On June 6, 2026, Pedro Jimeno knelt on a beach in Oahu under a heart-shaped arch of red roses and asked Valentina Malagon to marry him. Five months later, the arch is still the only part of the wedding anyone has seen.
Pedro is engaged. Valentina said yes. Since that day, the couple has given fans a ring, a repost, a baptism, and a location argument — but not a date. Here is everything we know, and the four blanks left.
The DM That Started It: Colombia, Tulum, and a Tell All Reveal
Valentina Malagon is a psychologist from Colombia who found Pedro the modern way: she slid into his DMs after spotting an Instagram Story showing he was in Colombia. They met in Tulum before Pedro introduced her to viewers.
That introduction came on the 90 Day: The Single Life season 5 Tell All, where Valentina joined by video call while Pedro’s sister Nicole watched with open suspicion. A DM became a romance, and the romance became a ring.
June 6 in Oahu: The Rose Arch, the Sign, and the Pear-Shaped Ring
The proposal was pure Pedro: big, romantic, and built for a photo. On a beach on the island of Oahu, Pedro knelt under a heart-shaped arch of red roses, beside an illuminated sign reading “Will You Marry Me?” — with a bouquet of red roses and a pear-shaped diamond ring handcrafted by Diamondboi Designs.
The couple announced the engagement on June 23, 2026, to TLC viewers. “Me and Valentina, we got a big, big announcement to tell you because we are engaged! And we are going to get married,” Pedro said. “We want to plan the wedding very soon.” He said Valentina “came into my life as an answer,” and told PEOPLE that with her, he learned that “peace has a name.”

If there is one thing Pedro and Valentina openly disagree about, it is where to get married. Pedro admitted it on camera when he announced the engagement: she wants the wedding in Colombia, he wants it in the Dominican Republic, and the United States is always an option too. The location fight decides whose family can show up, and whether TLC cameras follow.
“Very soon” has now stretched into five months, and as of November 11, 2026, no wedding date has been publicly confirmed. No venue, no guest list — nothing beyond the disagreement itself.
The Baptism, the Blessing, and Lidia’s Silence
In early October 2026, Pedro and Valentina were baptized together, sharing their faith as a couple before any wedding. It was the most serious step the couple has taken in public since the engagement — a sign the wedding is real, just unscheduled.
Then there is the one person whose approval Pedro has stopped waiting for: he will marry Valentina with or without Lidia’s blessing, and as of now his mother has not given it. Is Pedro finally free of her shadow, or repeating history with a new bride?
What We Still Don’t Know: Four Blanks on the Wedding Checklist
The known list: the proposal, the ring, the baptism, the location split. The unknown list: the date, the venue, the guest list, and whether TLC films any of it.
The last public move came on October 21, 2026, when TV Season & Spoilers reported Pedro had reposted his Hawaii proposal — four days after Chantel married Ashley Bowen. Pedro never said the repost was about Chantel, but the timing made it the latest round of the second-wedding race: Chantel crossed her finish line on October 17, and Pedro’s still has no date on it.
Pedro has promised Valentina a wedding with or without his mother’s blessing. So if it finally lands in Colombia, does Lidia stay home and prove the doubters right, or show up and steal the day?
