Chantel Jimeno has made it clear she believes her in-laws take advantage of her husband, Pedro Jimeno, by asking him to foot the bill for some of their living expenses in the Dominican Republic, as well as pressuring him for pricey gifts like computers and TVs. In Touch notes that on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After, Chantel claimed Pedro was sending as much as $300 a month to his family. However, this drama is compounded by the fact that Chantel's family thinks Pedro used her just to get a green card — a suspicion that makes Pedro's family super resentful, according to Heavy.
But Chantel's not backing down. Season 2 of The Family Chantel finds the 29-year-old preparing to graduate from nursing school, and Pedro looking forward to the future. In a sneak peek released in September 2020, per ET, Chantel says, "This is a new chapter in our lives," while Pedro adds, "We can buy a house. I want to start school. It's like a big dream. American dream." Pedro then refers to Chantel by his pet name for her, saying, "Pinky, in America, you need to think big!" In classic Chantel style, she retorts, "Tell your family that they have to think small because they're on a small island. So stop asking for money, so we can live big."
The drama between these families never gets old, does it? Season 2 of The Family Chantel premiered on Oct. 12, 2020, on TLC.
