[Shawn] Previously on Love in Paradise...
-Yes, I do the slurping-- -This is like, only kids do this.
-I don't want to waste food. -Don't do this.
I had really high expectations.
You get some points for eating fairly healthy.
And he didn't meet any of them.
But I still have strong feelings.
I don't know what it is. I just don't know.
I am so excited about see him, touch him, kiss him.
[speaking foreign language]
[Madelein screams]
[in English] On this trip, I need to come clean about my job,
and some other secrets that I have.
And I'm scared that, once I tell Madelein,
she could leave me.
He has a thing with bringing other women into our relationship.
That's a threesome.
Do you like that or no?
I don't want threesomes.
[Alliya speaking]
To look more feminine?
[Shawn] If Alliya wants to do the total and complete transition
can I live with that? Is that something I want?
I can't wrap my head around that.
[singing in foreign language]
[in English] It feels so good to be back.
I just landed in Colombia and seeing Madelein,
for the first time in four months is amazing.
She smells like wild flowers, my smile's from ear to ear,
and I feel so happy to see her.
I'm so proud of you, baby.
[speaking foreign language]
[in English] It's a beauty salon
where you could get your nails done, your lashes done, your makeup done.
[speaking foreign language]
[in English]
Baby, I love the sign.
But how do you spell "beauty"?
[speaking foreign language]
[in English] Do you think I'm stupid?
I know exactly how I spelled it.
Oh, my gosh! Yo, this is legit, baby.
Good stuff!
So, what is this?
-This is the lashes station. -Lashes station?
Yeah.
Okay. I love this.
Opening a beauty salon is never, ever something I thought I would do.
I agreed to it because It's Made's dream.
Cool. You got business cards as well.
And the plan was to fund it until it was profitable.
-This is like my office. -Your office?
-Yeah. -You look like a boss.
I'm terrified to tell Madelein that I lost my job.
And I've procrastinated having this conversation with Madelein,
because I don't know how she's gonna react.
So I know we've sunk ten grand into this business already.
On a month-to-month basis, what's our all-in cost?
[Madelein] Um...
Okay, so three million, I want to say is
750 bucks, 800 bucks, something like that?
How many clients do we need a month to make three million?
So 60-90 clients?
So how many clients, though, did we get in the first month?
[Madelein sighs]
This beauty salon needs to have about 90 clients
per month, in order to break even.
If we've only been averaging 20 clients per month,
it's going to take a miracle
for us to be able to get 90 clients and break even.
Do you think in three months we will be profitable?
[Luke] I don't like arguments.
I try and avoid conflict.
But the longer I put off telling her the gravity of my situation,
the longer I feel like I'm walking on eggshells.
I know you've been working your butt off,
and I'm so proud of you for that.
I hope so.
The reason I'm asking all of these questions right now,
is because I don't have a job anymore, baby.
How long ago did this happen?
-Last month. -So you lied to me for one month?
[speaking foreign language]
[in English] I wanted to have this conversation in person,
I only have two or three months of funds
to keep this, our rent and my taxes paid.
So I'm just concerned that if in three months' time,
we're not turning a profit,
how are we going to keep paying all the bills?
[Madelein speaking]
[continues in foreign language]
[continues in English]
Can I have already like a coffee?
-Yes. -Just black.
Yesterday, my boyfriend Kyle arrived in Malta
to meet me in person for the first time.
I'm really, really excited to see him.
But now that I met him, I don't know yet how it's going to be.
I mean, he's a sperm donor, for God's sake.
-Hey, you look sexy. -How's it going?
-You made it. -I did.
-How are you? You good? -I made it for you.
[Ani] Our first meet-up was a bit odd.
But since we dated online for seven months,
and the connection and feelings for Kyle are still there,
I would still give it a chance.
And I hope that today will be better.
-What kind of coffee is that? -It's a black coffee.
-Did you have sugar in it? -No sugar.
-That's good. -Yeah.
-Hello. -Oh, yes, thank you.
-Enjoy. -Thank you.
The reason I don't really drink coffee
is because excess coffee is bad for your sperm.
-So-- -I know that you're always trying to be healthy.
How many you take?
It's like 20 vitamins.
-Yeah, but then I-- -This is like insane every day
to take so much vitamins only for your sperm.
