00:00 - You were saying, "Happy birthday on my birthday."
00:01 - Happy birthday, Kobe!
00:03 - Thank you!
00:04 I feel so honored that, you know,
00:06 you honored my invitation, my birthday.
00:08 Thank you.
00:10 - Well, my birthday's on Thursday,
00:11 so we're Libra, Libra twins.
00:13 - Yeah, it's both your parties.
00:15 - Right, right.
00:16 10 years of 90 Day Fiance.
00:18 You are fairly newbies to the franchise,
00:21 but how does it feel to be part of a franchise
00:23 that's so loved?
00:24 - Oh my gosh, you know, I was saying earlier,
00:26 like, we didn't even know how big it was
00:28 when we got into it,
00:29 and once our show aired, I'm like,
00:31 "Oh my gosh, this is so huge, so many opportunities."
00:34 And it's so cool that it's been 10 years
00:36 and it's still going, you know?
00:37 Like, we're on a lot of pillow talks,
00:38 we love pillow talk,
00:39 and it's just really fun to see all the new stories
00:42 and all the new couples,
00:43 'cause everyone's different
00:44 and everyone has a different story.
00:45 And it's really fun to just, you know,
00:48 watch their love and go up and down.
00:51 - I mean, I can say that,
00:52 despite the fact that we've been in the franchise
00:53 not for too long, just like, you know, two years ago,
00:56 but it's a beautiful place.
00:57 And for the franchise to celebrate up to the 10th season
01:01 and counting, it means it's a beautiful place, you know,
01:04 filled with so much experience and exposure as well.
01:07 - You've been using your platform to inspire people,
01:10 which I love.
01:11 You can go to Kobe's Instagram and it brightens your day.
01:14 Why is that so important to you?
01:15 - You know, when I started my motivation on Monday,
01:18 like, I'm good at talking to people.
01:20 I just feel like, you know,
01:22 I don't know everybody out there who follows me,
01:24 but I feel like if I send a message out there,
01:26 it might touch somebody deep.
01:27 And people go through a lot in life.
01:29 This is what most of us fail to understand.
01:31 And a single word of encouragement
01:34 might boast somebody's morale.
01:36 So I just feel like, let me just put it out there.
01:39 This is, I'm good at talking.
01:41 So let me just say it.
01:42 I know I'm gonna have a lot of haters.
01:44 People like, "Who the hell do you think you are?
01:46 "You're not even this, you're not even this."
01:48 But I know for sure that my message can touch somebody
01:52 who is in need of that.
01:53 And I've had a lot of people messaging me like,
01:56 "Yo man, thank you so much.
01:57 "Your message meant a lot to me."
01:59 - When I was preparing for these questions
02:00 for interviewing you, I was coming across posts
02:02 where I was like, "Oh, I needed that."
02:05 So it's working.
02:06 You're a fan favorite couple at this point.
02:09 So what's your message to the fans out there
02:11 who love you so much?
02:12 - Oh my gosh, well, thank you for your support.
02:14 You know, our season was definitely up and down.
02:17 And definitely made us stronger as a couple.
02:20 And you know, we have two beautiful children right now.
02:23 And we're just really grateful for everyone
02:25 who really genuinely loves us and our story.
02:28 And you know, we can't say thank you more than,
02:31 - Yeah, I mean.
02:32 - I don't know, I can say it a billion times.
02:33 - Thank everybody who followed the story,
02:35 the ones that encouraged us.
02:36 Like, we didn't start off very good in the franchise,
02:40 but those things, those challenges we faced
02:43 only made us stronger and made us closer together.
02:46 And at the end of the day, we focused on our priority,
02:48 which was, you know, to have a family together.
02:51 I know it comes with a lot,
02:53 but we choose not to focus on those difficulties,
02:55 those flaws.
02:56 We choose to love ourself and, you know,
02:58 have beautiful family life.
03:00 We love our kids.
03:01 Where we are today is nothing closer
03:04 to what we were when we started.
03:06 I'm just so happy that we're on a good foot.
03:08 - We've grown so much.
