Thaís Ramone and Patrick Mendes: Progress in Their Relationship Post 90 Day Fiancé
Thaís Ramone and Patrick Mendes, both stars of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, have made notable strides in their relationship since the conclusion of season 8. Their journey first captivated audiences in season 9, where they recounted their initial meeting in Brazil. Patrick was en route to visit his father and learned Portuguese when he encountered Thaís through a dating app. Though his intentions were innocent, he found himself smitten by the stunning Brazilian model, much to the intrigue of viewers.
Throughout their storyline, Patrick’s suggestion that Thaís exhibited jealousy and her initial withdrawal from her father’s knowledge about her marriage to him created tension. However, the couple successfully wed in the season finale, soon welcoming their first child. Thaís had the opportunity to visit her family in Brazil during season 8, which also presented a chance for Patrick to reconcile with both his father and Thaís’ father. Their story concluded positively, positioning them as one of the least tumultuous couples in a franchise increasingly characterized by cast members more focused on social media fame than enduring bonds.
Recovering from Injury: Patrick’s Return to the Gym
Patrick’s Impressive Comeback
In their first appearance in 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8, viewers witnessed Thaís approach Patrick while he played with their six-month-old daughter, Aleesi. Expressing concern over his safety, she urged him to take it easy after he suffered a significant knee injury while playing flag football. Patrick described the incident as feeling like a hammer struck his knee, which required surgical intervention for recovery.
Thaís voiced her frustration over Patrick’s injury, which she had anticipated from his risky sports activities. As a former competitive weightlifter, Patrick had always been active, leading Thaís to worry each time he participated in flag football. Unfortunately, this injury posed a complication for their upcoming travels to Brazil. However, a glimmer of hope emerged in August 2024 when Patrick shared a video showcasing his return to the gym, performing deadlifts with enthusiasm.
“I’ve missed this so much!!!”
After a month of intensive training, Patrick’s commitment paid off. He advanced from a starting weight of 60kg/132lb to comfortably lifting 100kg/220lb, all without experiencing any pain. His impressive squat strength also climbed dramatically from 130kg/286lbs to an astonishing 405lbs. When fans inquired about his injury, he candidly remarked, “Torn my patella tendon last year. The baby knee got its revenge.”
Thaís and John’s Relationship: A Positive Shift
Reconciliation: Thaís and Patrick’s Family Dynamics
Although previously having strained relations, Thaís has made strides in her relationship with John, Patrick’s brother. Initially viewing John as a negative presence in Patrick’s life, doubts arose when the couple moved in together after relocating to Las Vegas. During a reunion Tell All, Thaís directly addressed John about his critical remarks, demanding greater support for her relationship with Patrick, which emotionally affected her.
John faced accusations of disrespect towards Thaís’ friends in Brazil, though he defended his actions as a reaction to being humiliated by them. After some tension, it appears that Thaís and Patrick have managed to work through their differences with John. By November 2024, the couple was spotted posing for a group photo with co-stars Kim Menzies and her son, Jamal, during a visit in Las Vegas, showcasing the progress made in their familial relationships.
Rumors Sparked: Is Thaís Expecting Again?
The Clickbait Pregnancy Post
In October 2024, Thaís took to social media, sharing snapshots from a gender-reveal party that sparked speculation about her being pregnant. Initially, the post appeared to celebrate a pregnancy for her and Patrick, leading to an outpouring of congratulations from fans. However, Thaís quickly clarified that the celebration was for a friend’s baby shower, not her own, after some keen-eyed fans noticed an edited caption. The change prompted backlash, with criticisms suggesting she misled followers for social media buzz. Thaís responded innocently, “Have no idea what you are talking about, dear!”
