In a recent update, Armando Rubio, a prominent star of the reality series “90-Day Fiancé: The Other Way,” has shed
light on his evolving relationship with his father against a backdrop of speculation regarding financial difficulties
with his husband, Kenny Neer. Armando, who hails from Mexico, has navigated complex family dynamics and
personal tragedies, including the heartbreaking loss of his wife and unborn child before finding love with Kenny.
The couple’s love story began in a support group for gay fathers, where both men—already single parents—formed a friendship that blossomed into romance. Kenny made the significant decision to relocate to Mexico to be with Armando, who had longed to marry. However, their journey to matrimony wasn’t without its challenges. Armando’s family, particularly his father, initially opposed the union, leading to heartfelt conversations and considerable effort on Armando’s part to gain his father’s acceptance.
The couple finally tied the knot in May 2021, and they now reside in Mexico City with Armando’s daughter, Hannah. As they welcomed the new year, they shared poignant moments from their visit to Armando’s hometown of San Felipe, Baja California. In photos and videos circulated on social media, the joyous celebration featured the couple alongside Armando’s parents, showcasing a united family despite earlier struggles.
Fans expressed their excitement at the couple’s growth and the acceptance shown by Armando’s father. One fan, Brianne Carmen, commented, “This photo speaks volumes. So glad you guys have come together as one,” highlighting the emotional significance of their family gatherings.

Initially, Armando’s father faced challenges in accepting his son’s sexuality, but his character arc throughout the seasons of “90-Day Fiancé: The Other Way” revealed significant growth. By the end of Season 4, Armando’s father emerged as a fan favorite, undergoing a transformation that saw him become one of Armando’s most ardent supporters.
Armando initially kept his engagement to Kenny secret from his father, choosing to share the news with his mother first. Having grown up in a family where he felt compelled to conceal his sexuality, Armando experienced a second coming-out on the show when he revealed his engagement to his family.
While both Armando and Kenny’s parents were not instant supporters of their relationship, their journey together has illustrated the power of love, understanding, and perseverance. The willingness of their families to celebrate their union signifies a meaningful shift, showcasing how far they have come as a family.
Armando’s father, now a source of pride and joy for Armando and Kenny, is particularly thrilled to see his son thriving and fulfilled in his family life. The couple’s story remains a testament to the importance of acceptance, love, and the unbreakable bonds of family.