03:09 And Colbin and Scarlett,
03:10 they are growing in front of our eyes.
03:13 Any plans to expand the family even more?
03:16 - Yeah, when we're out of my mom's house and my dad's house.
03:18 We keep saying that, we're like, once we move out,
03:20 because you know, he comes from 10 siblings,
03:22 I come from five.
03:23 And so we do want like four or five, I think.
03:26 - We're gonna have, you know, we wanna have a big family.
03:30 And I used to, you know, growing up,
03:32 thinking I was gonna beat my dad's record.
03:33 But after seeing the reality of life, I'm like,
03:36 that's not where we beat my dad's record in the US.
03:38 If it was in Africa, would have been a whole deal.
03:41 But in the US, raising kids, man, it's something else.
03:43 - Yeah.
03:44 - Well, how is your mom and your dad?
03:45 How are they?
03:46 - They're amazing.
03:47 They're with the kids right now, but you know,
03:49 they're our number one supporters.
03:51 And they, I'm surprised they haven't kicked us out.
03:54 No, they would never do that.
03:55 But they are, I mean, we couldn't ask for anything better.
03:59 Like they are just the nicest, loving, you know,
04:03 most genuine people who would do anything for us.
04:05 I mean, my dad talked, like my dad,
04:08 every time we go somewhere, he's like,
04:08 "This is my son, Kobe."
04:09 Like they're best friends.
04:11 - He is the most simplest man I've ever met
04:14 in my entire life.
04:15 Like we don't only have the relationship of, you know,
04:18 son-in-law and father-in-law.
04:20 Now we talk like, you know, G's.
04:22 - Yeah.
04:22 - Like we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we,
04:23 - You can tell your dad does have G in him.
04:25 - Oh yeah.
04:26 - We sit and we talk and you know,
04:28 they are the highest support that we've ever had
04:30 in our relationship.
04:31 And I feel blessed to be part of the family.
04:33 Like I've had so many friends,
04:35 like so many people text me like,
04:36 "Kobe, how do you even cope with these folks?"
04:39 Like blessing comes in so many forms.
04:41 - So many forms.
04:42 In a bar in China, a blessing came.
04:45 - I tell him that all the time, probably weekly.
04:48 I'm like, "That's so crazy."
04:50 Like I saw you in a bar in China.
04:52 I'm from Kansas.
04:53 You're from Cameroon.
04:55 I went after him in the bathroom,
04:57 but he got my number first though.
04:59 And he said, "I love you first."
05:00 I'm gonna put that out there.
05:01 - It doesn't really matter who got whose number first,
05:05 but it's just so crazy how you can find true love
05:08 in crazy places.
05:08 - Yeah.
05:09 - Like, and sometimes, you know,
05:11 we shy away from true love because of the places
05:15 that you meet people, you know?
05:17 But I'm so happy that, you know, we met in a bar.
05:20 We are here today with two beautiful kids.
05:22 And who knows what the future holds.
05:25 We're just hoping for a better life together.
05:27 - There are celeb fans of 90 Day Fiance.
05:29 You have Brianna, Seth Rogen, Drake.
05:32 Have you had any interesting celeb reaction or interaction?
05:35 - Not yet.
05:37 I'm like waiting.
05:39 I like, I'm waiting for Ashley Graham to sign my inbox.
05:41 I know she wants to visit you.
05:43 - Yeah.
05:44 - I love her.
05:45 - I don't know.
05:46 - Not yet though.
05:46 - Not yet.
05:47 - But we have more of a story to tell.
05:48 So maybe in the future, you know.
05:50 - We can expect to see you back on our screen soon.
05:53 - You know, we're on Pillow Talk,
05:54 but there might be a little more something coming up.
05:57 - I mean, we are really open to share as much as we can.
05:59 - Yeah.
06:00 - You know, we already, we already out there.
06:01 Our life is already vulnerable.
06:03 There are people who loves us.
06:04 There are people who hate us.
06:05 But at the end of the day,
06:07 we are just happy to do what we do.
06:09 And we're happy to be in a franchise.
