Which Couples From ‘The Family Chantel’ Are Still Together? Chantel, Pedro and More

Thomas and Karen

Thomas and Karen Everett got married on March 6, 1991, in Georgia. During their marriage, they welcomed four children together: son Royal, daughter Chantel, daughter Winter, and son River.

The couple is still going strong and shared their secret to a successful marriage.

“We’ve been married for 37 years and we keep our love spicy,” Thomas gushed in his confessional during an August 2022 episode of The Family Chantel.

Karen revealed how they keep the spark alive. “We do date night all the time — we go every week!” she gushed.

Winter and Jah

Even though she was a part of Chantel’s story line on 90 Day Fiancé, fans got to learn more about Winter on season 1 of The Family Chantel. Winter had been dating Jah off and on for seven years but mom Karen and sister Chantel insisted that they still didn’t know much about him so they hired a private investigator to dig into his past.

The shocking results of the investigation revealed that Jah, who had already told Winter about his youngest child, was hiding the fact that he also had an older child from Winter. It caused a rough patch in their relationship, but Winter and Jah eventually continued their relationship.

On season 3 of The Family Chantel, Winter and Jah took the next step in their relationship and got engaged. However, shortly after their engagement, Jah proposed Winter with a lifestyle change as part of his religion and it led to their permanent breakup.

“He asked me a question. He said, ‘What would you feel if your daughter was in a polygamous relationship?” Winter told her family and they reacted in disbelief. “I asked him, I said, ‘Why are you asking me this? Do you want a polygamous relationship?’ And he said , No.’ And then, by that time I was just like a bit drained and I was just tired of listening. And then he was like, ‘Well, you’re not bound! You can go!’ And then he said it again and I was just like, ‘OK.’”

Chantel and Pedro

When they returned for season 4 of The Family Chantel, Chantel and Pedro’s relationship had hit a major rough patch. Chantel believed that the issues in their marriage started after they returned from a trip to the Dominican Republic — which ended in a blowout fight between Chantel, sister Winter and mom Karen and Pedro’s mother and sister, Lidia and Nicole.

The couple had also experienced major life milestones too, as Chantel had finally graduated nursing school and was working a job in her field, the couple had just purchased their first house and Pedro started a new career working in real estate. While it should have been an exciting time in the couple’s marriage, it seemed to mark the beginning of the end as they fought over communication issues. Chantel complained that Pedro was too focused on his work and didn’t spend quality time with her while Pedro insisted that Chantel was not being supportive of him and his dreams.

Unfortunately, their marital issues reached a point of no return. Pedro filed for divorce on May 27, 2022, according to documents obtained by In Touch.

River and Megan

River’s season 3 story line on The Family Chantel was more focused on his love life. He had met a woman named Megan Montenegro and he was absolutely smitten with her — so much that he decided to introduce her to his mom, Karen, and sister Chantel. Karen and Chantel had concerns about River’s relationship with Megan because of their five-year age gap and because of the fact that Megan was a single mother.

Unfortunately, those factors eventually led to Megan and River’s split. Megan broke up with River because she felt she was not at a point in her life where she was able to dedicate time to a romantic relationship.

Nicole and Alejandro

Nicole played a big part of her brother Pedro’s story line on both 90 Day Fiancé and The Family Chantel as she and her mother would often team up and go head to head against Pedro’s wife, Chantel. Throughout the first several seasons, Nicole did not have a romantic interest but that changed on season 2 when she introduced her long-distance boyfriend, Alejandro Padron.

Alejandro is originally from the Dominican Republic but had moved to New York City. They met several years prior at a party with mutual friends but reconnected via Instagram and started dating in 2019. Unfortunately, Nicole’s mother, Lidia, did not like Alejandro after meeting him for the first time because she felt he was not good enough for her daughter. Lidia’s disapproval of Alejandro intensified after she learned that Alejandro was separated but still legally married to his first wife.

Despite the drama, Nicole and Alejandro continued to date but their relationship hit a rough patch when Nicole found out that Alejandro had been messaging other women on social media. Alejandro admitted to chatting with other women, but he insisted their conversations were not inappropriate. The drama led the couple to split briefly in 2021.

However, Alejandro arranged to return to the Dominican Republic to win back Nicole and she eventually agreed to reconcile their relationship. During that trip, Nicole became pregnant but she suffered a devastating miscarriage just several weeks later.

Alejandro rushed to the Dominican Republic to support Nicole after the pregnancy loss, and he also brought along proof that his divorce had been finalized. Happy with the new development, Nicole felt that her mother would finally accept him so they went back to the apartment Nicole and her mother share to reveal the good news — but Lidia still did not change her mind about Alejandro.

It’s unclear if Nicole and Alejandro are still together, but Nicole did wish her former boyfriend a “Happy Birthday” via her Instagram Stories in September 2022. The pair still follow each other on the platform, as of September 27, 2022. 

Royal and Angenette

Royal made his reality TV debut on season 3 of The Family Chantel. Chantel’s oldest brother had just moved back to Georgia after spending many years in Texas while away at school. After moving back to his home state, Royal joined the show with his wife, Angenette, and the couple had gotten married just a few months before filming.

Royal and Angenette’s love story was very similar to Chantel and Pedro. Royal and Angenette met online and were in a long-distance relationship, as Angenette is originally from Cagayan Valley, Philippines. After Royal and Angenette tied the knot in a courthouse wedding ceremony in the states, they documented their second, larger wedding and reception in Angenette’s hometown. Of course, drama ensued as Royal’s family distrusted Angenette’s intentions and felt that she was only marrying Royal for a green card.

However, it seems it’s all water under the bridge. Royal and Angenette welcomed their first child,  a baby boy, in December 2021 and their family has appeared to grow closer after the arrival of their bundle of joy.
