90 Day Fiance Cast Grapples with Cheating, Insecurities, and SO Many Lies on October 23, 2023 at 4:59 pm The Hollywood Gossip
90 Day Fiance Season 10, Episode 3 saw the cast (all of the ones whom we’ve met so far) spending time with their partners.
Jasmine and Gino spent their first night together. Ashley and Manuel awoke from theirs, as did Rob and Sophie. Nikki and Justin reunited.
But a number of these folks are harboring secrets from loved ones. It’s time to come clean.
One of them cheated. It’s not a secret from his partner … but he clearly wishes that it were.

Gino and Jasmine
Before either Gino or Jasmine confessed their lies on Season 3, they had some more basic chores.
Inexplicably, Gino hadn’t cleaned up ahead of Jasmine’s arrival. He didn’t change his sheets, make the bed, or even flush the toilet.
Once Gino washed the musty smell out of his duvet, it was time for their first night together. We’re meant to interpret Jasmine and Gino’s faux medical cosplay as “sexy,” I believe.
Jasmine Pineda is really proving that New York Times article true: “We Should All Know Less About Each Other.” (Image Credit: TLC)
To the confessional camera, Jasmine admitted that one of her procedures — some sort of vaginal rejuvenation treatment — had backfired.
It had ruined her sex life with Gino, at least for a while. As a result, the two fought a lot. (We’d love to know the timeline on this, but we do not)
Now, she said, it was time to make up for lost time. Apparently this means roleplay where she is both nurse and patient. Whatever happened to medical ethics?
Over the years, Jasmine Pineda has cried over reasonable things and unreasonable ones. Most famously, the latter. (Image Credit: TLC)
The next morning, Jasmine spends time scolding Gino for not having vegan-friendly food for her (which is fair). She also tells him that she wants him to eat differently, confiding to the camera that she plans to trick him into being vegan (which is unfair).
When Jasmine begins to list the things that they need to replace or update, Gino comes clean: he has quit his job. He’ll get a new one after they marry.
Jasmine feels devastated. He made this decision on his own without telling her. It’s about more than replacing the oven. This could jeopardize their plans to bring her kids over.
Jasmine Pineda giggles as she announces that “we” spent $10k. (Image Credit: TLC)
During a couples massage session, Jasmine explains why her butt is so sore. After losing weight, she got herself butt implants.
It’s not just that she spent a lot of money on them. She spent her savings and the money that Gino sent her to buy a wedding dress. Jasmine giggles as she shares it, but Gino is not amused.
In fact, he’s downright angry, and storms away. Jasmine is glad that she didn’t tell him that ex-boyfriend Dane supplied $2,000 towards the implants.
“I bought this one yesterday,” Justin shares, holding up a welcome mat. (Image Credit: TLC)
Nikki and Justin
With Nikki still in the United States, Justin was busy preparing for her arrival.
Unlike certain people (Gino), Justin prepared by cleaning up ahead of her arrival. Even though she’ll only be staying for three weeks, like, that’s three weeks. Clean your home.
Justin made some very sweet preparations, including a welcome mat just for her. And he met her at the airport with flowers.

They had a touching reunion, with Nikki and Justin kissing before he even had a chance to show her his flowers.
Of course, viewers were still contemplating revelations that a friend of Nikki’s had made.
Chanel revealed that Nikki had paid for multiple cosmetic procedures for Justin. And for all of their vacations. Oh, and she gave him some sort of generous allowance.
Clearly, Justin has some concerns about when he and Nikki should go out and about. The question is why. (Image Credit: TLC)
At first, their reunion was just full of outpourings of affection.
But while the two grabbed a bite to eat, Justin suggested that their outings should be during the day — not at night.
He didn’t suggest that people were clocking Nikki (that is, detecting that she’s trans rather than a cis woman). Instead, he noted that she dresses and styles herself like a “porn actress.”
Justin really knows how to treat a lady. (Image Credit: TLC)
He has a way with words!
Mostly, Nikki suspected that Justin has some lingering insecurities over being with a transgender woman. Especially since some of his friends have rejected him.
But she also wondered if there’s something shadier afoot. Justin’s going to leave Moldova in the near future, so what does he have to hide?
Not only is this shared, outdoor bathroom less than ideal for obvious reasons, but Sophie says that it stinks. Actually, that part’s obvious, too. (Image Credit: TLC)
Rob and Sophie
At Rob Warne’s home in Inglewood, Sophie Sierra was struggling to do her makeup routine.
It’s not just that the bathroom is outside. Or that they seem to have to share it with an unknown number of other residents.
The place is dimly lit and it stinks. We can also see insects flying around it. Sophie puts on a brave face because she sees this as temporary.
It’s no wonder that Rob has such a good body; he’s doing heavy lifting with that chip on his shoulder all of the time. (Image Credit: TLC)
Rob, on the other hand, seems to actively resent that Sophie doesn’t love his shared outhouse situation.
