90 Day Fiancé: What Is The Status Of Kobe Blaise’s Relationship With Emily Bieberly’s Parents?

90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? star Kobe Blaise gave a surprising update on his relationship with his in-laws during part 2 of the season 8 Tell All. Emily Bieberly’s parents, Lisa Bieberly and David Bieberly have not been shy about sharing their opinions on Emily and Kobe’s marriage. Emily and Kobe had a whirlwind romance while traveling in China, and Emily quickly became pregnant. Kobe, who is from Cameroon, couldn’t immigrate to America in time for the birth of his and Emily’s son, Koban. Emily and Kobe are now married and reside in Kansas.

During 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8, Lisa and David joined Emily, Kobe, and their children on a trip to Cameroon. Throughout the trip, Emily’s family overcame their culture shock to build a relationship with Kobe’s family and gain a better understanding of their son-in-law. However, back at home, Emily and Kobe made an announcement that caused her parents some alarm. After the season’s conclusion, Emily’s parents joined the Tell All stage to share their thoughts on Kobe’s relationship with their daughter.

Emily And Kobe Lived With Emily’s Parents

When Kobe arrived in America, he moved in with Emily at her parents’ house in Salina, Kansas. Although Emily had a close relationship with her parents, the living situation caused plenty of tension. David wondered how Kobe planned to support his family since Kobe’s career path was unclear. Kobe couldn’t work immediately upon his arrival in Kansas and he also lacked a long-term plan. Furthermore, Emily’s parents questioned her compatibility with Kobe and their fast-paced romance.

Emily’s parents’ patience grew thin with their daughter, son-in-law, and grandson living in their basement. They made Emily and Kobe promise to move out before having any more children. However, Emily and Kobe were caught off guard when she became pregnant once again. They were terrified to tell Emily’s parents, considering they were no closer to moving out on their own. By the start of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8, Emily and Kobe were still living in David and Lisa’s house, along with their two children.

Kobe Felt Pressured To Move Out Before The Birth Of Their Third Child

At the close of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8, Emily and Kobe made a shocking announcement to Lisa and David: Emily and Kobe were expecting their third child. Unfortunately, their news did not go over as well as they anticipated. Emily and Kobe felt pressured to find a home of their own. Although they had been searching for a house, Emily had yet to find the perfect fit for their family. Emily’s parents told her she needed to lower her expectations and move into any home she could find.

Emily was hurt by her parents’ lack of enthusiasm, but Kobe understood where they were coming from. He, too, felt it was important to find a home for his family, and he wanted to respect the wishes of Emily’s parents. Kobe never had the opportunity to fully provide for his family, and he admitted it was time they learned to live on their own. Although Emily seemed comfortable in her parents’ home, Kobe did not want to wear out their welcome any further.

Kobe Spoke Emotionally About His Gratitude For Emily’s Parents

At the Tell All, Kobe became emotional when Lisa and David joined the stage. Kobe said that no matter what boundaries Emily’s parents set, he will “always be grateful” for them. Kobe explained that he was unable to work for over a year after his arrival in America, and Emily’s parents allowed his family to live comfortably. He said his in-laws have done “more than enough” by freeing him from having to worry about supporting his family.

Kobe began to cry when recounting all that Emily’s parents had given him. His gratitude went beyond David and Lisa’s material help and extended to their emotional support. Kobe said that having Emily’s parents in his life is “enough blessing.” Kobe has proven that, in addition to being a loving husband and father, he is also aware of life’s gifts and takes the time to show his appreciation.

Emily’s Father Praised Kobe As A Son-In-Law

When Kobe grew emotional, David also began to tear up, showing how strong a connection he and Kobe have. David said he “couldn’t ask for a better son-in-law” and praised the mutual respect he and Kobe have for each other. Lisa, meanwhile, said they are “blessed to have” Kobe in their lives. Kobe said that because of how he was raised, he understands the importance of speaking respectfully to his elders. This has caused friction between him and Emily, as sometimes Kobe does not take Emily’s side during disagreements with her parents.

Although David and Lisa have voiced their concerns and frustrations about Kobe and Emily in the past, their relationship currently stands on solid ground. It is refreshing to see Kobe acknowledging all the help they have received, as well as maintaining respect for Lisa and David. Emily’s parents have been pivotal to Kobe’s success in America, and their support has allowed Emily and Kobe’s relationship to flourish.

What Does The Future Hold For Emily And Kobe’s Family?

Emily and Kobe announced on the 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8 Tell All that they had bought a house a few months prior and were no longer living with David and Lisa. Kobe admitted he “was desperate” to keep his word to Emily’s father about moving out before the birth of their child. Their new home is ten minutes away from David and Lisa. Emily emotionally recounted how her children miss seeing their grandparents daily. David and Lisa said their home is now “quiet and clean,” and they are enjoying their “house honeymoon.”

Despite still being pregnant with her third child at the taping of the 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8 Tell All, Emily intends to continue growing her family. She shared that she sees herself having “four or five” children. However, Emily admitted she would reassess her plans once her third child arrived. Emily knows life with three children will be chaotic, but she and Kobe are ready to embrace the chaos with her parent’s support.
