Season 9 of 90 Day Fiancé brought couples together after being apart for a long time. The latest episode featured one of the couples, Emily and Kobe, who couldn’t meet for two years due to COVID-19 restrictions and his visa problem.
The last time they were together, Emily got pregnant, and, unfortunately, Kobe couldn’t be present during the birth of his son, Koban. In 90 Day Fiancé, he is set to meet his son, and so he flew over to Emily’s hometown.
Since episode 1, Emily has been concerned about Kobe’s first reaction when he sees her. After giving birth to her son, she had gained weight, which she thought was something Kobe might not appreciate.
What happened when they met?
Emily decided not to bring Koban with her to the airport. She wanted to spend one night alone with Kobe, and she left her son with her parents and came alone to the airport. However, she didn’t inform Kobe, who was very eager to meet his son.
As she was waiting for Kobe at the airport, Emily looked highly nervous about the reaction she would get from Kobe. When he arrived, the two hugged each other, and Emily broke down in his arms. In the confessional scenes, Kobe said that he was elated to see her but was waiting to meet his son.
He then commented on Emily’s weight as he said that he was thrilled to see her but said she had gained weight. As soon as he commented, Emily’s facial expression changed as she looked appalled. Kobe, however, added that it didn’t matter to him, and he loved her.
Viewers didn’t like the segment where Kobe commented on Emily’s weight. Take a look at 90 Day Fiancé fans’ reactions to Kobe's comment and Emily’s expression:
90 Day Fiancé Episode 2
Previously, Emily’s parents warned her of Kobe being irresponsible and not having a stable financial background. Her parents have been with Emily throughout her pregnancy and have now taken care of their daughter and her son. They will meet Kobe for the first time, and it is clear that if he doesn’t pass a good father or good partner’s test, he has to leave their lives.
Meanwhile, Kobe has arrived but is still unaware that Emily has not brought their son with her. Will this create a rift between the two before they get married in 90 days? Only time will tell.
Viewers can watch 90 Day Fiancé episode 2 later on TLC’s site. The upcoming episode will air next Sunday on TLC and Discovery+ at 8.00 PM Eastern Time (ET).
