02x01 - Macky & Shefat

[bunniefuu]

No!

♪ Yeah, I've been hiding ♪

♪ in plain sight
this whole time ♪

[Travis] You've met the
love of your life.

I looked in her eyes,
and I just saw my other half.

[Rahne] But they're hiding a
massive secret...

you.

Have you ever met
anyone in his family?

No.

He blocked me
from his social media.

I need to meet someone
in your life.

[Rahne] I'm Rahne Jones.

[Travis] And I'm Travis Mills.

[Rahne] We help desperate people
who are being kept secret

find out why.

Why are you hiding me?

I need answers or this is it.

[Travis]
Will relationships survive...

How could you do this to me?

I had to call these
people to help me.

[Travis]
...when faced with the truth?

Oh, hell, no.

I can't do this. I can't.

Just one second.
Hey, hey, hey.

Get the [bleep] out of my house!

[Travis] This is MTV's "Help!
I'm In A Secret Relationship!"

Tonight, we're in New Orleans
with Macky and Sheffy.

Macky's a dancer
and a social media influencer

who's been married to Sheffy
for three years.

This is the love of my life.

[Travis] But has still
never met her family.

Do they even know about me?

[Travis] We're in the
Big Easy to help Macky

uncover the secrets that
have pushed their marriage

to the breaking point.

We're talking divorce.

This is the first time I've
actually caught her in a lie.

We kinda decided to do a
background check.

[Both] You did a background
check on his wife?

This isn't a marriage,
it's a mirage.

You know what? I...
I can't.

Macky, just one second.
Hey, hey, hey.

He didn't take that well.

[music]

We're in New Orleans.

-This is wild.
-Yeah. New Orleans is such like,

a rich, vibrant city.
A place with a lot of culture

and just influence, jazz,
Louis Armstrong, all that.

-I love it.
-100%.

I feel like we should game plan
what we're going to be getting

-ourselves into today.
-[Rahne] Absolutely,

'cause we are here for business.
Right?

We are in New Orleans
because we got hit up by Macky.

Macky has been married to his
wife, Shefat, for three years,

and he's never met her family.

-We've dealt with engagements.
-[Rahne] Yes.

-[Travis]
We've dealt with proposals.

We've never dealt
with a marriage.

-You ready?
-Yes, I'm ready. Let's go.

Okay. Okay. So crisscross, turn,
right. All right, ready?

-Are you ready? Tell me when.
-Go.

Get it, get it poppin', girl ♪

♪ Get it poppin', girl ♪

I'm Macky. I'm from New Orleans.
And I am 36 years old.

Let's see it.

[Macky] Sheffy and I met online


We were very attracted
to each other.

The problem was
she lived in Canada,

and I'm all the way down here in
the United States, in Louisiana.

Don't let me go, Macky!

[Macky] So three years ago,

I was like, let me
get her down here.

And it worked out really well.

Without a shadow of a doubt,

I knew she was definitely
the one for me.

No! Macky! Macky!

Aah!
You d*ck!

I have two kids,
Gabriel and Isabella.

Sheffy is a great stepmom.

Good job, Gabe.
Yeah!

She's just so full of life.
She just has this energy

that, uh, I hadn't been able
to find up until now.

I was in
Operation Iraqi Freedom.

And came back home with PTSD.

And to have her always this ball
of energy, always energetic

and fun, it's almost like
built-in therapy for me.

Married life is great,
but we're going on three years,

and I still haven't met anybody
from Sheffy's life.

[phone ringing]

-I better take that.
-Right. Who's that?

-I mean...
-Hello.

Wait, what?

[Macky] I don't know who her
family are, who her friends are.

I don't know anything. To me,
it's starting to be bull[bleep].

If I don't get these answers,
I just can't go on any further.

-They are fully doing...
-[Rahne] Marriage, kids.

-The family thing.
-And if it doesn't go well,

we're talking divorce.
So, stakes extremely high.

I think we have to tread
carefully on this one because

it's not just about Macky.
It's about these kids as well.

-100%.
-I feel for Macky

and we're gonna help them.

[Travis] Yeah, well,
let's go meet Macky.

[Rahne] Let's do it.

[Travis] Macky, what have you
gotten us into?

