"90 Day Fiance" stars Chantel Everett and Pedro Jimeno opened up about how they’re getting along under coronavirus quarantine, as well as their plans for a future together.
The couple’s fiery relationship was a highlight of Season 4 and even spawned a TLC spinoff of their own titled "The Family Chantel." Ahead of their appearance on "90 Day Fiance: Self-Quarantined," which premiered Monday, they opened up to ETOnline about how their already strained relationship is doing while they’re forced to self-isolate together amid the coronavirus pandemic.

HOW DID THE CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK START?
‘You can’t go anywhere," Pedro joked.

Chantel now says that, although they’ve worked through a lot of their trust issues, the quarantine is actually helping them keep some perspective.

"Yeah, I trust Pedro. I trust him," she explained. "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."
Pedro pushed back to that statement a little, noting that it was from a different time in their relationship.

"He can say it, but I mean ... I do hope you've learned from your mistakes," Chantel reportedly shot back.

"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," Chantel shared. "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."
Chantel also noted that they’re holding off on having conversations about kids until they feel they’ve got a firm grip on their at-home and family issues.

"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," she continued. "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."
