90 Day Fiancé season 9 will be premiering next month with six new couples and one returning duo. Get to know newcomers Patrick and Thaís.
90 Day Fiancé fans won't have to wait long for new content, as 90 Day Fiancé season 9 will premiere on April 17 after 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days season 5 concludes. Franchise fans have met many Brazilian bombshells over the past eight years of extended franchise content, and Brazilian beauty Thaís will now be joining the franchise alongside her partner Patrick. Discover what 90 Day Fiancé fans should know about Patrick and Thaís before season 9 premieres.
Season 9 of the hit TLC show will introduce six new couples into the franchise and feature several new countries. To round out the cast, 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way couple Ariela Weinberg and Biniyam Shibre will be once again chronicling their international romance. While Biniyam and Ariela are returning, viewers are excited to get to meet the all-new couples featured. Many of the new couples are closer in age than some of the past franchise duos. This leaves viewers tentatively hopeful that there will be more genuine romances featured and fewer couples who are accused of clout chasing. Thaís and Patrick are one 90 Day Fiancé franchise couple who could be the real deal if they can overcome their issues.
Entertainment Weekly revealed Patrick is a 31-year-old from Austin, Texas, and Thaís is a 25-year-old from Brazil, who will be joining the reality series. Patrick met Thaís while reconnecting with his father’s family in Brazil. He claimed that he was searching for a Portuguese teacher when he matched with the brunette beauty on a dating app. Patrick then won over Thaís after numerous trips to Brazil that were full of lavish gifts and a proposal. Thaís has never been to the US and is expecting the extravagant life she had back in Brazil. While this could be a potential issue for the couple, Patrick will also struggle with the emotional damage of his first divorce. Therefore, it’s unlikely to be smooth sailing for the young duo.
The official @90dayfiance Instagram account shared a 90 Day Fiancé season 9 trailer, teasing upcoming the drama fans can anticipate. Patrick revealed that he was thrilled when he swiped right on Thaís. “This is the hottest girl I’ve ever seen in my life. Please let it be real,” he told the cameras. However, Thaís is shown to have a major issue with Patrick’s brother, whom he lives with. The Brazilian beauty called Patrick's brother and apparent roommate out for drinking beer in the morning, though his brother snapped back that it was also his residence. “Living with my brother is going to be really awkward,” Patrick admits in the trailer as he foreshadowed relationship issues.
Overall, Patrick and Thaís appear to have many reoccurring 90 Day Fiancé relationship obstacles to overcome. The duo will have to deal with culture shock, lifestyle expectations, and living with family. Meanwhile, Patrick’s past baggage could threaten their future together. However, they aren’t alone when it comes to drama. Their fellow season 9 couples all have their own unique issues, including pregnancy scares and age-gapped relationships. Viewers can get to know Patrick, Thaís, and their fellow season 9 couples when 90 Day Fiancé returns on April 17 on TLC.
90 Day Fiancé season 9 premieres Sunday, April 17, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on TLC.
