90 Day Fiancé fan favorites Kenny Niedermeier and Armando Rubio were one of the first same-sex couples featured on the hit show. Despite a large age gap and different geographical locations, the two overcame many obstacles, eventually saying “I Do” and starting their happily ever after. However, their story is not over and while the two men each have children from previous relationships, they are now on a personal quest to welcome a baby together via surrogacy.
For most couples, the rather lengthy surrogacy journey can be joyous and rewarding, but it can also be heartbreaking, with devastating outcomes. Some issues have stopped Kenny and Armando from having a baby together. They’ve been accumulating money through various ventures, including penning a charming children’s book, “You, Me & Our Families – A Campfire Tale.”They’ve formed a close bond with a potential surrogate, so they may be slightly closer to achieving their goal. 2025 could be the year their dream finally comes true.
Armando Pressured Kenny To Welcome A Baby With Him
Armando Agreed Because He Loves HIs Partner
A large age gap in a relationship can sometimes lead to trouble, as couples of different ages may have differing goals and expectations. Sometimes, age gap duos clash so much that they split up. Kenny has four children, and he’s 25 years older than Armando. His younger partner is 34 years old. The two currently live in Mexico City with Armando’s daughter, Hannah Rubio. Kenny had to leave the United States to be with Armando, and it’s easy to wonder what the power dynamic is in the marriage. Kenny seems to jump through hoops for Armando, catering to him.
Kenny wasn’t that keen on welcoming another baby at first, but he caved in, agreeing to try, as Armando desperately wants to give Hannah a sibling. Armando is in his mid-30’s with only one child, and there was a terrible tragedy, as Armando’s wife died in a car accident while she was pregnant with their second child. The unborn baby did not survive. If they have different priorities due to being at different stages of life, those challenges may be quite hard to transcend, and trigger further relationship struggles.
The Egg Donor Process Has Been Difficult
The surrogacy process is quite intricate and includes deciding between private or agency surrogacy. There are also a lot of expenses, including legal fees, insurance costs, and medical bills. There is also the issue of locating a potential surrogate mother and determining which egg donor to use. While Kenny and Armando have begun to form a closer bond with their potential surrogate Emma, the couple have faced a setback in another area. The egg donor process has also been very difficult. That hurdle has led to a delay in their parenthood journey.
The couple were close to obtaining eggs to begin the fertilization process, but their egg donor unexpectedly withdrew and left them heartbroken. This came amidst confusion about how many eggs would be transferred during the IVF process. With this integral part of the process falling through, the couple will have to locate a new egg donor. The research, waiting time, and additional expenses are sure to put a strain on the couple as they move forward.
Kenny & Armando Are Looking On The Bright Side In 2025

Kenny and Armando haven’t been seen in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise in over a year, so some aspects of their recent life together remain unclear. Have they quit the show? Is their marriage surviving the pitfalls of the surrogacy journey? These are questions that another stint in the franchise might answer. Despite the obstacles they have faced, the couple seem to be managing their expectations appropriately. They do post online, and appear to be in love as they navigate life’s inevitable ups and downs.
