90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 5 couple Brandan and Mary have one of the most interesting storylines of how they started dating. Brandan is a 23-year-old from Eugene, Oregon, while Mary is 23 years old and from the Philippines. Brandan spends every single second of his day video-chatting with Mary. Since they met virtually, they agreed to be on the phone 24/7. As long as they have an internet connection, Brandan and Mary have eaten, cooked, and showered with their phones for the past two years.
The ticket to the Philippines being too expensive stopped Brandan from visiting Mary. He stays in an RV outside his godparents’ house and helps them with odd jobs around the house. Brandan’s parents split when he was around five years old, and he started staying with his mom and two younger half-siblings. Brandan’s mom lost custody when she failed a drug test and was sent to stay with his dad for three years. Brandan then left his hostile dad’s home and tried finding places to stay and jobs to keep. Brandan started staying in a truck for two months before his godparents took him in.
How Did Brandan & Mary From 90 Day Fiancé Meet?
Brandan was 21 years old and trying to get over a bad breakup when he started using dating apps and got a message from Mary. When he looked at Mary’s pictures, he thought she was out of his league. They started talking and spoke for five days straight with no sleep. Brandan thought he could have never been in a relationship with someone like Mary, but “then it just happened.” Mary’s ex-boyfriend cheated on her many times, and he treated her badly. Mary then decided to go on a dating site and look for an American man when she found Brandan.
Mary Fell For Brandan Because He Looks Like Harry Potter & Justin Bieber
Mary wanted to date an American man because she loves “Harry Potter and Justin Bieber.” When corrected by the producer about Harry Potter being British, Mary admitted that in the Philippines, they refer to the British, Canadian “and everything” as American. She fell in love with Brandan when she first saw his profile. “He’s very handsome, cute and I love his eyes,” Mary said while blushing. Meanwhile, Brandan admits that Mary is the first person who’s ever made him feel good enough. She’s the one who saved him from himself.
Brandan’s world was black and white before Mary entered it, and now it’s colorful. Brandan wants to move to the Philippines because he hasn’t had a good experience in the U.S. so far. Over two years in the making, and Brandan is ready to meet Mary in two and a half weeks. Brandan knows that they fight almost every day over Brandan being friendly with other women. Parts of his relationship with Mary have become tumultuous and toxic. 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 5 will reveal if Brandan and Mary can make it work.
