There are several 90 Day Fiancé franchise shows that feature couples at or near the start of their relationships, and many of then have pretty pathetic success rates. However, there are a few shows that have at least passed the 50-percent mark, and there are many success stories.
With over a dozen spin-offs, 90 Day Fiancé has grown into a thriving franchise. However, most of the shows, like 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, recycle cast members and couples who have been on franchise shows before. But there are a few core shows that center around couples who embark on a new journey together.
90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, 90 Day: The Single Life, and the OG series all cast couples who are searching for a partner, just starting out in their relationships, or taking their relationships to a new level. These are the core franchise shows ranked from least to most successful in terms of couples staying together.
90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days – 29%

It’s not too surprising that the show with the lowest number of couples still together is Before the 90 Days, with a measly 29% success rate and only 10 successful relationships to come out of the 34 couples. On this spin-off, couples are generally meeting in person for the first time, so it’s only natural that a lot of those relationships don’t end up lasting. Many couples on Before the 90 Days are exploring whether or not they even want to embark on a real relationship, and it makes sense that many cast members decide the distance and difficulty isn’t worth it.
90 Day: The Single Life – 36%

The success rate of The Single Life was calculated based on whether cast members stayed in a relationship with the person they met or had started dating on the show. So Colt Johnson’s relationship with Vanessa Guerra wasn’t counted because he had started a romantic relationship with her long before The Single Life. However, stars Ed Brown, Molly Hopkins, Fernanda Flores, and Jeniffer Tarazona and Jesse Meester are all still together with the people they started dating on the show. Still, most of the cast members’ dates on The Single Life went nowhere.
90 Day Fiancé – 54%

Over eight seasons, there have been 48 couples featured on 90 Day Fiancé, and 26 of them are still together, giving the show a 54% success rate. The vast majority of the couples on the OG show end up getting married at the end of their 90 days, and the slim majority are still together because coming to the U.S. is a huge investment for both partners. Once they’re in America, the couples tend to be very invested, and it makes sense that only the ones who feel really sure about their relationships make it to that stage.
90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way – 58%

The franchise show with the highest success rate so far is The Other Way, with seven successful relationships out of its 12 couples. The 58% relationship success rate is due to the unique format of the show. On this spin-off, American citizens are often giving up a lot of comforts they’re used to and moving to someplace that’s very different than where they come from. The culture shock alone is a major change, and most cast members are very committed to their partners to make that kind of sacrifice.
Breakups are nothing new to the franchise, and for most of the shows, couples fizzle out more often than they stay together. Success isn’t guaranteed for the 90 Day Fiancé franchise couples, and many are clearly fighting difficult odds to stay together.
