90 Day Fiance: The Other Way is a spin-off of the TLC series franchise in which already married couples join the show. Fans have been introduced to two couples: James and Meitalia “Tatha” Solic and Joanne and Sean. Both pairs have a slew of secrets hidden from each other. However, fans are convinced that James and Tatha may not make it in the end.
Tatha hails from Indonesia while James lives in the United States. The pair got married and initially began living in stateside. However, Tatha soon developed an illness that made it difficult for her to swallow and eat.
The couple then moved to Indonesia, and within weeks, Tatha recovered from her eating problem. However, some underlying issues still need to be addressed. So, did James and Tatha make it? Are they still together? Let’s find out.
90 Day Fiance: Are James & Meitalia Still With Eachother?
James and Tatha initially lived in the U.S. under a K-1 visa. The 90 Day Fiance couple soon moved to Indonesia after Tatha developed an illness that affected her lymph nodes. American doctors were unable to treat her for the mysterious illness. However, Meitalia soon recovered within weeks after returning to Indonesia. Fans speculate that she might have been dealing with depression and feeling isolated.
However, as soon as they landed in Indonesia, their problems multiplied. James had quit his stable job in America so that he could settle with Meitalia but struggled to find similar financial stability in Indonesia. While James agreed to help in Tatha’s father’s family banana chip business, the income was far less than what he had earned in the U.S.
He also left behind their dog, Jojo, who was Meitalia’s main source of comfort in America. With so many problems overlapping, fans believed that James and Tatha’s relationship might be on the brink of a breakup. Many speculate that James was uncertain about staying in Indonesia and hoped Tatha might reconsider.
Despite these difficulties, James and Meitalia are still together after 90 Day Fiance. The pair continues to travel around and share pictures on their social media. James and Tatha even share a joint account on Instagram, where they keep fans updated about their life and daily adventures. It seems the couple eventually worked things out. However, it is unclear if they are still living in Indonesia or moved back to the U.S.