He says that Sophie’s desire for a bathroom in the apartment is “bougie.” And he adds that the lack of bathroom just makes the place cleaner.
Rob has fully lost the plot. And if he cannot get over his resentment of Sophie’s affluent family, he’s going to kill this relationship.
After Rob gets snide about housing and Sophie shows insecurities about Rob’s social media, we hear about his online cheating. (Image Credit: TLC)
Sophie looks at some fantasy houses, at which point Rob seems to bitterly suggest that she could ask her rich family for money.
(Sophie hasn’t taken money from them since her teens. She is a model and has also worked as a waitress to pay her own way)
After an incident where Sophie feels insecure about a thirst trap on Rob’s phone, we find out why. Rob “online-cheated” in the past, though she forgave him.
Rob would really, really prefer if Sophie just pretended that the online cheating thing was fine, or didn’t happen, or both. That’s what he’s pretending! (Image Credit: TLC)
To hear Rob tell it, there was nothing to forgive. Yes, he responded to someone who messaged him by sending his own photos.
But he doesn’t think that it should count, because it happened briefly. (Fun fact: Sophie only knows about it because the woman messaged her screenshots)
In fact, it looks like Rob resents that Sophie considers his cheating to be cheating.
Manuel should probably tell his mom and the rest of his family that he is not, in fact, just in another part of Ecuador on a temporary work assignment. Because no part of that is true. (Image Credit: TLC)
Ashley and Manuel
After their first night together, Ashley and Manuel are doing better than they were the day before.
Part of that was drinking and sex. And, let’s be honest, a lot of people are at their worst right after a series of long flights.
Manuel is adjusting to Rico Suave. He gets his first experience in an American grocery store. But no, he hasn’t told his mom where he is. His whole family thinks that he’s on a construction job back in Ecuador.
Anyone else break out into “Ashley’s Mom Has Got It Goin’ On?” or am I the only one with that instinctual reaction to the name “Stacey.” (Image Credit: TLC)
Tonight’s big event is meeting Ashley’s family. Especially her mother. Stacey and Ashley are very close.
Ashley bought Manuel a new shirt, and her family is extremely welcoming. Almost too welcoming.
It turns out that Ashley’s mother really wants grandbabies. She loves kids, constantly babysitting for friends. Ashley and Manuel are less eager.
Ashley’s mom’s heart breaks for Manuel’s mom, because she would feel horrified if one of her kids left the country without a word. (Image Credit: TLC)
Stacey is more willing to ask Manuel tough questions.
He admitted that he hadn’t told his mother or any of his family, seemingly including his two teenage kids, that he was moving to the United States.
Ashley’s mom couldn’t understand that. She would feel heartbroken if her own children did this. Manuel needs to come clean to his mom.
Sure enough, Blanca feels heartbroken when Manuel confesses that he has moved to New York. Without telling her. (Image Credit: TLC)
So, eventually, Manuel does. He tells Blanca that he’s in New York, and why.
She reacts with shock. He left without any warning. Manuel claims that this was “sudden” (it is not), and admits that this was difficult news to break and he worried that family would change his mind.
His mom asks that he not forget the family that he left behind.

Photo: Tyla at the 2026 Met Gala in custom Valentino — days before making the biggest business move of her career.
There are career moves, and then there are statements. Tyla just made a statement that will be studied in music business classrooms for years.
The South African superstar — born Tyla Laura Seethal, 24 years old, and already the proud owner of two Grammy Awards — has officially signed a multi-million dollar global deal with Roc Nation, Jay-Z’s powerhouse entertainment company, walking away from Epic Records to align herself with the most influential roster in the music business. The signing was confirmed across social media with a major digital announcement this week, and the reaction from industry insiders was immediate — shock, admiration, and the quiet acknowledgment that someone just changed the trajectory of African music forever.
From “Water” to a Global Phenomenon
Let’s not forget where this all started. In 2023, a 21-year-old from Johannesburg released a song called “Water” that nobody could quite categorize and everybody needed to hear. Within weeks, it had sparked one of the most viral TikTok dance challenges of the decade, charted simultaneously across the United States, the United Kingdom, and Africa, and earned Tyla a Grammy Award for Best African Music Performance — the first year that category even existed.
That win wasn’t just personal. It was a signal. African music — Afrobeats, Amapiano, and now what Tyla herself calls A*Pop — was no longer knocking at the door of the global mainstream. It had walked through it. And Tyla had handed it the key.
