The couple first starred on Season 1 of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way.
Corey said he and Evelin felt an instant connection when they met and he initially hoped she’d move to the United States with him; however, she didn’t like Washington and really missed home.
Evelin told Corey that he needed to move to Ecuador in order to make their relationship work, and so he did just that, although a bit reluctantly since he had to quit his job and say goodbye to his family.
“I had a hard time adjusting to life in Engabao… I didn’t speak Spanish and I wanted to get married, but Evelin wasn’t as ready,” Corey recalled.
Evelin admitted it was never her dream to get married, and so they had to work through some issues, including the sudden and unexpected passing of Corey’s father back at home.
Following his father’s death, Corey proposed marriage to Evelin and she accepted a ring. Corey said things were going “pretty smooth” with Evelin but she was dragging her feet to set a wedding date.
Corey had also promised Evelin that he’d learn Spanish and engage more with her friends, family and Engabao locals.
“Nothing of that was happening, so I wasn’t ready to marry him yet,” Evelin shared. “I didn’t [think] you were ready either, [Corey].”
Corey said Evelin decided to go on a break and he interpreted her decision as a breakup. Evelin called it just “a break,” but Corey viewed it as being dumped.

Evelin explained that she wanted Corey to put more effort into their relationship and show he could follow through with all of the things he had promised her. Corey, however, acknowledged he was “devastated and heartbroken” and things weren’t right in his head.
Corey therefore recalled taking a trip to Peru and seeing another woman, before eventually returning to Ecuador.
Corey and Evelin then got stuck quarantining together amid the coronavirus pandemic, and Evelin was angry about his time with Jenny, saying they’d never be together if they weren’t forced to be in lockdown together.
Corey insisted he only hung out with Jenny for four days, but Evelin said there was more to the story that Corey came out with once she began pressuring him for more information.
“I asked, ‘Are you having sex with this woman?’ And then he’s like, ‘Oh, no, like, I tried it once, but I couldn’t get it up.’ Whether his d-ck worked or not, he still put himself in a position where that was an option,” Evelin explained.
“But I appreciated Corey telling me the whole truth so that we can start new and without secrets.”
Corey and Evelin were shown re-opening their bar in Engabao after six months of it being shutdown due to COVID-19. Evelin said re-opening the bar was awesome and it’s a good business for them to live by.
Corey insisted the pandemic had made his relationship with Evelin stronger, but Evelin still seemed angry over his “girl-hunting mission” in Peru.

“You gave me puppy eyes every day,” Evelin told her husband.

Evelin then confirmed she and Corey had a date set for their wedding and the ceremony was scheduled to take place in five months. The couple was planning their wedding, but Evelin said it was hard to trust Corey completely, even though she definitely still loved him.
Corey was excited about their upcoming nuptials but confessed to the cameras he hadn’t been entirely honest with Evelin about what actually happened with Jenny in Peru.
“When Evelin discovers new information that I withheld from her, yeah, it’s gonna be bad. It’s gonna be really bad,” Corey admitted.
Since Evelin said she never wanted to get married, she felt like she was failing herself and everything she had been preaching; however, she was willing to do it for love and the sake of Corey’s happiness and well-being.
Evelin’s relatives seemed surprised to hear Evelin’s decision to have a wedding, and they even expressed how they didn’t really trust Corey. Evelin’s sister Lesly also called Corey “fake” and said she didn’t think he’s the right man for her.
Lesly also had yet to find out about Corey’s fling with Jenny, so Evelin anticipated her sister would disapprove of Corey even more — which made Evelin second-guess marrying him.
When Corey and Evelin met with a wedding planner, Corey realized their wedding — which was scheduled for five months from that point — was going to be really expensive, and Evelin said Corey would be paying for everything.
Evelin wanted the best of the best, but Corey argued they could plan a nice wedding for not thousands and thousands of dollars.

Evelin was then shown planning her wedding with her sisters, Lipsy and Lesly. Evelin was looking at wedding dresses online, and Corey said he was super happy and excited about Evelin’s effort.
Corey had been hiding a white dress in the back room for about a year, and so he admitted it was a little dirty but he hoped Evelin would like it. Corey wanted to impress Evelin and her sisters.

But Evelin and her sisters pointed out how the dress looked “horrible,” old and dirty, like a prom dress.
The dress hadn’t even been passed down from generation to generation in Corey’s family, and then Corey revealed it belonged to his sister and had, in fact, been her prom dress over one year prior.
Corey said he had tried to find Evelin a new wedding dress but the options in America were too expensive.
Evelin admitted she didn’t even appreciate the thought and found Corey’s “cheap” gesture embarrassing. Evelin’s sisters thought Corey had “some nerve” to pull a move like that, and Evelin felt insulted.
Evelin realized Corey was just trying to get out of buying her a nice, new dress, and she said wearing his sister’s prom dress to her wedding was a big “hell no.”
Evelin later went to a local wedding dress designer’s shop in Ecuador, and when she tried on dresses, she freaked out a little bit because everything was beginning to feel so real.
An anxious Evelin said it was never her dream to have a wedding and get married, and her sisters acknowledged how much Evelin had changed for Corey.

