Evan met Stefania on a Filipino dating site and, after three weeks, couldn’t wait to meet her. He spent $5,000 to visit her, and they hit it off right away, quickly becoming a couple and planning their future together.
Evan spent $15,000 visiting Stefania before suggesting an engagement visa so they could live in the US. On Truly TV, he shared: “We had 90 days to marry once she arrived in the US. We secretly eloped in June, and just last Sunday, we had a wedding with my family.”

Now married, Evan and Stefania share their relationship story online but face criticism. Some accuse Evan of wanting a “maid” and Stefania of seeking a green card. Stefania defended herself, saying: “People judge me because my husband spent $20,000 to bring me to the US.”
She handles all the household chores in their Pennsylvania home and had never used appliances like a dishwasher or tumble dryer before moving to America. Evan said, “When people call Stefania my maid, I don’t take it personally. We’re happy, and that’s what matters.”
Evan’s mom, Susan, was initially worried about the distance in their relationship, but she was brought to tears seeing how happy Stefania was when Evan first visited her. Stefania also faced doubts from her friends and family, with some thinking Evan was too young, even though he’s four years older than her.
The couple shares their life on YouTube and TikTok, getting both support and criticism. Stefania said, “People comment things like, ‘You couldn’t find someone in the US,’ or ‘She’s just after your money.'”
They’ve been called names like “gold digger,” but Evan said, “We ignore most hate comments.” They even joke about claims Stefania is a “financial burden” or only wants a green card.
Fans on Truly TV’s YouTube show support, with one saying, “She’s beautiful, and no one should judge their relationship.” Others admired their love story, calling it “beautiful” and wishing them happiness.
