Benjamin and Akinyi became part of 90 Day Fiance due to Before the 90 Days. They had quite a journey after meeting online and falling in love. The former had to fly to Kenya and get approval from the latter’s parents to marry their daughter. At first, they wanted to just get engaged, but after finalizing the bride price, Benjamin also got permission to marry Akinyi.
Yet, they decided not to hold the ceremony in Kenya. That’s because Benjamin, being a single dad, had his son in the US, and he had not yet met Akinyi. Finally, the couple came to America and finally tied the knot after the pandemic lockdown. After being together for 3 years, they still haven’t expanded their family. But they finally spoke up on this matter recently.

There was also news in 2022 about Benjamin and Akinyi struggling a lot financially and working multiple jobs to make ends meet. But now that they are in a much better zone, they are dealing with yet another problem. In a new YouTube video, the couple got very vulnerable. It’s because they shared heartbreaking details about their infertility journey.

After trying to conceive for a while and failing, it hasn’t been easy for them to address this matter. While they are still not sure if they will take the IVF route or not, they assured 90 Day Fiance viewers that they would keep them in the loop if that happened.

Akinyi and Benjamin didn’t seem promising at the beginning of 90 Day Fiance. But as the season ended, they beautifully proved the audience wrong by showcasing their love and commitment to one another. The couple was very active on social media at one point. In July 2021, Akinyi posted a picture of a test that looked like a pregnancy test.
Shockingly, it had a smiley face on it. Viewers began to assume that she must be pregnant. But Akinyi soon cleared all doubts by revealing it was just an “ovulation test.” Hence, they have been trying to conceive since 2021 and have had no luck in the last three years.
