Fernanda was abused by Jonathan

Flores moved from her home country of Mexico to be with Jonathan, 33. When they became engaged, Fernanda’s family did approve of Jonathan. However, as time went by, the distance between her and her family increased. The distance was both physical and emotional.

In January 2019, Rivera tells In Touch he and Fernanda had split. Flores then opens up to her family, telling them what had really happened behind the scenes. Then in July 2019, Flores opens up to her fans and viewers by posting the video “My Truth” on YouTube. In the video, she claims Jonathan was abusive towards her, claims that Rivera has denied.

Fernanda admits she told her family the truth first before posting the video. She says how really “upset and shocked” her parents were. All along, she had led them to believe everything with her marriage was great. Flores told her parents they were “so happy.” While she and Jonathan were appearing on 90 Day Fiancé, they were traveling and having a lot of fun. Meanwhile, behind closed doors, it was a different story indeed.
