90 Day Fiancé: Cleo & Christian’s Breakup Confirmed (The Real Reason They Split & What’s Next For Each Of Them)

90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 6 couple, Cleo Corraine and Christian Allgood, have called it quits, which is making fans wonder what the next chapter is for each of them. Cleo, an Italian native living in London and working as a model, met Minnesota native Christian online, and the pair were talking for over a year before they decided to meet in person. Christian flew to London to spend several weeks with Cleo around Thanksgiving 2022. Cleo is the first autistic person to appear in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, and she was the first trans woman.

Cleo was the first trans and autistic person Christian had ever dated. During Christian’s visit, they shared an Airbnb and tried to settle into each other’s company in real life. Christian was criticized by his family for his relationship with Cleo because of her trans identity, and he tried to shake off their negative feelings. While Christian and Cleo had a tumultuous time together, they ended on a positive note. During the Tell All, Christian and Cleo revealed that Cleo had visited Christian in Minnesota for a few months, and she grew close to women in Christian’s family, but she was not introduced to any of the males.

Cleo’s Breakup Statement Confirmed Her Incompatibility With Christian

Yesterday, Cleo broke the shocking news that she and Christian had split in an Instagram post explaining the real reason they broke up. She began with the statement:

She asked for privacy during this time but had the comments turned on on the post. She explained that she would “always love” Christian but said they “have very different personalities and emotional needs, and that was excruciatingly painful for both.” Cleo relayed that the last year and a half they were together meant a lot to her and finished by pleading, “Neither of us are perfect, I’m very insecure and codependent, please don’t send him any hate.”

Instead of letting 90 Day Fiancé fans speculate about their relationship status, Cleo took the approach of ripping off the Band-Aid and making the information public knowledge. As for her breakup reasoning, it’s not surprising that Cleo felt insecure and codependent because she relayed that a lot throughout the season. The root of their split was their incompatibilities. Christian has yet to address the breakup with a formal response.

Christian Proposed To Cleo During The Tell All

The stakes were very high for Cleo and Christian’s relationship because Christian proposed to Cleo in front of everyone during the Tell All. While his approach was informal and almost seemed like an afterthought, Cleo took it seriously and said yes to the proposal. Christian iterated that an in-person proposal was to follow so that he could start the paperwork for the K-1 visa. Christian and Cleo hit some roadblocks during the Tell All but made it clear that there was a lot of love between them.

Cleo And Christian’s Relationship Had Many Red Flags

Christian became a villain during 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days for his insensitive and clueless behavior toward Cleo. He did things that made her uncomfortable and didn’t quite learn from his mistakes so as to correct what Cleo didn’t like. Christian would talk to women in front of and behind Cleo’s back. He didn’t see it as being flirty but as being friendly. However, Cleo interpreted it negatively and thought he was flirty. Cleo said she gets stressed out in overly social situations, and Christian put her in harm’s way several times.

Moreover, Christian lied about his and Cleo’s initial intimate night, saying they didn’t have sex. Cleo confirmed they did and felt betrayed by Christian’s attempt to conceal the truth. At the Tell All, Christian defended his friendly personality and said he didn’t think his behavior was wrong, even when told by everyone on the stage that he needed to change since Cleo felt uncomfortable with the social things he did. It became evident that Christian would need to change in order for Cleo to feel heard in their relationship.

Christian May Try To Remain In The 90 Day Fiancé Spotlight

Christian has said that he likes being the life of the party and was even called an attention w***e by one of his fellow castmates. Christian’s intention to apply for the K-1 visa with Cleo could also signal his desire to stay in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise longer with their continued storyline. Now that Christian and Cleo have split, a single Christian might set his sights on the hit franchise spinoff 90 Day: The Single Life. Christian is a self-proclaimed entertainer who may have come on the show for clout, and now that he has the spotlight, he might use his platform for personal gain and further attention from the 90 Day Fiancé audience.

Cleo Will Focus On Herself

Cleo’s breakup post made it seem like she is aware she has a lot to work on going into the next chapter of her life without Christian. She called out her insecure nature and codependency tendencies but did not call Christian out on his faults. This means she doesn’t appear to want to air any dirty laundry. In fact, she tried to protect him and urged fans not to come for him. Cleo doesn’t intend to make the split dramatic, which speaks to her maturity and self-awareness. It seems as if Cleo intends to take time to heal after having her emotions played with by Christian.

Christian and Cleo were a very entertaining couple to watch on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. Christian’s fumbles with Cleo’s sensitivities, his wrongdoing in his attempts to be social, and his suspect intentions of putting himself in the public eye did add dramatic value to the season. Their situation was unique and pioneering, and although they may not have been compatible, they had a great storyline compared to the other couples. With Christian coming off as the villain and Cleo winning favorability among viewers, they will be a couple missed by fans.
