Seven new couples are looking for love in all the international places on the newest season of \u201c90 Day Fiance.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show that started it all is back on TLC on May 10, bringing together romantic hopefuls striving for love and a K-1 visa (but hopefully mostly love).<\/p>\n

In the trailer for season 12, we see some of the couples, including Catie and Josh, who seem like they\u2019re off to a good start, wanting to make out for a solid four minutes.<\/p>\n

But things take a turn later in the clip when Catie is making out with another dude at a bar for who knows how long, sending Josh out the door.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also Rait, who is getting to know Mallorie’s Southern family and asks the burning question, \u201cAre you [a] redneck?\u201d<\/p>\n

In a press release, TLC said, \u201cTheir stories deliver a mix of heart, conflict, and crosscultural complexity that defines the 90 Day Fianc\u00e9 experience and has made it one of television\u2019s most addictive and enduring unscripted series.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meet the full line-up of couples below!<\/p>\n

Catie is a free spirited Portlander whose blunt honesty and OCD keeps life unpredictable. Her spontaneous habit of making out with all her friends and even strangers begin to push her fianc\u00e9 Josh to his limits as their wedding approaches. Josh is a calm, levelheaded man who loves Catie\u2019s bold spirit and spontaneity, but struggles with the chaos that often follows her. As the wedding approaches, Catie drops a bombshell weeks before the ceremony: she wants an open marriage, putting their engagement and future together in jeopardy.<\/p>\n

Marissa balances a high-powered New York career and raising her two sons in Pennsylvania, all while maintaining the expectations of her upper-crust, socialite family. During a girls\u2019 trip to Punta Cana, Marissa unexpectedly falls for Edward, a charming hotel concierge whose easygoing spirit is the opposite of her tightly scheduled life. Edward arrives in America but quickly learns that fitting into Marissa\u2019s world is harder than it looks. Dealing with judgment from Marissa’s tough ex-husband and her skeptical parents, the couple must figure out whether love can bridge the gap between their very different social classes and cultural worlds.<\/p>\n

Mallorie, a wild Southern force of nature, fell hard for Rasit, a dreamy boat captain she met during a girls\u2019 trip to Greece but bringing Rasit home to her small rural hometown proves challenging, as he struggles to connect with Mallorie\u2019s outspoken friends and navigate life as a foreigner. Tensions rise when Rasit asks Mallorie to help support his parents financially back home. When they finally discuss the future including a prenup and starting a family, their different points of views result in their fairytale future slipping away.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s wealthy and a well-known realtor famous for his southern charm and rowdy lake parties but when he meets Anabelle, a shy, attentive and warm Filipino caretaker, he quickly falls in love. She\u2019s the yin to his yang. Anabelle loves to take care of her man with full body scrub downs, dressing him from head to toe and even cutting his toenails. But their relationship is tested when Shea\u2019s meddling daughter Allison and troublemaking ex-wife Nicole resurfaces to stir gossip and expose his past infidelities, ultimately forcing Shea and Anabelle to question whether their love can withstand the weight of his complicated past.<\/p>\n

From the moment he arrives in the U.S., the couple is pushed to their limits, leaving Debby questioning whether Mido is truly ready for marriage or simply chasing stardom. With her friends and daughter openly doubting his intentions, the road to the altar becomes a true last minute cliffhanger.<\/p>\n

Their journey hits major roadblocks when K-1 visa troubles stall their plans, pushing Ashia to travel to Nigeria with her mother in hopes of finding a new way forward. There, the couple faces clashing families, differing expectations, and questions about their age gap and plans for children.

Paula, a quirky and fun-loving entrepreneur who firmly believes in manifestation, credits her vibrant life, thriving piercing business, and even her fianc\u00e9 Thomas to the power of the universe and her vast collection of miniatures who manifested her greatness. Meanwhile, Thomas is a frugal minimalist who prefers a stark, spartan lifestyle. These best friends-turned-fianc\u00e9s, discover just how different they are when Paula arrives in the U.S. and they clash on almost everything. When Paula\u2019s family arrives from Brazil and voices major red flags about Thomas\u2019s stubborn childish ways, she\u2019s forced to question whether love can overcome their wildly different approaches to life.<\/p>\n
