Trish Stiley and Rick Van Vactor entered 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days Season 8. They seemed like a couple straight out of a lively romance. The two were completely passionate, from flirty conversations to a strong emotional bond. Rick even went above and beyond after meeting a woman on his dating app in Madagascar while on vacation. This eventually led him to Trish. Even though they were 25 years apart in age, they fell deeply in love right away.
However, things on 90 Day Fiance rarely stay picture-perfect for very long, as fans of the show already know. What began as a romantic long-distance relationship soon grew into one of the season’s most talked-about and controversial partnerships. But now fans can’t stop asking the big question: Are Rick and Trish still together?
When a fan saw a very familiar face on Facebook Dating around a month after 90 Day Fiance Season 8 aired, things took an unexpected turn. Shabooty, an Instagram blogger, quickly posted screenshots that surprised viewers. According to reports, Rick listed his age as 53 on an active dating profile, which fits with his timeframe from the show. He had liked another user’s account and had multiple photos on his page.
His relationship status with Trish was seriously called into question by this shocking revelation. The update strongly suggests the couple may have called it quits, even though nothing has been officially stated yet. Of course, there’s still little chance that they broke up and later got back together. However, fans aren’t feeling overly hopeful after all the drama this season.
When the 90 Day Fiance stars Rick and Trish first met in person, they seemed like one of the stronger couples this season. But things quickly went wrong. Rick revealed in a shocking confessional that he had cheated on Trish just before travelling to Madagascar. Rick didn’t waste time when Trish stopped answering his messages for a few days. He rushed to Colombia to see his ex-girlfriend and ended up being intimate with her multiple times. Rather than being honest, he carefully restarted his contact with Trish as if nothing had happened.
Trish was deeply affected when the truth was finally revealed. Fans right away called Rick’s actions a serious red flag when she cried over his betrayal. Still, Trish showed how much she cared for him by choosing to forgive him, a decision that caused controversy among fans. Fans questioned whether they could actually survive outside of the show. The damage was already done, and trust issues began to creep into their relationship.
Their huge age difference adds to the drama, as if cheating weren’t enough. Having five kids already, Rick isn’t too keen to start anew. On the other hand, Trish has made it quite clear that she wishes to have children. Rick first made an effort to keep the door open, but he later revealed in a confessional that he doesn’t truly want more kids, ruining their plans for the future.
When Rick got to know Trish’s family, things became even more heated. Her family strongly stated that having children is a necessary part of their society, and the topic of marriage and children soon came up. Trish’s father wasn’t holding back either; he made it plain that he wasn’t going to the union until Rick agreed to have kids.
Rick has a lot more to prove if he wants a future with Trish, as shown by the way he side-eyed their age difference. Their relationship is currently in trouble due to sexual assault allegations, familial pressure, and completely different life goals. The biggest mystery that fans are keen to find out is whether or not they are still together. Keep coming back to TV Season & Spoilers for more updates.
