Niles Valentine from Matilda wished to marry Niles on his trip, but he was in a bad place financially after having lost his job and receiving no from his parents.

Despite the challenges, Niles and Matilda got married on the show with the help of the village elder, Mr. Arc, but Niles still needed money to bring Matilda to America.

Niles recently went Live on Instagram to share the latest on Matilda’s visa journey (via 90dayfiance_alexa.) When someone asked Niles how Matilda was doing, he said that she was “wonderful” and that the visa process had started. “It’s super exciting,” Niles added. Niles assured his fans that he would share more updates when he had something “concrete” to share. Niles looked very happy while chatting with his fans from all over the world who had tuned in to get information about what happened to Niles and Matilda after the show ended.

What Niles’ Exciting News Means For His Relationship With Matilda

What Happened To Niles & Matilda On The Show?

Niles launched his fundraiser with a goal of raising $8,000. He hadn’t seen Matilda for 10 months when they filmed the Tell All, due to his lack of funds. The only way left for him to reunite with Matilda was to bring her to America. The money Niles asked fans for was intended to cover the visa, medical expenses, travel costs, legal fees, and Matilda’s plane ticket to the U.S. Viewers of the show who wanted to see Niles and Matilda together donated generously to the fundraiser, and he ended up earning more than double his original goal.

Niles faced backlash during his season when his false promises to Matilda were revealed. He didn’t want to marry Matilda during the trip and made it seem like she was manipulating him into it. Niles came across as a coward when it came time to express his true feelings to Matilda. He always found a way to blame someone else for his mistakes. Niles appeared to be rethinking his options, while Matilda remained understanding of his autism without hurting him. It was Matilda’s maturity that won over fans. She proved she wasn’t in it solely for the visa.

Would Niles Have Given Up On Matilda If He Didn't Have The Money?

Matilda had big dreams for her wedding, which Niles wasn’t able to fulfill. She wasn’t sure if he would even return to Ghana if they were only engaged during their trip on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days and not actually married. Perhaps Niles would have divorced Matilda if he couldn’t afford her visa process. However, Niles has now shown that he is dedicated to building a beautiful life with Matilda in the U.S. All he has to do now is live up to his promises.

90 Day Fiancé airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EDT on TLC.
