#Deaven, #Jihoon Jihoon and Deavan, stars of the hit reality series 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, recently welcomed their first child together earlier this year. The couple actually ended up pregnant the first night they were together, so Deavan moved to South Korea to be with Jihoon and raise their son in his home country. The couple appears to still be together today, although their official relationship status won’t be confirmed until the current season of The Other Way wraps up in a few weeks. Read on for information on the reality stars’ relationship, including how they met and where they are today:
Jihoon and Deavan first connected through a dating app before Jihoon flew to Utah to meet the tattooed beauty. According to Reality TV World, the pair used a translating app to communicate and were immediately smitten with one another; the two began talking to each other every day for three months, so Jihoon made plans to travel to America and meet his “fantasy” girl in person.
Due to the incredibly “strong connection” the two shared when they met in person, they were intimate the first night they were together. After taking six pregnancy tests, Deavan found out she was pregnant the day Jihoon was planning to head back to South Korea, and so the couple started making plans for Deavan to move to his home country to be together.
Fans already know that Deavan is pregnant with Jihoon’s baby on the show, as TLC has documented her pregnancy from the beginning. The couple recently welcomed their son to the world earlier this year, although they haven’t given away many details on his birthday, name, or weight, and they haven’t posted or released any pictures of the little boy, aside from a few maternity pictures on Deavan’s Instagram page. Deavan did tell fans during a July Instagram Q&A that she and Jihoon chose to keep details about their son from the media on their own accord, and not because they were contractually obligated by TLC.
She told fans that she “wanted viewers to be introduced to him when he appeared on TV,” so the birth of their child will likely be documented on the show. Deavan also confirmed that they had a baby boy, according to TV Shows Ace. Starcasm reports that their son’s name is Taeyang, although we haven’t found any confirmation on his name from either Deavan or Jihoon at this time. The reality star says her son is Jihoon’s “twin” and that they know the exact date of conception.
Jihoon and Deavan had a rocky start to their relationship because of Jihoon’s parents and how they reacted to his relationship with Deavan. Not only did they not think she was a good fit for their son, they didn’t like her tattoos and couldn’t accept that she got pregnant so quickly. They also weren’t ready to give their blessing to Jihoon to marry Deavan, which is incredibly important in Korean culture.
“In Korean culture, it is super important for the parents to give their blessing,” Deavan explained during an earlier episode. “If I’m not up to Jihoon’s parents’ standards and they think I’m not good enough for their son, we can’t get married.”
Deavan also worried that Jihoon was only marrying her because she was pregnant, so the two have had to overcome some significant issues since they first got together.
Deavan shared two photos of their sweet, newborn son on her Instagram page, writing “Our beautiful Taeyang Scuti Lee I am so blessed to have you in my life. Mommy loves you so much. I’m so happy I can finally show you to the world our amazing miracle you are so loved by mommy, daddy, and sissy.”
The couple has been keeping details of Taeyang’s birth, weight and name under wraps for the last few months. The couple had posted a few maternity pictures on social media since the show premiered in June, but they haven’t uploaded any pictures of the baby boy himself. However, Deavan did tell fans during a July Instagram Q&A that she and Jihoon chose to keep details about their son from the media on their own accord, and not because they were contractually obligated by TLC, although she did write that she was excited to “finally show [him] to the world” on tonight’s post.
When she was answering questions during the July Q&A, she told fans that she “wanted viewers to be introduced to him when he appeared on TV,” which finally happened during tonight’s episode of the show. Fans already knew the couple was expecting, as Jihoon and Deavan ended up getting pregnant during the first night they were together due to the incredibly “strong connection” they shared. It was just a matter of time before TLC aired the footage of Deavan going into labor.
Although the two were keeping relatively quiet about their son, Deavan did confirm that she gave birth to a baby boy, according to TV Shows Ace, and Starcasm correctly reported that their son’s name was Taeyang.
