#Chantel, #Pedro 90 Day Fiance star Pedro Jimeno and the family of his wife Chantel Everett reportedly "still can't stand" each other despite appearing to make progress in their relations on The Family Chantel earlier this year. "Pedro still can't stand [his wife] Chantel's family and vice-versa," an insider told In Touch Weekly.
"They don't talk often and it doesn't seem like they will make amends any time soon. Pedro is focused on bringing his mom and sister to the United States."
Pedro's mother Lidia and sister Nicole both currently live in the Dominican Republic but have been hoping to move to the U.S. so they can be with Pedro -- who lives with Chantel, 28, in Atlanta, GA -- and purse the American dream.
There is little indication on Pedro, 28, and Chantel's Instagram accounts they are still together -- which isn't unusual for the 90 Day Fiance couple, who have historically been private about their relationship on social media -- but the pair insisted to E! News in July they were still going strong.
"We have our differences that we're still working on. We have our challenges, but that's something that will play out on the show," Chantel said at the time.
"There is no such thing as a perfect relationship, and we have our flaws."
Despite their flaws, Chantel also told People in late July if she could go back and do it all over again, she'd still choose to be with Pedro and endure the struggles they've had.
"I would still choose to marry him, but I would definitely have more realistic expectations," Chantel admitted.
Chantel and Pedro, who met online over four years ago and got engaged after Chantel visited Pedro several times in the Dominican Republic, originally appeared on Season 4 of 90 Day Fiance on TLC.
Once Chantel's family learned Chantel would be getting married after a whirlwind romance overseas, they were suspicious Pedro was after Chantel's money and/or a Green Card.

Chantel's family also thought it was strange Pedro was frequently sending money home to his mother Lidia and sister Nicole in the Dominican Republic.
To ensure Pedro wasn't keeping any secrets or living a double life, Chantel's family hired a private investigator to research his background and also demanded the couple sign a prenuptial agreement in order to protect Chantel's financial interests before their wedding.
Pedro hated that Chantel's family didn't trust him, but Pedro's mother and sister weren't fond of Chantel either and disapproved of their relationship.
Pedro and Chantel later appeared on Seasons 2, 3 and 4 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?.
Tension between the two families exploded during the third season of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, when Pedro got into a blowout fight with Chantel's brother River at the dinner table and then Nicole accused Chantel's family of attacking her in their home.
Chantel's family believed Pedro was disrespectful that night and way out of line, but Pedro felt he was the victim and River owed him an apology.
Neither side ever budged on offering an apology, so there was a standstill between families that resulted in more confrontations and arguments down the road, as no one agreed upon who was to blame.
Problems between Chantel and Pedro also came to a head when Pedro visited his family in his native country, only to get caught dirty dancing with Nicole's best friend Coraima. Pedro's mother and sister also blamed Chantel for taking Pedro away from them and being a selfish wife.
But Chantel's family accused Lidia and Nicole of setting up Pedro's relationship with an American, who turned out to be Chantel, so Pedro would have more opportunities to make money and they could eventually move to the United States as a family.
Chantel's parents, Karen and Thomas, viewed Lidia and Nicole as being manipulative and dishonest about their intentions.
