He felt it was more important for him to find a way to earn a better income and bring their dog, Jojo, to Indonesia. James and Meitalia had an Indonesian wedding ceremony during their time in the country. Unfortunately, thewedding didn’t resolve many issues and left them confused about their future.
Moreover, Tatha and James struggled with money. James wasn’t going to make anything significant helping working in her family’s banana chip business. They left behind an over $700 a month car payment in America.
Meitalia & James Presented Together & Happy
For A While
James and Meitalia were still together when they completed their journey on the show, even though James traveled back to America to work and provide for Tatha. They still had several problems to work through, including their differing opinions on starting a family, their plans for the future in Indonesia, and their backup plan for returning to the United States.
Ultimately, they found a way to make their marriage work. They returned to the United States and found a way to improve their relationship. Over the following months, James and Meitaliatraveled across the United States, sharing photos from new locations such as Death Valley, Las Vegas, Florida, and Nevada.
James and Meitalia’s social media posts suggested that they had been traveling all across the United States after living in Indonesia.

Tatha Slammed James Online
The Two Appear Broken Up
In early July 2025,90 Day Fiancéfan account@kikiandkibbitzshared screenshots from James and Tatha’s Instagram pages. Tatha instigated an ugly exchange when she changed her bio to say, “My ex bf @james_90day.“Then, Tatha shared two posts with pointed messages seemingly directed at James.
“No matter how much it hurts today, losing someone who doesn’t have for respect for you isn’t a loss.”
“When someone breaks their most fundamental promise, they don’t deserve to remain in your life.”
James had a response to Tatha’s public outburst. He shared an image of himself standing alone with a serious caption. He also has the comments turned off on the post.
“Think about your actions and think about the consequences. Nothing is worth losing someone that truly loves you.”
The Instagram exchange all but confirms that Tatha and James are, at the very least, experiencing immense struggles and that James isn’t happy Tatha aired things out publicly. Neither has made an official breakup statement, but Tatha doesn’t follow James anymore and they both took all their pictures together off their pages.
Will Meitalia & James' Return To The 90 Day Fiancé Franchise
The Single Life?
It doesn’t appear that Meitalia and James will return to the90 Day Fiancéfranchise. Theynever made any significant decisions, such as starting a family, and settling on a place to live, on top of their recent drama and apparent breakup. Another season of90 Day Fiancé: The Other Wayis unlikely for the pair, as living Stateside is their best option financially, whether they are together or not.
If they come out as single publicly, they each could have the opportunity to be cast members on90 Day: The Single Life. SinceHappily Ever After?season 9has already been filmed and is airing, they would be too far removed as a couple to appear inHEAseason 10.
In any case,90 Day Fiance: The Other Wayshowcased James and Tatha’s disastrous relationship, and things don’t seem to have gotten much better in the long term.
90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EDT on TLC.
