EXCLUSIVE: ’90 Day Boyfriend: Another Way’ Stars First Reveal New Home in France After Leaving US to Save Their Marriage

Love at first sight and cold feet are common in relationships—and real estate—as the two stars of the hit TV series “90 Day Fiance: The Other Way” quickly learned when they bought their first home in France.

Manon and Anthony Berryman are among six couples talking about their US exit on the hit TLC spinoff series, which is a spin-off of the original “90 Day Fiance” show.

In the case of the French native and her American husband, the move to Europe was not without a hitch—especially after Manon committed to starting their life together in Los Angeles after tying the knot with local Californian Anthony five years ago.

However, after the couple welcomed their son, Benthe pressures of parenthood while pursuing success in the US caused the new mom and digital marketing coach to burn out, and she found herself in dire need of a fresh start.

“The American dream is killing me,” Manon admitted earlier, prompting stepfather Anthony to admit, “So we’re moving to France to save our marriage.”

At the beginning of Season 7, which premiered in September, the couple will see a stone farmhouse worth $421,000 in a small village in the southeast of La Provence Verte. Although Manon and Anthony didn’t end up buying that property, they submitted a winning bid for another house in the same area.

Now, in an exclusive clip from the upcoming episode titled “Adios,” the Berrymans document the first moment they return to their new home as its rightful owners, marking a true new beginning for their family.

Anthony is seen driving through a neighborhood full of one-story houses with warm terra-cotta tile roofs when he takes up residence in a two-story cream house with oxblood-colored windows on the exterior windows.

“Here is our house on the corner, our house, our house!” he exclaims as he tells his son, “We are at home, Benjamin!

The joyous homecoming is interrupted for a moment as Anthony nearly hits a concrete pillar as he moves the car off the narrow road and onto the unpaved road that extends beyond a strong arched gate.

“Oh my God!” shouted Manon before Anthony made the mistake of “first jitters” with his poor judgment of the place.

Despite the near misses, Anthony is very happy with the way things are going for his family, and says the only remaining concern is whether or not Manon has warmed up.

“It’s really nice to go to our new house, and it’s good that things are starting to go well for us, but I just hope that her buyer’s remorse will end because, historically in our relationship, if Manon is not happy, no one is happy,” explained Anthony.

As the Berrymans drive into the property to park under the carport, it is clear that the homeowners have some work ahead of them to renovate and maintain the property. For example, there is an exterior wall that is painted, but not yet painted to match the rest of the building.

None of this seems to dampen the joy of the family as they pass through the metal gate and enter the house through the glass door.

“Go into your house, bud,” Anthony ordered, while Manon added more joy to her son and hers.

“Come on, Ben, yeah, here we go, woo hoo!” he shouted between bursts of laughter.

Beautiful stonework is present on the exterior and interior walls, but perhaps the most eye-catching feature upon entering is the curved floating stairs set into the wall that opens to the kitchen.

The proverbial heart of the home is anchored by warm-toned hardwood floors and cabinets adorned with dark hardware. There is a whimsical scallop detail along the ceiling where simple pendant lights are focused.

The beauty that exists receives Anthony’s full approval.

“This feels amazing,” he says. “We’re home.”

As the three continue to tour the floor plan together, each of them expresses satisfaction with what they see inside, and beyond the walls of their new abode.

“Look, Ben!” calls out to Manon, to whom Anthony again directs, “Look at that view.”

Lots of stoneware, built-in cabinets, and some sconces round out the bright kitchen area.

Meanwhile, the versatile bathroom is featured with a small overhead light, a simple rectangular mirror, and a bowl-like sink that sits atop a wooden vanity.

Outside, there is a wide lawn dotted with mature trees, while the area around the building is empty.

Anthony grabs Ben and walks down the hall with a smile while Manon gives her official approval.

“Good idea, love me,” he agrees. “Finally, here we are at home, home sweet home. Yes, it’s beautiful. I love it.”

After the scene, Manon shared that Anthony fell in love with the house when he saw it for the first time and fell in love with his plans for the place.

“When we visited the house, Anthony fell in love with it,” she recounts. “I saw Anthony’s eyes, like, light up. He was like, ‘Wow, it’s so beautiful. It’s big. It’s big. The world is, like, big. I could have goats there.’ I was like, ‘Stop it. You are going too far.’ Well, anyway.”

Back at the family’s new residence, Ben is playing in the area separated by a horse wall. It continues the cream and wood theme.

“There’s someone enjoying himself in his new house,” Anthony commented.

Once again, Manon reveals the details of how they moved to this home.

He recalls: “We signed the paper right away.

Although Manon needed more time than her husband to warm to the place, she is now impressed with her change of address and is already looking forward to a happy future for her family—and hopefully her marriage.

“I love the house,” she said. “That’s true. I love the house. It’s very beautiful. Yes, yes, mother is right. Yes, I’ll make it work, and I’ll make it mine. Better, better.”

“90 Day Fiance: The Other Way” airs Mondays at 8pm on TLC.
