90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? star Brandon Gibbs can’t handle all the family drama around him.
In Us Weekly’s exclusive sneak peek of the Sunday, July 27, episode of TLC’s reality show, Brandon, 31, finds himself at odds with Julia Trubkina over their road to parenthood.
“The doctors in Russia said that it’s not likely she can have kids,” Brandon reveals in a confessional interview. “I know this is a sensitive issue for her. It’s why I really don’t want to press too much. But at the same time, Julia agreed to schedule the second opinion, and so I’ve been waiting weeks for her to schedule it.”
According to Brandon, he hasn’t seen “any effort” on his wife’s part to learn more about what’s going on.

“No appointments made or anything,” he explains. “I am afraid that Julia is never going to book this appointment.”
Instead of having a one-on-one conversation with his wife, Brandon decides to bring it up in front of his parents, Ron and Betty. The move doesn’t exactly impress Julia, 31, who is eagerly waiting for her own parents to visit.
“We are talking about different stuff now,” she says. “My parents not even here yet, and you’re trying to push me for that?”
Later this season, Julia’s parents are expected to pay a visit and hang out with Brandon and his parents.
While the gesture sounds nice, there’s already drama brewing as Ron and Betty aren’t sure where they are going to sleep when the family reunion happens.
“My dad going to stay in a guest room. My mom going to stay in a dog room,” Julia explains to her in-laws. “This is not your room. This is guest room.”
When Julia reminds Brandon’s parents that they are a 90-minute drive from the house, it’s not enough to stop Betty from sharing her concerns — and pointing out Julia’s parents aren’t even married.
“We can’t come while they’re here because we don’t have anywhere to stay,” she proclaims.

Instead of defending his wife or chiming in on the conversation, Brandon attempts to stay busy by working in the background. The gesture doesn’t exactly win him any brownie points with his wife.
“Brandon, you didn’t want to involve this conversation and you sitting and not doing nothing,” Julia says. “That isn’t fun, Brandon.”
The drama continues when 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? airs on TLC Sundays at 8 p.m. ET.
