90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way star Daniele Gates has revealed the reason she’s gone back to Yohan Geronimo despite the cheating scandal uncovered in season 6. Daniele from New York and Yohan from the Dominican Republic have been one of the most incompatible couples in the franchise. Daniele was attracted to gym manager and personal trainer Yohan the moment she saw him because of his height. Daniele didn’t mind that Yohan was called a “sanky panky” by her close friends.
However, Daniele remained suspicious about Yohan’s intentions. She did marry him, but after moving from New York to La Romana, Daniele saw how serious Yohan was about settling down in America. While Daniele and Yohan fought over their finances, he also told Daniele he wanted to have a baby with her despite her age. Yohan accused Daniele of selling him a dream. He wanted to live like a king with his American wife, but instead, Yohan had to resort to finding other American women who could get him a house and a car.

“Except for really one, or two [things] Yohan was an amazing partner.”

Daniele declared she was going to allow Yohan to have the life that he deserved. She also added, “If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work.” Daniele said it was not going to affect her because there was nothing Yohan was going to take from her.

Redditor fokkinchucky has now noticed that Daniele has been trying to do damage control over getting back together with Yohan.

Daniele told the fan there was “nothing” posted by her saying they were back together. “HE DID,” Daniele shared. It looks like the fear of being judged has pushed Daniele into denying her reconciliation with Yohan.