What followed was a whirlwind two years of sold-out shows, magazine covers, red carpet domination, and a growing reputation as one of the most stylistically fearless artists on the planet. She attended the 2026 Met Gala — her third consecutive appearance — wearing a custom Valentino gown dripping in diamond chains with a sweeping teal skirt, styled by the legendary Law Roach, with beauty by Pat McGrath. The look was breathtaking. But it was also strategic. Every Met Gala appearance, every fashion moment, every carefully placed interview has been building toward exactly this: the infrastructure to match the vision.
What Roc Nation Actually Means
To understand why this deal matters, you have to understand what Roc Nation actually is — because it is not simply a record label.
Founded by Jay-Z in 2008, Roc Nation is a full-service entertainment company with divisions spanning artist management, touring, brand partnerships, film and television, sports management, and philanthropy. Its roster has included Rihanna, Alicia Keys, J. Cole, Big Sean, Lil Uzi Vert, and Megan Thee Stallion — artists who didn’t just sell records, but built multi-decade cultural empires that extended into fashion, film, business, and beyond. The through-line isn’t genre. It’s scale.
For Tyla specifically, the Roc Nation deal unlocks a completely different level of access. We’re talking about premium budgets for music videos and live production, top-tier brand partnership pipelines with luxury and lifestyle companies, film and television placement relationships that most artists spend a decade trying to build, and the kind of media weight that gets you on the cover of Vogue, Time, and Billboard in the same calendar year. Roc Nation doesn’t just manage artists — it engineers icons.
On the African music side, Tyla joins fellow Roc Nation signee Ayra Starr, the Nigerian pop star who inked her deal in 2025, deepening the label’s clear and deliberate strategic investment in African pop as the next dominant global genre. Jay-Z is not betting on a trend. He is betting on a generation.
The Album That Could Rewrite the Playbook
The timing of this signing is not accidental — it is surgical.
Tyla’s highly anticipated sophomore album, A*POP, is officially set to drop July 24, 2026, just three weeks away — a 14-track project that she has described as unapologetic, globally ambitious, and deeply rooted in her South African identity while simultaneously reaching for something universal. The lead single “She Did It Again” features Swedish pop titan Zara Larsson, a collaboration that announces in no uncertain terms that Tyla is not staying in any lane she didn’t build herself.
With Roc Nation’s full machine now behind the album rollout — promotional infrastructure, media relationships, tour routing, brand activations — A*POP arrives with a runway that Epic Records simply could not have provided at this scale. The industry is already paying attention. For music supervisors, film and TV executives, brand marketers, and entertainment investors reading this right now — put A*POP on your radar immediately. This is the kind of release that shapes culture, not just charts.
The Bigger Picture Nobody Is Talking About
Here is what gets lost in the excitement of a big announcement: the systemic significance of what Tyla just did.
The music industry’s historical relationship with African artists has been, at best, transactional — major labels slow to invest, quick to cash in on a viral moment, and consistently reluctant to build the kind of long-term infrastructure that turns an artist into a brand. Tyla has navigated that system with remarkable intelligence, refusing to be reduced to a trend, building her artistic identity on her own terms, and now — at 24 — arriving at the negotiating table with enough leverage to choose Roc Nation on her terms.
That matters. Not just for Tyla, but for every African artist watching this unfold from Lagos, Accra, Nairobi, Cape Town, and Houston. It is proof that the path from regional phenomenon to global superstar is not only possible — it is being paved right now, in real time, by a young woman from Johannesburg who refused to shrink.
For media companies, content platforms, entertainment executives, and brand strategists operating in the African diaspora space — this is your data point. African pop is not a niche. It is not a trend. It is not a moment. It is a movement, and Tyla just secured the most powerful co-sign available in the global music business to lead it.
Watch this space. Very closely.

AfriqueFest: Pan-African Musical Experience — World Cup Edition is set to take over Noto Houston on Sunday, June 28, bringing together East, South, and West African sounds in one immersive celebration of music, culture, and connection. Presented by Experience Noir and Bolanle Media, the event is designed as a cinematic night for the culture, blending global energy with Houston nightlife in a way that feels elevated, intentional, and deeply rooted in African creativity.
Spotlight on DJ Shinski
At the heart of this year’s experience is DJ Shinski. Born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya and now based in Houston, DJ Shinski has built an international name off high-energy sets that move effortlessly across Afrobeats, Amapiano, hip‑hop, dancehall, reggae, and electronic sounds.
He has also become Africa’s most‑subscribed DJ on YouTube, crossing the 2‑million‑subscriber mark and turning his mixes into a global destination for music lovers.
DJ Shinski’s style is precise but unpredictable: one moment it’s classic Afrobeats, the next it’s East African anthems, then a run of throwback hip‑hop or R&B that still feels fresh. That ability to read a room and connect multiple worlds in a single set is exactly why AfriqueFest is building so much of the night’s energy around him.
At AfriqueFest, DJ Shinski helps drive the Safari Grooves segment, representing East and Central Africa from 4 PM to 6 PM. Expect a journey that moves from Nairobi to Dar es Salaam, Kampala, Addis, and beyond, all filtered through his signature “vibes on vibes” approach behind the decks.
