David took to his Instagram on Wednesday to post a simple message reading, \u201cMe and Sheila are broken up and we are good [friends].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sheila has yet to comment on the breakup publicly.<\/p>\n<p>Although fans were left without an explanation as to why the couple broke up, David\u2019s announcement comes after months of speculation online that the couple might be done. In early August, several \u201c90 Day\u201d social media fan accounts posted that their relationship was \u201cover,\u201d despite neither David nor Sheila confirming the split until this week. Some fans continue to speculate that their split was due to conflict surrounding the complicated K-1 Visa process to bring Sheila and her son over to the United States from the Philippines. <\/p>\n<p>David\u2014 who hails from Nebraska\u2014 had shared on his Instagram in November 2024 that Sheila\u2019s application for the K-1 Visa had been denied, but that he was already working to submit the papers over again. In the comment section of an Instagram post from January, David wrote that he was still working hard on getting the visa, and that they were \u201cso tired\u201d of waiting but not giving up.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-73258 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/david-dangerfield-shiela.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"406\" height=\"353\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fans have been following David and Sheila\u2019s journey since they appeared on \u2018Before the 90 Days\u2019 in 2023. The couple met on a Facebook group for singles struggling with hearing loss. (David is completely deaf and nonverbal, while Sheila uses a hearing aid for her partial deafness.)<\/p>\n<p>Despite these barriers in communication, their relationship continued to thrive leading up to David\u2019s trip to the Philippines during their season of \u201cBefore the 90 Days.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-73261 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/sheila-david-90-day.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"575\" height=\"333\"  \/>David and Sheila during Season 6\u2026<\/p>\n<p>On his trip to Sheila\u2019s hometown, David encountered his fianc\u00e9\u2019s insecurity and trust issues. Sheila had found David\u2019s American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter to be too attractive and admitted her feelings of jealousy.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, the couple remained strong, even when David\u2019s first night with Sheila\u2019s family took a turn for the worse when her mother passed away unexpectedly after falling on dilapidated stairs at the family home. They stood by each other\u2019s sides through the tough grilling from host Shaun Robinson at the Tell-All event of their season and remained one of very few couples to stay together after the season ended. (In fact, they were the last couple from their season to break up, with the other seven couples either splitting up mid-season or after Season 6 ended.)<\/p>\n<p>David has documented at least three more trips to visit Sheila in the Philippines since the show wrapped while simultaneously raising money to try fix Sheila\u2019s home in the Philippines, as well as to buy a home for himself, Sheila and her son.<\/p>\n<p>In January 2024, David <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/f\/zjv554-support-our-family\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">created a\u00a0GoFundMe<\/a>, asking fans to donate to him so he could buy a house.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo live in a home with my family is a dream come true; however, I\u2019m hesitant because I\u2019m worried my job and current salary will not allow me to afford a home. Please help my family so we can be together,\u201d he wrote on the fundraising page. \u201cMy fianc\u00e9 Sheila and I met online in a group for deaf singles. We began talking every day for two years until 2023 when I flew to meet her in the Philippines. During our time there, her mother had an unfortunate accident that resulted [in] her passing. Despite all of the challenges we\u2019ve faced, Sheila and I have a very strong love and bond. We want to live together with her son in a safe home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>David revealed that, at the time, he was working as a janitor in a casino, as well as stocking shelves in a grocery store.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy salary alone will not be enough to purchase a good home for our family. Please help us to afford a quiet home where we can live together,\u201d he wrote on the fundraising page, which went on to raise over $21,000.<\/p>\n<p>In the comment section of his Instagram post announcing his and Sheila\u2019s breakup, David received plenty of support from other \u201c90 Day\u201d cast members.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sorry man,\u201d wrote his Season 6 co-star Tyray Mollett. \u201cI\u2019m glad that you two are still friends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSorry to hear that, David.