[music]

Oh, New Orleans.
Coming in strong.

[music]

[Rahne] There's our guy.
Gotta be, right?

-How you doing, Macky?
-You must be Rahne.

-I am Rahne.
-I'm Travis.

-Travis, nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.

-Why'd you pick this spot?
-This is, uh, one of Sheffy

and my's favorite place
to come hang out at night.

We go on a lot of dates here.

It's absolutely gorgeous at
night. The lights light up.

We're out here having drinks,
having a good time.

[Rahne]
It's nice. It's beautiful.

Hi, guys. How are y'all?
Water and a pizza.

I ordered some pizza for you.

-This is their specialty.
-That's it.

[Rahne] Thank you so much.

So Macky, we got your message.
You've known your wife

for 10 years. You guys have been
married for three.

Why did you feel the need
to message Rahne and I?

So we met 10 years ago.

We met on a website and traded
pictures and all that kind of

stuff that you do whenever
you're...

-Getting to know somebody.
-Getting to know somebody.

She was just like, I was
super safe to talk to this guy.

He's been in the military.
He's really hot.

I didn't mean to laugh.
I mean, you are hot.

[Macky]
Oh, well, thank you. Well.

So we were always attracted
to each other,

but for the next six years,
we were both, like,

kind of in
different relationships.

Fast forward to a little over
three years ago now,

and I was like, hey,
wanna come on a vacation?

And she's like, yeah.

-Why not?
-Right. So the chemistry that

we had through social media
was there in person.

And for me, kind of at that
moment, I kind of knew,

you know, when you know,
you know.

♪ I just wanna give you ♪

♪ Give you my love ♪

And I told her,
why don't you just

come down here and live with me?

And I expected some
sort of kickback.

A little bit of hesitation,
right?

Yeah. Something. But instead
she was like, yeah, okay,

when can I come?
But I'm like...

-It's a whirlwind romance.
-Truly.

You were head over heels.

Within the month,
I staged the engagement,

and we get married.

♪ I just want to give you ♪

♪ Want to give you my love ♪

[Rahne] That all happened
within a month?

Yeah. This is the love of my
life. Our relationship is great,

but I really haven't
spoken to or known

any of her friends or family.

[Rahne]
Who was at the wedding?

It's only Sheffy, my dad
and my mom there.

Um, and then my dad had
to walk her down the aisle.

So for me,
that was kind of upsetting.

[Travis] But her family did know
you were getting married, right?

Yeah. She told me that her
family knew what was going on.

It was just like, hey,
they can't wait to

meet you in person, but
it's just not the right time.

You know, it'll happen.

What do you think is going on?

I have some ideas.

She did have a girls' kind
of weekend four months ago.

And this is the first time I've
actually caught her in a lie.

She comes back, and I say,
hey, where are the pictures

from your trip? And she's like,
well, I didn't actually

go on a trip with the girls.

She tells me that this week
that she was away

on this girls' trip,
she was actually in town.

She had got a hotel room
for her parents,

and she was spending time
with her parents.

-Oh, boy.
-Yep.

Ooh.

That is so fascinating,
because for someone to spend

this whole time giving
you vague excuses about

why you can't meet,
but yet you don't do it

when they're literally
right down the road.

That's what I said.
I was like, so you're telling me

your family's been excited
to see me this entire time,

but you brought them down
for an entire week,

and there wasn't 30 minutes
that we could have said, hey,

I'm your daughter's husband.
It's so nice to meet you.

How do you know that it was even
her parents who came to town?

-[Macky] I do not.
-I mean, you're connecting

with Sheffy online while
she was dating other guys,

maybe she's doing a similar
thing now.

Right. So, I don't like
to think about it,

but is she cheating on me?
And it's...

That's really hard
to think about.

But, I mean,
I would be heartbroken.

What do you want to happen?

This is the love of my life.
We have been trying to actively

have a kid, and I can't have a
kid with somebody that I don't

know their family. I wasted four
years in a bad relationship that

I was being used. I'm afraid I
might be being used again,

but I don't wannna
even think that.

If I don't get these answers,

I...

♪ I should have
seen this coming ♪

♪ Now I know I should have
wrote a page or two ♪

♪ You know at the start
you did everything right ♪

[Rahne] You don't deserve to be
married to a mystery.

