When it comes to online relationships, the digital world often feels like a fairytale, but as many couples from 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days have learned, the reality of meeting in person can be far more challenging. Season 7 brought us a whirlwind of love, confusion, and emotional tension as several couples faced the harsh truths of transitioning from online romance to real-life relationships.

While Joe downplayed it, describing it as "insignificant," Magda struggled to process the betrayal, questioning whether his commitment was genuine.
