Are 90 Day Fiance’s James and Meitalia Still Together as He Admits She Can Be ‘So Scary’?TLC (2) Are 90 Day Fiance’s James and Tatha Still Together? Update After His Move Back to the States
Are ‘90 Day Fiance’ Stars James and Tatha Still Together?
James and Tatha were already married when they started filming the reality show and they’re seemingly going strong following their time on the franchise.
How Did ‘90 Day Fiance’ Stars James and Tatha Meet?
The couple first connected on social media. They dated for two and a half years before they tied the knot, while James and Tatha were married for two and a half years when they made their reality TV debut.
Tatha hails from Indonesia, and she moved to James’ native Maine to pursue their relationship. She shared insight into the early days of their romance in the season premiere, which was teased in a clip from People.
She explained they dated for two months before James visited her in Indonesia for the first time. “He asked to marry me five days after he got here,” the reality star said. “It’s so fast. But I’m madly in love with him, and it feels amazing inside … You’re stuck with me!”
What Problems Have ‘90 Day Fiance’ Stars James and Tatha Faced in Their Relationship?
Fans can expect to see plenty of drama between James and Tatha on the show. In a teaser clip from the July 1, 2024, episode shared by People, James admitted he was afraid of his wife.
“Tatha is an amazing woman, but she is a very jealous woman. She’s told me several times. You ever cheat on me? I will take your d–k,” James recalled in a confessional while giggling. “It’s so scary, and I get so nervous.”
It appears that Tatha is aware of her temper, and said she can go from “one to 1,000” quickly. “For me, everything is so emotional,” she admitted. “I cry a lot.”
‘90 Day Fiance’ Star Tatha Doesn’t Like Living in Maine
Another issue in their relationship stems from Tatha’s dislike of Maine.
“This is ice. It’s not even snow or rain. It’s just hail,” James complained about the weather conditions as the couple walked through a forest in the teaser clip. Tatha responded that the weather is the reason she misses Indonesia, while James agreed that they had “pretty terrible weather” that day.
While Tatha clearly isn’t a fan of her new hometown, she explained she moved to Maine because Indonesian culture encourages wives to “follow” their husbands.
“So I came to Maine, and then we got married in 90 days, and now I live here for about two and half years,” she said in a confessional. “I love my husband to death, but I’m not happy here and I just can’t do it anymore.”
Tatha later returned to Indonesia, while James planned to join her at a later date. Both of them hesitated to tell their families about the permanent move to the Asian country. When James told his family he was leaving the U.S., they were disappointed and upset, and he faced more conflict with Tatha’s family in Indonesia.
James Feared a Clash With Tatha’s Family
When James finally met Tatha’s family during the August 5, 2024, episode, her parents were upset that he hadn’t learned their language yet. He feared that he would disappoint them further when they found out that he doesn’t have a job right now and doesn’t want kids.
Though James and Tatha had concerns about money, they kept up a united front and finally told her parents about the permanent move to Indonesia during the August 12, 2024, episode. Thankfully, her parents were happy and even offered to help them find their footing financially. After their initial loan was paid off, though, her father said to “never take a loan again.”
