Who Is ‘90 Day Fiance’ Star Kalani’s Boyfriend Dallas Nuez? Meet Her ‘Hall Pass’
90 Day Fiancé star Kalani Faagata was introduced to fans while she pursued a romance with her husband, Asuelu Pulaa. However, she revealed she developed feelings for another man named Dallas Nuez during season 1 of 90 Day: The Last Resort. So, who is Dallas, what do we know about his relationship with Kalani and where is he from?
Who Is ‘90 Day Fiance’ Star Kalani’s Boyfriend, Dallas?
Dallas currently works as a security guard and is licensed by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services, In Touch can confirm.
Not much else is known about Dallas, who currently isn’t active on social media. However, a source told The Sun in July 2023 that things were serious between Kalani and Dallas. He has reportedly met the TLC star’s family and they plan to “move in together.”
How Long Has ‘90 Day Fiance’ Star Kalani Been Dating Dallas?
Fans began to suspect that there was a new man in Kalani’s life when she started posting photos of Dallas via Instagram in December 2022. While she never confirmed the identity of her new boyfriend, fans knew the man in her photos wasn’t Asuelu due to Dallas’ tattooed arms.
“Happy birthday to my g,” she captioned one photo while out for drinks, while the following slide included a snapshot of Dallas’ heavily tattooed hand holding a beer. The hand appeared again in another photo in January. Months later, in August, Kalani seemingly finally showed Dallas’ face — or at least half of it — in her profile picture on Instagram.
Did ‘90 Day Fiance’ Star Kalani Cheat On Asuelu With Dallas?
During an August 2023 episode of 90 Day: The Last Resort, Kalani revealed she and Asuelu were working to fix their relationship after they struggled with infidelity.
The California native explained during a couples’ therapy session that she learned Asuelu cheated on her after he contracted thrush on his tongue during a trip to his native Samoa. Asuelu insisted he only kissed the other woman, though Kalani later found out he was offered oral sex and accepted.
After Kalani caught Asuelu, he said she could have a “hall pass” and kiss another man. She took him up on the offer and the kiss ultimately escalated to oral sex and then actual sex. While Kalani admitted to having sex with another man, she also revealed that she developed feelings for him.
“I never meant to stay in touch with this guy, but I’m also not the type of person that can sleep with someone and just forget about it,” she said in a confessional during the August 14 episode. “I’m torn because I really want to make my marriage work with Asuelu but I also can’t seem to bring myself to forgive him.”
Meanwhile, Asuelu admitted he had a difficult time accepting that Kalani used her hall pass. “It’s really hard because I give her the permission to go kiss somebody,” he said. “When I say that, I have trust for her that she’s not going to do that.”
Despite her feelings for Dallas, Kalani said she and her husband had to “figure out a lot of things.” She continued, “I don’t really know what to do with my marriage. I want to make it work. I just have a bunch of conflicted feelings.”
While the pair struggled to build intimacy during the retreat, Kalani later dropped the bombshell that Asuelu had not just cheated on her during that one instance in Samoa but their “entire relationship.”
“So he cheated in the beginning, he cheated when I was pregnant,” she confessed to costar Liz Woods during the October 9 episode, noting that no one knew the extent of Asuelu’s infidelity. “He cheated when I was doing his paperwork to bring him here. Uh, he tried to cheat online like a year ago. So it’s been like a steady relationship of cheating.”
After mentioning Dallas’ name for the first time on screen, she also told the San Diego native how she decided to unblock him after she saw Asuelu suspiciously deleting text messages earlier that day. “So, just feel torn, ‘cause it’s like, ‘Do I pick the person that I have kids with, that I’ve had to work so hard to even be kinds of friends?’” Kalani continued. “Or do I pick the person who came out of nowhere and made me actually believe that you know, there are nice guys out there and there are people that can love you and you don’t have to work so hard for it.”
Is ‘90 Day Fiance’ Star Kalani Still Dating Dallas?
After unblocking Dallas, Kalani revealed the next morning that Dallas then let her know “all his real feelings” and flew out to the Florida resort.
“So, he texted me to come see him and I spent the night there,” the mom of two confessed to the group of women while on a girls’ day away from their husbands.
Kalani seemingly confirmed that she and Dallas are still together when she changed her Instagram photo to a selfie that allegedly included half of Dallas’ face in late August. By October, they were Instagram official.
“I waited a year for this,” Kalani wrote over a photo of Dallas, just one day after she and Asuelu split on the final episode of 90 Day: The Last Resort.
What Does ‘90 Day Fiance’ Star Kalani’s Boyfriend Dallas Look Like?
Dallas revealed his face for the first time while posting a selfie with a friend and three children via his Instagram Stories on October 31.
He continued to share details about himself while participating in a Q&A via his Instagram Stories on November 2. When one person asked if he was Samoan, Dallas said he wasn’t. “My family is from Kahuku, Hawai’i and Ormoc, Leyte in the Philippines,” he explained.
“But my stepmom’s family is Samoan/Mexican/Filipino. We ate good growing up Lmfao,” Dallas shared.
He also revealed that he was 28 at the time of the Q&A.
