This season of TLC’s 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days introduced viewers to Benjamin, a 33-year-old divorced dad from America, and his girlfriend, Akinyi, a 25-year-old woman from Kenya. The couple met online and Benjamin later traveled to Kenya to meet Akinyi and her parents to negotiate a bride price, which would allow him to marry the woman he fell in love with.
During the October 20 episode of the series, which is currently available for early streaming on TLC’s website, Benjamin made an offer to his future in-laws but the family wasn’t impressed.
