1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,172
Previously on
Love in Paradise.
2
00:00:02,172 --> 00:00:04,172
If we're talking
about moving forward,
3
00:00:04,172 --> 00:00:05,689
you're gonna have black kids.
4
00:00:06,586 --> 00:00:09,413
What if my little girl
come home from school,
5
00:00:09,413 --> 00:00:11,931
and someone told her
she looked different?
6
00:00:11,931 --> 00:00:13,517
You tell me to suck it up.
7
00:00:13,517 --> 00:00:18,000
He needs to try to be a little
bit more understanding
8
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,241
towards the Black experience.
9
00:00:23,586 --> 00:00:25,379
I don't have
any money coming in.
10
00:00:25,379 --> 00:00:28,000
I don't know
if this time is the trip
11
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,689
that I fully move here.
12
00:00:40,827 --> 00:00:45,379
I have an investment
into the quiet and the shy,
kind of scared...
13
00:00:54,482 --> 00:00:57,724
Donating to women
and not stopping
14
00:00:57,724 --> 00:00:59,793
is like you're almost
addicted to it.
15
00:00:59,793 --> 00:01:01,000
I'm not addicted.
16
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,068
I don't want my boyfriend
to donate.
17
00:01:03,068 --> 00:01:05,517
I don't know what to say.
I'm trying to, like...
18
00:01:05,517 --> 00:01:08,482
Oh, gosh. I don't know.
I have to stop this.
19
00:01:37,379 --> 00:01:39,379
When Madelein's
upset with me,
20
00:01:39,379 --> 00:01:40,620
she kind of shuts down.
21
00:01:40,620 --> 00:01:42,827
She can ignore me.
22
00:01:42,827 --> 00:01:45,275
She gets in these moods.
23
00:01:45,275 --> 00:01:48,103
She's been sulking
ever since I told her that
24
00:01:48,103 --> 00:01:51,931
this trip is not my permanent
move to Colombia.
25
00:01:51,931 --> 00:01:54,137
Okay, I'm leaving.
26
00:01:56,689 --> 00:01:59,379
I think I need to
give Madelein her space.
27
00:01:59,379 --> 00:02:03,068
So, I'm gonna go meet up
with my buddy Brian
for drinks.
28
00:02:11,724 --> 00:02:14,689
- Papi! How's it going?
- Buddy, how you doin'?
29
00:02:14,689 --> 00:02:16,689
- Nice to see you.
- You too, man.
30
00:02:16,689 --> 00:02:18,379
- How you been?
- Good. Good.
31
00:02:18,379 --> 00:02:20,620
I met Brian
through Madelein.
32
00:02:20,620 --> 00:02:23,793
She is best friends
with Brian's wife, Vale.
33
00:02:23,793 --> 00:02:26,827
Brian's American,
he's an entrepreneur,
34
00:02:26,827 --> 00:02:28,896
so we have a lot in common.
35
00:02:28,896 --> 00:02:33,103
And he's supportive
of my sunglasses line
36
00:02:33,103 --> 00:02:35,103
and other businesses
that I'm working on.
37
00:02:35,103 --> 00:02:36,586
Cheers.
38
00:02:36,586 --> 00:02:38,275
I got you something.
39
00:02:38,275 --> 00:02:40,275
Oh, that's
the prototype of the glasses?
Yeah.
40
00:02:40,275 --> 00:02:42,379
I like that they have
some weight to it.
41
00:02:42,379 --> 00:02:44,172
You can tell
it's good quality.
Yeah.
42
00:02:44,172 --> 00:02:46,482
So I just paid
to get 300 made.
43
00:02:46,482 --> 00:02:51,379
Bad news is, I paid for it
with my 401K funds.
44
00:02:51,379 --> 00:02:55,896
How much of your 401K did you
take out for the glasses?
Um...
45
00:02:55,896 --> 00:02:59,137
We just spent 10,650 bucks.
46
00:03:00,275 --> 00:03:02,103
Didn't talk to
Madelein about it,
47
00:03:02,103 --> 00:03:04,310
caused some problems today.
48
00:03:04,310 --> 00:03:05,793
Why was Madelein mad?
49
00:03:05,793 --> 00:03:08,103
I didn't tell her that I spent
the money on the glasses,
50
00:03:08,103 --> 00:03:10,379
and I didn't tell her
about my job.
51
00:03:10,379 --> 00:03:13,275
You know, I was scared
to have those conversations
52
00:03:13,275 --> 00:03:15,620
'cause I didn't know
how she'd react.
53
00:03:15,620 --> 00:03:19,586
But it feels like you're
worried about the money more
54
00:03:19,586 --> 00:03:21,620
because of what
she might think.
55
00:03:21,620 --> 00:03:23,724
So, do you think
if you have no money
56
00:03:23,724 --> 00:03:26,586
or if you're not providing
that the relationship
won't work?
57
00:03:27,827 --> 00:03:29,275
Look, I love the girl.
58
00:03:29,275 --> 00:03:31,206
Could things be better?
Absolutely.
59
00:03:31,206 --> 00:03:34,965
But I feel that she's not
in it for the money.
60
00:03:36,586 --> 00:03:39,241
I just want you to be
honest with yourself.
61
00:03:41,275 --> 00:03:44,379
Luke says that
he doesn't think
62
00:03:44,379 --> 00:03:46,689
that Madelein is in it
for the money.
63
00:03:46,689 --> 00:03:51,068
But I don't think
he's being honest.
64
00:03:51,068 --> 00:03:53,724
He's afraid to have money
conversations with her.
65
00:03:53,724 --> 00:03:58,379
He's afraid to admit that
he no longer has his
six-figure job.
66
00:03:58,379 --> 00:04:01,793
So, I think he's afraid
that she's gonna leave him.
67
00:04:01,793 --> 00:04:05,310
He doesn't want to
see the truth.
68
00:04:05,310 --> 00:04:07,689
What you are explaining to me
69
00:04:07,689 --> 00:04:11,068
seems like a relationship
that has problems.
