Brett and Daya 90 Day Fiancé Update: Are They Still Together in 2025?

When 90 Day Fiancé Season 2 aired in 2014, viewers were introduced to Brett Otto, a single dad from Washington, and Daya De Arce, a 29‑year‑old from the Philippines who came to the U.S. on a K‑1 visa. Their storyline quickly stood out: Brett proposed after just a brief trip to meet Daya in person, and the couple faced an uphill battle once she arrived in America. His mother openly questioned Daya’s intentions and refused to attend their wedding, while Daya had difficulty bonding with Brett’s young daughter Cassidy. With the 90‑day countdown adding extra pressure, their journey unfolded with all the drama fans expected. Yet despite the doubts and cultural challenges, Brett and Daya went through with their vows—leaving fans to wonder what became of them after the cameras stopped rolling.

Meeting and Marriage

Brett and Daya’s story began on an international dating website. Brett (born March 1, 1983), a single father from Washington, was initially struck by Daya’s looks and assumed she was out of his league, while Daya said she was immediately attracted to his photo and drawn to his sarcasm. They built their relationship through daily Skype calls, often talking for hours and sharing humor and affection. Brett explained on the show that he needed someone who could match his sarcasm, and Daya recalled how supportive and loving he was even from afar.

Eventually, Brett flew to the Philippines. After a long and nerve‑wracking 15‑hour flight filled with doubts about whether they would connect in person, he arrived in Manila and was greeted by Daya in a black dress. Both remembered the first hug vividly, and Brett said she looked even more beautiful in person than she did online. Just five days into his visit, he surprised Daya by proposing. She accepted, despite being caught off guard by how quickly it happened. Brett later admitted his mother was worried about him falling for someone so far away, while friends suggested Daya might only be interested in a visa or money. On camera, Daya insisted she was committed to Brett himself and wanted him to be the father of her future children.

When Daya moved to the U.S. on a K‑1 visa, the couple first lived with Brett’s roommates before finding their own apartment. Their adjustment wasn’t easy: Brett’s mother refused to attend the wedding due to her doubts, and Daya faced challenges bonding with Brett’s young daughter Cassidy. There were also practical concerns, such as Daya admitting she didn’t know how to cook but could handle other household responsibilities. Still, they leaned on their shared belief that love could bridge differences in nationality, culture, and distance.

On Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2014, Brett and Daya married at Villa Rose Gardens in Washington. Daya wore a strapless beaded gown with a jeweled headband, while Brett wore a black tuxedo with a purple vest and bow tie. Their wedding highlighted both the absence of some family support and their determination to build a life together.

Life After the Show

After their wedding, Brett and Daya continued their life in Washington. On July 21, 2017, they welcomed their daughter Isabella. In mid‑2019, the family, including Brett’s older daughter Cassidy, traveled to the Philippines to visit Daya’s relatives. In 2020, Brett and Daya appeared on the TLC spinoff 90 Day Fiancé: Self‑Quarantined, where they shared that Brett had lost his job during the COVID‑19 pandemic while Daya was working at an assisted‑living facility. The program documented how they managed childcare and household responsibilities during lockdown.

Social media updates show further milestones. In February 2022, Daya shared that she officially became a U.S. citizen after years of living in Washington. That same year, their daughter Isabella marked an early graduation milestone from preschool and, later in November, was recognized as student of the week at her school, with Daya proudly posting the teacher’s note. Other posts show family life at home—like Isabella receiving flowers Brett had given to Daya, with Daya writing that her daughter “always think that whatever Dad gave to Mommy is hers as well.” Another showed Isabella playing piano with Brett, while Daya described him on Father’s Day 2022 as “the most patient person when it comes to our kids” and praised him for going “above and beyond for the family no matter what.” These documented moments provide concrete glimpses into their post-show life, highlighting how they have built a stable and close‑knit household.

Where They Stand Now

Today, Brett and Daya are still together and remain one of the rare long‑term success stories from 90 Day Fiancé Season 2. They continue to live in Washington, raising their daughter Isabella and maintaining ties with Brett’s older daughter Cassidy. Verified updates from social media confirm milestones such as Isabella’s preschool graduation and school awards, as well as Daya’s achievement of becoming a U.S. citizen in 2022. Posts regularly highlight Brett’s involvement as a hands‑on father and Daya’s pride in their family life. For fans wondering if Brett and Daya are still married—the answer is yes. They have chosen to live more privately than many other franchise couples, but the documented milestones clearly show their marriage and family remain strong beyond the television cameras.
