    AceShowbiz – Coronavirus pandemic seemingly gives TLC an idea to create a new spin-off for its popular reality TV series “90 Day Fiance”. On Thursday, April 2, the network announced “90 Day Fiance: Self-Quarantined”, a limited series that features cast members from across the reality series franchise filming themselves during self-isolation.
    “For the couples featured across the ’90 Day Fiance’ franchise, their relationships have been tested by distance, cultural and religious differences, skeptical families, language barriers and much more. Now, like the rest of the world, their lives and love are facing an unfathomable challenge of the global coronavirus pandemic,” TLC said in a press release.
    “Over the past six years, TLC has traversed 34 countries around the globe to capture couples as they’ve battled distance and obstacles along their path to love, but like the rest of us, they’ve never endured a challenge quite like this,” Howard Lee, president and general manager of TLC, said in a statement.
    He added, “So many fans have been curious about how their favorite couples and individuals are holding up during the crisis, so we’ve asked them to self-film and share their lives in quarantine with all of us. Their stories hold a lens to the world, from anxiety and cabin fever to laughter and inspiration. We’re humbled and pleased they’ve opened their hearts and homes to TLC audiences during this unprecedented time.”
    Lee assured that everyone will still practice social distancing while working. “Our crew is not near them physically at all. They will be helping them remotely,” he explained. However, since the footage was filmed by the cast members themselves, Lee noted that this series may ‘look very hot-off-the-press. It will look like the paint has not dried. I think our audience is incredibly forgiving right now, and I’m hoping that they accept the way it looks. It will be messy!”
    Among the returning couples are Darcey and Jesse, Pedro and Chantel, Colt and Debbie, Corey and Evelin, Tiffany and Ronald, Narkyia and Lowo as well as Brett and Daya. Joining them are Benjamin and Akinyi, Patrick, Elizabeth and Andrei, Anna and Mursel and more.
    The five-episode limited series is set to premiere on Monday, April 20 at 9 P.M. on TLC.

    '90 Day Fiance' Star Anna-Marrie Campisi Denies Rumors She Fakes Mursel Mistanoglu's Return From Tur

    TLC

    While Anna is excited for Mursel’s return, it’s not the case for Anna’s eldest child Joey who is against his mother going forward with her marriage with Mursel.
    Jan 28, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Amid speculations that Mursel Mistanoglu’s return to the U.S. was all fake story for ratings and he never returned to Turkey in the first place, “90 Day Fiance” star Anna-Marie Campisi has set the records straight. She decided to end the rumors for once and all during her recent Instagram Live broadcast.
    During the broadcast, a fan asked the Bellvue, Nebraska native, “Is it true Mursel never left to Turkey?” The 38-year-old TLC personality then responded, “Mursel did leave to turkey. It’s really true.”
    It was revealed in the Sunday, January 26 episode of the network’s hit reality show that Mursel would soon reunite with Anna as he’s set to return to the U.S. after leaving for Turkey. Mursel shared that his parents changed their minds after he told them that he still loves Anna, and his same K-1 visa was amazingly approved and he was headed back to the United States.
    “When Mursel left to go back to Turkey, I was really heartbroken and he called me saying that his parents said that we could get married,” she explained in the episode. “I was in disbelief and I guess I just, in that moment I was so angry at him for leaving. But, you know, I still love him.”
    “It doesn’t really happen often but you may be able to come back on the same K-1 visa,” Anna explained. “Like, I can’t believe we’re even getting an opportunity for this interview. This whole thing is just crazy.”
    While Anna was excited for Mursel’s return, it was not the case for Anna’s eldest child Joey. He was against the reconciliation even though Anna’s two younger sons, Gino and Leo, said they were OK with the wedding being back on. Joey said he didn’t even want to attend, in addition to telling TLC cameras that he felt like his mother was making a mistake.