I'm not really 100% okay with him being a sperm donor,
but I can... tend to get bored easily by normal guys
because every day is so predictable.
While with a person like Kyle, it's more interesting.
Because you never know what's going to happen the next day.
So we will see where things lead us.
-So you think that's good? -Yeah.
-All right, we're going. -I'm gonna hold your hand
-because I'm such a gentleman. -That's so sweet.
There is five islands which make up the whole country Malta.
I'm living on the main island.
But I do believe that the most beautiful is Gozo.
So we are going to catch the ferry, jump on a jeep...
[Kyle] Oh, my God, that's a nice Jeep.
I hope when Kyle and me are going sightseeing today
that everything loosens up and we are just in a more relaxed place.
And talk about the future, what could potentially look like.
-[Kyle] Nice. -You like it?
-Yeah. Not not as much as I like you. -[Ani chuckles]
[bleep]
-I'm a warm person. -Warm-blooded.
Okay.
And while he's talking to me, I noticed Kyle continually
touches his balls or his penis.
I don't know. I haven't yet figured out really what it is.
A long time ago, I went to the--
My balls, adjusting my--
Because sitting down too much kills your sperm.
So I try to adjust them so they're not like so overheated.
Yeah, usually. I don't even wear boxers, I just wear shorts.
It's professional.
The longer you sit it heats up your balls and that kills your sperm.
-I have to, like readjust so... -[Ani] Oh!
-It doesn't kill the balls. -But don't touch it!
But there's too big--
-[Kyle] This is nice. Very romantic. -[Ani chuckles] Yes.
-Well, let me brush it for you. -Yes. I'll give you my brush.
So I go slow.
Right. Is that right? Nice and slow.
More harder?
Harder?
You like it hard? You like it very hard?
Very soothing.
-Yeah? -Yeah. It's therapeutic.
[Ani speaking]
So, now we're like having a quiet moment,
and I just wanted to bring it up, like,
I don't know where I stand right now with you.
-You know. -Mm-hmm.
You were like, "Oh, look, Ani, I want to find love."
-You know? -Mm-hmm.
Then, you started traveling to Australia,
but you were not talking with me about it.
Australia was just a great place to visit.
I was going there, low key.
I was just going there because I really wanted to sightsee.
And I showed you pictures.
Uh, you saw a lot of pictures.
I can see you getting really nervous with this topic.
I don't know what I did there.
What? You just answer me now.
-I just-- -Look into my eyes.
Did you have sex with another woman there?
-I don't know what I remember. -If you don't remember, that means yes.
If Kyle can't even be honest when I ask him a direct question,
then our problems are much bigger than the donation.
So... [groans]
I won't be in a relationship where I'm kept in the dark.
Yes or no. It's not that difficult.
I am almost there.
Almost there.
I just arrived in Italy, and I'm so excited to see Adriano.
I want to be married. I want to have kids.
And I'm hoping we can realize that's more important,
and fulfilling than threesomes will ever be.
Are you ready?
What do you think?
That's very form-fitting.
Right now I'm feeling a disconnect.
[chuckling] I know what life being married to a woman is,
and I haven't signed up for that.
I just arrived in Italy, and I'm so excited to see Adriano.
And now I've got to take the train from Naples to Salerno.
We haven't seen each other in four months,
so it's going to feel great to be in his arms again.
I know I'm gonna want to kiss them little dimples on his face, I can't wait.
He's gonna be so cute.
I am almost there.
Almost there.
There's so many great things I love about him.
He make me feel wanted, cared for, desired.
I think that's why every time Adriano brings up threesomes, it's disappointing.
I want to be married, I want to have kids,
and I'm hoping it's with him.
But he needs to knock it off with all that threesome stuff.
Because that's really what's hindering our relationship.
[Adriano speaking]
♪ We've got a chance now
♪ To change our lives
♪ It's been a while since I've shown my heart ♪
♪ Hard to live live without each other ♪
[Alex laughs]
Hi.
♪ Show me where you'll be tomorrow ♪
♪ And I'll be there, I'll be
[Alex] Me too.
I finally arrived. [chuckles] To my person.
You look so handsome.
Thank you.
[Adriano speaking]
[Alex laughs]
Oh, you bought me flowers!
Thank you.
I do believe this trip can take our relationship to the next level.
Every vision I have for my future includes Adriano.
