It’s official:Kim MenziesandUsman “Sojaboy” Umarare engaged!
On Sunday night’s episode of90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, 52-year-old Kim popped the question to a giddy Usman, 33. It was a moment they both said they’ll remember for the rest of their lives, but the engagement high wouldn’t last too long — Usman was scheduled to meet a potential second wife first thing the next morning.
Usman joined her on the sofa where Kim expressed her deep love — despite the fact they still didn’t have his family’s blessing to wed.
“Regardless of anything that happens, I want you to know that I’m always gonna be here,” Kim said while down on one knee. “I’m not going anywhere.”

Usman accepted the proposal and put on a ring Kim had bought, telling her: “If marrying you is what to make you happy in this life, I’m ready to marry you. I never expected this. I will repeat and say, ‘Yes, yes, yes, yes.'”
An emotional Usman later said in a confessional interview it was one of the most special moments of his life. “When Kimberly goes down on one knee, it’s not my culture — but it’s beautiful. She’s trying to show me how much she love me, and how she’s ready to do to me regardless of anything that’s going to happen,” he said. “I have to accept it. It’s something touching, actually.”
He added, “Look at how she take so much time decorating the whole house. It’s so romantic, and I feel loved.”
Though Kim and Usman were on cloud nine following the proposal, Kim was very aware Usman would bemeeting a younger womanin the morning. He reassured her that she’d remain important to him. There was also the lingering idea that they’d have to,again, wish for his mother’s blessing— though, as of the proposal, Kim was still only allowed to wed Usman if he married someone younger first.
During the episode, Kim’s family expressed concern, too. In a FaceTime call with her son, Jamal, Kim shared her boundary — that she’ll only marry Usman if she can be the first wife (who, according to Usman’s culture, has the most respect.) Kim previously agreed to allow Usman a second wife solely for the purpose of bearing children.
Kim’s son wasn’t too sure of his mother’s plan. “I don’t even know how you feel comfortable with that,” he told his mom. “Especially seeing how things worked out with my dad.”
Later, he asked, “What’s the point of being a first wife?”
“Because I love him,” Kim responded.
Next week’s episode promises to see Usman meet his potential, younger wife. From the preview, it doesn’t look like Usman will walk away completely committed to Kim — that is, if asking for her phone number is any consolation how he feels about the new, possible bride.
