Rick Van Vactor and Trish Stiley are one of several couples featured on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days Season 8. After meeting a woman from Madagascar on vacation, Rick decided to set his dating app location to Madagascar. That’s where he met Trish, whom he instantly fell for. Despite their twenty-five-year age gap, Rick and Trish pursued an online relationship and fell in love.
While Rick and Trish initially shared a strong connection, their relationship has already had many ups and downs. After meeting in person, they have begun to realize how different they really are. Many viewers have wondered if Rick and Trish are still together after Season 8. Here’s everything we know about where Rick and Trish stand with one another today.
Rick Van Vactor and Trish Stiley are a controversial couple on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days Season 8
Rick and Trish started Season 8 as one of the couples with the most potential. They seemed infatuated with one another when they first met and had an electric connection. However, it didn’t take long for things to start falling apart. Shortly after he arrived in Madagascar, Rick admitted during a confessional that he had recently cheated on Trish. When Trish stopped answering him regularly for a few days, he decided to go visit his ex-girlfriend in Colombia. They slept together multiple times, and he didn’t tell Trish. Instead, he resumed a normal relationship with Trish when she began answering regularly again.
Trish was heartbroken when Rick came clean about his cheating. While she was hurt, she decided to give him another chance because she loved him. Nonetheless, fans saw the situation as a major red flag on Rick’s part. Viewers are also hesitant about the couple’s large age gap, as Rick is old enough to be Trish’s father. Throughout the season, Rick and Trish have gone from being one of the more solid couples to one of the most controversial ones.
Rick and Trish have disagreed on major life matters like having kids
As a result of their age difference, Rick and Trish have disagreed on many important life decisions. Trish is set on having children, which she has continuously expressed to Rick. Since Rick already has five children of his own, he admitted that he wasn’t sure if he wanted more kids. However, he made it sound like he was still open to the idea. Recently, during a confessional, though, he admitted that he didn’t want more children.
Rick recently went to meet Trish’s family, where the children topic repeatedly came up. Her family emphasized that their culture viewed marriage as a means of having children. It’s very important to them, and they really want Trish to have children. Trish’s father also made it clear that without Rick agreeing to have children, he wouldn’t approve of them getting married. Her father also wasn’t happy with the age difference, although he didn’t make a big deal about it.
Rick has been seen on Facebook Dating since filming, suggesting he is no longer with Trish
About a month after Season 8 premiered, a viewer found a familiar face on Facebook Dating. Instagram blogger Shabooty was quick to post all of the info for fans to see. Rick had an active profile on the dating site, which listed his age as 53. This would make sense, since he was 52 during filming. Rick had several photos of himself on his profile and had liked at least one viewer’s profile as well.
While nothing is certain until the Tell All, this strongly points to Rick and Trish no longer being together. It’s possible that Rick and Trish might’ve briefly broken up and gotten back together, but it seems unlikely. After everything that they went through this season, it wouldn’t be a surprise if their relationship didn’t work out. However, viewers will have to watch to the end of Season 8 to officially find out what happens between Rick and Trish.
90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days is available to stream on Discovery +.