And so I hope he can realize that we can have a beautiful life together,
and that's more important and fulfilling than threesomes will ever be.
Thank you.
[latin American music playing]
Yeah, I'd love it.
I just arrived in Brazil yesterday, to be with my partner, Alliya.
[Shawn] They have pineapple?
I see a pineapple.
[speaking foreign language]
[in English] Are you getting the same thing?
-[Alliya] Yeah. Pineapple. -[Shawn laughs] Copycat!
When I first got into this relationship three years ago,
Alliya was Douglas.
But we haven't seen each other for the last eight months.
And now Douglas is identifying full-time as Alliya.
That's good and it is strong.
I definitely feel that I have to fall in love with her again
and I'm hoping that that's possible.
So do you think if you're gonna get me drunk,
then I'm going to be buying you more stuff at the store?
Alliya wants me to take her shopping today,
and we haven't really done women shopping.
And I'm kind of nervous about what that's going to entail,
how that's gonna feel,
and what my involvement with that is going to be.
[Shawn] All right.
I like that.
[Shawn] Just a few things.
-No. -I want something with color.
Do you like?
No.
I never loved shopping as the way that I'm loving now.
-I'm gonna sit and you figure the rest of this out. -Okay.
And that makes me feel amazing.
[Shawn in a sing-song voice] How's it going?
[Shawn laughs]
Oh, my God. What do you think?
Wow, that's very... it's very form-fitting.
[Alliya] I love this one.
[Shawn] Yeah.
Yeah, it's pretty. Yeah.
[Alliya laughing]
Are you ready?
This is my life.
Hurry up and wait.
I've been exclusively dating men.
I mean, for a long, long time.
And I guess in this moment it's hitting me
that I'm in a relationship with a woman.
And I'm like the stereotypical husband whose wife is shopping,
and I'm stuck holding her purse,
bored out of my mind.
[chanting] Alliya! Alliya!
Alliya!
[Shawn] I was married to my ex-wife for 14 years.
I know what life being married to a woman is,
and I haven't signed up for that.
So, you know, one of the joys about dating men
has been T-shirts, jeans, no makeup, no hair.
Maybe some gel.
Maybe a shave, maybe not.
Off... off we go.
[chuckles] Yes!
[laughs]
[Shawn chuckles]
There you go.
[chuckles] Do you like?
Yeah.
[laughs] Are you trying to sell the shorts?
The moneymaker.
-[Alliya] Yeah. -[chuckles]
All right. Yeah.
And I will try one more.
[Shawn] All right.
Right now I'm feeling a disconnect between Douglas and Alliya.
[Shawn] Douglas has a personality that I love and adore.
Shy and sweet,
introverted, unsure,
and that kind of peaceful energy is...
a little more easier on me.
[Alliya speaking]
Very dramatic.
Alliya's way different than Douglas was.
[Alliya] And I feel like Alliya's fun and dynamic, and I love that.
But it's not something I'm sure or even know that I want to deal with
on a 24/7 basis.
No, no more.
[speaking foreign language]
[in English] So I'm struggling and trying to decide
if this is something I can sign up on
or if it's gonna rub me the wrong way.
We don't have any more money coming in.
This is real.
[Luke] I'm scared because I also have to tell Madelein
that this isn't my permanent move to Colombia.
I am absolutely dreading the [bleep] storm
that is about to rain down on me.
I don't have a job anymore, baby.
So I'm just concerned that if in three months' time,
we're not turning a profit,
how are we going to keep paying all the bills?
[Madelein speaking]
[Luke] I support you. I love you.
But we really need to make some [bleep] money
because we don't have any more money coming in.
This is real.
[Madelein speaking]
I'm sorry to drop that on you. You know, I know it's a lot,
but I know how much this business means to you,
and we're gonna try and figure it out.
[Madelein speaking]
[Luke] Right.
[Madelein speaking]
Because I am a very boss bitch.
[Luke groans]
I love you.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
[Luke] It's been four months since I've seen my girl.
I haven't had sex in four months,
so I'm hoping whatever she's doing,
it's something to do with sex.
[Luke] Madelein is the best lover I've ever had.
I'd say our sex life is extremely adventurous.
[knock on door]
[Luke] Knock, knock.
We have sex in public places sometimes.
We will [bleep] on the beach.
We'll [bleep] in public restrooms.
