Kobe is bringing Emily with him to Cameroon in season 8 of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? for her first meeting with his family.

Even though there may have been disagreements between Kobe and Emily's families, the couple remains united and flourishing. Emily and Kobe continue to reside in her family home. However, in November 2023, Emily announced that she is expecting a baby.
