90 Day Fiance: What Alan And Kirlyam's Relationship Is Like Today
TLC's 90 Day Fiancé has become one of the most-watched reality television shows on television since it's debut in 2014, according to Bloomberg. The show follows the often-scandalous exploits of American citizens and their foreign fiancés as they navigate the K-1 visa program in hopes of getting married within the three-month timeframe so they're able to stay in the country permanently.
The premise of 90 Day Fiancé has all the makings of reality TV gold, from fiancés grappling with cultural differences to arguments between family members about their motives and experiencing the pressures of planning a wedding in such a short amount of time. Some couples have handled the struggles better than others. Some have lived happily-ever-after, whereas other couples could not weather the storm and broke up before they walked down the aisle.
An OG couple that has come out relatively unscathed is Alan and Kirlyam Cox from the first season of 90 Day Fiancé. Scroll down to find out what their relationship is like today.
Alan and Kirlyam overcame their problems and are now parents
Over its eight seasons, fans of 90 Day Fiancé have seen the ups and downs of its cast members and their unique bonds. A couple that made a lasting impression was Alan and Kirlyam Cox, who had a pretty unusual courtship. According to Screen Rant, the couple first met when they were extremely young. Alan was 20 years old when he traveled from Los Angeles, California to Goiania, Brazil on a Mormon mission and met Kirlyam who was 11 years old at the time. They two stayed friends but did not develop feelings for each other until a decade later when they reconnected at a friend's wedding. They got engaged and Kirlyam moved to the United States on a K-1 visa which kicked started their reality TV show life.
Since their departure from the show, Alan and Kirlyam have created happy and successful lives and entered into parenthood. They decided to take back their narrative and created a YouTube channel to document their lives in 2017. In October of that same year, Alan and Kirlyam welcomed son Liam, per TLC Me. Their son makes regular appearances on their social media accounts, but will soon have to share the spotlight as the couple announced on Instagram that they are expecting another son in 2021.
With many couples not able to last on reality shows, it's definitely heartwarming to see that Alan and Kirlyam are still going strong.
