90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way star Armando Rubio has recently shared a surprising update regarding his relationship with his father amidst speculation surrounding financial difficulties with his husband, Kenny Niedermeier. Armando, who hails from Mexico, faced a tragedy that led to the loss of both his wife and unborn child before he met Kenny through a gay dads’ support group. Both were single fathers who transitioned from friendship to romance, prompting Kenny to move his life to Mexico to be with Armando. Despite their desire to marry, Armando’s family, particularly his father, initially opposed the union.
Getting his father’s blessing for the wedding took a significant emotional toll on Armando, necessitating numerous heartfelt discussions and tears. Culturally, Armando felt compelled to embody a “macho man”persona, which added to the complexity of gaining his father’s approval.
The couple tied the knot in May 2021 and currently reside in Mexico City alongside Armando’s daughter, Hannah. They recently shared highlights from their New Year’s celebration, showcasing their joyful reunion with family in San Felipe, Baja California, as they welcomed 2025. Social media users, including brittyannecarmen, expressed admiration for their unity, with one comment stating, “This photo speaks volumes, so glad you guys have come together as one … especially his father.”
Understanding the Significance of Armando & Kenny’s Family Update
Lack of Initial Support from Armando’s Parents
Initially, Armando Sr. struggled to accept his son’s sexuality, but viewers witnessed significant character development throughout the seasons. By the end of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, he transformed into one of Armando’s staunchest advocates. Armando had proactively chosen to speak to his mother about his wedding plans before addressing his father, a testament to his complicated family dynamics.
Growing up in a family that enforced a culture of silence surrounding his sexuality was challenging for Armando, who had come out at a young age. During the show, he repeatably reintroduced his identity to his family, and though his parents did not initially embrace his relationship with Kenny, there has been remarkable progress. Their recent celebration as a united family starkly emphasizes the efforts Armando and Kenny made to validate their love. Armando Sr.’s happiness to see his son thriving in a loving environment is evident.
