On October 17, 2026, Chantel Everett married Ashley Bowen in front of about 60 guests at Fountainview Mansion — and left by helicopter for a honeymoon she had not even booked. Four years after her divorce from Pedro Jimeno, the messiest split in 90 Day history, that is what a comeback looks like. Here are the five biggest comebacks in the Chantel universe, ranked from bold to unbelievable.
No. 5 — Pedro Draws His Line in the Sand: With or Without Lidia’s Blessing
Pedro Jimeno has been engaged to Valentina Malagon since June 6, 2026, and five months later there is still no wedding date and no blessing from his mother Lidia. Valentina wants the wedding in Colombia. Pedro wants the Dominican Republic. So Pedro said the sentence that ended the waiting game: he will marry Valentina with or without his mother’s blessing. For a son who spent years trying to please his mother, that line was the comeback. He even reposted his proposal four days after Chantel’s wedding, with no explanation.
No. 4 — River Everett, the Brother Who Accidentally Played Matchmaker
For years, River Everett was the kid brother at the family table. Then he introduced Chantel to her future wife. Chantel met Ashley through her brother River at a birthday party, and Ashley proposed in December 2025. On October 17, 2026, Chantel married her. River never set out to be a matchmaker. The quietest Everett delivered the family’s happiest ending by throwing a birthday party.
No. 3 — Winter Everett’s Reinvention: From Background Sister to Headline Act
Winter Everett spent years as the quiet sister while Chantel and Pedro’s marriage took up all the oxygen. Then she rebuilt herself in public. After weight-loss surgery in 2020, Winter reshaped her look and her confidence, and in October 2024 she shared a stylish photoshoot amid rumors of a brand-new spin-off of her own. She did not need a wedding or a proposal to stage her comeback. She did it with a camera, a new wardrobe, and a refusal to stay in the background.
No. 2 — The Rose Arch in Oahu: Pedro Proposes to Valentina
On June 6, 2026, Pedro Jimeno got down on one knee on a beach in Oahu, under a heart-shaped arch of red roses, and proposed to Valentina Malagon with a pear-shaped diamond ring. The couple announced the engagement on June 23, and Pedro told PEOPLE that with Valentina, he had learned that “peace has a name.” Valentina, a psychologist from Colombia, had messaged Pedro on Instagram after seeing he was in her country. Four years after a divorce that played out on camera, Pedro found his second act in a DM, a beach, and a ring — and no wedding date has been publicly confirmed yet.
No. 1 — Chantel Marries Ashley: From Divorce Papers to a Helicopter Exit
Chantel filed for divorce in May 2022. It was finalized in 2023. Her marriage to Pedro had been picked apart by two families and four seasons of television. Three years later, she walked down the aisle in a custom beaded gown, exchanged handwritten vows in private, and left by helicopter for a secret Cancun honeymoon Ashley had already booked. In a short TLC clip, the newlyweds declared, “That means we’re ChantAshley!” Today, Chantel is a nurse injector in Sandy Springs, Georgia, with a wife of her own. Karen once hired a PI to vet Pedro. On October 17, she watched her daughter marry a woman her own son introduced her to. No comeback in this universe tops that.
