Jaw-Dropping! Kim Menzies UNCOVERS Jamal and Chantel’s SECRET LOVE STORY — You Won’t Believe It!
Jamal Menes and Chantel Everett have revealed their secret romance—a love story kept from the cameras, meticulously cultivated in private, and now finally publicly visible. In a startling disclosure that rocked the 90-Day Fiancé fan base, rumors about Jamal’s love life had been spinning for months.
Fans have been enthralled with his cool head, quick wit, and unquestionable charm ever since he first appeared with his mother, Kim Menes, on 90-Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After. Unlike many other cast members, Jamal seemed grounded—a voice of reason amidst the craziness of his mother’s rollercoaster relationship with Usman “Sojaboy” Umar.
But despite his level-headed nature, one question lingered in the minds of fans: who had captured Jamal’s heart?
On the other side of the 90-Day Fiancé cosmos was Chantel Everett, a household celebrity brought into the spotlight by her tumultuous, well-publicized relationship with Pedro Jimeno. Viewers had been enthralled for years with their love story, which started with a whirlwind courtship and a marriage shadowed by family strife.
However, as audiences saw their marriage collapse—with accusations of infidelity, heated family disputes, and a brutal divorce—Chantel seemed eager to restore her independence.
Following her breakup with Pedro, Chantel publicly embraced a new chapter in her life. She focused on self-love, her nursing career, and deepening her relationship with her family. She candidly discussed recovering and moving forward, prompting many to think that romance was the last thing on her mind.
But as love sometimes does, it found a way—even in the most unlikely of circumstances.
Those close to the couple say Jamal and Chantel first crossed paths at a 90-Day Fiancé cast reunion event—a high-spirited gathering full of familiar faces, old flames, and unresolved conflicts.
Jamal and Chantel felt themselves pulled to one another. While others were busy rekindling conflicts and generating fresh controversy, their initial talks were light—polite small talk about their shared experiences in the reality TV industry. But there was an evident spark.
Both had navigated the highs and lows of public partnerships. Both understood the immense pressure of having millions analyze their love lives. And both, in that moment, realized they had found someone who truly understood what it meant to juggle fame and love.
The two followed up after the event. What began as amicable check-ins slowly turned into something more.
Jamal, ever the considerate communicator, would send Chantel messages to see how she was doing. Still reluctant to give her heart again, Chantel discovered she was looking forward to his calls. Their friendship blossomed steadily, away from the prying eyes of spectators and the ever-watchful cameras.
Not out of guilt, but rather a need to preserve what they were creating, Jamal and Chantel decided to keep their developing romance a secret. This time, they wanted to move at their own pace, knowing firsthand how public scrutiny can sour a relationship.
Secret weekend trips became more frequent over time. Jamal would fly to Atlanta to be with Chantel, and she would visit him in San Diego.
Friends described their time together as calm, filled with quiet dinners, long walks along the beach, and countless conversations about life, love, and the future.
Their secrecy, however, was only temporary.
Jamal’s mother, Kim Menes, was the first to catch on. Kim noticed small changes in her son—he was smiling at his phone, traveling more frequently, and clearly evasive when asked about his weekend plans.
At first, Kim didn’t press. She respected Jamal’s privacy and trusted that he would open up when ready. But her curiosity grew over the next several weeks.
One evening, during a regular phone chat, Kim casually asked if Jamal had someone special in his life.
Jamal paused, then finally said, “Yeah, Mom. It’s Chantel.”
Kim let out a startled gasp. Her son was dating Chantel Everett—the same Chantel whose dramatic family strife and messy divorce had become legendary on 90-Day Fiancé.
Although surprised, Kim showed full support for the couple once the initial shock wore off. She knew her son wasn’t one to enter relationships lightly. If he was with Chantel, it meant something serious.
