The revelation was met with shock from the family members. While her best friend offered congratulations, she was visibly upset about not being told sooner.

Joanne and Sean Discuss Their Secret Marriage on 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way

Joanne and Sean are a fresh couple on the sixth season of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way. They dream of moving to Ireland together and initially wanted their friends and family to connect with each other before sharing their marriage news. Joanne aimed for her children and best friend to develop feelings for Sean before revealing their marriage, which came as a surprise. Sean’s daughter was also at the dinner and was initially resistant to the idea of their marriage.

Disappointment was evident on Joey’s face when he learned about his mother’s secret marriage to Sean. Speaking to the cameras, he remarked:

“I’m annoyed with her, because she does say, you know, you could tell me everything, you know, don’t don’t be afraid to tell me anything, and then she keeps it a secret for 2 years that they’re married. Like, alright.”

Jess, Joanne’s younger son, admitted to feeling confused after hearing the news. Sean thought the family would take the revelation positively, while his daughter said she was happy but not excited about it. Joanne reflected on the situation in an emotional moment, stating:

“Sean and I were so wrapped up in our own little world, in our own little bubble that neither one of us really thought about the fact that we may be hurting the people that we love the most by keeping the truth from them. We could have gone in a 1,000,000 different directions on how to tell them.”

She further conveyed her feelings:

“Seeing the look on everybody’s faces makes me realize this definitely hurt them the most. The kids are upset and confused, and that makes me feel like…”

Despite the awkwardness, Joey congratulated them in a tone reflecting his disappointment, leading Joanne to feel regret over not sharing the news sooner.

90 Day Fiance: The Other Way airs on TLC every Monday at 8 pm ET.