I was married last year.
I know the stakes.

I know how risky it is to put
your heart out there,

especially after being hurt.
Didn't think I wanted

to get married, and then
found this special person.

But not only that,
their family

was welcoming and open to me.

Everyone deserves that.

I know.

I don't want it to be over.

[Rahne] We're gonna get to
the bottom of this.

Thank you for your guys' help.

Good to meet you, man.

-Thank you, Travis.
-Yeah, we'll be in touch soon.

Nice to meet you.
All right? Take care.

All right, man.

[music]

Oh, boy. You've known
this person for 10 years.

You're now married for three.

You haven't met the family.

She moved from Canada.
Like, it's a lot.

I want to see
Sheffy's social media.

-Okay.
-This is her profile.

-[Rahne] All right.
-[Travis] Her first three posts

-are all her reposting Macky.
-Okay.

So I want to see
Macky's social media.

[Rahne] Okay.

♪ Me and team going all out
all out pedal to the metal ♪

♪ like a fall out, boy ♪

[Rahne] Oh!

There's Sheffy
in the background.

[Rahne] Look at her twerking
in the back.

Girl.

[Travis] Great dancing.
Great attitude. Love.

It seems like everyone
kind of is a fan, right?

[Travis] Macky has a ton of
followers.

-303,000 followers.
-Damn!

Maybe she saw that and was like,
this is an opportunity

to join in on that to help her,
which is

the using aspect of it all.

Yeah, and I know the last thing
that he said was like,

is there somebody else?

Which he seemed honestly to be
the most devastated by.

Of course.

He's been hurt before.
He's been used before.

And if there's another person
on the side, I, I mean,

it could spell divorce.

This isn't a marriage.
It's a mirage.

Coming up...

[Woman]
Sheffy's on this other site.

Is this an adult site?

We finally decided
to do a background check.

[Both] You did a background
check on his wife?

Literally.

You know what? I...

Macky, just one second.
Hey, hey, hey.

[Travis] Okay.

[glass breaking]

♪ Okay I've been
workin' all week ♪

♪ I'm about to treat myself ♪

♪ I've only got one life
and I'm livin' ♪

[Travis] We're in New Orleans
to help Macky figure out

why his wife, Sheffy, has been
hiding him from her family

for the past three years.

Mackey says if there's anyone
who knows anything,

it's Sheffy's best friend,
Vanessa.

So we DM'd her. We're stopping
on Bourbon Street to regroup

until someone gets back to us.

♪ No days off ♪

Hopefully, Vanessa
reaches back out.

I think talking to Vanessa,
right, is gonna give us kind of

our first look into who Sheffy
is, how she operates.

So, like, there's just a lot of
questions that I feel like...

[phone vibrating]

Hi, this is Travis and Rahne.

[Vanessa] Hi, this is Vanessa.
I just got a DM from y'all.

Yes, you did. And I know
that's kinda weird, but um,

just to give you
a bit of context.

Um, we know that you are friends
with Sheffy, actually,

really good friends.

[Vanessa] Okay...

Well, Vanessa, just so you know,
Rahne and I,

we do a show with MTV.

It's a relationship show, and
you know, we're in New Orleans

to try to help Macky
get some answers.

Macky feels like he's being
hidden by Sheffy.

He hasn't met...Yeah,
he hasn't met her family.

[Vanessa] I'm honestly really
shocked that this is even a way

that Macky feels.

Like, they are, like,
the perfect couple.

And I mean, and Macky told us
that, you know,

Sheffy is the love of his life.

They have an amazing
relationship,

but the big issue is that
he has not met her family.

[Vanessa] I mean, I guess
I can understand

where this might be coming from.

Okay.

Why do you think Sheffy
is hiding Macky?

[Vanessa] I do have
something on my mind.

I really think that Sheffy
might be living a double life.

In what sense?

[Vanessa] In our conversations,
she had told me this Bengali

nickname that she got when she
was a kid, and it was Pinky.

So I decided to look that up.

And I found a social media site
reflecting that.

I'm gonna go ahead
and send you the link

-to that right now.
-Please do.

[Travis] " Autumn is
a second spring

when every leaf is a flower."

