When Rebecca Parparit and Zied Hakimi first appeared on 90 Day Fiancé, viewers questioned whether an age gap, cultural divide, and international distance could sustain a real marriage. Years after their television debut, fans still wonder if Rebecca and Zied are still together or if their cross-cultural romance fizzled out after the cameras stopped rolling.
The short answer is yes, Rebecca and Zied are still married and living together in the United States. Despite facing intense public scrutiny, internet rumors, and immigration hurdles, the couple has maintained their relationship long after their initial TLC appearances.
The Origins of Rebecca and Zied’s Relationship
Rebecca, a private investigator from Georgia, met Zied, a native of Tunisia, online through social media in 2014. After chatting for months, Rebecca flew to Tunisia to meet him in person. Their initial meeting was complicated by secrets—most notably that Rebecca's divorce from her third husband wasn't fully finalized when she traveled to North Africa, a detail that caused friction with Zied's conservative family.
Despite these early red flags, Zied proposed to Rebecca during a romantic desert excursion. Soon after, Rebecca filed for Zied's K-1 visa, bringing him to the United States to start their life together. Their journey on 90 Day Fiancé Season 3 and subsequent stints on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? highlighted recurring clashes over lifestyle differences, Zied finding employment, and jealousy surrounding Rebecca's past marriages.
Overcoming Cultural and Logistical Hurdles
Transitioning from life in Tunisia to suburban America proved difficult for Zied. Cultural expectations surrounding modesty, social interactions, and marriage roles clashed with Rebecca's independence. Additionally, fans watched the couple scramble to plan a hasty Islamic marriage ceremony before Zied's K-1 visa timeline expired, adding immense stress to an already fragile dynamic.
Yet, unlike many franchise couples who split before the tell-all episodes even air, Rebecca and Zied managed to work through their conflicts off-screen. Zied successfully adapted to life in the US, finding work and settling into a routine with Rebecca and her family.
Where Are They Now? Current Relationship Status
Rumors frequently plague reality television couples, with internet sleuths regularly speculating about secret breakups whenever photos are archived on social media. However, Rebecca and Zied continue to share updates confirming they are still a unit.
Zied obtained his permanent residency and green card, allowing him to live and work legally in the United States. While they have occasionally faced speculation due to brief periods of posting fewer couple photos, both have consistently clarified that their marriage remains intact. They have settled into a quiet life away from the heavy-handed drama of regular television production, though they occasionally interact with the fandom online.
