzania.

Kim became short and aggravated with Usman because she had been everything for him on this trip — including his assistant, manager, friend and fan — and she didn’t know how else she could prove herself.

Kim said she wouldn’t ask Usman to stay with her again and he’d have to tell her when he was ready.

With that being said, Usman decided to spend the night with Kim, and she was absolutely thrilled.

“Tonight could be the night that I’ve been waiting for! Please let it be tonight,” Kim joked.

Usman, however, told his Super Fan that it was “too early” for them to have sex.

Kim expressed disappointment that she and Usman wouldn’t be having sex that night, but she was at least happy they could cuddle and sleep next to each other.

GINO and JASMINE

After a pretty dramatic day in which Jasmine had lashed out at Gino about his ex-wife and revealed she had been taking birth control pills, Gino seemed to feeling upset and uneasy. He had been hoping to get Jasmine pregnant and start a family right there in Panama.

Jasmine said her divorce from her ex-husband had finally been finalized after she went through “hell,” and so she planned to celebrate with her girlfriends that night.

“You don’t invite your current new boyfriend to your divorce party. Also, things have been kind of hard between Gino and I — not trusting him, the arguments. So I feel we could both benefit from a night away from each other,” Jasmine explained.

Gino was surprised Jasmine refused to allow him to join in the fun, but the couple was going to travel to a romantic island together the very next day.

Jasmine’s friends booked a suite at the hotel to celebrate her divorce considering she had experienced many “mental breakdowns” during the demise of her former marriage.

Jasmine admitted to her friends that she felt “sick with jealousy” over Gino’s ex and how his house had been decorated by his former wife. Jasmine’s friends playfully called her crazy, and it quickly became clear her friends consider her “extraordinarily jealous.”

Jasmine revealed how she had modeled and danced for Gino before being intimate and essentially drove him wild, and then an exotic dancer arrived dressed as a military man for the group.

Jasmine felt bad for looking at and touching the dancer, but she appeared to have a blast as Gino packed up his belongings for the trip ahead.

When the dancer grinded on Jasmine and gave her a lap dance, she noted how Gino was going to be angry at her.

Jasmine eventually welcomed Gino into her celebration at the very end of the night, and Jasmine admitted she had gotten a bit “wild” with a surprise. Gino watched a video of a man dancing on Jasmine, and his face suddenly dropped.

“I don’t like it,” Gino said. “She should have never had a stripper at the party to begin with. And why are her friends showing me a video?… What’s the point of that?”

Gino also didn’t appreciate Jasmine laughing about the situation with her friends. He said it seemed like Jasmine didn’t care about his feelings at all.

Jasmine insisted she had “fun,” but Gino pointed out how she’d be furious if an exotic dancer had touched him and danced all over him. With that being said, Jasmine apologized and promised not to do something like that again.

Gino called Jasmine’s behavior that night “immature,” and he was still debating whether to propose marriage to her by the end of his trip.

ALINA and CALEB

Alina and Caleb enjoyed a nice dinner out for Elijah’s last night with the couple.

Caleb revealed Elijah had walked in on the couple having sex and it was a very awkward moment for everyone involved. Elijah apparently had a key to the couple’s hotel room and had dropped by to grab a brush, and he admitted he liked what he saw from Caleb.

Caleb had mixed emotions about Elijah leaving, saying Elijah had been stepping on his toes and tended to be a bit of a diva. However, he also helped Alina a lot with her wheelchair and getting around.

Elijah then suggested they should play “Never Have I Ever,” which led to steamy revelations. Caleb revealed he had slept with over 100 women, which shocked Alina and made her worry that “he’s just a player and not prepared for anything serious.”

Elijah also said, “Never have I ever kept a secret from my partner who I have known for 13 years,” before calling Alina a “b-tch” and demanding she “spill it out” right away.

Alina, frustrated and upset with Elijah, promised Caleb they would have a discussion upon returning to their room because she didn’t want to have a serious conversation at a bar.

