In the latest updates from the reality TV sensation “90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days,” the relationship between
Rain Fernandez and Chitty has taken center stage, albeit under controversial circumstances. Shan Robinson revealed
to viewers that neither Chitty nor Rain would be present at the much-anticipated tell-all, leaving fans curious as to
why.
Rain, a 37-year-old chicken farmer from New Mexico, initially connected with Chitty, a 33-year-old from Nigeria, through social media after sending him a friend request. The two maintained a virtual relationship for five years, with Rain claiming she was completely unaware that Chitty was blind. Although she expressed that he showcased a type of love she had never experienced before, their differing backgrounds and beliefs soon caused significant friction.
Religious Beliefs and Cultural Clashes
Their relationship faced numerous challenges, particularly concerning intimacy and religious differences. Chitty, who holds strong religious beliefs, was steadfast in his commitment to abstain from sex until marriage. This stance frustrated Rain, for whom the wait became increasingly untenable. Furthermore, Rain accused Chitty’s sister, Victoria, of exerting control over his decisions, leading to serious miscommunications and resentment.
The couple’s relationship deteriorated further when Rain suggested that Chitty was only with her for a visa. This accusation, coupled with their contrasting worldviews—Rain’s fiery temperament clashing with Chitty’s devout Christian values—created even more tension, with claims surfacing that Rain was controlling and disrespectful towards Chitty’s family.
The Tell-All Drama
In October 2024, Rain confirmed she would not be attending the reunion show, much to the dismay of fans. Her absence was perhaps predicted, as she had been vocal in her critiques of both the network and its audience on social media. Blogger Shabui divulged that Rain had initially planned to perform Mariah Carey’s “Don’t Forget About Us” during the reunion, wishing to avoid tears since Chitty had expressed a desire to hear her sing.
Rain disclosed that she learned about her uninvited status amidst what she described as a wave of online hatred aimed at her. Despite the negativity, she attempted to find humor in the situation, acknowledging her own role in the fallout due to her continued public commentary about her and Chitty’s relationship.
Chitty’s Health Concerns
While Rain’s absence from the reunion has raised eyebrows, Chitty’s situation remains serious. He has recently been diagnosed with cataracts and glaucoma, conditions that could severely impact his eyesight. In hopes of obtaining a second opinion in the United States, Chitty has initiated a GoFundMe campaign to cover travel and medical expenses.
Meanwhile, the drama does not end with health concerns. Rain has publicly accused Chitty of attempting to deceive fans regarding his intentions, alleging that he is still reaching out to her despite their breakup. The tension between the couple continues to simmer, with Rain openly questioning Chitty’s honesty and motivations.
Conclusion
The saga of Rain and Chitty serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced in long-distance relationships, especially those influenced by cultural, religious, and personal differences. As viewers analyze their journey, one thing remains clear: the world of “90 Day Fiancé” is never short of drama. Whether Rain and Chitty can resolve their differences or if this chapter is truly closed remains to be seen, as fans eagerly await updates on their lives.
