Meet “90 Day Fiancé” season 11 cast, including the show's first-ever throuple (exclusive)

What's even more dramatic than a 90 Day Fiancé couple? A 90 Day Fiancé throuple, of course!

Entertainment Weekly has your exclusive first look at season 11 of the popular TLC reality series that reveals the show's cast, including the franchise's first-ever throuple. The exclusive trailer (above) introduces all of the couples, including three new pairs, three returning, as well as a three-person relationship, which has never been featured on the show before.

The trailer begins with hopeful footage of returning franchise couples Sarper and Shekinah, Juan and Jessica, and Shawn and Alliya, who all appear to be feeling optimistic about their relationships and futures. "From slums to Beverly Hills," says Alliya after being greeted by Shawn at Los Angeles International Airport. "It's a new life. It's like I'm just born today." Meanwhile, Sarper and Shekinah have a picture-perfect day at the beach together, and Jessica welcomes Juan to her home in Wyoming where her kids are overjoyed to be reunited with the cruise ship bartender. But we all know too well that everyone is not necessarily going to live happily ever after in season 11.

Things seem like they will be particularly complicated for some of the new couples, like Amani and Matt — who are thinking about getting a divorce to get a fiancé visa for the third person in their relationship. "I love being married to Matt, I love being a mom, but we have a third in our relationship," Amani says referring to Any — the other woman in their life — who hails from Tijuana, Mexico.

Then there's Mahdi and Stevi, who hasn't told her family anything about her boyfriend from Iran. "Is he gonna make you wear a jihad?" asks Stevi's father (someone educate this man, please!) when he eventually meets his daughter's fiancé. Aside from her dad, the revelation that Stevi might be bisexual could be a dealbreaker for Mahdi.

If the season 11 trailer is any indicator, fans can look forward to plenty of infidelity, betrayal, and so many fights and tears.

90 Day Fiancé, which had over 11.3 million viewers for season 10 and was one of 2024's highest-rated unscripted cable series, follows the stories of intercultural couples (Americans and their foreign fiancés) who must get married before the 90-day deadline for their K1 visas expire or their international mate will be sent home — adding even more stress to their already complicated relationships. As the couples navigate cultural differences, family issues, and societal pressures, they must figure out how to overcome every obstacle to remain together or ultimately call it quits.

Meet the season 11 couples below:

Mahdi (Tehran, Iran) and Stevi (Hattiesburg, Miss.)

Stevi and Mahdi's love story began when Stevi taught online English classes to Mahdi, who was her student. After a whirlwind transcontinental romance and only one week spent together in person, Stevi is bringing Mahdi to the States to marry her. However, due to the complicated political climate, Mahdi's arrival in Mississippi may mean he could jeopardize his chances to return to Iran. From the outset of his 90-day journey, Mahdi is overwhelmed by homesickness, leaving Stevi worried about their future. Along the way, Mahdi uncovers unsettling truths about Stevi, causing him to question his decision. Meanwhile, the couple struggles to bridge deep cultural divides, and Mahdi faces the heart-wrenching dilemma of whether he can truly build a future in the U.S. or if his heart is still tethered to his homeland.

Mark (West Ossipee, N.H.) and Mina (Paris, France)

Mark, a 59-year-old divorced pilot living in a tranquil aviation community in rural New Hampshire, meets Mina, a glamorous 34-year-old Parisian model, and is instantly captivated. After a love affair and a 2-year-old daughter together, Mina is finally moving to the U.S. However, her new life is far from easy. She must temporarily leave behind Clayton, her 9-year-old son, in Paris until his passport is processed, and the separation weighs heavily on her. Adding to her struggles, Mark's daughter from his first marriage, Jordan, questions Mina's intentions. Isolated in rural New Hampshire and without her son or a strong bond with Mark's family, Mina begins to question whether she should stay in America or return to France.

However, beneath the surface, the couple is exploring ways to navigate some difficult nuances in their marriage. Amani, who is bisexual, and Matt have explored being in polyamorous relationships to keep their marriage in balance. Now, Amani and Matt have fallen in love with Any, a single mother and exotic dancer from Tijuana, Mexico. The threesome has been dating for over a year, and now Matt, Amani, and Any are looking to make their relationship permanent. To do so, however, means Matt and Amani must divorce to move forward with the K1 visa, allowing one of them to marry Any and finally bring her to the U.S. First, they will travel to Mexico to spend more time with Any's family and friends and confirm they are making the right decision in their relationship journey.

Joan, a highly educated NGO director, is deeply committed to her career and values stability and security, while Greg still lives with his overbearing mom and doesn't have a stable job. Once in America and living under Greg's mom's roof, Joan begins to feel the strain on their relationship and realizes she needs more from the man she loves.

Alliya (Rio De Janeiro, Brazil) and Shawn (Los Angeles)

Shawn and Alliya, featured previously on 90 Day Fiancé: Love In Paradise, are embarking on the next chapter of their life together in America. However, their journey is far from easy. Besides the eyebrow-raising 30-year age gap between them, Shawn has kept much of his relationship with Alliya a secret from friends and family. Will he be ready to introduce his love into his life? The most difficult hurdle is Shawn's internal struggle — he finds that Alliya, who is a trans woman, is evolving into a very different person than the one he first fell in love with as she continues to transition and explore surgical options. Now, Shawn is faced with the most important question of all: Can he say "I do" to someone whose identity is changing before his eyes?

Jessica (Torrington, Wyo.) and Juan (Cali, Colombia)

Juan and Jessica, who were featured on 90 Day Fiancé: Love In Paradise, are back to begin their new life together in America. This season, Juan moves from Colombia to join his fiancée Jessica, their baby son and soon-to-be stepsons in a sleepy town in Wyoming. The couple face many challenges, including Juan's loyalty to Jessica and Jessica's doubts about Juan's ability to adapt to a major role shift from a carefree cruise ship bartender to full-time dad. With tensions rising and a new family dynamic to navigate, the couple faces a pivotal moment in their love story.