It's like, we'll... We'll [bleep] anywhere really.
Mamacita!
[Luke] Oh, my God. Let's go!
[speaking foreign language]
[grunts]
[Madelein in English] Ooh! What are you doing?
[Madelein speaking]
[laughs]
[laughing]
You don't have to tell me twice, baby.
[Luke] Madelein is my dream girl.
She's a princess. She's a queen.
And I'm thankful, telling her
that I don't have a job anymore
went as well as it did.
-[Luke] All right, baby. -[smooches]
But I'm gonna have to tell her that this isn't my permanent move to Colombia.
And knowing Madelein,
I don't think she's gonna be as understanding.
I am absolutely dreading the [bleep] storm that is about to rain down on me.
-[dog barks] -[door closes]
[panting]
It's so weird if you're in a relationship
to go somewhere and have sex with other woman.
If you want this to work out,
you have to just stop it now, you know.
[Kyle] Ani knew what she was getting into
when she contacted me, like she knew what I was about.
[Kyle] I don't know why it's a problem.
I don't know what I did there.
[Ani] Tell me right now.
Look into my eyes.
Did you have sex with another woman?
I don't know what I remember.
If you don't remember, that means yes.
[Ani] You know, even if you tell me, "Yes, Ani, I had natural insemination,"
I can't decide how I deal with that.
But in literally just ignoring my question
and letting me guess, it's even worse.
If he's lying to me and visiting Australia just to donate his sperm,
especially donating sperm through sex
and not through masturbation and cup donation,
can I trust him?
Um...
[waves crashing]
Yeah.
I've had, uh...
intercourse to get somebody pregnant in Australia.
She really, um... She was like...
It was just a single woman, and she wanted to get pregnant.
Uh, you know, she just wanted to...
She felt like that was the best way to do it.
And she was older.
And she didn't want to waste time.
-She was... She was desperate. -[Ani] Yeah, there is a lot of women
-who want to get pregnant. -She was very desperate.
-She was like... -I don't care if she was desperate, you know.
And obviously, she couldn't just do IVF, because...
Why? She didn't have money?
I, um... I think that it would cost too much
-and, um... yeah. -All right.
And so she, um... Yeah.
-So it was a very, very professional experience. -Mm-hm. Yeah.
It was like a procedure.
Like Doctor... Doctor...
Well, it was... It was a little bit.
My heart is racing right now 'cause I don't know how to react.
I think I have a much different relationship to sex.
When I have sex with someone, usually, it's to get pregnant
and it's more of professional. It's boring.
I don't view it as cheating at all.
It's a weird thing
if you're in a relationship to go somewhere and have sex with other women.
If we're deciding, okay, we want to be in a serious relationship,
I cannot do this, you know.
If you want this to work out with us,
you have to just stop it now, you know.
I feel like we have a really great connection.
I mean, that's what I feel.
-I don't know if it counts for you. -I feel it.
-[Ani] Do you feel it? All right. Okay. -Yeah.
So, and I think it would be such a pity if we waste our connection,
but I just need to think about this tonight.
That's because I'm quite hurt by what happened in Australia.
So let's see.
-[Ani] And then, we go from there. -Mm-hm. Mm-hm.
Donating sperm does make it hard for people to accept me
and be in a relationship with me.
But Ani knew what she was getting into
when she contacted me, like she knew what I was about.
[Kyle] And I've never told her I stopped donating.
I do want Ani to be happy, and I want to try everything I can to make her happy.
But donating sperm is the most important thing in my life.
And it's just difficult that she can't accept the core part of who I am.
[Ani] We have a lot of stuff to work on.
Why Australia is a no?
I need to feel like I'm in good hands while I'm out there.
Adriano and I have broken up twice
over his desires of threesomes.
But I'm afraid if I were to move to Australia,
he's gonna find somebody else that's into threesomes,
and I'm gonna be left by myself.
-[Adriano] You finally made it. -Yes.
I just landed in Italy a few hours ago
to see my boyfriend, Adriano.
I miss you.
I missed you, too.
And it feels great to be in his arms again.
[Adriano] Do you like this?
[Alex] Oh, it doesn't matter what you wear,
you're gonna look good in it.
It's like there's a rush of happiness and joy
comes through my body, and...
it just feels good.
I'm happy to be here with you.
I'm happy you're here.
