Sophie Sierra and Rob Warne’s journey from 90 Day Fiancé season ten and beyond has hit several bumps in the road from the moment that Englishwoman Sophie landed in Rob’s home state of California. Season eight of Happily Ever After has shown that the pair still have a lot to get through if they want to achieve marital bliss – perhaps not helped by Sophie’s mother Claire often at the helm.
Here’s where we know about where Sophie and Rob stand today, after filming on Happily Ever After has wrapped.
Sophie and Rob’s relationship timeline
Sophie, a British woman of mixed-race heritage, slid into American citizen Rob’s DMs on Instagram after discovering him on an account for mixed-race models. After months of chatting online, Sophie flew out to meet Rob in his home state of California, and the two swiftly got engaged, motivated in large part due to the fact it would allow Sophie to stay in the country for much longer – ninety days, to be exact, as the show’s title suggests.
As shown on season ten of 90 Day Fiancé, Sophie had trouble adjusting to life in Rob’s home. The Brit, who grew up wealthy, found Rob’s home to be less than ideal in comparison to what she’s used to. This led to accusations by Rob that his fiancé was “spoiled”, whereas Sophie – egged on by her mother Claire – wondered if the American was pulling his own weight in comparison to the businesswoman. From the start, Rob’s relationship with his future mother-in-law was frosty at best, with Claire’s frequent fights with “Rob the Knob” – as she labels him – causing Sophie to consider calling off the wedding.
Although Sophie and Rob eventually made it down the aisle after reconciling, mother-in-law troubles weren’t the only hurdle they had to overcome. When Sophie discovered that Rob had been sending sexually explicit messages to other women, Rob attempted to gaslight his way out of the situation by claiming that didn’t count as cheating. When Rob discovered that Sophie was bisexual, he suspected that Sophie may cheat on him with her American friend Kay, who she moved in with after a particularly explosive argument. By the end of season ten, the couple stated in the reunion tell-all that they had moved to Rob’s home city of Austin, Texas, in an attempt to make things work once more.
As shown in the follow-up series 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season eight, these struggles have meant that little progress has been made between the pair in resolving these issues, leading to Sophie considering giving up on their marriage – something certainly encouraged by Claire. Sophie realized that bailing on her marriage also meant bailing on her new life in America, making the decision a much bigger one than she previously thought.
Still reeling from Rob’s unfaithfulness shown in 90 Day Fiancé, Sophie later discovered that her husband’s infidelity had gone further than initially thought. The American had actually exchanged sexually explicit messages with a number of women, rather than just one “mistake”.
By the end of season eight’s filming, Sophie and Rob had been living apart for some time, with Sophie moving in with her friend Kay – whose own relationship with Rob is much less friendly. After celebrating his birthday and feeling tempted by flirtatious women at the club, Rob decided that he wanted his freedom back, and felt that his British spouse was getting in the way of his wild ways that he wanted to pursue.
In the final episodes, Rob – after a blow-out argument with Kay at the front door – stopped off at the door to break things off with Sophie for good, asserting that they should begin the process of a formal separation before an eventual divorce. A devastated Sophie broke down, and begun having a panic attack, while being soothed by a furious Kay.
Sophie managed to get Rob to come back to her home briefly in a last-ditch attempt to reconcile the relationship, but Rob stood firm on his decision, blaming the Brit for not extending enough of an olive branch in the first place for a reconciliation to be possible.
“I don’t want to keep trying and getting nowhere,” Rob said. Sophie, however, changed her mind about reconciling with Rob. “If you don’t want to try a last time, then bye. Have a nice life.”
Are Sophie and Rob still together in 2024?
In March of 2024, In Touch Weekly reported that Sophie Sierra and Rob Warne had separated after just one year of marriage., citing the break-up as occurring around May 2023. “They haven’t officially filed because the show is still going on,” an anonymous source close to the couple told the publication. “Sophie and Rob still keep in touch and are friends but they are not together.”
The “show” in question is 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season eight, which premiered the same month as reports broke out claiming the two had separated. The source also told In Touch that the former couple “haven’t been” together since she moved in with her friend Kay after an argument. “They moved in together around May of last year and [Kay and Sophie] been living together since.”
Now that principal photography for Happily Ever After season eight has been shown and the series heads into the tell-all reunion finale, In Touch’s report is only somewhat accurate. Sophie did move in with Kay when her marriage to Rob was at breaking point, but they did not split up until Sophie had been living with Kay for some time.
The May 2023 timeline for the break-up also seems dubious, as Happily Ever After season eight appeared to complete filming at the end of 2023, as many couples were shown celebrating Christmas – although editing can play a part in making storylines look more chronological than they actually are.
In May of this year, TVShowsAce obtained Instagram story footage from Rob, in which he appeared to be with a new girlfriend. However, another reality TV publication, Reality Tea reported that Sophie and Rob were in the line-up for season two of the spin-off series 90 Day: The Last Resort, where 90 Day alums at breaking point take part in couples’ therapies in an attempt to salvage their relationship.
Either way, it is certain that Sophie and Rob did indeed separate, although viewers invested in their storyline should certainly watch this space.
