Chantel, 29, told presenter Lauren Zima: ‘Just spending quality time together has been great for us, in the midst of everything, it’s done a lot for our relationship. We have deeper conversations with one another now.’

Pedro, 28, joked that they ‘can’t escape’ during the quarantine as may of their trust issues sprung up due to a 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After episode in which Pedro got a lapdance from his sister’s best friend.

His wife explained:  ‘Right now, he can’t go anywhere. Yeah, I trust Pedro. I trust him, the only problem that’s ever been between Pedro and I in regards to trust has happened, like, when you were in the Dominican Republic, like, around your family. 

‘I trust Pedro, I just don’t trust people around him and that he’s strong enough to put his foot down for me.’

The Dominican reality star seems apologetic for his problematic past and is more than ready to move forward.

‘Now, you can trust me because we are past … like, we’re leaving this behind,’ Pedro told Chantel during the interview. ‘It’s not gonna happen again, I promise.’

His wife replied: ‘He can say it, but I mean … I do hope you’ve learned from your mistakes.’

The couple met and fell in love when Chantel took a trip to the Dominican Republic. They have since married and live in Atlanta, Georgia which was documented on season 4 of 90 Day Fiance.

The familial issues do not just apply to Pedro’s side as Chantel’s family has taken umbrage with the relationship since the very beginning as it even resulted in the first spin-off for the franchise: The Family Chantel.

Things seem just as tense as ever as Chantel said: ‘Family issues, are they ever ending? Like, they’re never ending and I feel like that’s an ongoing thing that you have to continuously work at.

‘And I mean, hopefully certain things will all just come out in the wash because you have to get over certain things and let them go, so, family is definitely still an issue for us.’

The two also revealed that they will not be adding any children to their family until they are able to find a resolution to all the drama.

Chantel said: ‘There definitely needs to be more work between me and Pedro’s family, him and my family, before we would feel comfortable with even letting our child be out of our presence with that family member, honestly.

‘For our family to be in a better place, we need to have conversations with one another, come to agreements, you know, mend fences in a way.

‘There needs to be some apologies and I feel like we can’t be civil with one another. We are not civil with one another, honestly. And I’m just waiting for that day when we can have just some common ground.’

90 Day Fiance follows long distance couples who have applied for or received the K-1 visa thus only have 90 days to marry in the US.

The couple’s adventures will continue, along with 40 other castmembers, in the upcoming spin-off, 90 Day Fiancé: Self-Quarantined which airs Monday nights at 9PM on TLC.
