Emma Perry and Ziad El Yahyaoui are one of the most mismatched couples on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days Season 8. The couple met on an international dating app and quickly fell for one another. While Emma was excited to meet Ziad, she had some reservations. She hadn’t told him that she had previously been engaged to another man in Morocco, and worried that the news would upset him.
While Emma and Ziad had a strong connection online, things changed once they met in person. It quickly became clear that Emma and Ziad had very different expectations. They were both dishonest with one another about certain things, which has led to a lot of conflict in their relationship. Recently, several signs have indicated that Emma and Ziad broke up after Season 8. Here’s everything we know so far.
Emma Perry and Ziad El Yahyaoui have consistently shown that they’re not compatible on Before the 90 Days Season 8
Throughout Season 8, Emma and Ziad have proven time and time again that they aren’t compatible. Emma was taken aback when Ziad told her that they couldn’t be physically intimate with one another while she was on the plane to Morocco. He had previously claimed that despite the conservative culture in Morocco, she was “his girl” and they could do anything. However, after Emma arrived, he completely changed his story. He now insisted that they couldn’t kiss or do anything physical, as it was against his religion and values.
Later on, Ziad questioned Emma about why she disappeared when they first started talking. Emma had been trying to make things work with her ex at the time, and temporarily ghosted Ziad. When she admitted that she was in another relationship, Ziad wasn’t happy. He admitted that he believed Emma was hiding a lot of things, which made him begin to doubt their relationship. On the other hand, Emma became concerned that Ziad was hiding things when he was evasive about her meeting his family.
Emma eventually got to meet two of Ziad’s close friends, although the meeting didn’t go as planned. During the meeting, one of Ziad’s friends asked him if he could see Emma being his wife. Ziad shook his head and claimed that there was a “zero percent” chance of it happening. This once again confused Emma, who couldn’t figure out what Ziad wanted with her. Throughout all of these disagreements, it’s become evident that Emma and Ziad weren’t a compatible match.
Emma and Ziad recently unfollowed one another on Instagram

At the beginning of Season 8, Emma and Ziad were following one another on Instagram. They even interacted with one another on the comments of various posts. Recently, however, Emma and Ziad have unfollowed one another. This is a huge sign that they may have broken up, especially since they were following each other before.
It’s not unusual for 90 Day Fiancé cast members to follow their partners while their seasons are airing. This isn’t a violation of their NDAs, which makes it unlikely that Emma and Ziad unfollowed one another to keep things under wraps. A breakup is the most likely reason, which wouldn’t be surprising after how chaotic Emma and Ziad’s story line has been this season.
The Season 8 trailer shows a moment between Emma and Ziad where he claims things are over
The Season 8 trailer teases a lot of drama, but one moment between Emma and Ziad stands out. In a scene that hasn’t aired yet, Emma and Ziad are seen together in the mountains. While it looks like a possible set up for a proposal, it seems like things take a turn for the worst. Ziad walks away from Emma and proclaims, “it’s the end”. Emma is then shown crying and saying that she’s upset, as Ziad seemingly leaves her behind.
Since this scene hasn’t aired yet, it’s possible that it concludes Emma and Ziad’s story. It could be the moment where Emma comes clean about her Moroccan ex, which Ziad may be unable to accept. While it’s possible the trailer included the clip for drama and suspense, it’s also possible that things between Emma and Ziad really did end in Morocco. Of course, viewers will have to wait until the Tell All for the full update on where they currently stand. However, it seems more likely than not that Emma and Ziad are no longer together.
90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days is available to stream on Discovery +.
