The recent episode of TLC's 'The Family Chantel' saw Pedro's mother, Lydia, and sister, Nicole, giving him a tough time with their overt controlling and necessarily dramatic behavior, all hinted at throwing shade towards his wife, Chantel Everett. In the episode, we see their need to find reasons to constantly belittle Pedro about his life choices, while finding faults with the decisions he takes and verbally attacking Chantel.

The show centers around Chantel Everett and Pedro Jimeno, and their immediate families as they navigate an intercultural marriage. It is the first spin-off series of '90 Day Fiance'. Season 1 of the show premiered in July of 2019, while Season 2 premiered in October of 2020. Chantel's parents, Karen and Thomas, have graced their presence on the reality show as well. Chantel has two siblings, named Winter and River
