Four years after one of the messiest divorces in 90 Day Fiancé history, Chantel Everett and Pedro Jimeno have both found someone new. She is married. He is engaged. Yet fans still cannot agree on the question that matters now: who actually won the split?
The argument exploded again in late October, when Pedro reposted his Hawaii proposal to Valentina Malagon just days after Chantel married Ashley Bowen. Pedro has not said the repost was about Chantel, so any jealousy theory is fan speculation only. Here is the scorecard, round by round.
The Scoreboard Right Now: Married vs. Engaged
On paper, Chantel is ahead. PEOPLE confirmed she married music artist Ashley Bowen on October 17, 2026, at Fountainview Mansion in Auburn, Alabama, in front of about 60 guests.
Pedro is one step behind. He proposed to Valentina Malagon, a Colombian psychologist, on June 6, 2026, on a beach in Oahu, Hawaii, under a heart-shaped arch of red roses, and announced the engagement on June 23. He told PEOPLE that with Valentina, he learned “peace has a name.” But an engagement is a promise and a wedding is a finish line, and as of late October 2026, no wedding date for Pedro and Valentina has been publicly confirmed. Round one: Chantel.
Careers: The Nurse Injector vs. The Realtor
Chantel never left the spotlight, but she built something outside it too. A registered nurse since 2020, she now works as a nurse injector at a beauty bar in Sandy Springs, Georgia. Reddit fans praised her for having “a legitimate career that she worked for herself.” Add her 90 Day: Hunt for Love return, where her coming-out story became a season highlight, and Chantel wins the fame round outright.
Pedro chose the opposite comeback: real estate agent in Georgia, plus a 90 Day: The Single Life season 5 return where viewers met Valentina. If winning means a career that does not need a camera crew, Pedro has a case. If it means staying famous, Chantel takes it. Round two: a draw.

This round splits the fandom hardest, because it depends on what “winning” means. Chantel rebuilt in full public view: a televised coming-out journey, a castle proposal on December 17, 2025, and a fairy-tale wedding covered by PEOPLE.
Pedro rebuilt the other way. After filing for divorce in May 2022, following nearly six years of marriage, he stepped back from the weekly storyline machine and kept his relationship largely low-key. Valentina told the Tell All she slid into his DMs after seeing him in Colombia. If peace beats applause, Pedro wins this round, and for many fans, this is the round that matters most.
The Repost That Restarted the Fan War
Then came the repost. On October 21, 2026, TV Season & Spoilers reported Pedro had reposted his proposal to Valentina, nearly seven months after first sharing it, shortly after Chantel’s wedding. His original caption thanked God for putting Valentina on his path. He gave no explanation, and he has not said it was connected to Chantel.
One camp reads it as simple affection; the other reads it as a message: look, I moved on too. Only Pedro knows. But the scorecard stands: Chantel leads on love and fame, Pedro leads on peace and life outside TV. So you decide: Team Chantel, for the wedding, the career and the comeback in full view, or Team Pedro, for the quiet rebuild and the peace he says finally has a name? Vote in the comments, and tell us which round decided it for you.
