Murphey joined TLC’s reality-dating franchise in 2020 as a cast member on the fourth season of “90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days,” which follows a group of transnational couples who’ve initiated their romance online as they meet in person for the first time.

Murphey dated and became engaged to a Ukrainian woman named Lana while on the show, although the couple later broke up. In an April 2022 episode of the “90 Days” spinoff “90 Days Diaries,” Murphey revealed the pair ended things after Lana refused to terminate her membership on various dating websites, per Entertainment Tonight and People magazine.
