In an October 2023 episode of Thekikipodcast, just a week before Loren left to meet Faith in the Philippines, he made it clear that his main goal was to make money from being on the show. He stated that he intended to play up the drama for the cameras and knew how to push Faith's buttons. "I get paid more the more ridiculousness I do," he began. "The plan is to be as dramatic as possible, as this girl in the Philippines is so jealous that it will be super easy. I can snap my fingers and walk out, making her pissed off." He also revealed that he only had a one-way ticket as he didn't "have the money to get home." "If I get stuck there, I get stuck there," he said. "Life goes on."

Options for Loren's Future Wives

Loren noted that finding a wife wouldn't be a challenge for him as he had options. He said his preference was to stay in the Philippines but was also considering returning to the United States. "Either I'm gonna marry this girl in America, which means I'm gonna go with my family in Washington. That means either I sell my moped and take the plane straight from the Philippines to Washington if she's not what I'm looking for. Or I go to the Philippines and meet someone else," he said. He continued, seemingly indicating that he didn't want to marry Faith, a transgender woman. "I'm hoping I can marry a regular girl and have 'ladyboys' on the side and live in the Philippines forever. But if I can't do that, I'll go back to Vegas and marry this girl named Wendy or this girl named Aliko, and that would be it."

Personal Encounters and Infidelity

The same week he appeared on the podcast, Loren revealed that days earlier he had sex with "a fully transitioned trans girl" before leaving to meet Faith. "She was amazing," he said. "We were supposed to have a threesome, but it didn't happen. We had flakes, two flakes. Yeah. I'll meet her again though."

Faith's Reactions and Their Journey

Fans have been following Loren and Faith's journey as their season of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days airs. So far, Loren has dropped several bombshells on Faith, including his STD diagnosis and his infidelity. In the Nov. 17 episode, he told her, "So, we can't kiss." Stunned, Faith asked why she couldn't be intimate with him before he finally revealed, "Well, I have gonorrhea." She later opened up to her sisters, saying she broke up with Loren "because he had sex with others." In her confessional, Faith said, "I still want to be respected and loved. And I don't want to settle with someone who cheats just because I am trans." She added, "If someone loves me, then he should be able to respect me." However, in a Dec. 15 episode, the pair got engaged after reconciling. Loren admitted that "we've had some ups and downs." Adding, "in order for us to plan our next steps together, I need to propose to her." "Ideally, tomorrow, we will meet with an immigration lawyer so we can come up with a plan to get married ASAP," he explained in his confessional.90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days airs on Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on TLC.