70
00:04:11,896 --> 00:04:14,000
I'm no one to tell you
71
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,000
who to be with
or who not to be with.
72
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,000
But if you're gonna
get married,
73
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,793
you get a bulletproof prenup
that protects your assets.
74
00:04:24,793 --> 00:04:27,241
Have you had that
conversation with her?
75
00:04:29,689 --> 00:04:31,000
No.
76
00:04:31,793 --> 00:04:34,275
Even though I'm cash poor
right now,
77
00:04:34,275 --> 00:04:35,896
I still have a lot to lose.
78
00:04:35,896 --> 00:04:39,793
While Madelein lives
in an apartment that
I rented for us,
79
00:04:39,793 --> 00:04:42,482
I own an apartment
in another building.
80
00:04:42,482 --> 00:04:44,689
That is an investment
property.
81
00:04:44,689 --> 00:04:49,482
I paid $300,000 for it,
and I rent it out to tourists.
82
00:04:49,482 --> 00:04:52,379
Everything that I've worked
for has gone into
this apartment,
83
00:04:52,379 --> 00:04:55,172
and I don't wanna see that
go away for nothing.
84
00:04:55,172 --> 00:04:58,034
I will get a prenup
before I get married.
85
00:04:59,068 --> 00:05:01,793
What you're saying makes
a hell of a lot of sense.
86
00:05:01,793 --> 00:05:06,068
So, I think I gotta
mentally collect myself
87
00:05:06,068 --> 00:05:07,724
and not be a little bitch
88
00:05:07,724 --> 00:05:10,689
and go have these hard
conversations with Madelein.
89
00:05:10,689 --> 00:05:13,517
Because of Maddie's age,
90
00:05:13,517 --> 00:05:17,379
or her temper,
or just how stubborn she is,
91
00:05:17,379 --> 00:05:21,379
oftentimes, I'll think twice
about bringing anything up
92
00:05:21,379 --> 00:05:23,896
just because
her first reaction
93
00:05:23,896 --> 00:05:26,275
is oftentimes very explosive.
94
00:05:26,275 --> 00:05:28,896
If she really loves you,
she'll sign it.
95
00:05:30,896 --> 00:05:32,344
Or no wedding.
96
00:05:36,206 --> 00:05:37,482
Yeah.
97
00:05:37,482 --> 00:05:41,275
I know I have to come clean
about wanting a prenup.
98
00:05:41,275 --> 00:05:44,275
I just don't know
how many more truth bombs
99
00:05:44,275 --> 00:05:46,379
our relationship can take.
100
00:05:46,379 --> 00:05:49,931
It's your money
and you've worked hard for it.
101
00:05:49,931 --> 00:05:54,413
Take control of your own life
and not have a 19-year-old
102
00:05:54,413 --> 00:05:58,241
dictate how you spend
your money and what you do.
103
00:06:29,379 --> 00:06:32,172
that he never can
give me clear answers.
104
00:06:33,827 --> 00:06:37,793
I can't understand
why he can't clearly say,
"You know what?
105
00:06:37,793 --> 00:06:40,379
I will stop donating for you
because I love you."
106
00:06:40,379 --> 00:06:41,793
You know? That's what you do.
107
00:06:41,793 --> 00:06:44,172
If you love someone,
you just go and sacrifice.
108
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,206
Where is she?
109
00:06:46,206 --> 00:06:48,896
You know, I like him
and it's different now,
110
00:06:48,896 --> 00:06:51,482
if you start really having
feelings for someone,
111
00:06:51,482 --> 00:06:56,241
and then you're realizing
you have this huge obstacle
in front to overcome.
112
00:06:57,896 --> 00:07:01,000
I think
in a perfect world,
she would just accept me.
113
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,172
"If you're honest,
you're trustworthy,
114
00:07:03,172 --> 00:07:06,344
and you talk to me about it,
then it's fine donating."
115
00:07:10,896 --> 00:07:12,689
Okay, Kyle, I'm back.
116
00:07:12,689 --> 00:07:15,275
- Yeah, it was intense.
- I'm sorry...
117
00:07:15,275 --> 00:07:16,896
Yes, I'm sorry...
118
00:07:22,517 --> 00:07:24,793
Usually,
I wouldn't start crying.
119
00:07:24,793 --> 00:07:29,000
I just feel like
everything got too much
120
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,965
because I know
that you're still doing
the donation stuff, you know?
121
00:07:34,689 --> 00:07:37,482
But now I still have
these emotions for you,
122
00:07:37,482 --> 00:07:41,068
so I feel like
it's getting more deeper.
123
00:07:42,206 --> 00:07:44,068
Yeah.
I know.
124
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,793
It hurts that something
that I love so much
as sperm donation
125
00:07:49,793 --> 00:07:51,931
is hurting Ani 'cause
I don't wanna see her cry.
126
00:07:51,931 --> 00:07:53,206
I want her to be happy,
127
00:07:53,206 --> 00:07:55,482
and I am willing to make
some compromises, though.
128
00:07:55,482 --> 00:07:57,827
Maybe Ani gets to choose
who I donate to.
129
00:07:57,827 --> 00:08:00,931
There are things
I am willing to compromise on.
130
00:08:00,931 --> 00:08:04,586
I just feel like,
completely just,
giving up donating
131
00:08:04,586 --> 00:08:06,724
forever would just be
very difficult.
132
00:08:06,724 --> 00:08:09,793
Well, I think about us and,
you know, like, I wonder,
133
00:08:09,793 --> 00:08:13,000
"Oh, my God. How are we
going to make that work?"
134
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,586
I know. I know.
135
00:08:15,586 --> 00:08:17,310
Oh, God, Kyle, I'm so sorry.
136
00:08:17,310 --> 00:08:19,241
I don't wanna cry
in front of you.
137
00:08:20,517 --> 00:08:22,586
All right, now you're
making me cry.
