90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days favorite Elise Benson dropped some major tea about her parents (and trust fund!) during the Season 8 Tell All!
This season of Before the 90 Days, viewers have gotten to know Elise better than ever before. From meeting her parents to getting to see a behind-the-scenes look at her relationship with Joshua Lawson. Now that the Tell All has come to a close, fans are even more eager to learn about Elise’s dad, her relationship status, and more!
Ahead of Before the 90 Days, Elise appeared on Season 1 of 90 Day: Hunt for Love, where she briefly connected with Rob Warne. However, it’s clear that the strongest relationship from the season was her friendship with Cortney Reardanz, who has since become her 90 Day Fiancé bestie. Cortney, who is currently exploring a relationship with Colt Johnson on 90 Day: The Single Life, revealed to Swooon that she told Elise, “Now is your time to shine, and everybody can meet your family and friends and see the real you.”
During Elise’s first episode on Before the 90 Days, viewers met her parents, Beth and Woody Benson. While the duo didn’t travel with her to Australia, like fellow Season 8 star Forrest Atwood-McKenzie‘s mom, Molly, did, Elise called them via video during the most recent episode, inspiring even more curiosity about her parents.
