90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 7 could potentially be the last-ever appearance of Chidi Ikpeamaeze and Rayne Fernandez in the franchise. Rayne from Española, New Mexico is a single mom and a chicken farmer. She introduced her blind boyfriend Chidi from Nigeria to fans in episode 1 and spoke about how she yearned to connect with him in person for the first time in five years. The 33-year-old Chidi from Lagos explained how he lost his eyesight in both of his eyes after a series of unfortunate incidents.
An apple had fallen on Chidi, blinding him when he was in school, and a disoriented Chidi fell and hurt his other eye on a table. Rayne believed she was destined to enter Chidi’s life. Rayne felt a connection with Chidi despite her wild spiritual beliefs in aliens and the Illuminati as opposed to those of Born-again Christian Chidi’s. Rayne called herself a “quirky weirdo” but proved that she was delusional when fans saw Rayne was always on the lookout for fights. Rayne was particularly upset with Chidi’s sister, Victoria, who was only making sure her brother was safe.
How Did Rayne Meet Chidi?
Is There Any Truth To Rayne’s Story?
Despite having welcomed two children with two different men, Rayne claimed she had never experienced romance at all. She had never been passionately kissed, never said “I love you” and never did any of the “fun stuff” in a relationship. She had given up on relationships and dating altogether. However, five years ago, the man of her dreams fell into her lap. Rayne was not looking for love online but instead wanted to make friends. She’d seen Chidi’s name as a friend suggestion and sent him a friend request.
“It just hit hard and deep,” Raybe added.
It had been just two weeks of talking between them when Rayne said “I love you” to Chidi. He was shy and started giggling and laughing before he said it back to her. They started dating as it became an everyday thing to send sweet messages to each other. Meanwhile, Chidi revealed he was afraid to tell Rayne he was blind when they met because he worried it would scare her away. Rayne eventually found out when she sent Chidi a photo of her booty and she didn’t get a response. He had to outright tell her he was blind.

Chidi thought Rayne would run away or not want him, but it had the opposite effect on her. Knowing Chidi had fallen for her words and heart without worrying about what her body looked like made Rayne feel accepted. It was something she had never experienced before. Chidi told the producers she was never proactively looking for a blind man. However, she was very conscious of how she looked. Even when she was intimate with someone, she would always leave her shirt on with the lights off. Chidi being blind was a “huge turn-on” for Rayne.

Disclosing his condition to Rayne had brought them closer. Chidi was not religious when he met Rayne, but over time, Chidi, who felt like his whole world had ended when he went blind, sought solace in God. Chidi had always been Christian by faith. He started praying day and night. Chidi believed that God helped him cope with his disability. He even thought God had blessed him when he sent Rayne to him. Chidi told the cameras when Rayne was coming to Nigeria, he didn’t tell her they wouldn’t be having sex.
“It’s something I couldn’t bear to tell her on phone, but I just hope she understands my commitment to God.”
Rayne did not appreciate Chidi not telling her about his no-sex-before-marriage rule. After dating for five years, Rayne wanted to be physically close to her boyfriend. Rayne was hurt and to her, it felt like Chidi was rejecting her. She urged him to leave his sister’s house and move to a hotel, but Chidi didn’t give in to Rayne’s requests. Rayne couldn’t trust Chidi’s sister as she believed Victoria was influencing Chidi and trying to hurt their relationship by checking on him all the time.

Immediately after Rayne raised suspicions about her relationship status with Chidi, the Nigerian man himself addressed the allegations that had come towards him and his family. Chidi spoke about why he was avoiding sleeping with Rayne. While it did have something to do with him being a born-again Christian, as per screenshots shared by Redditor Sunbearemii, Chidi shockingly revealed that he had told Rayne about his decision much before she came to visit him. Chidi said Rayne had reacted to his decision with “overwhelming anger” and threatened to cancel her visit.
Moreover, Chidi revealed some “unsettling, alien and mystic” things Rayne had said to him when they were together. She asked him if he was ready to be sacrificed. Rayne also wanted to know if Chidi was prepared to be in the same room as her when “vampires and cannibals” would gather for their feasts. Rayne told Chidi she could communicate with the dead, even his late father. She threatened to summon dark forces against him and his family. Chidi said he was taking precautions by making Rayne sleep in a different room. He wanted to “carefully observe” Rayne.

“But luckily we were both uninvited due to all the negativity.”
Rayne added that she found out about her being uninvited at the last minute. She seemed to be blaming 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days viewers for her not attending the Tell All. She claimed that it was “before all this hatred” towards her had started spilling out all over the internet.

The network has yet to confirm Rayne’s claims and Chidi has not said anything about it either.