138
00:08:23,379 --> 00:08:25,827
I see
so much potential in Kyle
139
00:08:25,827 --> 00:08:29,413
and what we could make
out of this relationship.
140
00:08:29,413 --> 00:08:32,379
But I have to choose.
141
00:08:32,379 --> 00:08:35,206
If I continue to be
with the man I love
142
00:08:35,206 --> 00:08:39,793
and sacrifice my feelings
and core beliefs,
143
00:08:39,793 --> 00:08:42,586
or I walk out of this.
144
00:08:42,586 --> 00:08:45,931
But it's a very hard decision,
145
00:08:45,931 --> 00:08:48,793
if you love someone,
to walk away from them.
146
00:08:48,793 --> 00:08:52,206
I just don't want to get hurt
147
00:08:52,206 --> 00:08:54,793
by this experience with you.
148
00:08:54,793 --> 00:08:56,241
Okay.
149
00:09:00,172 --> 00:09:01,689
Jackie is my friend.
150
00:09:01,689 --> 00:09:05,793
This is the first time that
she's seeing me as Alliya
in person.
151
00:09:05,793 --> 00:09:08,931
So happy you're becoming
who you wanna be.
I love it for you.
152
00:09:08,931 --> 00:09:11,517
Shawn said that
he was missing Douglas.
153
00:09:11,517 --> 00:09:14,000
Like, is he still gonna love,
like, Alliya?
154
00:09:19,413 --> 00:09:22,000
Do you think
it's really love?
It's tough.
155
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,896
I think I am trying to
make this relationship work
156
00:09:24,896 --> 00:09:26,482
because I'm getting older.
157
00:09:26,482 --> 00:09:28,275
But you do know
if you keep spending time
158
00:09:28,275 --> 00:09:30,310
with the wrong person,
the right person won't come?
159
00:09:30,310 --> 00:09:34,137
He has to love her.
And if he's not doing that,
I don't like him.
160
00:10:07,103 --> 00:10:10,586
- Hey.
- Oh, my God!
It's so good to see you.
161
00:10:10,586 --> 00:10:12,413
I missed you so much.
162
00:10:12,413 --> 00:10:14,000
You look beautiful.
163
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,206
- I love your hair.
- Really?
164
00:10:16,206 --> 00:10:18,482
Shawn gave to me
a lot of hair.
165
00:10:18,482 --> 00:10:19,931
- Go ahead, Shawn.
- It's pretty.
166
00:10:19,931 --> 00:10:21,379
Jackie is my friend.
167
00:10:21,379 --> 00:10:23,241
We met each other
two years ago
168
00:10:27,413 --> 00:10:30,275
I'm so excited to bring you
to this island.
169
00:10:30,275 --> 00:10:31,482
Me too--
Ah!
170
00:10:31,482 --> 00:10:33,000
- Oh!
- My hair.
171
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,689
Your hair is too big.
172
00:10:35,689 --> 00:10:39,275
I'm so excited
that she's here because
I'm turning 25
173
00:10:39,275 --> 00:10:42,689
this week, and Shawn
is giving me a birthday party.
174
00:10:42,689 --> 00:10:46,931
How do you deal with
long hair in this boat?
It's crazy.
175
00:10:46,931 --> 00:10:50,689
You'll get used to it.
It's a whole new world.
176
00:10:50,689 --> 00:10:53,275
Jackie has been seeing me
as Alliya by video call,
177
00:10:53,275 --> 00:10:58,931
but this is the first time
that she's seeing me
as Alliya in person.
178
00:10:58,931 --> 00:11:02,172
I'm feeling, like, complete
and, like, amazing.
179
00:11:02,172 --> 00:11:04,758
My life is getting
better always.
180
00:11:04,758 --> 00:11:07,482
Aw, so happy you're becoming
who you wanna be.
181
00:11:07,482 --> 00:11:08,586
I love it for you.
182
00:11:08,586 --> 00:11:10,793
You're nice, thank you.
Yeah.
183
00:11:10,793 --> 00:11:13,172
When I first met Alliya,
she was Douglas,
184
00:11:13,172 --> 00:11:16,310
and she had
a very good energy.
185
00:11:16,310 --> 00:11:18,379
But you could also tell
she was really, like,
186
00:11:18,379 --> 00:11:20,689
sad and quiet and shy.
187
00:11:20,689 --> 00:11:23,586
So, are you going to go by,
like, she?
188
00:11:23,586 --> 00:11:25,827
- Yeah. She and her.
- And her? Yes! Okay, good.
189
00:11:29,103 --> 00:11:31,379
Yeah, yeah.
190
00:11:31,379 --> 00:11:34,896
Alliya seems like
an entirely new person to me.
191
00:11:34,896 --> 00:11:37,275
She looks happier, like,
there's a different glow,
192
00:11:37,275 --> 00:11:41,000
or like, energy to her,
and it definitely suits her.
193
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,758
What about Shawn?
Like, does he call you Alliya?
194
00:11:43,758 --> 00:11:45,586
- Like, what is he...
- He's calling me Alliya.
195
00:11:45,586 --> 00:11:46,689
- Yay, okay.
- Yeah.
196
00:11:49,379 --> 00:11:50,896
And...
197
00:12:04,758 --> 00:12:10,000
Those are, like,
qualities that are easily
manipulated type of qualities.
198
00:12:11,413 --> 00:12:13,275
He could have a fear
of you becoming
199
00:12:13,275 --> 00:12:17,068
more strong and powerful
and not need him at all.
200
00:12:17,068 --> 00:12:20,068
Like, is he still gonna love,
like, Alliya
201
00:12:20,068 --> 00:12:22,482
because you're not timid
and scared anymore?
202
00:12:22,482 --> 00:12:24,379
I think it's a concern.
203
00:12:28,620 --> 00:12:30,758
You good? Yes.
Yeah.
204
00:12:30,758 --> 00:12:34,241
Because I can be myself
and I can be free.
