90 Day Fiance: What Rachel And Jon's Relationship Is Like Today
90 Day Fiancé fans know the TLC franchise has an eye for casting the most outrageous couples. Thus it came as a shock to viewers that 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days stars Rachel Bear and Jon Walters were surprisingly...normal.
New Mexico-based Rachel randomly met British Jon on a karaoke app, but they quickly fell in love after dating long-distance. Rachel realized she was pregnant from a one-night stand prior to becoming serious with Jon, yet they continued their relationship and Jon even was virtually present in Rachel's delivery room, per Newsweek. Rachel gave birth to daughter Lucy, and they both flew to Weston-super-Mare, England, to meet Jon face to face. Following a rocky realization of Jon's criminal past — which affected him obtaining a visa to relocate to the U.S. — Jon and Rachel tied the knot at the end of Season 2.
The married couple are still living apart, however. Rachel has an older daughter with another ex and due to a custody issue, she can't move to England to be with Jon, according to In Touch Weekly. So what is Rachel and Jon's relationship like today? Keep scrolling to find out!
Rachel and Jon Walters are still together but won't be back on '90 Day Fiancé'
Rachel and Jon Walters are still a happily married couple. They frequently post updates about their romance to a shared Instagram page, @followourfairytale. Rachel even shared Father's Day photos with Jon and his stepdaughter Lucy, saying in a caption Lucy is "blessed to have [Jon] as her Daddy...even being so far away."
The couple returned to reality TV with an appearance on spinoff series 90 Day Fiancé: What Now?, filmed in January 2020. At the time, Rachel traveled to visit Jon after almost a year apart. Rachel opened up later in 90 Day Fiancé: Self-Quarantined about losing her job amidst the pandemic. She was originally fearful that a lack of finances could impact Jon's spousal visa approval, but thankfully, by September 2020, Rachel told fans on her YouTube channel that she had found a new position that meant Jon's "visa is no longer in jeopardy."
Plus, Rachel is already planning her next trip to England in May 2021. Just don't expect their reunion to be on camera. "A happily married couple doesn't make great TV," the couple stated, per Reality TV World. Additionally, Jon will be meeting Rachel's older daughter, Ella, for the first time, and her biological father doesn't approve of her being on the reality series. The Walters family is also expanding, with the addition of a new puppy in January 2021, per In Touch Weekly. This couple is nothing but happiness!
