American Deavan met Jihoon on a dating app which led to him flying from South Korea to the US to meet her. During this first meeting, Deavan fell pregnant with their son, Taeyang. Further down the line, Clegg moved to South Korea with her daughter, Drascilla, from an earlier relationship to be with Jihoon.

According to Deavan, she and Jihoon decided to present their relationship on 90 Day Fiancé in a way that varied from their off-camera life.

“If you want me to be [100 percent] honest, I don’t think there was a romantic connection to begin with,” she wrote. “We both felt this way and had talked about it several times.”

We did everything for the show because he had debts and I had medical bills to pay. When I moved there, we never slept in the same bed and faked it for YouTube and the show.