205
00:12:35,275 --> 00:12:38,793
- I put my jacket on
because I'm feeling cold.
- Yes.
206
00:12:38,793 --> 00:12:42,275
But I'm afraid that
Shawn will never love me
207
00:12:42,275 --> 00:12:44,793
the way that he loves Douglas.
208
00:12:44,793 --> 00:12:46,517
Thank you.
209
00:12:46,517 --> 00:12:48,482
Oh.
210
00:12:48,482 --> 00:12:51,000
So, I think you look amazing.
Like, your hair looks great.
211
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,172
- Your makeup,
your lashes, everything.
- Thank you.
212
00:12:53,172 --> 00:12:54,517
I love it.
213
00:12:54,517 --> 00:12:56,758
But are you thinking maybe
anything more permanent,
214
00:12:56,758 --> 00:12:59,413
- like, surgery or...
- Oh, yeah, I think so.
215
00:12:59,413 --> 00:13:03,586
I think I'm gonna take off
the fat off my belly
and put on my butt,
216
00:13:03,586 --> 00:13:06,379
and make it
more round and big.
Yeah, okay.
217
00:13:06,379 --> 00:13:08,206
Have you told Shawn
that you wanna do that?
218
00:13:08,206 --> 00:13:11,206
Yeah, I told him.
I mean, I think he
don't like that
219
00:13:11,206 --> 00:13:14,655
because I like the thin waist
and, like, the curves.
220
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,586
So what if he says,
"I don't want you to do this?"
221
00:13:25,586 --> 00:13:29,689
He can say his opinion,
but I need to choose that
222
00:13:29,689 --> 00:13:33,172
'cause I wanna wake up
every day and feel happy.
223
00:13:33,172 --> 00:13:34,172
Right.
224
00:13:58,068 --> 00:14:00,689
I think I came so far
225
00:14:00,689 --> 00:14:03,068
that I don't wanna go back.
226
00:14:03,068 --> 00:14:06,103
Yeah, 'cause you
need to be happy.
Yes.
227
00:14:06,103 --> 00:14:10,689
My love for myself needs to be
more than my love for Shawn.
228
00:14:10,689 --> 00:14:11,862
Right.
229
00:14:36,862 --> 00:14:40,103
I have been in Italy
for a week with my
boyfriend, Adriano,
230
00:14:40,103 --> 00:14:42,793
and it's just been
very overwhelming.
231
00:14:42,793 --> 00:14:45,482
We've been arguing
about religion,
232
00:14:45,482 --> 00:14:48,586
where we're gonna live, threesomes.
233
00:14:48,586 --> 00:14:51,310
So, I need some girl time.
234
00:14:51,310 --> 00:14:53,379
Good morning.
235
00:14:53,379 --> 00:14:55,379
All right, let's get it going.
236
00:14:55,379 --> 00:14:58,068
- Yes, I'm excited.
- Ah, I'm excited! Yes!
237
00:14:58,068 --> 00:15:00,793
Southern Italy is known
for its ceramics,
238
00:15:00,793 --> 00:15:03,896
so I'm excited that
my cousin, Tiffaney,
239
00:15:03,896 --> 00:15:06,793
is meeting me
to make some pottery.
240
00:15:06,793 --> 00:15:09,896
Good morning. Welcome.
Ciao.
241
00:15:09,896 --> 00:15:12,206
Okay, do you want start
with our class?
242
00:15:12,206 --> 00:15:14,103
Yes.
- Yes, ma'am.
243
00:15:14,103 --> 00:15:16,000
Probably should have wore
something a little different
244
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,275
'cause it looks like
we're about to get dirty.
245
00:15:18,275 --> 00:15:20,862
Okay. You can sit.
246
00:15:20,862 --> 00:15:23,586
Put your forearms
on pottery wheel.
247
00:15:23,586 --> 00:15:25,275
Your weight on your forearms.
248
00:15:25,275 --> 00:15:26,793
Oh, okay.
249
00:15:26,793 --> 00:15:29,965
Cross your fingers
in this way, thumbs toward up.
250
00:15:31,172 --> 00:15:33,206
Oh, oh,
I think I broke it.
251
00:15:36,206 --> 00:15:38,586
The clay was, like,
sitting in my hand,
252
00:15:38,586 --> 00:15:41,172
and it was twirling into
something that looked
253
00:15:41,172 --> 00:15:43,379
very familiar.
254
00:15:43,379 --> 00:15:45,379
Oh, okay.
255
00:15:45,379 --> 00:15:48,793
Um, and I really didn't know
what to do.
256
00:15:48,793 --> 00:15:51,379
Ah! No, no.
I don't know, it just...
257
00:15:51,379 --> 00:15:53,793
I didn't know
clay could be that...
258
00:15:53,793 --> 00:15:57,586
I didn't know it could,
it could be that freaky.
259
00:16:00,068 --> 00:16:02,896
I don't think this is
supposed to...
260
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,862
Squeeze it...
261
00:16:06,862 --> 00:16:09,000
Oh, oh, oh.
262
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,241
I don't think that was right.
263
00:16:10,241 --> 00:16:13,379
- Okay, push down.
We need an hole in the middle.
- Okay.
264
00:16:13,379 --> 00:16:16,896
Oh, okay. Ah, my hair!
265
00:16:16,896 --> 00:16:20,000
Why did you
wanted to do this?
266
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,931
I don't know. I don't know.
"I don't..."
267
00:16:21,931 --> 00:16:24,517
It was a epic fail,
and I think the lady
was just like,
268
00:16:24,517 --> 00:16:27,793
"You know what?
Y'all suck, and get out."
269
00:16:27,793 --> 00:16:29,379
That's what she
wanted to say to us,
270
00:16:29,379 --> 00:16:30,931
but she couldn't say that.
271
00:16:30,931 --> 00:16:33,172
Oh,
I think mine's broke.
272
00:16:33,172 --> 00:16:35,620
Okay, this is not
working out for me.
