Akinyi Obala devastated fans when she posted an emotional update on Instagram in December. After her mother passed away earlier this year, she revealed that her family did not celebrate Thanksgiving in 2025. Akinyi wrote a long message with a collage of photos that showed her mother, husband Benjamin Taylor, and daughter Rue.
“This Thanksgiving feels different,” she said at the start, pointing to her late mother as her best friend, greatest supporter, and safe place. The loss crushed her, but becoming a mother gave her life new purpose. Akinyi admitted that she is finding strength in her expanding family and learning to find a balance between grief and gratitude.
Few people thought 90 Day Fiance stars Benjamin Taylor and Akinyi Obala would stay on the show after their initial appearances. From parental issues to adapting to living together in a foreign country, challenges constantly tested their relationship. But by supporting one another through all the ups and downs, the couple proved to everyone.
When they openly fought infertility for years, it was one of the most difficult times in their marriage. They never hesitated to share their intensely emotional journey with their followers. So, it felt like a win for everyone who had followed their journey as well as for them. They eventually revealed in September 2024 that they were expecting their first child.
The couple is now celebrating their 5th wedding anniversary. Yes! You read it right. Benjamin Taylor shared a touching photo collage of moments with his wife on Instagram to mark the occasion. He joked about time flying and admitting that they didn’t take many couple shots this year, something he promised to change, in the caption, which instantly caught fans’ hearts. The sincerity and affection in his message, however, were what really remained.
Fans quickly filled the comment section with blessings and kind messages. The couple was welcomed by many as one of the franchise’s most successful and stable relationships despite difficulties. Some even said that their connection gave them a new hope in love. And to be honest, that says a lot in a show that is known for its chaos and breakups.
