After having the show's first bisexual couple,  '90 Day' franchise's first gay couple, Kenneth and Armando appeared in the season premiere of 'The Other Way' Season 2 and gave people a glimpse into what's their relationship is like. With a 26-year age gap, the couple is a perfect example of how age is just a number and has no relation to being in love.

Kenneth and Armando met on a social media group for gay fathers. Kenneth, who is a father of four beautiful children is 57-years old while Armando, who is a father of one beautiful daughter is 31- years old. The two had a lot in common and quickly started dating. Now, Kenneth is all set to move to Mexico and spend the rest of his life with the love of his life. 

Kenneth revealed it wasn't always easy for him to be gay as he spent a lot of time being in the closet. When he was 19, he left his place and enter a gay bar and finally accepted who he was. He was worried about how his parents would react but luckily for Kenneth, they were welcoming and accepted him for who he was. 

Despite this, he went on to have a fake marriage because Kenneth always wanted to be a father. His fathered four beautiful children who are all grown up now and he insists he does not regret anything in his life. However, Armando has a different story. Coming from a conservative place, he has not had the same acceptance as Kenneth did. 

Armando had known he was gay for a long time but feared coming out in a society where everyone expected a male to be the "macho" man. He decided to hide his sexuality and went on to marry a woman and even fathered a child. However, he could not keep up with the lie for a long time. 

He decided to come clean to his wife and the truth left her shocked. She decided to break this news to Armando's family and the news left them disappointed. Armando revealed that was the last time his family spoke about it. While reliving his past, Armando also revealed how his family thought the devil was inside him and he was a sinner when he came out gay. 

The family decided to push that incident under the rug and move on. While Kenneth is set to move to Mexico, Armando is yet to tell his family about their relationship. Even though he has tried to open up about it to his sister, the family seems to find it hard to accept him. Will things get complicated with Kenneth moving to Mexico?

'90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way' airs on Mondays at 9 pm ET on TLC.
