Rayne Fernandez's relationship journey with Chidi Ikpeamaeze was featured in 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days Season 7, and now it's time for an update on his life. Rayne traveled to Chidi's native Nigeria to meet him in person for the first time after having a five-year virtual relationship with him. Chidi is blind in both eyes and hid this information from Rayne for a long time. However, upon hearing the news of her blindness, Rayne was happy and receptive, as she had problems with body awareness.
Rayne, 37, is from New Mexico and has two children from previous relationships. Chidi, 33, met Rayne on social media after she sent him a friend request. Rayne has had troubled relationships her entire life and said she never felt loved by anyone before meeting Chidi. Chidi lives with her sister, husband and children in Lagos, Nigeria. In 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days In Season 7, Rayne and Chidi's storyline was the first to end, causing more speculation about how their lives compare now.
Rayne and Chidi before the 90 day journey
Rayne exploded several times
90 Day Fiance: Before 90 days' Rayne went to Nigeria thinking that she and Chidi would get together in the same bed and build their personal bond. However, Chidi, who took a vow of celibacy before marriage, prior to Rayne's arrival, informed her that she would sleep separately and that they could not physically mix. Rayne was very hurt and upset by the idea, since Chidi hadn't escaped celibacy until then, but she ended up deciding.
The point where things got worse was when Rayne, Chidi, and Chidi's sister Victoria went to the store to buy groceries for dinner. Rayne, who loves chickens but still eats them, was shocked when Victoria ordered the butcher to slaughter a chicken for dinner. She was furious and scared Chidi and Victoria with her outburst. Rayne went on to say that she had a premonition that she was going to have a problem with her better half's sisterand this premonition came true, as a result of his own action.
During dinner with Chidi's family, Rayne accused Chidi of being breastfed by her sister and had in mind that Victoria had a problem with her. She left Chidi's sister's house and went to a hotel, and was hurt when Chidi didn't want to go with her. More of the same volatility came from Rayne during her and Chidi's last meeting before she left Nigeria. She felt surprised by Chidi's celibacy and thought they couldn't have a life together as long as he was close to his sister. Rayne left Nigeria separately from Chidi.
Rayne is still very resentful about Chidi's relationship

Rayne left Nigeria very bitter towards Chidi and feeling that they had been wronged. And she still feels that way.
Rayne is active on social media, where she shares many stories trying to criticize Chidi for still contacting her and for being an alleged liar.
She criticizes him for leading sexually and shared deleted text messages from their private conversations. However, Rayne kept some of Chidi's attacks on her public profile.
“I have Chidis' voice saying I'm amazing on camera. Sooooo. The editing? Made me the villain because I'm easier to work with and talk to too. He just repeats himself and lies.”
Rayne also claimed that she was fired from the network and was not invited to the Tell All. No proof of this has surfaced, but Rayne and Chidi will be absent from the Tell All regardless. Rayne still has a lot of venom and isn't finished disclosing her truth about the entire relationship and its consequences.
Is Rayne dating anyone?
There are signs
As Rayne is active on social media, there would be signs that she was in another relationship, and there are none. Rayne appears to be focused on herself and the children after her 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days ordeal with Chidi. Rayne answers questions from fans and her supporters, so it's possible she will continue to speak her truth off camera, but for now, she's out of the spotlight and out of a relationship with Chidi or anyone else.
