Akinyi and Benjamin are together in America
90 Day Fiance first saw Benjamin and Akinyi on Season 3 of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days when Benjamin traveled to Kenya to meet the love of his life for the first time in person.
Akinyi’s family put Benjamin to the test as he was clearly a fish out of water and a ball of nerves. His love for Akinyi was apparent enough that he won the approval of her family to marry her.
They had a wedding ceremony in Kenya and Benjamin returned home to work on getting her a visa.
They appeared on 90 Day Fiance: Self-Quarantined where they were still separated and dealing with the coronavirus pandemic apart.
Akinyi was finally able to join her husband in America and they have started a YouTube channel where their fans can follow what comes next for the cute couple.
90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days is currently on hiatus.
