Fellow 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 5 cast members Daniele Gates and Julio Moya have connections outside their 90 Day Fiancé association. Daniele first appeared on Love in Paradise: The Carribean season 2 with her now-husband Yohan Geronimo. Daniele’s supposedly permanent move to Yohan’s native Dominican Republic has been the subject of the last two seasons of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way. Daniele has been painted as the villain in her relationship, and viewers have watched many toxic and explosive moments between Daniele and Yohan.
Julio is a newcomer to the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. His relationship with his Dutch girlfriend, Kirsten Schoemaker, and his potential move to The Netherlands to be with her have been their main narrative. Viewers have been watching Julio backpedal on his promises to Kirsten. Julio has unsuccessfully tried to pitch the idea of Kirsten moving to the US instead of him going to Europe. Julio took things a step further and floated the idea of not living together were he to move to The Netherlands. Julio’s last-minute hesitations have infuriated Kirsten and have driven a wedge in their relationship.
What Is The Nature Of Daniele And Julio’s Relationship?
On August 4, 2023, Daniele shared an Instagram post posing with Julio. Both are New York natives, and the picture was geotagged in Bay Shore, New York. In her caption, Daniele wrote, “Vecinos,” the Spanish word for neighbors. In his reply, Julio wrote, “Dope meeting a fellow cast mate, have fun in fire Island.” It’s unclear from their interaction whether their meetup was intentional and if they had been talking for a while.
Whether Daniele and Julio are more than friends and fellow castmates is also murky. Julio is rumored to be split from Kirsten, while Daniele and Yohan no longer follow each other. 43-year-old Daniele has been known to go for younger men, so 27-year-old Julio could be someone she’s attracted to. However, since their early August post together, the pair have not interacted in a way that would suggest their relationship is anything other than friendly.
Daniele Instigated Drama With Julio’s Mom
Daniele’s other connection to Julio comes with a bit of drama. Daniele likes to comment on currently airing episodes, and in one Instagram Story, Daniele took aim at Julio’s mom. She sarcastically dug, “I feel like Julio’s mother is the mother of every man I’ve dated for the last 15 years.” Julio didn’t comment on Daniele’s thoughts, so it’s possible he didn’t see it. Julio is protective over his mom, so it’s likely he would have had something to say. Since he didn’t and met up with Daniele after her comment, the 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way alums appear to be on good terms.
