When did Niles and Matilda get married?
Niles and Matilda tied the knot two years ago. While Matilda was already planning their wedding for Niles’ first trip to Ghana, he was apprehensive about getting married without his family there. Ahead of their wedding, Niles called his family to let them know his major life update, and they did not take it well. He explained, “I’m f**king far from okay. In fact, you know what, after two years there are some things you can’t fake.”

What’s next for Niles and Matilda?
Fans might recall that Niles promised Matilda that it would take him five months to bring Matilda to the United States after their marriage in Ghana. Two years later, TLC has revealed that “ongoing visa issues have prevented their US reunion. During the upcoming season of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, the network teases, “Niles is returning to Ghana, hoping to make amends with Matilda’s family and get their marriage back on track. She thinks he’s coming for their anniversary, but he’s keeping a life-changing secret: this isn’t just a visit. Niles plans to leave America behind and move to Ghana for good.”
