Joanne and Sean from 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way opened up about their secret marriage

Joanne and Sean are a new couple who joined season 6 of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way. The couple wanted to move to Ireland together and wanted their friends and family to meet each other first. Joanne told her best friend and children that she wanted them to like Sean and then let them know about their marriage. Sean’s daughter was also present, and she initially refused to accept the news of their marriage.

Joey, Joanne’s elder son, seemed disappointed in the recent episode of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way when he got to know about her mother’s secret marriage to Sean. He said to the cameras:

“I'm annoyed with her, because she she does say, you know, you could tell me everything, you know, don't don't be afraid to tell me anything, and then, she keeps it a secret for 2 years that they're married. Like, alright.”

Jess, her younger son, replied that he felt confused after the news was revealed. Sean expressed that he felt they all would receive it happily and would be excited, to which her daughter replied that she was happy but not excited. Joanne confessed to the camera in 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way:

"Sean and I were so wrapped up in our own little world, in our own little bubble that neither one of us really thought about the fact that we may be hurting the people that we love the most by keeping the truth from them. We could have gone in a 1,000,000 different directions on how to tell them."

She further added:

"Seeing the look on everybody's faces makes me realize this definitely hurt them the most. The kids are upset and confused and that makes me feel like..."

Joey congratulated them in an upsetting tone, leaving Joanne in regret for not sharing the news with them earlier.
