90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way star Daniele Gates has revealed the reason she’s gone back to Yohan Geronimo despite the cheating scandal uncovered in season 6. Daniele from New York and Yohan from the Dominican Republic have been one of the most incompatible couples in the franchise. Daniele was attracted to gym manager and personal trainer Yohan the moment she saw him because of his height. Daniele didn’t mind that Yohan was called a “sanky panky” by her close friends.

However, Daniele remained suspicious about Yohan’s intentions. She did marry him, but after moving from New York to La Romana, Daniele saw how serious Yohan was about settling down in America. While Daniele and Yohan fought over their finances, he also told Daniele he wanted to have a baby with her despite her age. Yohan accused Daniele of selling him a dream. He wanted to live like a king with his American wife, but instead, Yohan had to resort to finding other American women who could get him a house and a car.

Daniele’s Life Before 90 Day Fiancé Explored

Daniele Became A Single Mom At The Age Of 21

Daniele was the first cast member introduced on Love In Paradise: The Caribbean season 2. Daniele had explained she had been a high school history teacher for 19 years. Her side hustle was that Daniele worked as a holistic wellness coach. She said she had a lot of personality, but she was also a very spiritual person. Daniele was born Catholic but had recently become a student of the Ifa tradition. Ifa was born in the Yoruba culture in Africa, and they had a lot of rituals and traditions, such as having an altar for one’s ancestors.

“My love life has been a s*** show.”

Daniele became a single mom at the age of 21. After she had her son, Daniele began choosing men who would be good father figures but not necessarily good partners to Daniele. She got married to her first ex-husband when she turned 26 years old. Daniele’s first marriage only lasted for six months. She also had two live-in relationships; however, they also didn’t work out. Daniele swore off dating altogether. She didn’t know the chaos her life was bringing her way in the form of Yohan.

Daniele had seen the most “beautiful” man she had ever seen in a hotel lobby.

Daniele Was Contacted By Yohan’s Girlfriend

Yohan’s Girlfriend Was In A Relationship With Him For Two Years

A woman reached out to Daniele on social media to tell her Yohan had been cheating on Daniele with her for two years, a month before Daniele and Yohan got married. The woman wanted to know when Daniele was getting a divorce from Yohan. Yohan had been in contact with the woman and asked her to speak to a lawyer to pay for his divorce. The woman told Daniele that the situation was “very uncomfortable” for her because she didn’t know if what Yohan was saying was true. She told Daniele she had even met Yohan’s father and his nephew.

The woman had been giving money to Yohan’s family. Yohan had been talking to her every day for two years. She also had some intimate videos and voice notes from Yohan. He even took the woman to the apartment he was sharing with Daniele while Daniele was away on a retreat. Daniele wondered if the woman had reached out to her on purpose, so Daniele could leave Yohan, and they could live happily ever after. She had given Daniele a play-by-play of their relationship and described every detail, including every time she saw Yohan.

“I never thought that he was capable of this.”

Yohan Kept Denying The Accusations – Did Daniele Lie About Yohan Being Unfaithful?

Daniele had no idea who her husband was anymore. Daniele went through Yohan’s computer and found there were at least six women that he was having inappropriate sexual relationships with at the time. He’d taken money from them and made plans to meet or have video calls with them. One woman was also Daniele’s client. They had engaged in a relationship while she was at the retreat with Yohan and Daniele. Daniele revealed that while she couldn’t keep track of how many women he cheated on her with, she believed they were “probably close to like, 50 or 60.”

Meanwhile, Yohan insisted, “I never cheated on her but I should have.”

Daniele Revealed Why She Wanted To Save Her Marriage

In September, Daniele did an Instagram Live where she explained why she wanted to meet Yohan again. Kikiandkibbitz screen recorded the live, and Daniele can be heard saying she doesn’t need a partner. She said that she was not ready to settle down because she had been really happy having no partner in 2024 and was also able to create many beautiful things. However, Daniele also believed there were things she needed a partner for. “It is better to have a partner,” she added. Daniele claimed that Yohan was an “amazing partner” to her.

“Except for really one, or two [things] Yohan was an amazing partner.”

Daniele admitted that her praising Yohan didn’t sound good, but there were a lot of things that Yohan did and nobody else had a chance to see. Daniele declared she was going to allow Yohan to have the life that he deserved. She also added, “If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work.” Daniele said it was not going to affect her because there was nothing Yohan was going to take from her. She even slammed a person who told her Yohan wasn’t good for her, in the comments. “He was good to me a lot of times,” she continued.

Is Daniele Really Back Together With Yohan?

Did Yohan Fool Fans By Posting An Old Photo?

Redditor fokkinchucky has now noticed that Daniele has been trying to do damage control over getting back together with Yohan. Daniele is also trying to make it look like “she didn’t do it, Yohan did.” One of the screenshots Daniele posted on her Instagram Stories, showed a fan telling Daniele they were disappointed in her because she and Yohan got back together. Daniele told the fan there was “nothing” posted by her saying they were back together. “HE DID,” Daniele shared. It looks like the fear of being judged has pushed Daniele into denying her reconciliation with Yohan.