273
00:16:35,620 --> 00:16:37,827
Just a moment.
274
00:16:38,379 --> 00:16:40,000
Okay.
275
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,620
This was some freaky stuff.
Mmm-hmm.
276
00:16:42,620 --> 00:16:45,689
Speaking of freaks,
how was Fabio?
277
00:16:45,689 --> 00:16:50,586
So, we went to this
pizza-making place.
278
00:16:50,586 --> 00:16:52,275
We had a great time,
279
00:16:52,275 --> 00:16:55,034
but then again,
religion came up.
280
00:16:55,931 --> 00:16:58,275
It's because you did
bring up a good point.
281
00:16:58,275 --> 00:17:00,068
Religion is important for me,
282
00:17:00,068 --> 00:17:02,103
and it's important for
my family as well.
283
00:17:02,103 --> 00:17:06,413
So, I was hurt by the fact
284
00:17:06,413 --> 00:17:10,000
that he couldn't
understand that about me.
285
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,586
Mmm-hmm.
And how we're gonna
raise kids came up
286
00:17:13,586 --> 00:17:17,000
since they are
gonna be mixed race.
Mmm-hmm.
287
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,689
So in the past,
288
00:17:19,689 --> 00:17:22,310
when I told him my experiences
289
00:17:22,310 --> 00:17:24,689
of being a Black woman
in America,
290
00:17:24,689 --> 00:17:27,551
basically he told me
to suck it up.
291
00:17:30,068 --> 00:17:31,965
And that hurt me.
292
00:17:33,482 --> 00:17:35,482
It definitely
bothered me.
293
00:17:35,482 --> 00:17:38,896
I guess we can't
expect everybody to respond
294
00:17:38,896 --> 00:17:41,586
how we want them to
in the moment.
295
00:17:41,586 --> 00:17:44,586
But I just kind of feel like
296
00:17:44,586 --> 00:17:45,862
he doesn't care,
297
00:17:45,862 --> 00:17:49,172
'cause it also tells you
how he's gonna be long term
298
00:17:49,172 --> 00:17:51,000
in a relationship
and in a marriage.
299
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,379
He has to love her,
he has to wipe her tears away,
300
00:17:53,379 --> 00:17:54,620
kiss her tears away.
301
00:17:54,620 --> 00:17:57,448
And if he's not doing that,
I don't like him.
302
00:17:59,103 --> 00:18:03,379
Do you think
you're just kind of liking
the lust of it, the fun of it?
303
00:18:03,379 --> 00:18:05,275
Or do you think
it's really love?
304
00:18:09,103 --> 00:18:11,482
I do believe that
it's really love,
305
00:18:11,482 --> 00:18:14,586
but we are in this cute
little honeymoon phase.
306
00:18:14,586 --> 00:18:17,000
- It is cute.
- It's fun, we're enjoying
each other.
307
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,000
But are you, though?
Are you really enjoying it?
308
00:18:22,689 --> 00:18:25,068
It's tough.
Okay.
309
00:18:25,068 --> 00:18:29,586
It's tough, but I know with
tough times comes good times,
310
00:18:29,586 --> 00:18:33,482
- so we'll get out of
that eventually.
- Mmm.
311
00:18:33,482 --> 00:18:35,482
Do you feel like
you have to give it a chance?
312
00:18:35,482 --> 00:18:38,310
Maybe you're trying to make
this relationship work
313
00:18:38,310 --> 00:18:43,689
because of whatever
you may be feeling?
314
00:18:43,689 --> 00:18:47,103
To be honest,
I think I am trying to
315
00:18:47,103 --> 00:18:50,000
make this relationship work
because I'm getting older.
316
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,000
I just turned 30,
and so the thought of,
317
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,758
"I'm supposed to have kids,
supposed to be married
before 30,"
318
00:18:55,758 --> 00:18:58,758
and none of those things
have happened.
319
00:19:00,068 --> 00:19:01,758
You do know
if you keep spending time
320
00:19:01,758 --> 00:19:03,862
with the wrong person,
the right person won't come?
321
00:19:05,379 --> 00:19:09,000
You have plenty of time
in order to get married
322
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,310
and have kids and be all happy
without the threesomes.
323
00:19:13,310 --> 00:19:16,344
Without the issues
of religion.
Mmm-hmm.
324
00:19:17,482 --> 00:19:20,206
I expected my life
to look a lot different.
325
00:19:20,206 --> 00:19:24,000
I wanted to have kids,
get married.
326
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,103
And not having
all that right now
327
00:19:27,103 --> 00:19:30,482
does kind of
mess with me a little bit.
328
00:19:30,482 --> 00:19:35,206
I think I might be
trying to fit Adriano
in this plan that I have.
329
00:19:35,206 --> 00:19:37,310
When in reality,
330
00:19:37,310 --> 00:19:40,413
maybe he's not
that guy for me.
331
00:19:40,413 --> 00:19:42,206
I have to figure out soon
332
00:19:42,206 --> 00:19:44,793
if this is worth fighting for.
333
00:19:44,793 --> 00:19:47,620
I have to take everything
that you just said
334
00:19:47,620 --> 00:19:51,103
into consideration
'cause you are right.
335
00:19:51,103 --> 00:19:53,137
A little bit,
just a little bit.
336
00:20:09,172 --> 00:20:11,586
Madelein has been
chomping at the bit
337
00:20:11,586 --> 00:20:13,000
to plan this wedding.
338
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,655
But I don't have the money.
339
00:20:35,793 --> 00:20:36,931
Okay.
340
00:20:39,862 --> 00:20:41,068
What needs to be done?
341
00:20:41,793 --> 00:20:42,758
These sheets.
342
00:20:43,172 --> 00:20:44,448
The bathroom.
343
00:20:44,448 --> 00:20:46,172
Shortly after
meeting Madelein,
344
00:20:46,172 --> 00:20:48,931
I bought an investment
property in Colombia.