Caleb looked forward to getting to know Alina better and pointed out over drinks how he didn’t want to prematurely label their relationship, but then Alina snapped, “I kind of wanna. I am tired of hearing how you are being indecisive and all this stuff.”

“I don’t want to give you an answer until I find out what you’re hiding,” Caleb said.

“You’re just using that as an excuse right now,” Alina argued.

Alina worried her big secret was going to ruin her relationship with Caleb and cause him not to trust her.

That night, while laying in bed, Alina told Caleb how she had briefly lived with her ex-boyfriend while she and Caleb were dating. Also, in the early stages of Alina and Caleb’s relationship, Alina and the man she was living with were not completely broken up.

Caleb took the news well, but he said this situation indicated why they needed to take things slowly and get to know each other better. Caleb refused to commit to Alina, but she at least hoped to have that conversation before parting ways.

“This solidified my reasoning… I want a relationship built on trust when she lives halfway across the world… Finding this out makes me question if it was a waste of time coming out here in the first place,” Caleb said in a confessional.

MEMPHIS and HAMZA

Memphis felt angry and deceived over Hamza’s lie about his age. Hamza was only 26 years old at the time, which was two years younger than he had told Memphis.

Regardless, Memphis and Hamza headed to an embassy two hours away to get the ball rolling on their marriage. They couple planned to stay in a hotel together overnight, but Hamza didn’t have anything planned out.

The couple’s driver also forgot his insurance papers, and so Memphis told Hamza that he needed to be more prepared for things.

“Memphis nags me a lot. I do not like her attitude at all,” Hamza complained.

The couple wasn’t going to make it to the consulate on time, and Memphis told Hamza that he didn’t seem to care and getting married appeared to be a game to him. She accused him of being immature and “not being a man.”

Memphis, however, was very pleased with their room that night. Hamza said he only drinks with someone special, and Memphis joked about how she wanted to get her man drunk that night.

Memphis essentially told Hamza that she didn’t want to return to the United States just dating him. Hamza therefore got upset, thinking Memphis was more caught up in the papers than she really cared about him or their relationship.

“You like Hamza or you like marriage?” Hamza asked.

“I like both,” Memphis admitted. “You have to show that you can do good for me. I need you to be the man.”

Memphis gave Hamza an ultimatum that they either get married or break up. She said if Hamza really cared about her, he would make sure they got married during that trip.

ELLA and JOHNNY

Ella had been expecting Johnny to fly to Singapore and quarantine there for two weeks and then travel to the United States. But after Johnny’s Singapore visa was denied, Ella started looking into another solution.

Ella therefore met with her best friend Korbie and her husband to receive some advice and also vent her frustrations. Ella revealed she had discovered Dubai could be an option for Johnny since he wouldn’t need a visa to travel there.

Johnny could quarantine in Dubai for two weeks and then fly to America, but Ella said Johnny had decided to delay his trip because he was worried about COVID-19 and the Delta variant at the time.

Johnny had purchased a ticket to Dubai in two weeks from that point, but due to his hesitation, Ella wondered if this was a sign Johnny was never going to come to America. This also wasn’t the first time Johnny’s plan to come to Idaho had fallen through.

“Every time, a new issue comes up, and it’s getting a little on the ridiculous side of how much crap I’ve had to put up with,” Ella lamented.

Ella’s friends wondered if Johnny had been hiding something, and Korbie’s husband suggested maybe Johnny deeply values family and found moving away from his parents and son very difficult.

Ella said she was tired of Johnny’s excuses and having to wait for him, especially since he was vaccinated and had bought an entire safety suit for his travels.

Over FaceTime, Johnny pointed out to Ella how his medical bills would be very expensive if he needed to be hospitalized in the United States, but Ella said the situation wasn’t risky enough for Johnny to be so cautious and cancel their plans.

Johnny wasn’t sure his health and safety would be guaranteed, but Ella insisted Johnny would be fine and there appeared to be some things he was hiding from her. Johnny told Ella that his parents were happy for him and there was no issue there.

“It is true that my parents have concerns about my relationship… but [I will not let] my parents interfere in my relationship. If I get sick, then I cannot provide to my family,” Johnny explained in a confessional.

