Late last summer 90 Day Bride: Before 90 Days aluminum Ella Johnson announced her divorce from Johnny Chao.
After years of patient (and less than patient) waiting, after many plans were made, they gave up.
Or did are they
Even with the announcement, fans were skeptical. But Ella and Johnny actually met!

There is photographic evidence of their first meeting, no less!
We still don’t know much about how they came up with these plans.
But Ella hinted in a now-deleted post that Johnny could come visit on the Fourth of July. But even then, she sounded uncertain.

Her social media activity showed that she either had real doubts or was playing with her followers and their expectations.
We don’t know yet if she knew Johnny was showing.
But he did. He documented his trip to the US. It could all be fake, but it would be a cruel joke. This was never the case with these two.

But that doesn’t mean there wasn’t a lot of real pain and frustration.
After years of promises of a reunion that never showed up and a lot of money spent on tickets – they called it quits last September.
Ella announced on Instagram at the time. She was tired of holding on to hope that only brought her pain.

Johnny made the 12-hour flight and arrived in San Francisco first.
We only know limited details (at best) about his visit and his visit to Ella.
But we hope to learn more in the near future.

Given the buzz surrounding Ella and Johnny’s long-awaited reunion, we wouldn’t be surprised if we learn more.
The public interest is there. Many fans remember their journey – and all its ups and downs.
Unfortunately, it was too late for them to film for the show. And if they were filming a new season, it’s unlikely that either of them would have a contractual room to share the news.

So, it’s theoretically possible that Johnny just made the long-awaited trip to see Ella. Maybe they really are together now.
It’s just possible that he said “well, I’ll be in the US, I want to do something unexpected on Instagram?” and they met briefly for a friendly selfie.
Fan theories abound. We would love to hear what Ella and Johnny have to say.
