Despite all the drama, the “90 Day Fiancé” divorce rate is lower than you’d think. “Sadly, the divorce rate in the United States hovers around 50% — 50% of couples do not make it. We’re well above that. Our couples are well above 75%,” production company CEO Matt Sharp told Deadline. However, they have to make it down the aisle. Julio Moya and Kirsten Schoemaker didn’t even make it past the “meet the family” stage.
Per Screen Rant, Moya and Schoemaker had been dating for a year when she touched down stateside. He’d promised to move to the Netherlands, apply for residency, and settle permanently. However, Schoemaker soon discovered something was rotten in the state of New York. Moya had only informed his family that he was seeing Schoemaker a month before she arrived, and he’d neglected to mention any relocation plans. Awkward.

Moya’s family and friends were concerned about him moving to the other side of the world to live with somebody he’d only physically spent a week with. “Let’s say you guys get into a fight or whatever; he can’t be like, ‘I’m going to go talk with my friend or my mom,'” Moya’s pal told Schoemaker. “Babe, he does have a point with that,” Moya concurred. “If I was to live in my own place, would you be open to us living alone?” he asked. “Why would you live alone if you have a partner, a relationship?” Schoemaker shot back.
