From new love connections to potential breakups, 90 Day Diaries brings fans closer to the personal lives of their favorite TLC personalities. Episode 11 caught up with , and , and , and John Mcmanus.

Ed returned to screens to update fans after his split from Liz Woods on season 8 of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? in 2024. Since the heartbreak, the TLC personality told viewers that he’s reconnected with his faith, returning to the Catholic roots instilled in him by his parents.

“We went the mass every Sunday but I stopped going to church. I stopped talking to God,” he explained. “I thought he was mad at me because he wouldn’t give me what I wanted, which was a wife. And you know, after a really long year, which included a really hard breakup, I wanted to give back to my faith.”

His move to Arkansas was featured during his last appearance on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? and while Liz has since relocated to Washington, Ed revealed that his mother now lives just down the street.

In a meeting with his mom, she asked him about the viral September 2024 rumors that he was engaged after meeting a woman at an event.

“Oh, my God, It was crazy, crazy story. So, I’m in Florida doing a fundraiser and this beautiful Italian girl comes in, olive skin, brown hair, brown eyes,” he explained. “So, I invited her to dinner the next night. And on the way there, we’re holding hands and it’s really cute. And then we get to the restaurant and we’re having a couple drinks and we’re just, we just clicked.”

Ed said he asked the restaurant manager for a paper clip, which he used to improvise a ring.

“And I told her that I know I’ve only known you for 24 hours, but you know, I want to spend the rest of my life with you,” he recalled. Although it was a sweet moment, the moment went viral, and he said it “scared” his date. The pair are no longer together.

The next day, three of Ed’s friends came over. After Ed began complaining about being single, they argued that he should date women at least 40 years old or over and offered to set him up on a blind date.

Ed’s friend Courtney set him up with a woman named Christine. While he admitted he wasn’t sure if she was his type, he said he was open to giving it a chance.

“She’s definitely much older than the women that I’ve dated recently, so it’s going to take some getting used to, I think,” the photographer told viewers. “But she’s cute and my dogs love her, too.”

Ed pulled out all the stops for his date, renting a limo and taking her to a haunted house. The evening seemingly went well, with the pair agreeing to a second date.

Patrick Mendes’ older brother, John, was back to update fans on his life and he revealed he was still living in San Antonio, Texas. Still engaged to Megan — whom fans met on season 4 of 90 Day: The Single Life in 2024 — John gave his brother a call to share his nerves about the upcoming wedding.

“Megan, you know, keeps bringing up the wedding stuff more and more. So, she says she wants to make a step in a direction. I don’t know what the hell to do,” he explained.

When Patrick asked John if he believed he was ready to get married, he replied, “Is it the best time? No. You know, us fighting all the time got me a little worried.”

Patrick encouraged his brother to “drag out” the process, but as soon as he got home, Megan was ready to “just go to the courthouse” and tie the knot.

This sparked an argument, as John insisted Megan had previously been against a courthouse wedding. The couple ultimately agreed that they’d stay engaged for no more than two years.

Fans checked in with 90 Day Fiancé season 10 couple Clayton and Analí after they documented the 90 days before their 2023 wedding. During the series, Clayton’s mom famously lived in his closet, but he was happy to confirm that was no longer the case.

“We’ve been married for a year now and in our new place we have a lot more space. So I decided to get more serious about a long time passion of mine,” he told viewers. “I still have my job as a cybersecurity analyst but this year I decided to pursue comedy as a career.”

During the episode, Clayton and Analí took fans along as they traveled to Ohio for his headline comedy show. Along with their stateside travels, they revealed they were saving up for a second wedding ceremony in her native of Peru.

“Me and Analí are planning to go to Peru for our second wedding because her family wasn’t able to make it to the one here in the U.S.,” he told the camera. “So hopefully this new side hustle of mine will be able to cover some of these expenses.”

Before his show, Clayton was nervous but managed to make it on stage. Although he received a lukewarm reaction, he wasn’t going to let it stop him from continuing his passion.

“I’m on my way to paying for a wedding and maybe I can quit my job and do comedy,” he joked.

After placing eighth in her bodybuilding competition, Ashley was discouraged because her husband wasn’t being supportive. After the show, Manuel told Ashley that he hoped she wanted to focus on her fitness for health reasons and “not because she wants muscles.”

The next day, tensions only continued to rise between Ashley and Manuel.

“I was ready to celebrate with Manuel. And before we could even start having fun, he decided to act like a spoiled little child. Surprise,” she explained. “There were two competitors right at the entrance, [who] wanted to congratulate me. And he turned around and walked out and did not go back in.”

Ashley cried as she recounted the story to her cousin, telling her, “At this point, I’m disgusted by him.”

Two days later, Ashley and Manuel were back home and things hadn’t gotten any better between them.

“I should be on this like total high from being in Texas, being in the energy of all these amazing bodybuilders, all these amazing athletes placing everything,” she explained in a solo confessional. “But I’m not because of the way that Manuel has been treating me. We haven’t really talked about what happened in Texas. We honestly haven’t even really interacted at all. But honestly, I’m sick of it and I’m ready to call him on it.”

Ashley asked Manuel to be more “receptive.” However, Manuel clapped back by complaining that he ignored her after the bodybuilding competition and said he wasn’t a fan of her new muscular build.

“I don’t want to be married to anybody who doesn’t want to support my dreams and also wants to control how I look,” Ashley told the cameras.
