Lidia Morel Appeared On 90 Day: Love In Paradise Season 3
She Couldn’t Make Things Work With Scott Wern
Lidia left a trail of destruction before moving on to90 Day Fiancé: Love in Paradise, where she dabbled in romance with Scott Wern. DuringThe Family Chantelseason 5, years of family interference brought the good-looking couple, Pedro and Chantel, down. From the start, there were red flags. Someone close to Pedro’s family told Chantel that an evil plan had been hatched - to match Pedro with an American woman for the sake of cash and a Green Card.
Chantel, who was in love, couldn’t bring herself to believe it.
Lidia, who is five years older than Scott (they’re both in their 50s), met him on the Internet. He decided to travel to her home country, the Domnican Republic, to see if they could make their bond stronger in the “real world.” They couldn’t, but Lidia seems fine in 2024. She’s been posting a lot online and is keeping busy. Her most exciting IG highlights will be shared later in this article.
As for Chantel, she learned her lesson. After tangling with Lidia, Nicole and Pedro for years, she had to accept that her marriage was over. Before his exit and after, Pedro was scarily cold, which seemed to freak Chantel out.She was heartbroken and forced to confront a man who was like a block of ice, as seen in the money-minded meetup scene shown in the clip above.
Lidia disrespected Chantel continually and Pedro let it happen. Nicole planted seeds of doubt, letting Chantel know that Pedro was close toNicole’s best friend, Coraima Morla. Pedro left Chantel, refusing to try and mend their marriage via couples counseling. He wanted out so badly that he was willing to give up reality fame to achieve that goal. Most people would think twice before basically killing a cash cow likeThe Family Chantel.He didn’t.
Lidia got a taste of her own medicine on90 Day Fiancé: Love In Paradise. Things weren’t working for Lidia and Scott, and Lidia’s daughter wasn’t happy with how her mother was being treated.Nicole morphed into the equivalent of an angry Everett family member, acting like Karen and Thomas.
Nicole unloaded on Scott on90 Day: Love In Paradise, telling him off for being mean to her mother. While Nicole often seems like a vile human being, in this instance, she was quite protective. As usual, she didn’t mince words. After telling Scott he was dishonest, she insulted him with an admittedly funny"sugar man"diss, as seen below:
“You want to be a sugar man when you have 50 years or more? You know the only reason, a young woman can be interested in you is for money,” she told him. “Believe me, I’m young and I know that. You pay for pleasure of a woman.”
What Lidia Morel’s Up To In 2024
She’s Politically Active, Fit & Happy
Lidia’s an intense and vengeful Scorpio woman who definitely embodies a lot of the dark traits of that Sun sign, including jealousy, the need to control other people, and arrogance. However, once in a while, she shows her softer side. In the Instagram post above, Lidia enjoys a getaway in Costa Rica. This photo and caption were added on July 22, 2025, and Lidia smiled while standing in front of an active volcano.
In other posts, she hangs out with coworkers or hones her fitness at the gym. She’s in great shape and not just “for a mom” - she spends a lot of time in the gym and her figure is lean but curvy - her fitness is impressive. Lidia’s also politically active - she is helping to get a mayoral candidate elected. She has other sides to her personality that are interesting.
Are Lidia Morel and Nicole Jimeno “The Worst'?
Reddit Says Yes
Frosty, greedy, insulting and uncaring… these are the kinds of insults hurled at Lidia and her daughter Nicole. Now, Pedro’s getting the same kind of shade. In theRedditthread shown above, viaFriendlyPhilosophy23, someone with the handle u/keylimeeee wrote:
I blame these two for a lot of the downfall of this marriage. It’s scary to watch gossip and lack of communication end a marriage like this. Be careful when you are dealing with meanspirited people
Ultimately, in terms of her public image, Lidia will always be considered a villain. Yes, she’s a hardworking woman, as her Instagram shows, but she’s also perceived as someone whodecided to be a long-term “other woman” in order to access perks, including money. Nicole’s also considered a “sugar baby” although this criticism might not be totally fair. Overall, the Jimenos do seem like a greedy bunch. They’re all about cash and aren’t afraid to be overtly mean. Lidia earned her villain label fair and square onThe Family Chantel, and may have taught her children to be villains too.
