What Happened to Josh & Aika From 90 Day Fiancé? 2025 Update
When Josh Batterson and Aika Batterson (née Quezon) appeared on Season 5 of 90 Day Fiancé in 2017, their story immediately stood out. Josh Batterson, a 43-year-old from Arizona, owned and operated a home theater company specializing in electronics, TVs, and stereos. Having been married twice before, neither of which worked out, Josh was determined to make this relationship last. On the other side of the world, Aika, a 35-year-old from Quezon City, Philippines, was living her own independent life when the two connected through an international dating site. Their fast-paced romance, complicated discussions about starting a family, and cultural adjustments made them one of the most talked-about pairs of their season. But what happened to them after the cameras stopped rolling?
Meeting & Engagement
Josh and Aika’s relationship began online, but quickly escalated. After being captivated by Aika’s profile, Josh decided to fly to the Philippines to meet her in person on February 11, 2016, at Manila International Airport. Their first meeting in Manila was filled with nerves and excitement, and within days, Josh proposed to Aika on Valentine’s Day. Their whirlwind engagement showcased the intensity of their bond, with Josh describing her as his “perfect match” and hoping that the third time truly would be the charm.
At the time, Josh was living in Mesa, Arizona, with roommates and a collection of pets—including dogs, cats, a snake, and a lizard. Aika expressed concerns about moving into such a crowded home, but the couple remained focused on building a future together. She also had ambitions of working as a promotional model at car shows once she arrived in the U.S., while Josh emphasized that he fully supported her career dreams.
Second Meeting in Manila
In September 2019, Josh and Aika shared a nostalgic Instagram post reflecting on their early days together. Aika explained that their second meet-up in Manila had taken place three years earlier, when Josh stayed for six months. During that extended visit, they spent time at Manila Baywalk handing out a bag of goodies for homeless kids. The post highlighted both their commitment to one another and their shared efforts to give back to the community (#heartforhomelesskids, #shareyourblessings). This extended stay not only gave them more time to strengthen their relationship but also offered fans a glimpse into how their bond deepened before marriage.
Early Struggles Seen on the Show
On the series, Josh and Aika’s journey was anything but simple. Fans remember the tension surrounding Aika’s wish to have children. Josh, who had already undergone a vasectomy years earlier, revealed that he would need a reversal if they were to start a family together. This disagreement became a central storyline, raising questions about whether their marriage could survive such a critical issue.
Their cultural differences also surfaced. Aika’s focus on fashion and maintaining her appearance sometimes clashed with Josh’s concerns over jealousy and how others might perceive her. Their shared living situation, complete with roommates who were partiers, added another layer of conflict. Despite these challenges, Josh and Aika pushed forward, determined to prove that their relationship could endure.
Wedding
Josh and Aika solidified their love story with a Las Vegas wedding on September 7, 2017. Their ceremony reflected both simplicity and personality: Aika wore a strapless, high-low gown with layers of ruffled tulle fading from white to light pink, paired with a short veil and heels. Josh kept it classic in a black suit jacket with jeans, accented by a red boutonniere. They exchanged vows in a small chapel decorated with ivory flowers, before celebrating with photos at the iconic “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign, where they sealed the day with a kiss.
Life After 90 Day Fiancé
Unlike several franchise couples who turned their TV exposure into spinoffs or influencer careers, Josh and Aika kept their lives deliberately private after marriage. They settled in Arizona, where Josh continued his home‑theater business and Aika adjusted to life in the U.S. From occasional social media updates, it was clear their bond remained strong.
In a 2019 Cameo video update, Aika Batterson said that starting a family remained a goal, noting, “Maybe next year or two years we will do it in the Philippines.” Josh added around the same time that fans constantly ask about their family plans and confirmed that “we’re trying.”
Where They Are Now
After their 2019 comments about wanting to start a family, Josh and Aika continued to share glimpses of their life, but no pregnancy or birth was ever announced, and by 2025 they have not had any children together.
On their YouTube channel Josh and Aika Adventures, they documented several road trips and explorations. Earlier uploads featured Nelson Ghost Town in Nevada, a light‑hearted raid near Area 51, and other stops. Their final videos came in late 2022. In December, they visited the Kelso Visitor Center in California, exploring the World War II boomtown setting, old general stores, and even a small jail cell that once held locals until 1985. They also learned how the site was saved from demolition in the 1980s, became part of the National Park System in 1994, and later underwent a major restoration. Josh and Aika reacted with humor, imagining what it would have been like to spend a night in the jail. Another December 2022 upload highlighted the Goldwell Open Air Museum in Nevada. Since then, no new videos have been added, making December 2022 their last known YouTube update.
On Instagram, November 2022 posts showed their visit to Beatty, Nevada, where they posed with wild burros and encouraged followers to explore the town’s history. Around the same time, they traveled through Idaho Falls, Idaho, sharing photos of the downtown’s historic charm and restaurants while en route to Yellowstone.
Their most recent social media activity came in April 2023, when they shared a reel from Arizona’s national monuments and rivers, describing the landscapes and history as treasures of their adopted state. With no newer public updates, it can only be said that by 2025 Josh and Aika had not had children, and their last known activities reflected a continued focus on travel and exploration.