[Vanessa] I mean,
it's kinda crazy.

It's filled with inspirational
and motivational messages.

And that's not really
who she is.

Now, have you brought this
to her attention?

Like, hey, I found this page.

[Vanessa] Um, it's a
conversation I've been meaning

to have because there is
something else that I found.

Um, and it is a bit more risque.

Okay.

-Is this an adult site?
-Yeah, like what's...

[Vanessa] Um, I'm gonna go ahead
and send that to you as well.

Please do.
Oh, Lord.

So she's putting herself out
there, so that people can

buy things for her.

And then in return, she's
giving them what they want.

[Vanessa] All I know is that I'm
doing this because I love her.

And I don't wanna
see them broken up.

Well, thank you so much,
Vanessa.

-[Vanessa] Thank you.
-Bye bye .

Wow.

-So...
-I feel like there's four

-different Sheffys, right?
-I mean, truly.

There's the public Sheffy.
Now there's the conservative,

motivational quote Sheffy.
And then there's, like,

XXX-unrated Sheffy.

Yeah. Hey, listen,
there's a lot to Sheffy.

We still have a lot of questions
and a long way to go.

And hopefully, uh, tomorrow we
can get some of them answered.

♪ I'm a big, bad bonafide boss ♪

♪ Paid all the dues
I don't care what it cost ♪

[Travis] Day two in New Orleans,

we reached out to Macky's
cousin, Austin,

who Macky says has strong
opinions about Sheffy.

So we're on our way
to meet Austin now

and hear why he thinks Sheffy is
hiding Macky from her family.

♪ I said I had to see it back ♪

♪ I said what I said
so it is like that ♪

-Thank y'all for comin' by.
-Yeah.

Thank you so much
for meeting us.

Absolutely, y'all. Welcome in.
Welcome in.

I'm gonna cut right to the
chase. We're here to talk

-about your cousin, Macky.
-Okay, sure.

Obviously,
you and Macky are family.

Tell us a little bit about Macky
from your perspective

-and your cousin-in-law.
-Um, he's an awesome guy.

We grew up together
in the military.

More like a brother. Sheffy, you
know, I'm still kinda opening

up to her at this time. Still
kind of at bay at other times.

Why do you think
you're still at bay?

Just 'cause I don't
really know her,

none of the family really does.

And so, you know, we're trying
to see who she is. You know,

we know Macky's happy. Um,
but it was all pretty sudden.

It was just like,
boom, boom, boom.

I mean, that quickly,
it was just red flags

all across the board.

I know that he hasn't met the
family at all,

so it's just kind of weird that,
that hasn't happened.

Have you brought up any,
like, concerns?

No. I know him too well. It
would just be kind of redundant

to argue with him over it.

He's gonna do what he wants
to do. I think he's in love.

Whatever her side of it is,
that's kind of what concerns me

-at the end of the day.
-Yeah.

The family and I both, I mean,
there's some family members

that are livid
about the situation.

Actually, I got something I
wanna show y'all real quick.

-Okay.
-Hang on one second.

Here we go.

So...

Like, after we talked about as a
family, we kind of decided to do

a background check just because
she's gonna be around his kids.

She's gonna be around the
family. We don't know her.

He barely knows her.
So ran a few things.

[Both] You did a background
check on his wife?

Literally.

All that's right there.

So if you look on there,
date of births are different

from what she tells us
to what that is.

-So she's older?
-[Austin] Right.

And she applied for US
citizenship after high school

and was denied.

Well.

I do believe that Sheffy
is using Macky

just for US citizenship.

To be a US citizen here,
you have to have a

permanent residency for
three years to a spouse.

She just applied last year.

When two years are up,
who's to say that she's not

gonna up and leave him?
Applied for a US citizenship

and just break his and the
family's heart at the same time.

So you think she's just
k*lling time so she can

reapply for citizenship?

I would say probably.

Does he know that
your family did this?

No, but it's gotta come
to light one day.

We do feel like it could be
genuine on his end,

and we just don't want him to
end up getting heartbroken.

So we are going to go meet up
with Macky and kind of fill him

in on everything that we've
learned the past few days.

-Is it cool if we bring that?
-Absolutely. It's a copy.

