90 Day Fiancé Star Pedro Jimeno Is Engaged After Romantic Hawaii Proposal
90 Day Fiancé veteran Pedro Jimeno is engaged.
The TLC star proposed to his girlfriend, Valentina Malagon, on the island of Oahu in Hawaii on June 6, PEOPLE exclusively reveals.
“Today we’re not just celebrating a ‘yes.’ We’re celebrating the moment when two paths, two stories, and two dreams decided to become one forever,” Jimeno tells PEOPLE. “Valentina came into my life as an answer — a blessing that God placed on my path to show me that true love isn’t something you search for… it’s something you recognize.”
He continues, “With her, I learned that peace has a name, that home can live in a single look, and that the future is built hand in hand with the person who lifts you up, honors you, and loves you with truth.”

Just steps away from the ocean, Jimeno proposed to Malagon on bended knee in front of a large heart-shaped arch made entirely of red roses. In the center of the romantic display was an illuminated sign that read, “Will You Marry Me?” Red roses and candles also encircled the couple on the sand.
The groom-to-be presented Malagon with a bouquet of red roses and a pear-shaped diamond engagement ring that he kept in a heart-shaped box. The ring was handcrafted by Diamondboi Designs.
“Today, our greatest story begins: a story of faith, purpose, and a love that never gives up,” Jimeno says. “Thank you, my love, for choosing this journey with me. What’s coming will be even more beautiful than what we’ve dreamed… because with you, every day I become a better man. I love you.”
Their rocky relationship quickly became a franchise favorite, continuing on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, 90 Day Fiancé: Self-Quarantined, and the spin-off The Family Chantel. By the end of the reality series, Jimeno officially filed for divorce from Everett in late May 2022, following nearly six years of marriage.
Like Jimeno, Everett also went on to find true love. She came out about her sexuality last year during 90 Day: Hunt for Love and got engaged to Ashley Bowen on Dec. 17, 2025, in Helen, Ga.
