Season 8 of TLC’s ’90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days’ follows international couples who are navigating their connections before beginning the K-1 visa process. This season introduces one of the most unconventional couples yet: Forrest and Sheena. After seven long years of being in a long-distance relationship, they are now fully prepared to meet face-to-face for the first time ever. What makes their bond more extraordinary is that Sheena had been watching his life unfold through his home security cameras. Additionally, neither of them ever had any intimate relationship with anyone else, making them more intriguing. However, they also faced complications, as his parents accompanied him on his trip to the Philippines to meet Sheena and assess whether they could find any red flags regarding her.
Forrest and Sheena’s Relationship Was Tested by Distance For Seven Years
Forrest and Sheena’s love story originally began online, when the former’s mother introduced him to a Facebook group. There, he finally met his partner, and their casual conversations soon turned into something deeper. They quickly connected and were drawn to each other’s sincerity. It wasn’t long before their bond evolved into a committed long-distance relationship. For nearly 7 years, the pair stayed in contact online and through the surveillance system of Forrest’s home in Oregon. Ultimately, he embarked on the long-awaited journey to the Philippines to meet Sheena in person. Their first meeting at the airport was overwhelming and emotional. As soon as they saw each other, tears flowed freely, and both of them were clearly moved by the reality of being together after so many years apart.
However, Forrest and Sheena’s good moments were soon followed by challenges. Financial issues arose due to the former’s unemployed status. It made him rely on Sheena to cover the travel expenses to Oregon and the visa processing fees. The tension arose when she revealed that she was giving all her money to her family. Yet, the couple managed to make amends after she apologized and he forgave her. Another uncomfortable moment came when Forrest’s mother, Molly, questioned their intimate relationship, turning their simple car ride into an awkward experience. He quickly jumped in and called out his mother’s behavior as disrespectful. Sheena also felt that the conversation crossed some boundaries because she would prefer to keep the decisions about their intimate life private.
Forrest and Sheena’s Connection Has Become Stronger Than Ever
Despite a seven-year-long-distance relationship, Forrest and Sheena never let the distance get in the way of their togetherness. Although she kept watch on him almost the entire day through the security camera set up at his home, it never raised questions about their trust in each other. Beyond the show, several signs suggest that the couple has continued to put in effort to make the relationship work. They still follow each other on Instagram, which serves as a subtle yet notable reminder that their connection remains intact.
Adding to the intrigue, Forrest shared an animated picture of himself and Sheena on Instagram on December 25, 2025, wishing his followers, writing, “Merry Christmas from our family to yours.” The message in itself hinted at their togetherness and unity. She also seems to echo that sentiment, as she uses another picture of them as a couple as her profile picture. Apart from these, they have chosen not to share many updates with their followers. It only highlights the fact that they have decided to nurture their relationship away from the scrutiny of public eyes.
While Forrest Enjoys the Simple Joys of Life, Sheena Prioritizes Her Privacy
Forrest completed his higher education and graduated in June 2018, before moving forward with ambition. Unfortunately, during his time on the show, his professional life was far from stable. Being unemployed at the time, he relied heavily on Sheena for financial support, especially when it came to major expenses regarding their future together. However, it appears that there has been a recent shift. One of his fans claimed to have seen Forrest working as a Pharmacy Technician. Regardless, we hope he continues to take a step forward in reclaiming his independence.
Staying true to his nature, Forrest has chosen not to share further details about his professional life, keeping that aspect of his life out of the spotlight. Currently living in Oregon, he finds joy in life’s simpler moments. He is deeply connected to nature, often spending his free time exploring the outdoors, whether it be admiring the moon, visiting the mountains, or finding peace by the ocean. Food adventures also bring him happiness as he enjoys trying out different types of cuisines whenever he gets a chance. Aside from that, he enjoys visiting aquariums. Forrest also cherishes quiet moments, such as cuddling with his beloved pup, Maple, and his furry kitten.
On the personal front, Forrest shares a close bond with his mother, Molly, and stepfather, Dev. Their strong relationship was the sole reason he brought them along to meet Sheena in the Philippines. Even when the couple had their first meeting at the airport, his parents got really emotional, further showcasing their love for Forrest. Unlike her partner, Sheena has always preferred a more private path. She is deeply passionate about animals, which has led her to become a professional Veterinarian. However, she has decided to keep her personal life under wraps, which becomes more evident from her private Instagram account.