[Adriano groans]
Honestly, I could just be here all night.
Just like this.
I'm hungry. We have to go to eat.
-[laughs] Okay. All right. -[Adriano] Okay.
-This is very beautiful. -Yeah?
It's like romantic.
[Alex giggles]
Are you sure you don't wanna stay in Italy?
Why? You want to stay in Italy?
I mean, if we're talking about, like, being together.
Mm-hm. Of course.
I think I'd much rather be in Italy
than Australia.
-[Adriano] Oh. -[Alex chuckles]
[Adriano] Over the last nine years I spent
a lot of time in Australia,
and...
I fell in love with it.
-That's for you. -[Alex] Thank you.
My dream is moving there permanently as soon as possible.
[speaking foreign language]
[waiter speaking foreign language]
[in English] Italy will be always my home country,
but it's very conservative.
In Australia, people are really open minded.
-Oh, that smells so good. -Ravioli.
This looks amazing.
[speaking foreign language]
[Adriano in English] I think a bigger life is waiting for me in Australia.
And I want Alex to come with me there, but she's not on board yet.
Mm...
-Do you like yours? -[Adriano] Hm.
Because I feel like Australia is not one of those places for me
where I can get back home easily.
You know, I need to feel like...
I'm going to be in good hands while I'm out there.
Like with the threesome thing.
But this is different when you're trying to move me a thousand miles away
from my friends and family.
Well, you went off and you found somebody else that was into it,
and then you texted me the next day and was like,
"Oh, uh, let's just be friends."
But still you did it.
You did it.
Adriano and I have broken up twice
over his desires of threesomes.
So I'm afraid once I move to Australia,
he's gonna find him somebody else that's into threesomes,
and I'm gonna be left by myself.
So what happens if I never agree to having a threesome?
It's definitely something I don't want in my life.
-Why? -I don't like it.
But I'm telling you, I don't want that for myself anymore.
[inhales deeply]
[exhales]
It's not going to happen.
When I was 28, I experienced my first threesome.
There was so much passion and there was so much pleasure.
Then since then, I wanted to involve threesome in all my relationship.
So when Alex told me that she was into threesome too,
it makes like a boom.
She's the one. She was gorgeous.
She was into threesome.
So I was like, "Oh, yes! That's it."
I'm done. I'm sold.
But now, she's changed her mind.
You have to understand what's important to you,
me or the threesomes?
Both?
[Alex] Clearly, you can't have both.
So you're gonna have to choose one.
Well...
Please don't do that.
It has been a long time.
[Adriano] I know.
[giggles]
[Alex] I don't want to fight with Adriano on our first night,
so we're tabling this conversation.
But Adriano is very persistent.
If he wants something,
he's not gonna let anything get in his way.
He's gonna hound you about it.
He's gonna continue to talk about it.
It makes me feel like he only cares about what he wants.
And not thinking about what I want
or even how I feel about it.
Cheers.
[Alex] But then, every time I'm back in his arms...
every time we get to kissing...
I melt.
And I forget what we was talking about.
[Alex] But on this trip...
But when it comes to threesomes,
I'm still not giving in.
[narrator] Next time on Love in Paradise...
Babe, I got glasses made.
-[gasps] -The prototypes came in.
I love it.
One of the many businesses that I'm trying to get up and running
is my sunglass line.
I just paid 11 grand
to get 300 made.
[Madelein speaking]
[Tiffany] I made it.
Hello, my little love muffin.
[Alex] My cousin Tiffany is traveling through Europe.
It's good to see you in person.
[Alex] And so she decided to make a stop in Italy.
Are you going to pray over this food?
You're an atheist?
[Alex] Having a relationship with God
is a big part of who I am,
and it is very important to my family.
[Tiffany] On a scale of one to ten,
how much does it bother you?
Ten.
Donating to woman and not stopping
is like you're almost addicted to it.
I'm not addicted.
Who are you like?
You're the savior of the world and you have to give all women babies?
I don't want my boyfriend to donate that.
I don't know what to say.
[Kyle] Let's say, right now, I'm trying to like...
[Ani] Oh, gosh, I don't know.
I have to stop this.
[Ani speaking]
I have an investment into the Douglas part of things
as well as the Alliya part.
I'm the same person that you met.
I also enjoyed and loved the quiet and the shy...
Douglas.
[Alliya speaking]