All right.

-Thank you so much.
-[Austin] Absolutely.

[Rahne] Background check
in hand.

This is a first.

[Travis] We've never had
something like this.

[Rahne] Ever. The family felt
some type of way so strongly

that they were like,
we gotta do our own research.

You know what I'm saying?
That is telling.

[Travis]
The whole three-year thing.

Like, does he know that

she applied for citizen
and got denied?

[Rahne] It's just too much.

And I think that we probably
should call Macky, right,

-'cause I feel like...
-We need to sit down with Macky,

and I don't know how
he's going to react.

Okay.

-[Macky] Hello.
-Hey, Macky.

This is Travis and Rahne.

[Macky]
Hey, guys. What's going on?

We've talked to a few people,
and I think that it's time

that we sit down
and talk to you.

[Macky] What did y'all find out?

Um, I think it's best that
we probably sit down

and talk to you face-to-face
about all that stuff.

[Macky] Okay. I just got done
recording a dance video.

I can send you the address
of the dance studio.

-All right.
-We'll see you soon.

-Want to hit it?
-Let's do it.

I'm not looking forward to
this chat, I'll tell you that.

[Rahne] We're in New Orleans
where we've uncovered

some troubling theories as to
why Macky is being hidden

by his wife, Sheffy.

We're on our way to Macky's
dance studio to tell him

what we've learned. And we're
not sure how he's gonna take it.

[line ringing]

-[Macky] Hello .
-Hey, what's up, Macky?

It's Travis and Rahne. We are
outside of the dance studio,

I think.

[Macky] Okay. Let me come check.

All right. Great. See you.

-All right.
-Here we go, Travis.

Let's do it.

[music]

-Yo.
-[Rahne] Hey. What's up?

-What's up, guys?
-[Rahne] Good to see you.

-I see you got all your gear.
-Yeah.

How are you doing?

First and foremost, like,
you-you all right?

I-I don't know. Um, I mean,
what have y'all found out?

We found out a lot. Um...
We called Vanessa.

We got to talk to her
on the phone.

And she had a lot of great
things to say about Sheffy.

But there were a few things
that we just wanted to know

if you were aware of?

She remembers Sheffy saying
this nickname that she had

when she was a kid and
kinda hearing in conversations.

She had the nickname, Pinky.
Have you heard that?

-I have not.
-So she just kind of searched

for this profile. And she
found another page of Sheffy's.

Okay.

This one, you know, Sheffy was
very elevated, very kind of...

-Conservative even.
-Conservative.

Do you know about this page?

No. That's...
I mean, that's not Sheffy.

That's kind of odd.

-So this...
-So here's the page.

Sheffy Pinky go.

[Macky] When was that posted?

[Both] That was posted
four days ago.

So very active on it.
Vanessa said it seems like

there's a double life going.
Or maybe a facade that she's

trying to keep up, but for who?

[Travis] But there's
another page.

So Vanessa sent us...

What do you mean another page?

Uh, it's an adult site.

And Sheffy has a profile
on that site.

[Macky] Do you have it?

We can pull it up right now
and show you.

[Rahne] Here is the page.

[Macky] Oh, my God.

So I mean...

Yeah.

I didn't think y'all
would find that.

Okay, so you knew about this?

Yeah, yeah. So Sheffy and I...

Yeah, we do that on the side.

[Rahne] Oh. Okay.

-So you're on this page?
-Yes. I'm on the page.

-Got it. Hey.
-Okay. That's...

Hey, we're not knocking
the hustle, man.

Do it. Unfortunately, we do have
a little bit more information

for you.

Obviously, you connected us to
Austin, and uh, he thinks that

she's using you for citizenship.

What?

No way. Like, I haven't heard
these concerns before.

Well, Austin isn't the only one
that seems to think that.

Okay.

[Travis] Other members of your
family also feel the same way.

And they actually did a
background check.

-Okay.
-On Sheffy.

Really? What the hell?

He said that they found
a lot of inconsistencies.

I mean, her birthday isn't the
same as what she tells everyone.

That is not her birthday. So
they're saying that she's older.

So she's lying about her age.

-Wait. Hold on.
-[Rahne] Okay.

Did she ever mention that
she applied for citizenship

and got denied?

