Kenneth Niedermeier and Armando Rubio were the first gay male couple to be featured in “90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way,” and their relationship was one of the sweetest ones in the franchise. It didn’t come without its challenges, though. Rubio didn’t feel supported by his mom after he and Niedermeier got engaged on the show. “Her telling me that she would have preferred I told her in private shows me that she’s still struggling with it. I think in some ways maybe she feels embarrassed that I’m gay. She needs to learn how to accept me without worrying what anybody says, thinks, or who is around,” he told the cameras (via People).
Rubio’s dad was also uncomfortable with him being gay and it was unsure if he would even show up to the wedding. However, Rubio wasn’t left disappointed. “It really was the last minute that we knew my dad was going to show up. So, it was quite a surprise, a pleasant surprise. And since then, things went slow, but things have gotten a lot better,” he shared with E! News. Niedermeier also had some good news. “Me and his dad have really become buddies. From the first time he met me, he wanted to punch me out, I think and we’ve really come a long way. We’re just a family now,” he stated. Surprisingly, the “90 Day Fiancé” divorce rate is lower than you’d think – and Niedermeier and Rubio are still going strong.
