It’s the end for another couple in the 90 Day Fiance universe.
90 Day Fiance: The Other Way season five star TJ Goswami seemingly broke up with his wife, Kimberly Rochelle, over Instagram Saturday then shut down his account. The pair have been together since 2021, first dating long-distance, then living with each other for short periods of time in the United States and India.
In response to TJ’s now-deleted post, Kimberly gave her account of the events leading to the split. She also accused TJ of threatening to kill himself if she left him and, on one occasion punching her in the face.
“Bye forever!” TJ wrote in the caption of a picture of cut-up photographs of their wedding. (We can assume by TJ’s caption that the wedding photos were cut up by Kimberly). “You always hate this. Finally, you showed and tore everything apart. I told you not to do this number of time, you never like these pictures but there was no reason to tore these. Wish someday somewhere you find someone who will treat the way you treated me.
“You never appreciated the thing I did,” TJ’s post, which was shared by @shabootydotcom, continued. “God knows how much I did just to make you happy but eventually it’s proved you can never be satiated. Never!
“I hope nobody ever have to feel this way, when your efforts, care and dreams go wasted like this,” TJ’s post concluded.
Kimberly spent much of early Sunday posting to Instagram about the split. In a lengthy live video she detailed arguments the couple had been having over the last few weeks and talked about cutting up the photographs shown in TJ’s post.
“I did not destroy all of the pictures with TJ,” she said. “I destroyed some from our wedding album where my name was misspelled, and that’s not an excuse, but I do feel like that was a representation of our marriage, how my name can’t even be spelled right on that day that was supposedly supposed to be one of the happiest days of our life but in all actuality that was one of the worst days of my life, and every time that I see these pictures, I’m reminded that I will never get respect enough to be told what’s going on, I will never get the things that I want in the relationship and always have to settle.”
Kimberly’s previous Instagram posts about the wedding showed her disappointment in how the day went.
“No matter how I felt this wedding day, I went home with a smile on my face because of this man right here,” she wrote in on wedding post nearly a year ago.
According to Kimberly, who’s been living with her husband and his family in India, she and TJ had gotten into a pattern where they would have an argument in their part of the family home then he would disappear downstairs for several days, then the two would reconcile, fight, and the cycle would restart.
“I’m not innocent here,” she said. “Neither of us are innocent here. It takes two to tango, it takes two to fight … and in order to make a relationship work you need both people to cooperate, both people to communicate, and at this point neither of us were doing that.”
Arguments between the two did escalate on more than one occasion, Kimberly claimed in the video. In one incident, she alleged that TJ threatened to kill himself and said that if he did, she would be blamed for it. Another time, Kimberly alleged that TJ punched her in the face and she hit him back in response.
Throughout the marriage, Kimberly said she’s been keeping notes in order to write a book about the experience. She also said was making videos for her YouTube channel about the relationship that she planned to release later this year.
Despite all this trouble in the relationship, Kimberly said TJ would not go to counseling and would not grant her a divorce. She did announce in the video that she was making a pre-planned trip back home to the United States and thought the space would be good for both herself and her husband.
“I don’t think either of us are happy right now,” she said.
TJ has not yet responded publicly to Kimberly’s claims of domestic violence.
Just five days ago, the couple presented themselves as happy relationship experts in a video on her YouTube channel that you can watch below.

“Back in 2003, Kimberly’s posts about the wedding showed her disappointment in how the day went.”
I’d be disappointed too if I had to time travel for my wedding posts 😂
She’s awful and only wanted things her way. They were doomed to fail because of her
They forced this relationship so this was inevitable. Both had issues and were incompatible. I do think they can be happy elsewhere. She was a hot head, but I kinda dug that about her lol. Cultures are a tough thing to blend. Not saying it’s impossible, but there has to be a willingness to compromise and often times it’s “my way” with these couples.
Totally agree. They seemed incompatible from the start.
Shocker!!
