Jeremiah and Carmela are still going strong as a family. Their union has been fraught with difficulties, including drug use, allegations of abuse, and Jeremiah's journey as he searches for his biological family.

They first met on Facebook after Carmela sent a private message to Jeremiah. They wrote to one another for three months before deciding to meet in person (via In Touch). Jeremiah and Carmela initially appeared to have a happy and healthy relationship. Trouble soon began to creep into their union shortly after they wed in a small ceremony, which was held in her hometown of Vancouver, Washington.

The couple found they were not as compatible as they believed and began to fight in a very public way on Facebook (via Starcasm). Their altercations became volatile in strings of messages posted to the public sharing site. They hurled allegations back and forth at one another and spoke as if they had already divorced one another when, in fact, they were still wed.
