Summary
- Kimberly Rochelle married her partner Tejaswi “TJ” Goswami in India despite the ongoing drama with his family.
- Kimberly’s lack of openness to adopt Indian culture created tension with TJ’s family and made them feel she wasn’t making an effort to fit in.
- Kimberly has since returned to the U.S. and hinted at potential issues in her marriage by posting a video in an American-looking kitchen.
Kimberly Rochelle from 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way gave away a spoiler about her current location after marrying Tejaswi “TJ” Goswami. On season 5, the 30-year-old Alabama resident moved to India to marry her 33-year-old partner. While she connected with him on a good note, things changed after he introduced her to his family. TJ’s brother, Yash, wasn’t confident letting Kimberly become a part of their household. He felt she was uncultured and didn’t respect Indian customs enough. Kimberly and Yash had numerous fights while TJ tried to defend his soon-to-be wife. Unfortunately, he failed to stop the drama.
As Kimberly spent more time with TJ’s family, she angered them even more. At one point, she wore an unacceptable outfit during a small get-together, which led TJ’s mother to blow up on her. Suddenly, the American woman didn’t see her relationship working out. She confessed to her dad that while she still loved TJ, she didn’t feel excited about their wedding. She shared that she was unsure if things would work out and contemplated what to do next. Kimberly’s dad advised her to book a ticket back to the United States.
Kimberly Keeps Arguing With TJ & His Brother
One of Kimberly’s biggest issues was her lack of openness to adopt Indian culture. She felt that conforming to TJ’s cultural norms would mean giving up on her individuality. Therefore, she didn’t make any effort in that direction. Kimberly’s self-centered personality made TJ’s family members believe she wasn’t putting any effort into being a part of the Goswami household. The two sides kept clashing as the date of marriage came near. The 90 Day Fiancé franchise star never gave Yash a reason to feel she was a good sister-in-law; the same was true the other way around.
Did Kimberly Get Married To TJ
Despite the drama, Kimberly married TJ and went through with the ceremony. Many of the couple’s Instagram photos show them all dolled up for their special day. Kimberly recently posted one picture from her roka ceremony, which usually takes place a few weeks or months before the wedding. Roka is like a mini-marriage ceremony that solidifies the union of two families before the big wedding. The photos suggest that Kimberly has married TJ and spent much time with him in India. It’s still unknown if she overcame her differences with TJ’s family.
Kimberly Reveals She Has Returned To The U.S.
Kimberly has since warmed up to Indian culture. Recently, she posted a video of herself sporting the traditional Indian bride makeup and cooking. She said, “making some soup with whatever I can find in the pantry & fridge cause I’m sick.” While Kimberly cooked her meal, many 90 Day Fiancé fans noticed that the kitchen behind her seemed to have American architecture. A social media user asked, “are you back in America?” stating that the kitchen setup didn’t look like from the Indian home. Kimberly replied to the fan, “yes ma’am.” It’s hard to speculate what Kimberly’s move means, but hopefully, she’s still happily married to her 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way co-star TJ.
90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EDT on TLC.
