90 Day Fiancé star Asuelu Pulaa has intrigued his fanbase with speculation surrounding his potential enlistment in the U.S. Army. Recently, the 29-year-old reality television personality seemed to hint at this significant career shift, prompting much curiosity among viewers about his future endeavors. Asuelu first made his television debut in 90 Day Fiancé season 6 alongside his partner, Kalani Faagata. Their love story began in Samoa, where Kalani and Asuelu’s relationship blossomed quickly, leading to the birth of their first son, Oliver, even before Asuelu arrived in America on his K-1 visa. The couple later welcomed their second son, Kennedy. However, as time passed, Kalani’s dissatisfaction with their marriage grew.

In the dramatic series 90 Day: The Last Resort, Kalani found herself on the verge of divorce after uncovering Asuelu’s infidelity, which she discovered when he suffered from a yeast infection on his tongue. To add to the tension, Asuelu permitted Kalani to kiss another man, a move that backfired when she developed feelings for Dallas Nuez, ultimately deciding to pursue a relationship with him over Asuelu. Before formally stating her intention to divorce, Kalani publicly revealed Asuelu’s repeated infidelities throughout their relationship, which included 12 instances of cheating, even while she was expecting their son, Oliver. Currently, Kalani is in a relationship with Dallas, with whom she shares a daughter named Masina.

Asuelu Teased His Possible Enlistment in the U.S. Army

Asuelu’s Video Sparks Speculation About His Army Enlistment

Asuelu recently surprised his followers with a captivating social media update. He shared a video on Instagram showcasing a large group of men, all engaged with their phones to call, text, and browse, while Asuelu was filming them. Accompanying this Reel, he wrote, “The good feeling is having our phones for 1 hour,” while playing the upbeat song “Good Time” by Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen, which perfectly captured his cheerful mood. Although Asuelu did not clarify his whereabouts or the identities of the men in his video, this ambiguity led many fans to extend their congratulations in the comments section. “Oh wow. That’s cool! Good luck,” commented hayacountskilos, indicating the supportive atmosphere among his followers.

One of Asuelu’s followers, lorikb0804, expressed support by commenting, “Good for you! Your boys will be proud!” Many fans interpreted his video as an indication that he had indeed joined the Army, especially since the men visible in the clip were all wearing Army shirts. However, it’s worth noting that Asuelu himself was not seen on camera, nor did he confirm his involvement with the recruits. Nevertheless, it seems probable that Asuelu was also clad in casual Army attire, similar to the others, and that he intended the video to serve as a subtle announcement of his enlistment in the U.S. Army.

Has Asuelu Truly Committed to This Major Life Transformation?

Is Asuelu Being Honest About His New Direction?

Interestingly, not all of Asuelu’s followers are convinced about his dramatic career change. One fan, vahliciouz, commented that Asuelu had not actually joined the Army and suggested that the video he shared was an old clip. They commented, “He reposted it. He’s not a U.S. citizen,” raising questions about his potential enlistment. However, it is important to note that Asuelu doesn’t need to be a U.S. citizen to enlist in the Army. Legal permanent residents with valid Green Cards, like Asuelu, are eligible to join. In February 2025, he made headlines by announcing his plan to “deport back” to his homeland, Samoa, following the expiration of his visa.

Asuelu previously misled his followers about being deported, leading them to believe he had moved to Zimbabwe and was planning to marry there. However, a video of Asuelu’s time in the U.S. Army suggests he is still residing in America. More information about his career transition is needed to determine if he is genuinely working to improve his life and demonstrate to Kalani that he can be a responsible father to their children. Asuelu’s potential personal growth is unexpected, yet it is a hopeful development for him and his family.

Could This Potential Life Update Lead to a Reunion for the Exes?

Kalani and Asuelu’s Co-Parenting Journey During His New Career Path

Asuelu may have been joking with fans who suggested he leave the United States due to his past treatment of Kalani during their marriage, which included accusations that he exploited her to gain a visa. Nonetheless, his recent career announcement seems sincere. Throughout their relationship, Kalani has voiced her frustration regarding Asuelu’s lack of ambition and financial support for their family. Despite this new phase in his life, it is unlikely that it will significantly alter her feelings. His past actions have deeply affected Kalani, and she has accused him of alleged abuse during their relationship.

“To new beginnings and the best life for our boys!”

Kalani frequently shares her happiness with Dallas, never missing an opportunity to showcase their relationship. They celebrated two years together in February 2025, and in a post from March 2025, Kalani expressed wishes for “safe travels and good luck” to Asuelu, mentioning that he was embarking on a new adventure. “I’m thankful for how far we have come and how well we co-parent,” she noted, which fans interpreted as a reference to Asuelu’s deportation. However, the 90 Day Fiancé star may have been alluding to Asuelu’s Army career, reassuring viewers about their commitment to co-parenting Kennedy and Oliver.

90 Day Fiancé airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EDT on TLC.
