Forrest and Sheena were one of several new couples introduced during the 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days Season 8 premiere. The couple has been dating virtually for seven years, although their relationship has looked different from most online ones. Forrest has enabled his home as a smart home, with 24/7 video camera access for Sheena. He explained that it helps him feel safer to know she’s always there. Sheena can speak to Forrest over the speakers at any time, which has helped to make communication easier. Forrest is even on Filipino time, despite living in Oregon.

While Forrest and Sheena have enjoyed their online relationship, they are finally meeting in person. Forrest is traveling to the Philippines with his mother, Molly, and stepfather to meet Sheena. While many fans felt that Forrest and Sheena’s relationship seemed sweet and genuine, some had concerns.

During the Season 8 premiere, Molly revealed that Sheena wasn’t Forrest’s first online girlfriend in another country. Forrest had previously dated a woman in Indonesia, who ended up scamming him. The woman took all of Forrest’s money, and things fell apart once they met in person. 

Molly is worried that Sheena may be exhibiting behaviors similar to those of Forrest’s ex. Sheena had originally told Forrest that she had a bank account with money for them to use toward their future. Later on, Sheena claimed that her parents also had access to the account and stole all of the money. The same thing happened again about four years later. While Forrest believes that Sheena is telling the truth about the money, Molly isn’t as convinced. Some viewers are also concerned that Sheena may not be being entirely truthful with Forrest.

The majority of viewers found it inappropriate that Forrest’s mother Molly took him to an adult shop during the Season 8 premiere 

After the premiere, many viewers took note of the fact that Molly took Forrest to an adult shop. They went to pick out a gift for Sheena, which ended up being a piece of lingerie. Many fans found this odd and inappropriate, as a parent taking a child to an adult store is not something considered to be normal. While they went solely to pick out a gift for Sheena, it was still a bit weird. 

Viewers have already recognized that Molly and Forrest may be one of the next inseparable 90 Day Fiancé mother-son duos. The franchise has seen several mothers and sons with extremely close relationships, to the point where it isn’t normal. Since Molly is going with Forrest to the Philippines, some fans think she might be an obstacle in his relationship with Sheena in person.

Forrest and Sheena’s story is eerily similar to a controversial couple from 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way

Forrest and Sheena’s story is unique, but a very similar one was featured on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way Season 5 several years ago. Brandan DeNuccio, like Forrest, is from Oregon. Similarly, Brandan’s wife, Mary Demasu-ay lives in the Philippines, just like Sheena. While Forrest has 24/7 security access for Sheena, Brandan and Mary were on video calls 24/7. Even when they slept, Brandan and Mary refused to hang up.

Brandan and Mary were a controversial couple for several reasons, much of which had to do with their clingy personalities. While communication is important in any relationship, 24/7 surveillance is a bit extreme. This was a red flag with Brandan and Mary, and some viewers are concerned that Forrest and Sheena are making the same mistakes.

While Forrest and Sheena seem to be genuinely in love, their relationship has a few red flags. To further complicate things, Molly seems to be overbearing over both Forrest as well as the relationship. It will be interesting to see if Forrest and Sheena’s relationship can survive meeting face to face, or if they will crack under pressure.

90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days is available to stream on Discovery +.