DJ Tunez and the rest of the night
Supporting that energy, DJ Tunez leads the Gold Coast Beats chapter from 8 PM to 10 PM, bringing his own Nigerian‑American Afrobeats pedigree to the stage. Together with the Diamond Rhythms segment (South) and a curated roster of DJs, the night stretches across the continent in three distinct musical chapters, all connected by a single dance floor.
Hosted by @chris_gone_crazy, @kingdrewwskyy, @roselynomaka, and @samsnewleaf, AfriqueFest is positioned as more than a party—it’s a celebration of sound, style, and Pan‑African identity in Houston, with DJ Shinski anchoring the experience from the moment doors open.
Brought to you by Bolanle Media & Experience Noir
Brought to you by Bolanle Media and Experience Noir, this World Cup edition of AfriqueFest is crafted as a night where global DJs, storytellers, and music lovers collide and create a shared cultural memory. With DJ Shinski front and center—and DJ Tunez helping close the night—guests can expect a show that reflects both the future of African nightlife and the power of the diaspora to create unforgettable live moments.
If you want to experience DJ Shinski live at AfriqueFest, now is the time to lock in your spot. Purchase your tickets now at AfriqueFest.com and get ready for a night of music, movement, and culture at Noto Houston.
Laughter Meets Inspiration: Our Ladies Show Lands on The Roku Channel
A bold new sketch comedy series for women premieres June 13 across the U.S., U.K., and Canada — arriving on the back of a festival-winning run that has critics and audiences already paying attention.
It isn’t every day a brand-new comedy arrives already wearing a row of trophies. Our Ladies Show does. The seven-episode inspirational sketch comedy series — created, written by, and starring Christin Jezak — begins streaming on The Roku Channel on Friday, June 13, 2026, available free to viewers in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada.
Produced in partnership with global media services leader Encompass Digital Media, the series sets out to do something rare in today’s streaming landscape: make women laugh out loud and leave them lifted. In a media moment crowded with noise and cynicism, Our Ladies Show is a deliberate counterweight — comedy with a conscience, built for women of every age and background.
A Show Built Around Real Life — and Real Laughs
Each of the seven episodes opens with a monologue from one of the cast members introducing the theme, then rolls into three or more sketches that hit the subject from every comedic angle. The series tackles the things women actually carry: holding grudges, comparison, beauty, patience, gift giving, the importance of community, and dealing with anxiety.
The comedy comes from a place of warmth rather than mockery — a “laugh at ourselves” spirit that runs through a gallery of unforgettable characters: a nosey neighbor, an overwhelmed mom, relentlessly optimistic flight attendants, beauty pageant winners past their prime, and a crew of unruly campers with a counselor who simply cannot hold it together.
Then the show does something most sketch series don’t. In the final segment of every episode, the cast gathers in a living-room setting and invites the audience in — sharing real inspiration drawn from the theme, the sketches, and their own personal stories. It’s the moment the laughter turns into something that stays with you.
The Women Behind the Show
Our Ladies Show brings together three performers with serious range:
- Christin Jezak — creator, writer, and star (Miracle at Manchester, Raising Hope, Jimmy Kimmel Live!)
- Hillary Hawkins — (Primal, Nick Jr.’s Play Along, Gullah Gullah Island)
- Sarah Hernandez — (Nefarious, Unplanned, House of Payne)
“In a world with so much division and depression, I hope women of all ages and backgrounds will watch this show, laugh, be reminded of how beautiful, unique, and loved they are, and remember how much we need each other.”— Christin Jezak, Creator & Star
Already a Festival Favorite
The series’ recurring long-form sketch, Neighborhood Watch, didn’t arrive quietly. Originally released as a web series and revamped for Our Ladies Show with new footage, sound, and music, it has been sweeping the festival circuit:
- 🏆 Best Webseries — 2026 New Media Film Festival (Los Angeles)
- 🏆 Best Web/TV Series — Paris Film Awards
- 🏆 Best Web Series — Dallas Movie Awards
- 🏅 Additional wins at the London Movie Awards, Florence Film Awards, and Hollywood Gold Awards
- 🎬 Official Selection — 2026 Harvard Divinity School Film Fest
- ⭐ Finalist — Houston Comedy Film Festival
- 📣 Three nominations — 2025 Content Christian Media Conference, including Best Actress in a TV and Web Series nods for both Christin Jezak and Sarah Hernandez
Where and When to Watch
Our Ladies Show premieres Friday, June 13, 2026, streaming on The Roku Channel — the home of premium and free entertainment — in the U.S., U.K., and Canada. All seven episodes deliver the series’ signature blend of sharp sketch comedy and genuine encouragement.
