Kim, 50 (San Diego, CA) and Usman "Sojaboy," 32 (Sokoto, Nigeria)
Divorcee Kim first reached out to Nigerian musician Usman on social media as a fan. After a year of phone calls, messages, and establishing a long-distance connection, Kim is ready to meet Usman in person and take their relationship to the next level. However, Usman is hesitant about his commitment to Kim. He met his American ex-wife online as well, and needs to know that his relationship with Kim will be different. The couple plans to meet for the first time in Tanzania, where Usman is shooting a music video, but can they ultimately put aside their doubts?
Caleb, 28 (Chandler, AZ) and Alina, 27 (Saint Petersburg, Russia)
Caleb and Alina developed an online friendship as teens, but eventually lost touch. 13 years later, they matched on a dating app while Caleb was planning a trip to Alina's homeland of Russia. Although those plans fell through, their virtual connection only got stronger. The couple plans to meet for the first time and see if they can overcome their differences, both cultural and physical. Alina is a little person and she has trouble walking and standing for long periods of time due to her condition. Since Alina frequently relies on a wheelchair, she worries that free-spirited Caleb will have trouble adjusting to her needs. In addition, Alina's best friend and roommate, Elijah, is very protective of her — and tags along for the couple's first meeting in Turkey.
Gino, 51 (Canton, MI) and Jasmine, 34 (Panama City, Panama)
When Gino, an automotive engineer, divorced his Brazilian wife of seven years, he thought his dreams of having a family were over. Then, he met Jasmine on an international dating site. He fell head over heels for the American literature teacher's beauty, brains, and personality. Now, Gino is heading Panama to meet Jamine in person! The two are excited to give love a chance, but Gino has a special plan of his own: to get Jasmine pregnant by the end of his trip and start building a family together. Will they live happily ever after or will Jasmine's jealous side ruin their chances?
Memphis, 34 (Muskegon, MI) and Hamza, 28 (Kairouan, Tunisia)
Eight months ago, single mom of two Memphis met Hamza online. Memphis' unstable childhood, tumultuous dating history, and divorce had her searching for a reliable partner to complete her family. After months of long-distance phone calls and video chats, Memphis was convinced she found just that. So, Hamza proposed and Memphis said yes! Although Memphis is ready to travel to Tunisia and meet her man, her friends and family are quite skeptical — and the couple's significant language barrier doesn't help either. With plans to tie the knot during her trip, Memphis has to ask herself how well she really knows her fiance.
Mike, 34 (Thiells, NY) and Ximena, 24 (Pereira, Colombia)
Mike wasn't having much luck in love — until he met Ximena, a single mother of two. After connecting on an international dating app, the couple spent time getting to know one another. However, Ximena doesn't speak English and Mike only knows a bit of Spanish. Luckily, they used a translator app to deepen their connection and start a relationship. Now, Mike is set to propose in Colombia and take Ximena and her and her sons back to the United States. Mike is ready to pursue true love, but does Ximena have the same intentions?
Ella, 29 (Idaho Falls, ID) and Johnny, 34 (Jinan, China)
Ella is a country girl from Idaho with an interest in Asian culture. She joined a dating app specifically for Asian men and white women and found her "Asian prince," Johnny. The two video-chatted frequently and just knew they were a match. Unfortunately, the pandemic made it difficult for them to meet in person. After a year and a half of trying, Johnny is finally traveling to Idaho to propose to Ella! The couple had a few "intimate" moments via video chat, but Ella worries what her relationship with Johnny will be like in person — as she was rejected in the past due to her weight. Can love conquer all or will pandemic borders, insecurities, and cultural differences have the upper hand?
Ben, 52 (Fraser, MI) and Mahogany, 24 (San Bartolo, Peru)
Ben left his marriage — and his life as a pastor for a strict, conservative religious sect — to find himself. After a stretch of homelessness, he found success as a model and caught Mahogany's eye when he was featured in a fitness magazine. Mahogany sent him a DM and soon, the two were texting regularly. Although the couple's bond is closely tied in their religious beliefs, Ben's friends and family are worried about their 28-year age gap, among other red flags. In fact, the two haven't even video-chatted yet! Will it be a match made in heaven or a rude awakening for Ben and Mahogany?
