90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days stars David Dangerfield and Sheila Mangubat have faced several challenges leading up to their engagement and marriage. 41-year-old David from Omaha, Nebraska, was born deaf. He had been in a relationship with Sheila from the Philippines for two years by the time they filmed the 90 Day Fiancé spin-off. David and Sheila’s innocent and honest portrayal of their relationship amid storylines filled with chaos and drama was refreshing to fans.
The obstacles Sheila and David have overcome so far have only made them a stronger couple. Sheila’s not being fluent in American Sign Language was a cause of concern for the couple’s supporters. David hired an interpreter named Aimee when he went to the Philippines. Sheila was understandably jealous of her. She worried David would choose Aimee over her. Moreover, Sheila’s son Jhonreil also took a long time to agree to move to America with his mom in the future. Sheila and David are one couple from the season that fans had high hopes for and want to get married.
How Did 90 Day Fiancé’s David & Sheila Meet?
David was used to people treating him differently, thinking he was helpless, or even making fun of him. All he wanted in life was to start a family and have a wife. David kept turned down despite putting himself out there consistently. Six years ago, David was in a relationship, but she cheated on him.
David joined a Facebook group for deaf singles, where he met Sheila. “When I first saw Sheila’s picture, it got my heart beating,” he confessed. Sheila was born with perfect hearing but started having hearing problems due to a heartbreaking accident when she was six. David and Sheila began communicating over text. “I will have a new family with Sheila in the future,” David hoped in episode 1.
Sheila Had To Deal With A Devastating Loss After Meeting David
David and Sheila’s first in-person meeting wasn’t a great one. While trying to overcome the language barrier, Sheila was also embarrassed to show David the dire conditions she was living in. David slept in Sheila’s rickety house the night he met her parents. The following day, they woke up to find out Sheila’s mom, Ma Remedios, had died. “My mother fell down near the stairs. It wasn’t nailed properly and it gave out,” Sheila explained. David and Sheila had to spend days apart as Sheila was required to honor her family’s Filipino funeral traditions.
Did David Marry Sheila & Is Sheila In The U.S.?
David spent the next few days contemplating whether he wanted to propose to Sheila before returning to the U.S. David did pop the question during a romantic dinner date, and Sheila said yes. When David left the Philippines in 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 6, episode 15, the couple were emotional at the thought of parting ways. David recently engaged in a conversation with co-star Riley Diego after posting photos of his dream house for Sheila and her son in the Philippines. In the comments, Riley told him, “You will. Trust me. Let’s connect because there are programs out here for first time homebuyers.”
David replied, “Wait see but I think better wait marry first after that see what happens.” David has confirmed that he’s still together with Sheila after 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. However, they aren’t married, which, although sad, does leave a door open for Sheila and David to return via in new spin-off that could feature them getting married.
