Season 7 of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way introduces viewers to a brand-new face who’s already sparking conversation across the fandom — Dylan Yeandle. Charismatic yet mysterious, Dylan quickly becomes one of the most talked-about newcomers of the season, not just because of his good looks and charming British accent, but because of the complicated love story that brought him halfway around the world. His journey promises emotional twists, culture clashes, and a battle between love and practicality that will keep fans glued to their screens all season long.

Dylan Yeandle, 32, hails from Manchester, England, where he worked as a fitness trainer and part-time musician before joining the show. Outgoing, spontaneous, and passionate, Dylan built a solid following online thanks to his motivational fitness videos and acoustic guitar covers. But beneath his confident exterior lies a man searching for something deeper — genuine love. After several failed relationships and feeling increasingly disconnected from the modern dating scene, Dylan turned to international dating apps, where fate introduced him to Leila, a 28-year-old entrepreneur from Morocco. What began as casual conversations over text quickly transformed into something more intense and emotional, leading Dylan to make the life-changing decision to leave the comfort of his life in the UK and move to Tangier to be with her.

From the moment Dylan steps off the plane in Morocco, fans can tell this isn’t going to be an easy ride. The cultural and lifestyle differences between him and Leila become immediately apparent. Leila comes from a traditional Muslim family that values modesty, faith, and family reputation — three things Dylan has never had to navigate in his Western lifestyle. His tattoos, open-shirt style, and outspoken attitude instantly raise eyebrows with Leila’s parents, particularly her father, who questions whether Dylan is serious about building a respectful future. In one tense scene, Dylan attempts to greet her father with a casual handshake, only to be met with a cold stare and silence. “I knew it would be hard,” Dylan admits in his confessional, “but I didn’t expect it to feel like I was on trial.”

Leila, caught between her family’s expectations and her feelings for Dylan, becomes increasingly stressed as the season unfolds. She worries that her parents will never accept him — not only because he isn’t Muslim, but also because of his uncertain career plans. Dylan’s freelance work doesn’t provide consistent income, and Leila’s family fears he might not be able to support her. “They think I’m just a tourist,” Dylan says in frustration during one episode. “But I’m here because I love her. I left everything for this.”

Still, it’s not just Leila’s family putting pressure on the relationship. Dylan himself struggles to adapt to Moroccan culture. He finds it difficult to adjust to gender norms, conservative clothing expectations, and the lack of public affection. Scenes showing him trying to navigate the local market — getting overwhelmed by crowds and bargaining customs — provide both humor and frustration. At one point, he buys Leila flowers, unaware that public romantic gestures are frowned upon in her community, leading to a small but emotional argument. “I can’t even hold your hand here,” he tells her, visibly hurt. “It feels like you’re ashamed of me.” Leila’s tearful response, “I’m not ashamed, Dylan. I’m trying to protect us,” captures the emotional complexity of their cross-cultural love story.

As the season progresses, deeper issues start to emerge. Dylan’s easygoing nature clashes with Leila’s practicality. She dreams of marriage and stability, while he’s still chasing artistic passions and creative freedom. Their arguments about finances, religion, and future plans reveal that love alone might not be enough to bridge their worlds. In one memorable scene, Dylan tells the camera, “I thought love was enough, but maybe it’s not. Maybe we need more than just feelings — maybe we need understanding.” It’s a rare moment of vulnerability that shows viewers a side of him that goes beyond charm and bravado.

However, it’s not all tension and tears. The couple also shares tender, genuine moments that remind viewers why they fell for each other in the first place. A day trip to Chefchaouen — the famous “Blue City” of Morocco — becomes one of the season’s emotional highlights. As they walk through the winding alleys and laugh over street food, viewers see the spark that made them risk it all. “When it’s just us,” Leila says softly, “everything feels right.” But their happiness is fleeting, as reality soon intrudes again when her family threatens to cut ties if she continues seeing Dylan without marriage plans.

Fans have taken to social media with divided opinions about the couple. Some praise Dylan for his bravery in embracing a new culture and following his heart, while others criticize him for not doing enough research before uprooting his life. Many viewers sympathize with Leila, who’s caught in an impossible position between love and loyalty to her family. The debate around Dylan’s intentions — whether he’s truly ready for commitment or chasing a fantasy — fuels much of the season’s online buzz.

Off-camera, Dylan has remained relatively private, though his Instagram following has exploded since the season premiere. He’s posted a few behind-the-scenes photos of Morocco, hinting that the experience was “the hardest and most beautiful chapter” of his life. TLC producers have teased that his storyline is “one of the most unpredictable” of the season, and insiders suggest a major twist is coming — possibly involving a secret from Dylan’s past that could change everything.
