When 90 Day Fiancé franchise star Emily Bieberly first joined the series, she ruffled some feathers with her brash attitude, but I think she’s becoming more likable as she settles into married life. When Emily first appeared on 90 Day Fiancé Season 9, she had one-year-old Koban and was waiting for her then fiancé, Kobe Blaise, to join her in America. Unfortunately, though, the couple had a rough transition. The newcomers needed to stay with Emily’s family, which left them with little privacy.
They also had strict rules to follow, like not having more kids and helping on the farm. The couple themselves also had a few issues. Emily had a knack for nagging and being pushy. Meanwhile, Kobe had a difficult time adjusting to an American wife. However, when the couple reappeared on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? Season 8, I noticed some major changes in the couple that made me see Emily in a new light.
‘Happily Ever After?’s Emily Welcomed Kobe’s Traditions and Culture
Emily may not be a traditional Cameroonian wife, but she does welcome many of Kobe’s culture and traditions. In the Cameroonian culture, women tend to be more submissive and Emily can certainly be more abrasive or “bossy.” However, the American counterpart in 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? showed just how open-minded and flexible she could be regarding Kobe’s culture. Emily was more than happy to have a traditional Cameroonian wedding.

I still have faith in this couple.
She even enjoyed dressing up in their attire and thought Kobe was her perfect king when she saw him in his wedding clothes. Emily welcomed his family and was even willing to set aside her differences with Kobe’s friend Valerie for the sake of making her husband happy. In the franchise, all the stars date internationally, but I’ve noticed that not all of them are willing to be as open-minded as Emily. Her actions show that even though she has a fiery attitude, she has pure intentions.
’90 Day Fiancé’s Emily Blossomed in Motherhood
Some women are not meant to be mothers and that’s totally okay. On the other hand, some women are meant to be mothers, and that’s evident in how they interact with their families. In their first appearance, Emily was a little brash and resembled some of the more toxic stars. In her defense, she was also pregnant about halfway through, was still living with her parents and was working while she helped Kobe adjust to America, so she had a lot on her plate. However, as their time on screen went on, Emily blossomed into motherhood.
This was a quality that even other stars saw. Rob Warne asked Kobe at the Happily Ever After? Tell All how he was able to turn Emily into a baby-making machine and Kobe simply stated that that’s the “type of woman” Emily was. Not only have the newlyweds popped out three kids in the last few years, but they have a house, Kobe has his green card and Emily is a full-time stay-at-home mom. Again, this goes to show that while Emily has her moments, her heart is in the right place.

Same drama, same couples, same old story.
I think in Emily’s situation, this was a classic case of a young married couple who were still navigating their new relationship. They had a lot of changes during the COVID-19 lockdown, no less, that certainly couldn’t have been easy for her to manage. I also think that maybe we as fans unfairly judged her in their first appearance and didn’t consider their circumstances as a whole. Overall, though, I’m glad the couple reappeared on the series as this was a great opportunity to see Emily grow into motherhood.
90 Day Fiancé and its spin-offs series air on TLC, and are available to stream on Max in the U.S.
Using a unique 90 Day Fiance visa, overseas fiances will travel to the US to live with their partners for the first time. Each couple will have just 90 days to decide to get married or send their international mate home.
