Love knows no borders or ages, and not many couples embody that better than Pattiya Phillips and Dylan Yeandle. Their love story was introduced to the audience in season 7 of TLC’s ’90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way.’ Their connection is more than a decade-long and spans continents across the oceans. What makes it more unique is the 20-year age gap between them. This season, Pattiya moved from Texas to Tasmania, Australia, to be closer to the love of her life, but it wasn’t without its challenges. From adapting to cultural differences to resurfacing trust issues, the couple’s journey provided equal parts drama and wholesome emotions.
Pattiya and Dylan’s Relationship Began With a Fateful Meeting
Pattiya Phillips and Dylan Yeandle’s love story began sometime in 2013 when fate brought them together. According to the former, there was enough uncertainty initially as they hail from significantly different worlds. As they cautiously began exploring their connection, it turned into a romance that felt effortless. However, they were oblivious to the fact that it was the beginning of a relationship that would easily extend over 10 years. However, they had to deal with geographical limitations since Pattiya resided in Texas and Dylan lived in Tasmania, Australia. Despite the challenges of time zones and thousands of miles, the duo always found their way back to one another. Reports suggest that the couple’s connection spans 12 years. However, it wasn’t just tested by distance, but also by the 20-year age gap between them.
During the filming, Pattiya was 58 years old, while Dylan was in his 30s. She decided it was time for her to move to Tasmania to be closer to Dylan. When she finally landed, he was waiting for her at the airport, holding orchids and a kangaroo plush toy. Their reunion was anything but ordinary as she embraced him quickly. In a burst of excitement, Pattiya greeted him with an unforgettable display of affection by licking his face. Their chemistry was undeniable, but there were challenges ahead of them. She had to adjust to an entirely new environment there. The duo also had to manage Dylan’s close bond with his mother, Jo, who lives just five minutes away. Additionally, lingering trust issues made the daunting task of merging their very different lives even harder as they looked toward a shared future.
Pattiya and Dylan Are Embracing Challenges to Stay Strong Together
After their heartfelt meeting at the airport, life for Pattiya and Dylan has blossomed into something incredibly joyful. Far from letting the sparks fade, the couple continues to nurture their precious bond, often giving fans a peek into their journey on social media. Their feeds are filled with moments showcasing how devoted they have remained to their commitment. Whether it’s playful banter in the comments or heartwarming tributes, their love story is on full display ahead of their fans. In June 2025, the pair reached a major milestone by celebrating 12 years of togetherness. To commemorate the day, Dylan shared pictures of them smiling widely in each other’s company. He expressed his love for his partner, writing, “From year 1 to year 12… no one lifts me like you do. Your love, your belief, your support.”
Pattiya affectionately responded, “From day one …even through the storms, we find our way back to the light. This one hit different. Thank you for reminding me where we started. I love you.” Their social media exchanges do not stop there. In late August 2025, when she opened up about her journey on the show, Dylan chimed in with the comment, “Welcome down under baby!” to which she playfully quipped, “And I brought all the Texas heat with me.” It is moments like these that prove their bond is not only strong but also filled with humour and mutual support. As of writing, it seems that Pattiya and Dylan are basking in their love, grateful to finally be united. No matter what, we wish the pair all the happiness and fulfillment on the road to their happily ever after.
