90 Day Fiance fans saw the drama when the couple lied about their engagement
Fans of TLC will easily recall that Jimeno, from the Dominican Republic, and Chantel Everett became secretly engaged. It all culminated in a hectic and memorable dinner on Happily Ever After. People.com reminds us that Jimeno”memorably got into an explosive fight with her family over dinner (to recap: lamps were punched, shirts were torn, weaves were ripped out). Of course, there’s nothing like mega-drama to rush the ratings up the ladder.
The announcement from TLC included more details about the spin-off and both families will feature. These include Chantel’s parents, Karen and Thomas. Plus there’s and her siblings Winter and River. On Jimeno’s side, we’ll see his mom, Lidia and his sister Nicole. The show that’s airing on its own night is titled, The Family Chantel.
