Emily & Kobe’s Trip To Africa Is Engaging & Entertaining
Emily Is Learning So Much About Kobe & His Culture
It’s always entertaining when a spouse travels to meet their wife or husband’s family for the first time. Kobe and Emily’s trip to Cameroon on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? is larger than life because their two children and both of Emily’s parents joined them for the ride. Traveling anywhere with kids is tough, let alone navigating three sets of flights and flying around the globe. Oftentimes, 90 DayFiancé stars bring their parents along to help take care of the kids during travel days. Emily’s mother and father, Lisa and David Bieberly, are an engaging part of their appearance on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?.
Lisa and David aren’t just babysitters on their family trip to Cameroon. They’re present and engaged in every moment of the trip. Of course, it’s great to see them aid Emily and Kobe as they go through the stressors of traveling with kids. They also bring a unique perspective, offering their insight as parents throughout the episodes. Kobe has a real bond with Emily’s family, and this shines through on the spinoff. Sometimes, family relationships between parents and spouses can be broken and hard to watch. With Kobe and Emily, this is not the case.
Kobe & Emily Are Interested In Learning About Their Partner’s Culture
They Make The Effort To Learn About Each Other
Kobe and Emily have been such a successful couple because they’re interested in learning about each other’s cultures. Granted, Kobe moved to the United States, so he essentially had no choice but to adapt to American ideals. On the flip side, Kobe comes from a culture where women are submissive to men. Knowing this, Kobe softened his ways and adapted to American culture, where women are strong and dominant. Kobe has never really discussed Emily’s dominance as a problem, either. It’s often his friends who bring up this ideal while Kobe defends his relationship with Emily.
“I love Emily, and I don’t expect her to change.”
Emily, too, has made strides to embrace Kobe’s culture. Upon their first meeting with Kobe’s family, Emily’s entire family purchased and wore traditional Cameroon clothing to show their respect. Emily admitted that it didn’t feel 100% right for her to be wearing the clothes, and she was worried that Kobe’s family would think they were mocking their culture. Kobe said this was not the case, and they all went into the first meeting sporting traditional Cameroon fashions. Kobe and Emily come from completely different cultures, but they’re willing to compromise and learn, which has benefited their relationship.

Despite a rocky road in their initial season, Kobe formed a strong bond with Emily’s parents, especially her father, David. Kobe’s relationship with David was one of their redeeming moments as a couple on the show.

The spin-off series films past 90 DayFiancé personalities watching the latest seasons of the show.
