Season 9 features the 29-year-old Emily from Salina, Kansas and 34-year-old Kobe from Cameroon. Emily was previously living in Xi'an, China, where she was teaching English. She met Kobe, an underwear model at the time, during a night out, and the pair had a one night stand. However, this soon turned into something more when the couple got engaged and, later, pregnant. While Emily came back to Kansas, Kobe was supposed to follow suit. But Covid-19 stalled their plans. However, now Kobe is all set to come to Kansas and meet his son for the first time while picking up where he left off with Emily.

Emily, who has been supporting her son through nanny jobs, and currently lives with her parents. With Kobe back in the picture, her parents have their fair share of concerns. Her parents believe that Emily and Kobe are rushing into things, stating that had their son, Cobin, not been in the picture, it would have been unlikely that the two would want to get married. "I don't know that if covid wasn't here if Kobe would still be coming. My concern is she's not head over heels in love with him when he comes, or something's not the same, and she marries him anyways." her mother said while talking to the producers.

Her father also expressed the sentiment that their lives would be vastly different from the ones they had in China. "You're not going to have the wild life you had in China. He's going to have to be domesticated very quickly as far as being a dad, taking care of a crazy one and half year old. He's going to have to be a stay-at-home dad for a while," Emily's father added. In addition to working on their relationship, Kobe and Emily will be staying with her parents, and her father has one condition — that she shouldn't get pregnant again. Emily reassures him that she has birth control, but her mother warns her that she needs to be on it to be effective. If anything, this conversation feels like foreshadowing of what is yet to come!
