90 Day Fiancé Before The 90 Days – Stephanie heads to Australia to meet Erika
There is some concern for Stephanie, partly due to the fact she feels insecure about being with Erika after being single for so long. However, she is also worried about health issues. It turns out she has a rare bone marrow disorder, which required her to get clearance from her doctors to make the journey.
Stephanie takes a variety of medications to stay stable and is worried this fact might drive Erika away. As she doesn’t want to make Erika uncomfortable, she suggests she will be happy if they just kiss and take things no further right now.

Unfortunately, the sneak peek video shows the couple having their first fight. This is over the fact Stephanie has discovered Erika still has a dating app on her phone. According to Stephanie, she spotted the app when her Australian partner showed her something on her phone.
Meanwhile, Erika insists she hasn’t been with anyone over the time they have spent speaking to each other online. A photographer by trade, Erika explained she also uses the dating app for its business networking side. However, when Stephanie then asks her to delete the app, Erika is visibly annoyed, asking if Stephanie doesn’t have faith in her, how is their relationship going to work?
Erika addresses the TLC cameras to explain the situation, saying she believes Stephanie is handling this in a “completely inappropriate way.” She continued by saying she feels a lot of pressure and doesn’t want to let anyone down.
Stephanie and Erika are the first-ever same-sex couple on 90 Day Fiancé. Erika said they don’t want to let down the LGBTQ community. She wants to be a “great representation” for the community, while also realizing she and Erika are just like any other couple.

Erika said they are obviously going to experience the same problems as any other couple. She hopes viewers will come to the situation with an open mind and give her and Stephanie the chance to tell their story.
