His daughter, Brianna, worried her father was repeating the mistakes he made in the past. She questioned if he was tired of going to Brazil and forming relationships with "different people."
"This is not my first time going to Brazil for love and even before I started going to Brazil, my relationship history was pretty tumultuous. I've been married four times, three have been American and one was Brazilian," Brian said.
The 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days star added that he had several relationships in Brazil, including a "few failed engagements." He confessed most of those women were younger than him.

While speaking to the cameras, Brianna confessed she was used to Brian's trips to Brazil. They had become a "family joke." However, the 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days cast member wanted the relationship to last.
At the same time, he revealed that Ingrid did not know the "whole story" of how he ended up in a wheelchair. He only stated he was shot in a carjacking incident.
"My carjacking was not some random event. There's a lot more to the story. I know I need to tell Ingrid about my past. I just hope she can handle it," Brian said.
Meanwhile, he also expressed his concerns about Ingrid's nonchalance.
"Ingrid obviously knows that I'm in a wheelchair, but she doesn't know the details, the bathroom stuff, the s*xual stuff. She's never really asked me about it, which surprises me but maybe she's trying to comfort me, not make me feel out of place," Brian added.
