90 day fiance star Gabe PabonMore revealed his sister, Monicais the reason she’s in the hit franchise, but will she also be the downfall of his relationship with Isabel Posada? Read on to find out everything we know about Gabe’s family.
Who are 90 Day Fiance’s Gabe’s sister Monica and mom Marie?
Gabe made history as the first transgender person to appear on the franchise, but it was actually his sister who wrote to the producers and pretended to be him to get him on the show.
While not much is known about his family, Gabe was more concerned with telling his sister about his engagement to the Colombia native. After finding out that Gabe had already given the mother-of-two a ring, Monica was furious.
“It hurt a little. I’m going to get excited. It hurts a little,” Monica told producers in a private confessional during the April 23 episode. “Because, from my point of view, Gabe and I are best friends and the fact that Gabe is keeping his proposal from me makes me feel like he doesn’t value our relationship.”
Almost immediately after hearing the news, Monica urged her brother to draw up a prenuptial agreement to protect their assets, since she was unsure of Isabel’s intentions.
“Just in case it doesn’t work,” he told her in another scene. Meanwhile, her mother added: “You’ve worked on your business for many, many years to get it to where it is now.”
When Gabe asked Isabel about the deal, she was offended.
“Because I’m not looking for a man who supports me and gives me everything,” Isabel confessed in a private interview. “Monica wants to be involved in everything related to Gabe. She feels that she needs to control it.”
How does the family of ’90 Day Fiancé’ star Gabe feel about Isabel?
After learning of the engagement, Gabe’s family traveled to Colombia to meet his future bride for the first time.
While the language barrier brought obstacles and awkward silence, Isabel wanted to make sure she spoke to her sister before the wedding.
“If you have any doubts about what Gabriel thinks, then you need to talk to Gabriel,” Isabel told him over dinner. Meanwhile, in a private confessional, she added: “I don’t think Gabe and Monica are as close as I thought they were. I think the problem is not that Gabe is talking to me, but her.”
