’90 Day Fiancé’: Armando and Kenny Reveal Their Shared Painful Pasts (Exclusive)

Armando and Kenny are opening up about bonding over tragedy. In this exclusive clip from Monday’s new episode of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, Armando breaks down in tears as he reflects on losing his unborn child at eight months.

Armando and Kenny are continuing to explore whether or not they want to have a baby together this season, with 34-year-old Armando being all for it while 60-year-old Kenny is hesitant due to his age. Kenny has already raised four now-adult children, while Armando is now raising his young daughter, Hannah, with Kenny. In this clip, Kenny says he and Armando first started talking in a gay fathers support group because they had both experienced child loss. Kenny lost twins at four months due to miscarriage, while Armando lost his unborn child when Hannah’s mother got into a car accident and died. She was eight months pregnant. Clearly, the loss is still incredibly painful as he breaks down in tears in front of Kenny and his mother when talking about it.

“Throughout the years I’ve spent time wondering who and what this child would have been, how the child would have interacted with me, with Hannah, the moments we would have had together,” he says. “We were ready for her birth. We had a name picked out. It was very hard to lose her and there’s no way of explaining the pain and the feelings.”

Meanwhile, Kenny reflects, “You know, you already start to love those children from the moment they’re conceived. So the thought of having another child could help heal those wounds and kind of fulfill something that never took place before.”

90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way airs Monday, 8 p.m. ET/PT on TLC and Discovery+.

’90 Day’: Armando Goes from ‘Over the Moon’ to ‘Heartbroken’ as Surrogacy Meeting Sparks Doubt in Kenny

60-year-old Kenny is unsure about having a child at his age, stating, “This child, I probably would never see their children”

90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way’s Armando and Kenny have seemingly reached an impasse regarding whether to expand their family.

Armando was set on having a baby together, but 60-year-old Kenny remained unsure about wanting to welcome a child whose life he most like would not witness in full. Monday night’s episode of the show saw their visit to a surrogacy agency, where both men were surprised to learn the process was within their budget.

“I’m over the moon, and I’m ready to have a child,” Armando told cameras after learning the affordability of the surrogacy route. He confirmed to Kenny that he “totally” wanted to move forward with the process — which would take between a year and a year and a half.

But after a heart-to-heart conversation, it was clear they weren’t aligned. When Armando asked his husband to be honest, Kenny admitted he did “go back and forth on it all.” Through tears, Kenny admitted the conversation had been weighing on his mind. “You know, it’s a lot … I’m thinking I’m too old for it.” He also explained that he didn’t know whether it was “right” to bring an infant into the world at his age.

He shared, “Thinking about a little baby, and thinking about if they’re 5 or they’re 6 or they’re 8 and something happening, because of the age I’m at, it’s something I have to think about. And it just hit me a lot.”

Kenny added in a confessional interview: “This child, I probably would never see their children. And this is what [Armando] is not understanding.”

 

Kenny was willing to consider the compromise of adopting an older child — but the couple had previously looked into adoption, and that route had proven challenging.

Though Kenny didn’t explicitly say “no,” Armando saw the conversation as a denial.

“I feel very misled because he was saying no, and he tries to twist it in his own way,” Armando said in a confessional. “Like ‘Oh, I’m not saying no, but let’s see still. I’m, in some ways, heartbroken because I’ve been very understanding, I think, of him.”

The day ended with tears from “heartbroken” Armando, who has been vocal about his dream of having another child. Armando has one grade school-aged daughter from a past relationship, and Kenny has grown children — but the pair had yet to welcome a child together. Now, it seemed they might never.
