Shea McGuire’s first moments on 90 Day Fiancé Season 12 did not arrive quietly. The new cast member said he likes to party, and he admitted there are things that happen when he is out that he would not want Annabelle Chua to know about.

That confession landed alongside a sharper accusation from Nicole, who said their marriage lasted one month before ending and that it fell apart in part because McGuire was seeing Chua during that time. She also said she intended to let Chua know the kind of person McGuire really is, turning the premiere into a public airing of a relationship that had already broken down before viewers met it.

The clash came as Season 12 opened with the episode titled “In My Getting Married Era,” introducing McGuire as a fresh face tied to a K-1 visa effort to bring Chua to the United States. The season premiere aired Sunday at 8:00 p.m. ET on TLC, putting the relationship at the center of the show’s latest run from the start.

The timing matters because Chua had not been active on her page since July 2025, and there do not appear to have been recent interactions between her and McGuire on Facebook. That leaves the show with a relationship built more on what the participants are saying now than on what they are showing publicly online.

Nicole’s account adds another layer to the dispute. She implied McGuire had been messing around with his best friend’s recently divorced daughter, a detail that suggests the breakup was not the result of a single argument but of a wider pattern of behavior that she says played out before and during the marriage.

For now, the new season has already answered one question: McGuire’s story will not be just about a visa or a wedding plan. It is about whether the relationship survives the accusations attached to it, and whether Chua enters the public fight that Nicole says she is ready to start.