No.

If this is true, this is
something that I talked to her

about that somebody had used
my dad in the past

to try to get a citizenship
as well.

Y'all are telling me that
the love of my life, my wife,

is trying to use me
for citizenship?

-We don't know for sure.
-We don't know that for certain.

You know what? I...
I can't even...

-Okay.
-I can't.

I think we should follow him.
Macky, just one second.

Just one second. Hey, hey, hey.
One second.

[music]

[Travis] Okay.

He didn't take that well.

[glass breaking]

Macky, just one second.

Just one second. Hey, hey, hey.
One second.

[music]

[Travis] Okay.
He stepped on that gas so fast.

[Rahne] It's like,
get me the hell out.

I'm gonna just call him real
quick and see if he answers.

[line ringing]

[Operator] Your call has been
forwarded to

an automated voice
messaging system.

-He ain't even there.
-Yeah.

I'm like, dumbfounded right now.
I'm at a loss for words.

I know. I feel so bad for him.

-This thing right here...
-That did it.

...is getting us in
a lot of trouble.

That background check
rearing its ugly head.

He obviously doesn't want to
talk to us right now.

-Yeah.
-sh**t him a text.

-Okay.
-This whole thing is going to be

just exploded if he
goes home right now.

Absolutely. So I'm gonna say,
"Hey, Macky. Take the night.

is there anywhere else
you could stay?"

He said, what? I need answers.
I'm going to ask Sheffy

what the [bleep] is going on.

-Um, "You asked us for help."
-[Travis] Let us help you.

"Let us help you."

-[Travis] Take the night.
-"Take the night."

-[Travis] And cool off.
-"To cool off."

He said, "Fine."

Okay. Okay, great. Let's just
hope tomorrow is a better day.

-What's up?
-How are you doing?

Good.

-So.
-Well.

-[Travis] I talked to Macky.
-Okay.

Um, he spent the night at a
friend's house last night.

[Rahne] Good.

He calmed down a hell of a lot
more than last night.

And look, he's ready
to talk to Sheffy.

Okay.

We're gonna sit down
and get to the bottom of this.

-Absolutely. Let's get it.
-[Travis] Let's do it.

Off to see Macky.

-Hey, guys.
-Hey, what's up? How you doing?

-I'm okay.
-Can we come in?

-Yeah. Come in.
-All right. Thank you.

[Travis] What's up, dude?

-Is right here all right?
-Okay, um...

-Yeah. Sit down. Sit down.

So how was last night?

Uh, didn't get a lot of sleep.
Um, I had some time to think

about some stuff. Um, Sheffy,
she's not here yet,

so I think she went off to get
her nails done or something.

Well, you have a lot of answers

that you're about to hear,
right?

But then you're also gonna have
some decisions to make.

And it's not just you, right?
You have a family.

Yeah. I mean, I don't wanna be
used again. But I need to know

is that something
that's happening?

For me, it's all been real. So
to find out something like that,

I don't...

I don't know how I'll go on.

[Rahne] I'm sorry, man.
I mean, nobody deserves to

go through something like this.
And...

Even if it doesn't turn out
the way you want it to,

you will be able to go on.

Because you have to.
You have, you know, two kids.

It's gonna be okay.

[phone vibrating]

-She's here.
-She's here?

I'm sorry.

How about I just go out
and kind of...

-Okay.
-I'll be back.

[music]

-Hi, Sheffy.
-Hi.

My name is Rahne.

Sheffy, nice to meet you.

Um, I'm with the TV show that
you've been working on about

up and coming dancers
with Macky.

Uh-huh.

How are you doing?

I'm okay.

I'm gonna need
your help, Travis.

I got you, man.

It's not gonna be easy, but it's
something that needs to be done.

We're gonna get to the bottom
of it together.

Here's the deal.

This is a relationship show.

[glass breaking]

-Hi, Sheffy.
-Hi.

Here's the deal.

The reality is that this is a
relationship show.

Okay.

Macky reached out to Travis and
I because he feels like

he's been hidden by you.
He has not met your family.

He feels like he's being gaslit.
And this is the moment where he

wants to sit down and have an
honest conversation with you,

if you would be
willing to do so?

[music]

This is shocking to me
'cause he's my everything.

