Zuri Soto is trying France again. On 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, the 26-year-old from Fairfield, Connecticut, packs up to move back to Ben Brachet after their first attempt fell apart. She is scared. She is also still in love.
Why the First Try Failed
Zuri and Ben met in the UK and soon lived together in Nice. Zuri did not speak French. She also felt cold treatment from Ben’s friends. The recap says that included someone throwing ice at her. She moved back to Connecticut.
Her family and friends are worried. Her mom does not want her to leave again. At her going-away party, friends questioned Ben’s honesty because of an incident with another girl online during their first run. Zuri says she is ready to move past it. TLC has also teased unanswered questions about whether Ben grew close to another woman while they were apart. That has not been confirmed.
A Welcome That Isn’t Warm
In France, Ben’s friends do not hide how they feel. They say Zuri never learned the language and that he would be better off without her. Ben asks them to be open-minded. Zuri also works in outreach and marketing at a recording studio. It is still unclear if she can do that job from abroad.
Two Problems, One Plane Ticket
The friends are not the only issue. Zuri needs to show she can fit into a life where she was unhappy. Ben needs to show he will stand up for her. Both have to happen at once, and the first meeting in France already looks tense.