Ella asked Johnny to stop being hesitant because he was driving her nuts, and she noted how his behavior was resulting in “emotional trauma” for.

“I don’t want to let you down,” Johnny said.

“This is on you. I am not going to change my opinion. I want you here now. That is where I stand — no exceptions,” Ella said.

Ella told the cameras that she felt “enraged and super devastated” and if Johnny wasn’t willing to commit to her, she’d have to stop waiting and move on.

MIKE and XIMENA

Mike was worried Ximena had dated a very dangerous man, a hitman, but he was prepared to leave the past in the past.

Ximena then had coffee on the patio and FaceTimed with her sister Wendy. Ximena shared how she had sweet moments with Mike and then other moments — away from her kids — weren’t the best.

“He is super, super gross,” Ximena admitted.

“He throws clothes everywhere like a kid. He’ll let out a fart in front of me. And he burps on top of you. So it’s like, ‘Oh no!’ It’s funny but infuriating at the same time… Can you imagine three or four years from now?! It’s crazy.”

Ximena wasn’t sure she’d be able to tolerate such behavior for much longer and confessed how she is especially squeamish and Mike had disappointed her.

Wendy advised Ximena to have an open and honest conversation with Mike, and so she agreed to speak her mind even though Mike would probably feel uncomfortable. Ximena said she wanted a partner on her level — someone who’s responsible and clean.

“He needs to change his ways before I spend the rest of my life with him,” Ximena noted.

Ximena later vented to Mike about the things she didn’t like about him, including how he left messy clothes around their room and burped and farted in front of her after eating.

“It disgusts me. That makes me fall out of love,” Ximena shared. “The truth is that I’m disappointed about all of those things.”

Mike apologized for his behavior but wondered where all of this was coming from. Mike said farting in front of Ximena was an accident and these were things he could easily change — unlike “going to jail, running away from kids or killing people for money.”

Ximena said she wasn’t going to act like Mike’s mother, and he replied, “Okay, that’s fair. I know I have a lot to work on, but I want to work on those things together to get better.”

“I love you,” Mike said.

“I love you too, very much,” Ximena said.

But Ximena warned Mike that if he couldn’t change those things about himself, she would be done with him and their relationship wouldn’t advance.

Mike, however, felt hurt. He wished Ximena accepted him for who he is and would work on things with him. He therefore wondered if something “deeper” was going on that he wasn’t aware of yet.

BEN and MAHOGANY

Ben was 12 hours away from traveling to Peru to met his girlfriend Mahogany in-person for the first time.

Ben said he and Mahogany had developed the deepest emotional and spiritual connection he’s ever experienced, but he had booked two separate hotel rooms in Lima since they were saving their physical relationship for after marriage.

“I think the best sex is worth waiting for,” Ben shared.

Ben’s children were suspicious and displeased about Ben’s new relationship, and they also questioned Mahogany’s authenticity and whether she’s a real person.

But one of Ben’s sons agreed to drive him to the airport and Ben talked about how “special” and “amazing” Mahogany had proven herself to be.

“If this fails and I fall flat on myself, I’m willing to take that hit,” Ben said, before gushing about how his love for Mahogany was real and she loved him in return unconditionally.

Ben and Mahogany weren’t communicating much during his travel day, and Mahogany suddenly texted Ben about how her father didn’t trust Ben’s intentions and didn’t want him to come to Peru. Ben was “speechless” over this news and didn’t know what to think.

“This isn’t the first time I’ve tried to meet Mahogany. About a month ago, I was going to fly down for her birthday and we were both super excited,” Ben explained.

“We were counting down the days and even the hours, but when we were only three days away from taking off, she called and said that I couldn’t come because she wanted me to meet her parents and her parents were away.”

Hearing Mahogany’s dad was skeptical of him made Ben feel very worried and nervous. Ben told Mahogany that God was in control and she needed to trust her heart, and so he proceeded to fly to Peru.

“I am not giving up,” Ben noted.