Here's the thing. We don't want
to paint anybody in a bad light.

We are here for Macky,
but we are also here

for you and your relationship.

Okay.

There are some things that I'm
hiding, but...

-Okay.
-[Sheffy] I'm scared to tell him

these things, so...

If you guys can help me
through it to figure it out

and work things out with Macky,
that would be amazing.

We will absolutely help you
the best way we can,

but I think the first step
is just having that talk.

We're gonna be okay, all right?

Thank you.
I really appreciate it.

-We're here for you as well.
-Thank you.

Let's do it.

All right. Sheffy, if you
wanna go all the way

over there for me.

-I'm Travis.
-Sheffy.

-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.

Macky, Sheffy, thank you for
allowing us into your home.

I know it's crazy with all the
cameras, but Macky contacted

Rahne and I because he has a lot
of questions that have gone

unanswered for the length of
your relationship, so...

-Macky, you wanna start?
-Yeah, um...

You have another
social media profile.

Rahne and Travis
figured this out.

[Travis] You know, we talked
to Vanessa, and she told us

that she found a profile
with your old nickname.

It's very kind of buttoned up,
and it's these motivational

quotes, and it's very kind of
manicured, as if you're trying

to present, you know, an
alternate version of your life.

What it really comes down to is
that it-it feels like you're,

you're living a double life.

And there's something else
on my head that's

close to a deal breaker for me.

Especially since we're
trying to have a kid.

Austin, my cousin,

said that you applied
for immigration

in the past,
and that you were denied.

And my family believes

that you're using me
for immigration.

So your family did a
background check on me?

Yes.

What's with the different birth
date? What's that all about?

I present myself as
younger than I am.

I've been just doing it for
so many years that I even forgot

how old I am. You know,
sometimes you're just so used

to saying you're a certain
age that you forget

how old you really are.

So you're saying that this is
you and that you had applied

for immigration before
and got declined?

What I need to know is

are you using me
for citizenship now?

No. I did apply for citizenship
in the past.

I did not get accepted.

[Macky] So why didn't you
just tell me?

[Sheffy] I didn't see the point
in just even mentioning that.

So what's with your parents?
Do they even know about me?

They don't.

-I'm sorry.
-They don't know.

My family doesn't know.

They don't know
that you're married?

They don't know
anything about Macky?

-Right.
-They don't know he exists?

Why?

Why don't they know?

Why?

-Just 'cause...
-Why don't they know about me?

Sheffy!

The reason they don't
know is because...

[glass breaking]

[music]

I need answers...

...or this is it.

The reason I'm hiding you is
because...

[music]

My parents want me to have
an arranged marriage.

They currently are looking
for guys for me.

My parents are
really strict Muslims.

And I'm scared my
family won't accept you.

So why have you never
told me about this?

I was really scared that,
you know, you...

would walk away because
I can't tell my family

or my family won't accept you.

You're-you're the love
of my life.

I would do anything for you.

My parents will cut me off.

You're not Muslim.
You have two kids.

And you know, my parents,
I don't think they'll accept you

and then they're gonna make me
choose between them and you.

I don't wanna lose you.
And I don't wanna lose them.

And it sucks that I have
to pick between the two because

I love my parents and I love
you. You're my best friend.

Apologies if I get
emotional myself. Um...

loving someone
from a different culture

when your family
might not approve

not only obviously does that
affect this person,

but it affects you.

So what does this
look like for you?

I think they're gonna
give me the ultimatum.

I think they're gonna be like,
look, you either pick us

or you pick him.

Your family deserves to know.
Um, even if they don't like

what you have to say.
And I think that's something

that has to happen before
we move forward with anything.

I'm okay with that.

I'm okay with calling my parents
and telling them

because it has to happen.

I don't wanna keep hurting you.
I don't wanna keep you a secret.

And I do wanna
have a kid with you.

If I cry one more time...

I mean, look, it's gutwrenching,
right? It's heartwarming.

It's like...

You just, you feel like
the pain of how she's kind of

had to navigate living
this double life.

You know they have a journey on
their hands, and now they have,

I feel like, a clean slate.

And they can sail off into
that sunset, hopefully.

Shall we get out of New Orleans?
