What Happened to Fernando & Carolina from 90 Day Fiancé?

What really happened to Fernando and Carolina after 90 Day Fiancé? Were they one of the many couples who called it quits, or did they actually make their marriage last? Fans who first met them in Season 3 still ask these questions nearly a decade later. Their journey had all the ingredients of drama—family disapproval, trust issues, and even rumors of divorce—but also surprising twists that kept viewers invested. Let’s rewind their story, from how they met to where they are today, and see how this unlikely couple turned speculation into a lasting partnership.

Fernando Verdini and Carolina Verdini

Background: How It All Began

Fernando Verdini (39, from Doral, Florida) and Carolina Verdini (22, from Medellín, Colombia) first crossed paths in Colombia—while both were out on dates with other people. Despite the unusual start, they quickly connected, and before Fernando returned to the U.S., he proposed to Carolina. Soon after, he filed for a K‑1 visa so she could join him in Florida.

When Carolina arrived in the U.S., she moved in with Fernando and his parents. Cultural and familial tensions quickly arose. Fernando’s mother made derogatory comments about Colombians (infamously suggesting that drug-sniffing dogs at the airport must have been on a break), and she often criticized Carolina’s household habits and cultural background.

Trust issues also plagued the relationship. Carolina discovered a woman’s underwear in Fernando’s closet, sparking suspicions of infidelity. This was especially alarming given that Fernando had openly admitted to cheating on his first wife, fueling Carolina’s insecurities about his faithfulness.

Beyond these challenges, Carolina also struggled with homesickness and loneliness. In scenes from the show, she was often shown calling her mother and expressing in Spanish, “Los extraño mucho, me hacen mucha falta” (I miss you all so much, I really need you). Carolina admitted on camera that she felt scared and isolated, saying she was in a territory that was not her own and that Fernando’s family did not fully accept her. Music-filled interludes underscored her sadness and longing for home. She frequently missed her cat back home, which she couldn’t bring because of Fernando’s allergies.

Wedding in Florida

Despite her doubts and feelings of isolation, Carolina and Fernando married before the 90 days of her visa expired. Their wedding, featured on 90 Day Fiancé Season 3, took place on October 4, 2015, as a Catholic ceremony held in Florida. While the event itself was joyful for the couple, it carried an undercurrent of strain due to Carolina’s ongoing struggles with acceptance and belonging in her new family.

Early Years & Rumors

After their appearance on 90 Day Fiancé, information on Fernando and Carolina’s relationship grew murky.

  • December 2017 Facebook post (alleged)
    A Reddit user shared a screenshot from a 90 Day Fiancé Facebook group where Carolina reportedly posted:“I just want to say thanks for my divorce.”
    This comment sparked discussions about a possible split, but no official statement was ever made by either Fernando or Carolina. (Reddit)
  • August 2020 Instagram rumor
    Around August 2020, a now-deleted Instagram meme of Carolina’s—preserved by fans on Reddit—read:“You know it’s time for a divorce when you get more kisses from your pets than your spouse. And when your husband has another person in his life to say I love you. This is the end of everything I can no longer fight I am already defeated.”

  • October 2020 Instagram Story (alleged)
    Some fans on Reddit also claimed Carolina shared a message in her Instagram Stories around October 2020, reflecting on her marriage anniversary and suggesting the end of an eight-year relationship. However, this post cannot be independently verified today and has not been reported by mainstream outlets. It should therefore be treated as anecdotal and unconfirmed.

Despite the strong emotional tone behind these posts, no official confirmation of a divorce was ever issued by either party, leaving their status ambiguous.

Media and Fan Speculation

During this period, several entertainment outlets and online communities closely followed the couple’s social media activity, often amplifying unverified claims. Websites such as Screen Rant, Nicki Swift, and Reddit threads dissected Carolina’s posts and Fernando’s relative silence, adding to the perception of instability. Yet none of these reports ever produced court records or direct confirmation from Fernando or Carolina. This left their relationship in a gray area where speculation was plentiful but substantiated facts were scarce.

By October 2022, signs of reconciliation began to surface publicly. Early in the month, Fernando celebrated their anniversary with Carolina on Instagram, writing, “Happy Anniversary amor! Seven years married and over 10 years together.”

Later that same month, he shared another photo of them together, adding, “Over ten years together and hoping next year will be our best year ever and I’ll try to share as much as possible.”

When viewed chronologically, these posts provided important insight for fans wondering if the couple had split. The anniversary message confirmed their marriage was intact seven years after their 2015 wedding, while the later reflection suggested optimism about their future. Taken together, they offered reassurance that, despite years of rumors and speculation, Fernando and Carolina were still together and moving forward with renewed commitment.

Where Things Stand Today

For fans wondering if Fernando and Carolina from 90 Day Fiancé are still together in 2025, recent social media activity provides the answer: their marriage has not only endured but also transitioned into a new and significant chapter. In May 2025, Carolina announced on Instagram that they are expecting their first child, sharing ultrasound photos alongside baby clothes with the caption “Baby M Verdini.”

Just weeks later, she shared a compilation of baby bump photos, including moments from a cruise, proudly displaying her growing belly and tagging it as a “babymoon,” with hashtags such as #babyboy, #happypregnant, and #happyvacationdays.

Fernando also shares glimpses of their life together. On his account, he has posted milestones including date nights at Disney’s Magic Kingdom, travel throwbacks, and heartfelt family updates. In June 2024, he wrote about losing his last living grandparent, reflecting on family legacy and the importance of cherishing loved ones. He also posted about his professional role as a hospital house supervisor.

Together, these posts illustrate a couple that has weathered public speculation and private struggles, and are now preparing to welcome a baby boy, Matteo Verdini, according to Fernando’s captions. Their recent pictures show a strong partnership and growing family, a testament to their resilience a decade after first appearing on 90 Day Fiancé.

Fernando’s Family Heritage

To better understand Fernando beyond the lens of reality television and social media speculation, it’s worth noting how he has opened up about his background online. In between posts about his marriage and everyday life, Fernando has occasionally shared personal glimpses into his family history. These posts provide a deeper look at his roots:

  • In August 2020, Fernando posted a sepia-toned photograph of his maternal great-grandparents, taken in the 1920s after they immigrated from Cataluña, Spain, to Camagüey, Cuba. He explained that the couple were cousins, and included in the picture was his great-great-grandmother, remembered for her lively spirit and the irony of selling ice cream from their home.
  • In October 2022, he highlighted another branch of his family tree by sharing a late 1800s photograph of his great-grandparents on his paternal mother’s side in Argentina. He noted with humor that photographs from that period rarely featured smiles, offering a candid glimpse into how he views his ancestry.
  • In June 2024, Fernando wrote an emotional tribute to his last living grandparent, his abuela, who had just passed away. He reflected on his childhood with her—attending soccer games, going to Boy Scout meetings, and learning from her home remedies and gardening. He described her as an anchor in his youth and praised her homemade lemonade as the best he had ever tasted.
