Moreover, Mina discovered that Mark was still in contact with his ex-girlfriend while he was pursuing her. He seemingly dated Mina because she reminded him of Jade. Still, the couple managed to move past most of these issues as they looked forward to their wedding. For now, Mina’s mind is focused on her son Clayton’s future. Both Mark and Mina want Clayton to be the ring bearer at their wedding. However, if Clayton doesn’t make it to America in time, Mina may return home to be with him, a choice that could drive a wedge between her and Mark.

Where Is Mina From?

Mina’s Past Is A Mystery

Mark makes a living flying privately-owned jets and has transported several prominent figures, including former Presidents George H.W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton, as well as former Vice President Kamala Harris. In the premiere episode of 90 Day Fiancé season 11, Mark shared how he met the love of his life during one of his work trips. While in Paris in 2019, he went out for a drink to unwind and unexpectedly met someone who would change the course of his life in ways he never imagined.

“I walked into a restaurant, and there was Mina, and we kinda locked eyes.”

The fan mentioned how some viewers were wondering if Mina was really from Paris due to her accent and green passport. As per the fan, Mina did not “sound” French, and they were positive her dialect sounds identical to a region of the Ivory Coast. However, another 90 Day Fiancé viewer, Orisha_Oshun commented, “I’m from Côte d’Ivoire. She doesn’t sound like anyone from any region of my country. She sounds more like she’s from RDC (congo).” Meanwhile, Inthe_reddithole wondered if Mina was an immigrant from North Africa or West Africa and “her son’s passport issues were related to that.”

How Many Kids Does Mina Have?

Are Maria & Clayton Her Only Children?

“Mina’s really happy to come to America but the other day we got some news that’s making it really hard for us to be excited about it.”

Maria spent the first two years of her life in Paris before moving to the U.S. with Mina to live with Mark. She was expected to be joined by her stepbrother, Clayton, at Mark’s home. Mark explained that Mina had Clayton from a previous relationship. Clayton, who was nine years old, described himself as a “great kid.” Mark added that, unfortunately, Clayton’s visa process was “a little complicated,” and his passport didn’t arrive in time for him to travel to America. As a result, Clayton had to stay with a family friend in Paris until his visa was processed.

Did Mark Adopt Mina’s Son Clayton?

Mina Agreed To Sign The Prenup If Mark Adopted Clayton

Mina was devastated that her son couldn’t come. Mark understood that if Clayton’s passport didn’t arrive soon, there was a real chance Mina would return to France, forcing them to restart the K-1 visa process. The thought alone made Mark anxious. Once Mina settled in America and the wedding was just days away, she anxiously awaited her siblings’ arrival. Her brother was supposed to travel with Clayton, but Mina wasn’t sure if it would happen. She revealed that her brother was the “last chance” to get Clayton to the U.S. in time for the ceremony.

Since the couple wasn’t sure if Clayton would make it in time for the wedding, Mina even considered pushing the ceremony’s date. However, Mark reminded her that marrying before her visa expired was their best option. Mark decided that, even if Maria had to return to Paris, Mina would stay with him, as Maria held a U.S. passport, unlike Clayton. Maria then made a decision. For Clayton to be fully part of Mark’s family, she needed to ask him if he would adopt Clayton.

Where Is Mina Living Now?

Mina was surprised when Mark told her he’d already planned to adopt Clayton, saying he was like a fourth child to him. Mark was upset that Clayton’s visa process was out of his control. Mina’s Instagram confirms she is still living in America and still together with Mark, suggesting they are married. In her Mother’s Day post from May 11, 2025, Mina poses with Maria but has shared older pictures with Clayton. Her posts indicate that Clayton still hasn’t joined her in the U.S. It remains unclear if the 90 Day Fiancé star is good at keeping secrets from fans.