Evelin tried on a beautiful gown, but it was clear Lipsy and Lesly weren’t genuinely happy for her.
“I’d feel different wearing this wedding dress if I felt sure Corey is the man I want to spend the rest of my life with. And at this moment, I don’t feel that way,” Evelin said, referencing Corey’s fling with a woman in Peru.
Evelin even toasted champagne with her sisters “to having regrets.”
Evelin shared with her sisters how Corey had presented that woman in Peru, Jenny, as his “girlfriend.”

Corey apparently explained to Evelin at the time that it was a translation error because he had only known the woman for a week and the same word for “girlfriend” and “friend” is used in English.
Evelin’s sisters weren’t buying that explanation and said they didn’t trust Corey at all and Evelin was “crazy” for marrying a cheater. They weren’t convinced Corey was fully invested in his relationship with Evelin and their future together.
After Lipsy and Lesly said they didn’t agree with Evelin marrying Corey, Evelin announced, “Well, now I have to tell you something. The truth of the matter is, one year ago, Corey and I went to Guayaquil and got married.”
Evelin’s sisters had shocked looks on their faces.
So what are the spoilers on Corey and Evelin’s relationship? Is the 90 Day Fiance couple still married or have they called it quits?
Evelin and Corey definitely appear to still be together, happy and married.
They both took to their respective Instagram Stories on September 16 to dish about their romance and secret wedding.

Evelin explained to her followers, “Back in 2019, when we were done filming, after we were on TV… Corey and I’s relationship was in the best moment ever. He did that amazing proposal that you all remember, and so I did say ‘yes’ and we were doing so good.”
“He agreed to stay in the country and so I agreed to get married,” she continued. “So we did it. It was a private moment just for me and him, no one was aware — not anyone in my family, not even one of my friends, no one.”
Evelin explained that they chose not to share the news with anyone because she “wasn’t ready to be a married lady” at that point. Evelin insisted the decision had “nothing to do with the show” and they were already “done filming.”
“We weren’t in a contract at that time. That’s why there were no cameras, no nothing,” she said. “It was just me and Corey… We got married after being done filming our season.”
Evelin said a friend she had trusted disappointed her by spilling the news of the marriage to the press and allegedly creating rumors about Evelin and Corey lying and intentionally misleading people.

“I’m not an actress, so how can I freakin’ pretend the proposal and everything we’ve been through? All of that was really real, and we are not fake,” Evelin insisted.
Evelin said once she and Corey were ready to share the news, they decided to film the new season of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way.

“You guys are seeing how everything goes, how my family and friends are going to find out about it. So stay tuned,” Evelin requested. “Just know we’re here… and I’m very honest… It was our right to keep it private until now when we’re giving it to you.”
Meanwhile, Corey conducted a Q&A on Instagram Stories.
A follower asked Corey, “Why did you lie about being married?”
Corey replied, “Keep watching and you will see. We aren’t hiding or [lying] about anything.”
When questioned on why he and Evelin decided to keep their marriage a secret, Corey revealed, “Evelin wasn’t ready for everyone to know so we kept it private. I respected her wishes until she was ready.”
Corey also answered a question asking why he and Evelin lied about “when and where” they tied the knot.
“You will see we aren’t [lying]. Be patient and you will be updated and informed about everything. Patience is a virtue,” Corey said.
Corey also gushed about his wife, hinting that they’re still an item.
Corey gushed about his favorite things about Evelin in one of his posts.

“Her strength, her beauty, her motivation to achieve greatness,” Corey bragged. “Evelin is the best woman I have ever known.”

One Instagram user asked, “Will Evelin come live in the USA one day?”
And Corey replied, “I can only hope. [Fingers crossed].”
Corey wouldn’t reveal whether he’s currently in Ecuador or the U.S. due to his current NDA contract.
However, Corey went on to boast about how Evelin “looks better than ever” after she was able to gain a little weight from her previous 82-84 pounds.
On September 16, Corey also posted a photo with Evelin and wrote, “Its finally revealed that we did actually get married years ago… Stay tuned because so many of the long awaited questions will be answered very soon! Are you guys ready?”
On September 7, Corey posted a couple of photos of himself and Evelin kissing on the beach.
“I never thought the day of planning a wedding with you would come!” Corey captioned the images.”
Corey also posted pictures of the couple smiling and posing on the beach in Engabao on July 16, suggesting the couple is still living in Ecuador together.
“Beach walks in the sunset,” Corey captioned the slideshow.
“It all feels like a dream and there is no one else in this world I’d rather take this step with! Did you guys watch the last episode? Wedding plans are in the works so fingers are crossed.”
