After 16 episodes of Dominican Republic girls trip fiascos, Colt Johnson’s leg surgery, and awkward dates with Gino Palazzolo, the 90 Day: The Single Life Season 5 Tell-All delivered classic 90 Day Fiancé-style blowups!
The two-part bombshell had audiences locked in to see how the single life– or not-so-single-life– treated the eight returning cast members and where they’re at now.
Keep reading for ‘The Single Life’ aftermath and to get updates on all of the returning singles.
Liz: Engaged, But on the Rocks with Kim
This season, Liz Woods took a trip with her franchise besties Sophie Sierra and Julia Trubkina to the Dominican Republic to have a little fun following her battle with cancer. While there, she met Villa, one of Pedro Jimeno’s friends, and the two immediately hit it off and spent the rest of the trip together. However, due to her health, Liz ended up breaking things off with Villa before heading home to Washington.
Now, Liz revealed that she is engaged to her new man Alec– the same man she told Villa she was causally seeing back at home.
“We were a little rocky for a week or two,” she explained when asked how Alec felt once she returned from her trip. “I shut down when I came back from the DR and then we kind of picked everything back up and now we’re engaged.”
The Tell-All stage brought Liz, Alec and Villa together for the first time, where Alec agreed that Villa is a point of contention in his relationship with Liz– something that may be even more true now that Villa and Liz revealed that they fell in love in the DR. Due to Alec’s issues with their friendship, Liz has blocked Villa on social media and the two said an emotional goodbye at the Tell-All.
During Liz’s segment, Julia revealed that Liz told her about a one-night stand she had with Kim Menzies’ son Jamal “a while ago.” Kim was not a fan and apparently had no clue her friend slept with her son, creating a divide in real time. At the end of the show, Liz and Kim made up and put the drama behind them.
Pedro: Dating, Against His Sister’s Wishes
Pedro’s story began when his online situationship Sophie arrived in the DR with her friends. He was intent on making their relationship official, but Sophie was still healing from her nasty public separation from husband Rob Warne. After a miscommunication about their priorities and a blowup with Sophie and Pedro’s sister Nicole, the two parted ways for good.
Now, Pedro has fallen in love with Valentina, a specialized psychologist whom he called “the love of [his] life.” The two met through Instagram and are already discussing marriage and kids. Even though his sister is still not satisfied with the girl he’s bringing home– even going as far as to call her an escort– Pedro is head over heels for Valentina.
“I’m learning from my past,” Pedro said. “I’m going to defend her [against my family] with my shield and my sword. I don’t want to make the same mistake I made in the past. This is the woman I’m going to marry.”
Sophie: Dating an International Model
On the Tell-All stage, Sophie insisted numerous times that Pedro now hates her because he doesn’t want to see her anymore. Although she’s still upset about the way Pedro’s family treated her in the DR, Sophie is in a new relationship with Jay Ransome, an international model and fitness trainer, who is set to move in with her as soon as he hones his modeling career in Los Angeles.
Sophie also revealed that her much-anticipated divorce is near finalized with Rob, who recently told his Instagram followers that he is stepping away from the franchise due to viewer toxicity.
Gino: Getting Divorce and Dating…Maybe
Gino’s first season since splitting from Jasmine Pineda followed him as he attempted to reignite the flames with previous fling, Natalie. Gino traveled to Washington D.C. to meet Natalie’s friends and daughter– the latter of whom absolutely despised him– before eventually friend-zoning her. Fans last saw Gino as he began to explore a potential relationship with Lexi, who is 26 years younger than him.
Gino revealed that for the last seven months, he’s been talking to Lexi nonstop and feels a connection to her, despite Lexi still living with her baby daddy and claiming that she doesn’t know if the two are in a relationship. Lexi did say that she also feels a spark with Gino and would pursue a relationship with him if she didn’t have a child with someone else.
Jasmine joined the group to try to convince Lexi not to pursue Gino because of how he treats women– a concern Natalie seconded via recorded statement.
