Everything We Know About Richard and Kathleen from 90 Day Fiance UK

The intriguing TV show “90 Day Fiance: UK” on TLC gives us a glimpse into the lives of British people considering cross-border romances with foreigners. Cross-border relationships can be difficult because people deal with marked differences in conventions, cultures, customs and lives. In addition, it is also quite challenging to adapt to a new environment when you travel abroad to work on your relationship. It’s intriguing to see how each couple chooses to approach their problems in their own way, with cameras putting every action and their future on the line.

Richard, a native of Preston, Lancashire, and Kathleen, his Filipino girlfriend, were first seen in season one of ’90 Day Fiance: UK’. We found out that Kathleen has always been very jealous of her boyfriend’s female companions, despite Richard saying that he preferred a traditional girl over a trendy one. Fans wanted to know more about this intriguing duo, but the UK native confessed that he enjoys performing some light flirtations even when in a relationship. Here’s all the information we have about Richard and Kathleen.

Where are Richard and Kathleen from?

Richard, who was 41 at the time of filming, lives in Preston, Lancashire, where he hosts quiz shows for a job and even runs a pop quiz empire that sells his software around the world. Although Richard was portrayed as single in a small house, he admitted that he often felt quite lonely and always longed to meet someone who would prepare meals, do the cleaning and keep him company.

But based on the appearance, the British resident seemed very friendly and preferred a partying lifestyle. Richard even mentioned that he and his friends went out to party pretty much every night and ended up at a kebab shop before taking a taxi home. In addition, he seemed particularly interested in anything unusual and observed having fun in a nudist pub in Lancashire.

While Kathleen, 32, lived with her parents and younger brother in Cebu City, Philippines, she is actually from that city. As the eldest, Kathleen claimed to take on most of the family’s responsibilities and even occasionally cooks for them. In addition, her family wanted her to run their family-run store and serve customers all day long.

How did Richard and Kathleen meet?

Interestingly, Kathleen said she had no plans to meet anyone outside the Philippines, but serendipity led her to find Richard on a global dating app. Richard, on the other hand, claimed he was tired of dating English women and wished for a traditional partner for marriage. Then he discovered Kathleen’s profile on the same international dating app, and the two struck up a conversation.

Of course, Kathleen’s family was very wary of Richard at first because they didn’t know what he was up to with the Filipino-American. But as Kathleen and Richard grew closer, her family became more accepting of the British man, and they even welcomed him when he decided to fly to the Philippines to spend a few days with the love of his life. It was interesting to hear from Richard that at the time of filming he and Kathleen had been dating for about four years and were very serious about getting married. However, their love was often hindered by his tendency to flirt and her jealousy.

Richard and Kathleen: prospects for the future

Kathleen fits well with Richard’s ideal of a traditional girl – someone who cooks for him, takes care of him and isn’t afraid to clean up after him. Although Richard and Kathleen give a positive first impression, their relationship can eventually suffer from the Filipino’s jealousy and Kathleen’s penchant for innocent flirtation from the UK.

For starters, Richard said he liked being himself and wouldn’t change for anyone in the world, contrary to Kathleen’s request that her boyfriend behave decently and not make advances towards other women. Richard even acknowledged that once Kathleen arrived in the UK, they would be in trouble. However, we think that the couple will be able to overcome their disagreements and strive for a bright future because of their love and affection for each other.
