What Happened to Melanie & Devar From 90 Day Fiancé 2025 Updates?

When Melanie Bowers and Devar Walters appeared on 90 Day Fiancé Season 3, they stood out as one of the season’s most surprising matches. Melanie, a 33-year-old single mother and registered nurse from Orwigsburg, Pennsylvania, met Devar, a 28‑year‑old lifeguard from Runaway Bay, Jamaica, while on vacation. Their whirlwind romance quickly became serious, and Melanie decided to bring Devar to the U.S. on a K‑1 visa. Despite skepticism from her family—especially her sister Beverly, who questioned Devar’s intentions—the couple married in 2015 and began building a life together in the States. Nearly a decade later, their story has evolved in unexpected but inspiring ways.

Relationship Background

At the time they met, Melanie was raising her young son Hunter from a previous relationship. Devar was working at a Jamaican resort when he and Melanie formed an immediate connection. The relationship moved quickly, with Devar proposing within days of their meeting. Their romance was documented in TLC clips showing Melanie’s excitement at finally having Devar in Pennsylvania after months of back‑and‑forth travel to Jamaica. “After going back and forth for so many months, having him here finally… I can’t even describe it. It’s a great feeling,” she said on the show. Their first night together in Pennsylvania captured Melanie’s relief and Hunter’s excitement—Hunter even gifted Devar a small football, a gesture that Melanie said showed how quickly her son was warming up to him. Devar, for his part, acknowledged the responsibility: “I got to be there supporting him. I got to be the role model,” he said of becoming Hunter’s stepfather.

Not long after Devar’s arrival, TLC cameras followed him and Melanie to a welcome party with 15–20 of her closest family and friends. Many had only heard about Devar during the 16 months of their long‑distance relationship. Meeting everyone at once was overwhelming, but Devar made a strong impression, even as Melanie’s parents admitted they were initially shocked by her choice. Her mother said on camera: “We thought she was just going to Jamaica to have fun. We never really thought it would develop into anything.” These interactions highlighted both the cultural gap and the early doubts surrounding the relationship, but also set the stage for how Devar would earn the family’s trust over time.

Wedding

Melanie and Devar officially married on September 5, 2015, in a small but heartfelt ceremony held in Pennsylvania. Their wedding day featured classic black‑and‑white attire: Devar wore a crisp white suit with a black tie and boutonnière, while Melanie chose a strapless white gown with a sweetheart neckline, paired with a veil and a bouquet of white flowers. Her son Hunter matched in a white suit and black vest, symbolizing his role in the union. The ceremony, captured in wedding photos, was intimate and family‑focused—Hunter sat proudly beside the newlyweds, and the couple sealed the day with emotional vows and a celebratory kiss.

Following their wedding, Melanie and Devar continued to appear on 90 Day Fiancé spinoffs, including Happily Ever After? (2016) and What Now? (2018). These follow‑up series gave fans glimpses into their early married life and the challenges of blending cultures and building a family.

Family Life and Parenthood

In 2017, Melanie gave fans a candid pregnancy update. On October 8, when she was 31 weeks pregnant, she wrote on Facebook: “I am 31 weeks pregnant and feeling healthier and stronger than ever. In a few short weeks I will welcome my first daughter and I made the decision to fuel my body with super nutrients!” This post captured her optimism and determination as she prepared to welcome her baby girl.

On November 30, 2017, Melanie and Devar welcomed their daughter, Aviana, a milestone that cemented their growing family. Parenthood quickly became central to their lives. In Nov 2022, Melanie celebrated Aviana’s fifth birthday with a Hawaiian‑themed “Aloha” party. Her son Hunter, from a previous relationship, turned 19 in June 2023, with Melanie proudly recognizing his achievements as he entered adulthood.

The couple has also marked their marriage milestones with heartfelt posts. In 2017, Devar called Melanie his “best friend and greatest inspiration,” writing that he was a proud and lucky husband.

By their 8th anniversary on September 5, 2023, Melanie marked the occasion with a heartfelt social media tribute. She began by reaffirming her choices: “I wouldn’t change any decisions I’ve made regarding us… My choices!!!” She then expressed deep affection: “Love you more than ever and am so grateful for the life we have built for Hunter and Avah!” Finally, she closed with a warm note: “Happy Anniversary!!!”

Her words offered fans an intimate glimpse into their relationship, highlighting both her confidence in past choices and her gratitude for the life they have created as a family.

In June 2025, Melanie also celebrated her son Hunter’s 21st birthday with a heartfelt post. She proudly noted that he was in nursing school, playing hockey in Miami, building a strong relationship with his partner Emily, and living independently in Philadelphia. She wrote that watching him grow into the man he has become has been one of the greatest joys of her life, adding, “Happy 21st, Hunter this is just the beginning!”
