Chantel and Pedro Jimeno might be divorcing, but The Family Chantel fans believe that Chantel and her family can continue to carry the show.

Pedro and Chantel Jimeno’s divorce could spell the end of The Family Chantel, but many fans of the 90 Day Fiancé spin-off show are hoping to see it continue in a different direction. Chantel and Pedro rose to fame after 90 Day Fiancé season 4 and are currently starring in the fourth season of their spin-off show, which also features members of both of their families. Although Chantel and Pedro’s relationship can no longer be the focus of the show given their divorce, many The Family Chantel fans believe Chantel should be allowed to continue without her ex-husband.

Chantel and Pedro’s relationship has always been rife with drama, as her family was notoriously opposed to her marriage to the Dominican Republic native. While Chantel’s family came to accept Pedro, his family never welcomed her in. The show has focused on the evolving marriage between the couple, which has sadly led to a messy divorce initiated by Pedro after five years of marriage. Pedro’s mother, Lidia Jimeno, and sister Nicole Jimeno appear in the Dominican Republic plotlines, while Nicole’s on-again-off-again boyfriend, Alejandro Padron, also makes appearances on the show. Meanwhile, Chantel’s siblings Riverknight and Winter Everett, and her parents, Karen and Thomas Everett, currently appear in segments as well.

Chantel and Pedro’s marriage has been at the heart of The Family Chantel, but many viewers would like to see the show continue with just Chantel and her family. Fans have overwhelmingly taken Chantel’s side in the divorce, as they witnessed the cruel way Pedro and his family have treated her. While Chantel’s family can be overprotective, many viewers recognize that they have a loving and kind relationship with each other that could simply benefit from some boundaries. However, Pedro, Lidia, and Nicole appear to have a true mean streak that viewers no longer find entertaining to watch. This has caused many viewers to voice that they skip the segments filmed in the Dominican Republic and would prefer to see TLC remove Pedro and his villainous family from future content.

One direction that The Family Chantel fans would love to see the show take is in line with another franchise spin-off, 90 Day: The Single Life. Chantel is widely regarded as one of the great beauties in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, while she also has demonstrated maturity and growth. Many viewers would love to see Chantel dating and seeking love again. However, she isn’t the only single family member. Chantel’s fan-favorite younger sister Winter is currently dating on The Family Chantel season 4, while her brother Riverknight is also single. Fans of the Everett family have voiced the possibility that the future seasons of the show could focus on the dating lives of the siblings, while Karen and Thomas vet their potential romantic partners.

It is currently uncertain if The Family Chantel will be renewed for a fifth season on TLC. However, many 90 Day Fiancé fans are invested in the fallout between Chantel and Pedro since it appears real and raw. Viewers have overwhelmingly urged TLC to cease casting the Jimeno family, as Nicole and Lidia have been longtime franchise villains, and many fans are appalled that Pedro has followed in their footsteps. However, The Family Chantel fans still feel that there is more of Chantel’s story left to tell, especially now that the Atlanta beauty is single.