345
00:20:50,241 --> 00:20:54,344
It is a luxury apartment,
and I do short term rentals
for tourists.
346
00:20:54,965 --> 00:20:56,172
Do you have a broom?
347
00:20:56,551 --> 00:20:57,862
Okay.
348
00:20:58,689 --> 00:21:00,965
I'm just gonna put this
right here for now.
349
00:21:05,586 --> 00:21:08,758
Maddy has barely
spoken to me since yesterday
350
00:21:08,758 --> 00:21:11,896
when I told her that my move
to Columbia has been delayed.
351
00:21:11,896 --> 00:21:13,655
Here's some disinfectant.
352
00:21:16,068 --> 00:21:18,862
But today we're gonna
have to work together
353
00:21:18,862 --> 00:21:23,344
and get the rental property
ready for its new guest.
354
00:21:24,689 --> 00:21:27,034
Here, let me sweep the rest.
I can sweep.
355
00:21:30,172 --> 00:21:32,586
The other bed? Okay.
356
00:21:32,586 --> 00:21:34,689
I have so much
on my mind right now.
357
00:21:34,689 --> 00:21:38,482
I keep thinking about
what my friend Brian
said last night.
358
00:21:38,482 --> 00:21:41,896
He thinks I should
get a prenup before
marrying Madelein,
359
00:21:41,896 --> 00:21:45,241
and protect my only asset,
which is this apartment.
360
00:21:46,241 --> 00:21:47,827
And I know he's right.
361
00:21:49,482 --> 00:21:51,137
I need to do
the fitted sheets
362
00:21:51,137 --> 00:21:53,862
but I think I'm gonna
need your help for it.
363
00:21:55,103 --> 00:21:56,689
Okay.
364
00:21:56,689 --> 00:21:58,965
But Madelein
is already upset with me,
365
00:22:00,379 --> 00:22:03,448
and I don't want to
bring up another thing
that might upset her.
366
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,724
For how long is this rent?
367
00:22:08,793 --> 00:22:11,034
and they're gonna pay $1,900.
368
00:22:36,034 --> 00:22:38,448
Okay, baby. Let's have
a good day today, okay?
369
00:22:50,379 --> 00:22:51,655
What do you think? Good?
370
00:22:52,275 --> 00:22:53,206
Yeah.
371
00:23:22,586 --> 00:23:26,034
My mom is Mexican,
so for the first four years
of my life
372
00:23:26,034 --> 00:23:28,137
we only spoke Spanish at home.
373
00:23:28,137 --> 00:23:30,482
But when I started school,
we became
374
00:23:30,482 --> 00:23:34,965
a strictly
English speaking household,
So I lost everything I knew.
375
00:23:34,965 --> 00:23:39,000
But since I've been
with Madelein, it's starting
to come back to me.
376
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:43,862
And that's really good
because Madelein's family does
not speak a lick of English.
377
00:23:44,379 --> 00:23:47,965
Hello!
378
00:24:04,758 --> 00:24:05,793
Luke!
379
00:24:38,482 --> 00:24:43,034
My grandma
teach me respect.
She teach me love.
380
00:25:23,034 --> 00:25:25,275
Madelein has been
chomping at the bit
381
00:25:25,275 --> 00:25:26,793
to plan this wedding,
382
00:25:26,793 --> 00:25:29,758
and I want to give her
the wedding that she deserves.
383
00:25:30,448 --> 00:25:32,655
But I can't afford that
right now.
384
00:25:40,068 --> 00:25:44,379
I don't know
if Madelein really understands
the gravity of my situation.
385
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,586
Madelein told me
not to talk about money,
386
00:26:06,586 --> 00:26:08,000
I don't want to talk
about money,
387
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,379
but you're asking
about a wedding, and
I'm thinking about money.
388
00:26:24,586 --> 00:26:26,172
Um...
389
00:27:09,689 --> 00:27:13,172
Madelein's family is
clearly frustrated with me.
390
00:27:13,172 --> 00:27:16,793
I feel uncomfortable.
I'm getting hot,
391
00:27:16,793 --> 00:27:20,241
and Madelein
is not helping me out.
392
00:27:20,241 --> 00:27:25,586
And in my head I can't
help but think this is
a manipulation tactic,
393
00:27:25,586 --> 00:27:27,551
for her to try
and get what she wants.
394
00:27:34,689 --> 00:27:36,862
But I'm not gonna budge.
395
00:27:36,862 --> 00:27:38,758
We need to figure out
our finances,
396
00:27:38,758 --> 00:27:41,275
and I don't have the money
to pay for the wedding,
397
00:27:41,275 --> 00:27:42,931
so, you know,
grow the [bleep] up.
398
00:27:56,793 --> 00:27:58,586
I know this is
what has to happen,
399
00:27:58,586 --> 00:28:01,172
whether it causes me
pain or not.
400
00:28:01,172 --> 00:28:03,655
And I either
need to get on board
401
00:28:03,655 --> 00:28:07,206
or let go of both Alliya
and Douglas.
402
00:28:31,965 --> 00:28:33,896
Come on, party people.
403
00:28:33,896 --> 00:28:36,172
Come on.
Are you ready?
404
00:28:36,172 --> 00:28:38,448
We're gonna
lose this ball so fast.
405
00:28:40,965 --> 00:28:42,068
Great shot.
406
00:28:46,586 --> 00:28:48,551
That's the way. Ay!
407
00:28:49,586 --> 00:28:52,103
I've been in Brazil
for about a week
408
00:28:52,103 --> 00:28:55,689
and Alliya and I have had
some difficult conversations
409
00:28:55,689 --> 00:28:59,206
about her transitioning
and what it means
to our relationship.
410
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,793
But I want to put
all that aside for now
411
00:29:02,793 --> 00:29:07,344
and just enjoy my time
with Alliya and her friends
tonight at the beach.
412
00:29:15,655 --> 00:29:18,310
I've been so lucky
that I have great friends.
