90 Day Fiance: Timeline For Forrest & Sheena’s On-Screen Love Story Explained
Season 8 of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days introduced Forrest and Sheena as a long-distance couple who had never met in person. In the first episode, Forrest revealed that they had been dating for seven years but only talked to each other online. According to Forrest, they even kept an eye on each other through security cameras installed at home. Forrest’s mother, Molly, felt Sheena was taking advantage of Forrest.
She told the cameras that Forrest had fallen victim to a previous scam involving a woman from Indonesia. Molly revealed that Sheena was taking out money from a joint account shared by her and Forrest. As she wanted to protect her child, she decided to travel with him to the Philippines. In the show, their airport meeting was framed as their very first in-person meeting. Later, Molly even confronted Sheena over lying about the money, but Forrest defended Sheena in front of his mother.
90 Day Fiance: Did Sheena & Forrest Meet In 2019?
On social media, some content on the pages of the 90 Day Fiance stars suggests that the two had met long before filming began. This included a Facebook birthday post from July 2019 shared by Sheena’s friend Ed Ong. The post included an auto-generated video and an image that showed Sheena posing with Forrest. While some fans felt the dates on the photos were digitally edited, bloggers like Shabooty came up with more evidence.
They found even more birthday videos from the same time period that used older profile photos for the couple. Forrest also looked different in the photo as he was wearing different glasses and looked younger than he did on the show. Another Facebook post from 2019 showed Forrest helping Sheena at her veterinary clinic in the Philippines. The Tagalog caption referred to Sheena as “doc Sheen.”
It also mentioned that Sheena was assisted by her “hubby.” The posts had not been verified from the source, as Sheena locked down her Facebook profile. Some fans criticized the network for fabricating storylines and questioned their credibility. Many admitted they still watch despite knowing the series often lies about this stuff.
