Pedro Jimeno is officially engaged. The former '90 Day Fiancé' star proposed to his girlfriend, Valentina Malagon, in a romantic beachside ceremony on the island of Oahu in Hawaii on June 6 . After years of public relationship ups and downs, the TLC personality is ready to start a new chapter.
The announcement came as a surprise to many fans, as Jimeno had only recently introduced Malagon during the Season 5 Tell-All of '90 Day: The Single Life' . In an exclusive statement, the reality star described the proposal as a deeply meaningful milestone in his personal journey .
Jimeno shared his excitement with viewers through a video message, stating, "Me and Valentina, we got a big, big announcement to tell you because we are engaged! And we're going to get married." The heartfelt reveal quickly spread across social media platforms, generating buzz among franchise followers.
The proposal itself was a carefully orchestrated event. Jimeno told Malagon he was taking her to the best restaurant in Hawaii, but instead drove an hour to a secluded location. "She was pissed because she was hungry, but I got it done," he admitted with a laugh.
The beach setting featured a large heart-shaped arch made entirely of red roses, an illuminated sign reading "Will You Marry Me?" and candles encircling the couple on the sand . Jimeno presented his fiancée with a pear-shaped diamond engagement ring crafted by Diamondboi Designs .
A New Chapter After A Turbulent Past
Jimeno's journey to this engagement has been a public one. He first entered the '90 Day Fiancé' franchise in Season 4, moving from the Dominican Republic to the United States on a K-1 visa to marry Chantel Everett . Their rocky relationship became a franchise staple, spawning spin-offs including '90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?', '90 Day Fiancé: Self-Quarantined', and 'The Family Chantel' .
The couple's relationship ultimately ended in divorce, with Jimeno filing in late May 2022 after nearly six years of marriage . Everett has since moved on as well, coming out about her sexuality during '90 Day: Hunt for Love' and getting engaged to Ashley Bowen on December 17, 2025 .
Jimeno and Malagon's relationship began when she reached out to him on Instagram after seeing he was in Colombia . During the Tell-All special, Jimeno described her as "everything what I look for in a woman" and "the love of my life" .
Jimeno's sister Nicole expressed concerns during the Tell-All, questioning Malagon's lifestyle and travel photos . Despite the family drama, Jimeno appears committed to his new partner and their shared future.
A Heartfelt Message And Wedding Plans
In a lengthy social media message accompanying their announcement, Jimeno wrote to his fiancée: "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" . He continued: "With her, I learned that peace also 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" .
The couple has already begun discussing wedding plans, though they have yet to settle on a location. Malagon prefers Colombia, while Jimeno leans toward the Dominican Republic, with the United States remaining a possible option.
With a proposal now complete, wedding planning season could very well be in the couple's future. Whether they appear on the flagship series or '90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way,' fans of the franchise will likely be watching closely as Pedro Jimeno embarks on this next chapter of his life.