“I think he is a manipulating, conniving liar who likes to lead women on [who] feel sorry for him, and then turn the narrative around whenever it doesn’t suit him anymore,” Natalie said. “He’s not a man of his word, so whatever he tells you is not the truth. When he tells you this, this and this, it’s because he needs something from you or you could add value to his life … it’s embarrassing to me.”
Lexi and Gino denied all of Jasmine and Natalie’s accusations and maintained that Gino treats women well. They’re looking forward to seeing what the future holds for them.
Vanja: Dating and Vying for an Engagement
During this season, Vanja Grbic fell fast in love with doctor Tony. She is eager to move into a long-term commitment– ideally marriage– but they hit some snags along the way with her cousin’s disapproval, Tony’s reservations about her dance career, and his unwillingness to propose. They ended the season on the cusp of buying a new home together.
Tony joined the Tell-All stage to share that he and Vanja aren’t living together because it’s prohibited in Vanja’s culture unless they are married or engaged. He went on to share that he’s hesitant to take that step because Vanja is set on not having children, which is something he’s grown to want. She explained that her childhood trauma influenced her decision to never have children and that she’s not budging on her choice.
The couple left the Tell-All stage still undecided on their future, but hopeful that they can compromise on their differences and get engaged.
Kim: Happily “Seeing Someone” and All Resolved with Jamal
Fans left Kim as she returned home after a trip to London with her son to meet her online beau, Wayne. Jamal approved of their relationship and the two hit it off, so Kim left the UK in good spirits.
Kim and Wayne are still going strong, with Kim explaining that they’ve been exclusively seeing each other for nine months and that she’s planning to return to the UK for her birthday– this time without Jamal third-wheeling. Wayne joined the cast to share that he is just as happy with Kim as she is with him.
“I think we’re happy the way we are,” Kim said. “We have a plan. We’re giving it a solid year, I’m going back next week. He’s gonna come out here and see me during the summer. At the end of the year, we’ll decide, am I going to move there? Is he going to come here? We’ll figure it out.”
This season also followed Kim’s journey to reconnect with Jamal after the news got out that she placed Jamal’s two full siblings for adoption before he was born. Jamal joined the Tell-All to confirm that his relationship with his mom is “tight” and that she’s his “best friend,” despite the hardship surrounding her secrets. He revealed that Kim catfished her biological son Larry as Jamal for three months before he found out, which caused a rift that they’ve since repaired.
“[She’s] the only one I got,” Jamal said of his mom. “No matter if she did some weird sh*t or not.”
Cortney: Engaged and Done with Colt…Maybe
The Ashley reported earlier this month that Cortney Reardanz got engaged to her new boyfriend Phil after just three months of dating– not long after her disastrous relationship with Colt ended.
Cortney and Phil are still together, but did spend a month apart. It was revealed that for her birthday, Cortney planned a party with all of her Hunt for Love castmates, where she reconnected with Colt to extend an invite. Allegedly, things got flirty between the exes, but nothing grew from it and Cortney later reconciled with Phil. Now, the happy couple is moving on to bigger and better things.
Colt: The Ultimate Loser of the Tell-All
Perhaps the worst off among the Season 5 cast was 11-time “90 Day Fiancé” alum Colt, who started the season in Cortney’s parents’ home with a broken leg and a phone full of other women he was talking to. He received an icy welcome from Cortney, Kim and Vanja, and as the night went on, even Gino and Pedro turned from supporters to haters. Throughout the three-hours of the Tell-All, Colt was called a bum, a leech, a cockroach, a scrub, a sugar baby, a “lying, cheating hoe,” and much, much more.
After Cortney broke up with him, Colt went to live with his other girlfriend Diana in Brazil. He insisted that he changed his lying and cheating ways, but it was revealed that Colt was still messaging other women online and that he allegedly hooked up with a woman in Canada while visiting his mom. Colt left the Tell-All frustrated that everyone was “ganging up” on him and unsure about his relationship back in Brazil. After seeing the evidence that Colt was texting the woman in Canada, Diana told producers that she cannot trust him and their relationship may very well be over.
Season 5 of “90 Day: The Single Life” is currently streaming on HBO Max, including both parts of the Tell-All.
