Hitch appeared on season 2 of the TLC show in 2014 where he met and later married 23-year-old Cássia Tavares.

“I don’t think I’m going to sleep at all for the next 90 days because I’m going to walk around thinking, ‘What am I going to do to keep her happy?’” Hitch had said during an episode of 90 Day Fiancé.

The duo met through Facebook while Tavares was in an online relationship with Hitch’s friend.
