90 Day Fiancé’s Corey Rathgeber Celebrates Christmas Without Evelin Villegas After She Refuses To Have Baby With Him

Corey Rathgeber from 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way reveals why he’s celebrating Christmas away from his wife, Evelin Villegas. The Washington native had a troublesome journey on the show. He faced many challenges with Evelin, including a cheating scandal, which almost ended their relationship. Fortunately, Corey managed to reconcile with Evelin in time. He married her and became a supportive husband, helping her establish multiple beachside businesses in Ecuador. In December 2024, Corey returned to the United States to spend time with his family and cousins. He met his cousins in Georgia before returning to Washington.

Recently, Corey revealed why he couldn’t celebrate Christmas 2024 with his wife, Evelin. He posted a few pictures from his home in the United States, looking happier than ever to be with his family. The 90 Day Fiancé franchise alum wrote, “back in Mill A, where I grew up,” stating that he’ll spend his time in his home country. Core added, “we got our Christmas tree and got to spend some quality time with family.” Corey’s post received many positive comments, but the one that mattered most came from Evelin, who left a red heart emoji to show love and support.

What Does Corey Celebrating Christmas Without Evelin Mean?

Corey & Evelin Have Already Enjoyed Christmas Together

Corey’s recent Instagram post suggests he will stay with his family in the United States for a while. It seems he’s enjoying his hometown and reuniting with his family members after a long time. Corey’s post also suggests that his marriage with Evelin is going well. It doesn’t seem like the Ecuadorian woman is angry at her husband for not spending the holidays with her. Rather, she’s happy to see her husband get to meet his family members and participate in family traditions this Christmas. Corey and Evelin’s relationship is likely unaffected by his Washington trip.

Over the years, Corey and Evelin have built a paradise for themselves in Ecuador. They have even achieved significant milestones, becoming a permanent part of each other’s lives. While the couple hasn’t confirmed it, Evelin’s visa delay seems to be the only reason they didn’t go to Washington together. It seems she still doesn’t have her visa, which may be why she couldn’t join her husband on his family trip. While the two won’t be together this 25th, they celebrated part of their Christmas together. In November 2024, they decorated their first Christmas tree and showcased it on social media.

Our Take On Corey Celebrating Christmas Without Evelin

Corey Had Been Apart From His Family For An Extended Period

Corey had been away from his family for a long time, traveling extensively but unable to enjoy being with his loved ones.

In December 2023, one of Corey’s brothers traveled to Ecuador to meet him for the first time in ten years. Corey was overjoyed to see him, prompting his decision to spend this Christmas with his family. While it would’ve been nice if Evelin had joined Corey, it wasn’t an issue that she couldn’t. What truly matters is that the 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way couple is in agreement about the trip and supports each other from afar.