413
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,103
So sit here.
414
00:29:30,344 --> 00:29:33,482
It's... quite cold here.
415
00:29:33,482 --> 00:29:35,689
I want Shawn to hang out
with my friends today
416
00:29:35,689 --> 00:29:39,448
because I want him to see
how happy I am in my life.
417
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,448
So you
grew up together? Okay.
- Yeah.
418
00:29:44,448 --> 00:29:49,344
Alliya, I've known her since
birth, I guess. Yeah.
419
00:29:49,344 --> 00:29:52,172
I just want to know, like,
what she was like
when she was little.
420
00:29:52,172 --> 00:29:53,793
She was easygoing.
421
00:29:53,793 --> 00:29:57,724
She was kind of shy
and she would be really sweet
and really kind.
422
00:29:58,241 --> 00:29:59,896
We would pretend to be heroes.
423
00:29:59,896 --> 00:30:01,689
- So, our--
- Oh, like superheroes?
424
00:30:01,689 --> 00:30:03,275
I would have,
like, super strength.
425
00:30:03,275 --> 00:30:06,793
My sister would have
the ability to fly, and
Alliya wants to shine.
426
00:30:06,793 --> 00:30:09,344
Oh, it's perfect.
427
00:30:15,793 --> 00:30:17,862
Being here tonight,
I can see
428
00:30:17,862 --> 00:30:23,896
how much lighter
and happier she seems now
with her new life.
429
00:30:23,896 --> 00:30:27,586
And I'm realizing
that I don't want to be
the person
430
00:30:27,586 --> 00:30:33,862
that ever dims her light
and her, what I think she
would call, shine.
431
00:30:39,034 --> 00:30:42,103
Okay.
432
00:30:42,103 --> 00:30:44,758
There is so much
that I want to say tonight.
433
00:30:55,793 --> 00:30:57,241
"Today I want to
say goodbye."
434
00:31:02,655 --> 00:31:05,793
"To say goodbye
to all the stigma that has
been imposed on me."
435
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,034
"I have been
learning about self-love,
436
00:31:21,034 --> 00:31:25,241
acceptance, strength
and the courage
to show the world who I am."
437
00:31:31,793 --> 00:31:34,586
"Alliya is the embodiment
of all of the shine
438
00:31:34,586 --> 00:31:36,793
that Douglas wanted to show."
439
00:33:19,793 --> 00:33:21,965
Mmm-hmm.
440
00:33:22,793 --> 00:33:25,241
Mmm-hmm.
441
00:33:34,586 --> 00:33:39,413
I think at this moment,
what I take away is that
she's doing the right thing.
442
00:33:40,172 --> 00:33:42,068
And that this is what
has to happen,
443
00:33:42,068 --> 00:33:44,172
whether it causes me pain
or not.
444
00:33:44,172 --> 00:33:46,965
All right, here we go.
To new beginnings.
445
00:33:51,586 --> 00:33:55,379
I realized that
I can't see Douglas or Alliya.
446
00:33:55,379 --> 00:34:01,034
I have to see
the soul of the person
that I fell in love with.
447
00:34:01,034 --> 00:34:03,482
To Alliya. To life.
Happiness.
448
00:34:03,482 --> 00:34:04,758
Cheers.
449
00:34:07,103 --> 00:34:09,103
This is our future.
450
00:34:09,103 --> 00:34:15,241
And I either need to
get on board or let go of
both Alliya and Douglas.
451
00:34:21,379 --> 00:34:24,965
I want to marry you, but with
the financial concerns,
452
00:34:24,965 --> 00:34:26,551
it brings up the prenup.
453
00:34:26,551 --> 00:34:29,965
I don't want to be with person
that don't trust me.
454
00:34:35,655 --> 00:34:36,965
you.
455
00:35:13,137 --> 00:35:14,931
I am so confused.
456
00:35:16,655 --> 00:35:19,275
I don't have my job.
I'm in a ton of debt,
457
00:35:19,275 --> 00:35:24,793
and I feel like
Madelein understands
my financial situation,
458
00:35:24,793 --> 00:35:27,896
but at the same time
she's trying to plan
this wedding.
459
00:35:38,448 --> 00:35:42,793
And I think after talking
with her family yesterday,
she got more excited.
460
00:35:48,482 --> 00:35:52,103
- Put on a choreographed dance?
- Yeah.
461
00:35:52,965 --> 00:35:54,689
And without
talking to me first,
462
00:35:54,689 --> 00:35:57,655
she made an appointment to go
see a wedding venue today.
463
00:36:03,689 --> 00:36:06,000
Hi, guys.
Welcome to Grenade.
464
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,034
Nice to meet you.
My name is Vivian.
465
00:36:08,034 --> 00:36:09,275
Nice to meet you. I'm Luke.
466
00:36:09,275 --> 00:36:11,275
Hi, nice to meet you
Luke,
nice to meet you.
467
00:36:11,275 --> 00:36:15,482
This is a beautiful place
where you can make your
dream wedding come true.
468
00:36:15,482 --> 00:36:17,551
So let's go and see
what it is.
469
00:36:17,758 --> 00:36:19,172
Cool.
470
00:36:37,551 --> 00:36:40,344
This is where
the ceremony is going to
take place.
471
00:36:42,379 --> 00:36:43,448
I like it.
472
00:36:44,896 --> 00:36:47,482
You guys look
really lovely there.
473
00:36:47,482 --> 00:36:48,965
Yeah?
You do.
474
00:37:07,137 --> 00:37:08,344
Wow.
475
00:37:16,103 --> 00:37:18,551
So right here,
I want the DJ.
476
00:37:19,586 --> 00:37:22,241
And this is the part
we're going to do the dancing.
477
00:37:46,448 --> 00:37:48,275
I hope you liked it.
478
00:37:48,275 --> 00:37:49,655
She loves it.
479
00:37:49,655 --> 00:37:51,137
Okay.
480
00:37:51,137 --> 00:37:55,000
Just for the venue,
it's $5,000.
481
00:37:56,275 --> 00:37:57,655
Okay.
482
00:38:01,482 --> 00:38:05,034
- Okay. Is there anything else
that I would need to cover?
- Yes.
483
00:38:05,034 --> 00:38:07,137
You're gonna need flowers.
484
00:38:07,137 --> 00:38:10,793
You're gonna need a DJ,
a band perhaps?
485
00:38:10,793 --> 00:38:13,344
Catering. You're also
going to need a planner
486
00:38:13,344 --> 00:38:15,655
if you want the day
to go really smooth.
487
00:38:16,689 --> 00:38:18,275
So how much is all of that?
488
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,793
So,
we're probably at
489
00:38:23,793 --> 00:38:26,310
somewhere $16,000
and $20,000?
Yeah.
490
00:38:27,275 --> 00:38:28,758
Okay.
Okay.
491
00:38:30,862 --> 00:38:33,448
I'm gonna let you guys
think about it.
492
00:38:33,448 --> 00:38:35,241
Thank you so much.
Appreciate your time.
493
00:38:36,896 --> 00:38:39,689
$20,000 to me right now
is like...
494
00:38:39,689 --> 00:38:41,862
it's pixie dust.
It doesn't exist.
495
00:38:44,344 --> 00:38:45,965
Madelein needs to wake up.
496
00:38:46,379 --> 00:38:47,655
She really does.
497
00:38:48,793 --> 00:38:50,896
You know,
I want this for my wedding,
498
00:38:50,896 --> 00:38:53,034
and I want to feel
like a princess.
499
00:38:55,034 --> 00:38:58,344
I want you to feel
like a princess because
you are my princess, baby,
500
00:38:58,344 --> 00:39:00,448
but 15 to 20 grand, amor...
501
00:39:06,034 --> 00:39:08,758
I'm just really concerned
because 15 to 20 grand,
502
00:39:08,758 --> 00:39:10,689
I don't have it.
I can't pay for that.
503
00:39:14,965 --> 00:39:16,827
Well, what I'm--
504
00:39:21,689 --> 00:39:23,896
But I don't know
when I'll have that money.
505
00:39:23,896 --> 00:39:26,724
Yeah, because nobody
knows the future.
506
00:39:29,793 --> 00:39:32,275
Maybe it's an age thing,
and at 19 years old,
507
00:39:32,275 --> 00:39:35,655
you can't understand
the gravity of my
money problems.
508
00:39:35,655 --> 00:39:39,551
I don't know.
But this is exactly why
I need a prenup.
509
00:39:40,586 --> 00:39:42,827
I question her judgment.
Yeah, I mean...
510
00:39:44,655 --> 00:39:48,689
I... I just want us
to both be on the same page.
511
00:39:48,689 --> 00:39:52,379
I want to marry you.
I just need to feel secure.
512
00:39:52,379 --> 00:39:54,241
And with
the financial concerns,
513
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,862
it brings up
another component.
514
00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,655
I know
that I will never leave you.
515
00:40:00,586 --> 00:40:02,517
But I don't know that
you will never leave me.
516
00:40:04,344 --> 00:40:06,448
And, like,
what I'm getting at is...
517
00:40:08,689 --> 00:40:11,344
The prenup.
Have you ever heard of it?
518
00:40:12,586 --> 00:40:14,275
So you don't feel secure
about me
519
00:40:14,275 --> 00:40:16,965
- or what the
do you say?
- Everybody does it.
520
00:40:18,103 --> 00:40:19,344
For protection.
521
00:40:21,448 --> 00:40:24,655
That is more like
you don't trust me.
522
00:40:24,655 --> 00:40:28,241
I don't want to be with person
that don't trust me.
523
00:40:34,068 --> 00:40:37,241
Uh, look,
Brian also thinks I should--
524
00:40:37,241 --> 00:40:38,448
you.
525
00:41:10,103 --> 00:41:12,482
Next time on
Love in Paradise...
526
00:41:14,896 --> 00:41:19,103
Before coming on this trip
there was a lot of
uncertainties for me
527
00:41:19,103 --> 00:41:22,793
about "Can I love Alliya
as much as I love Douglas?"
528
00:41:22,793 --> 00:41:24,000
Hey.
529
00:41:25,448 --> 00:41:26,758
You look amazing.
530
00:41:26,758 --> 00:41:28,758
I've...
I've made the decision
531
00:41:28,758 --> 00:41:32,103
and have a big,
big, big surprise.
532
00:41:36,793 --> 00:41:38,896
...you wouldn't have
a threesome.
533
00:41:41,068 --> 00:41:44,689
You're giving this pleasure
so much power
534
00:41:44,689 --> 00:41:47,482
that you're willing
to toss me to the side.
535
00:41:50,793 --> 00:41:53,275
I'm here to get a, uh,
STD test.
536
00:41:53,275 --> 00:41:57,034
Ani wasn't happy about me
donating through sex
to a woman in Australia.
537
00:41:57,034 --> 00:42:00,137
What Ani doesn't know
is that there's other women
538
00:42:00,137 --> 00:42:02,551
I donated
naturally to, recently.
539
00:42:02,551 --> 00:42:05,344
One in Norway
and one in the UK.
540
00:42:07,275 --> 00:42:10,482
I'm getting a CI test
so Ani shouldn't be worried
541
00:42:10,482 --> 00:42:13,862
about the other women
I'm having sex with
to get pregnant.
542
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,275
Madelein and I
got in a huge fight
and we haven't talked since.
543
00:42:19,275 --> 00:42:23,275
Most of the time I'm the one
doing the compromising.
544
00:42:23,275 --> 00:42:26,689
But this time is different.
It's a non-negotiable.
545
00:42:26,689 --> 00:42:29,448
So if she can't compromise,
then...
546
00:42:30,172 --> 00:42:31,586
we can't move forward.
