She's left her husband behind in Korea.

The couples of 90 Day Fiancé always have high hopes for happily-ever-after, but the dreams and the reality don't always match.
That seems to be what's happening with TLC couple Deavan and Jihoon right now.
Back in August 2020, rumors that Utah native Deavan Clegg left her husband in South Korea and headed home to pursue a divorce began running rampant, and now, rumors that she's already engaged to her new beau have been gaining momentum.
Who is Deavan Clegg's boyfriend, Topher Park?
Read on to find out everything you need to know about Deavan's hot new flame.
Clegg isn't wasting any time moving on from her failed marriage.
She is allegedly already with a new man named Topher Park, who is based out of Los Angeles.
Park is an actor, model, musician, and fashion designer. He also is the co-founder of an online magazine called "tophandher," but it hasn't produced any new material since December 2019.
Has Topher Park been in any major movies?
Park seems to have been acting for about six years, something he got into with his theatre studies at the University of California at Riverside.
Most of his work has been in short films and indie projects, including files evocatively named Boned and Fluid.
Despite this eyebrow-raising titles, the projects aren't adult films, even if they won't be showing up at a major movie theatre chain any time soon.
Topher Park is also a model.
In his IMDB bio, Park mentions that he did professional modeling and was in a campaign for Samsung at one point.
He's also a big fan of posting shirtless selfies on his Instagram page.
The modeling is something he and Clegg have in common; she is also a model and often showcases her work on her social media accounts as well.
In a 2019 interview, Park said that fashion and modeling are his real passions, though he didn't elaborate on any plans to start his own line or what his future in modeling might be.
How did Topher Park and Deavan Clegg meet?
Sources say that Clegg and Park met through mutual friends and started dating only after she came back to America and decided her marriage was beyond saving. Sources also claim that Park isn't interested in capitalizing on Clegg's reality TV fame. He allegedly knows all about the show but doesn't want to be a part of it himself, which is an unusual approach for someone in show business.
Why did Deavan dump Jihoon?
Just to share a little background on this story, Deavan Clegg and Jihoon Lee first appeared on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way in 2019.
The couple explained that they initially met online and Lee traveled to the U.S. to meet in person.
That trip led to a pregnancy and Clegg later gave birth to the couple's son. She already had a daughter from a previous relationship, and the romance between Lee and Clegg was fraught from the beginning.
Not only did they not know each other well, but Lee's family was not excited about an unplanned pregnancy or their son marrying a single mother from America.
To make matters more complicated, Lee had not fully explained to Clegg that he was basically unemployed and owed the South Korean government money from a prior arrest for selling stolen property.
Despite all this, the couple got married and Clegg spent time moving back and forth between the two countries.
The current season of the show has been revealing escalating tensions between the couple, many of them about his inability to support a family.
The latest rumors place Clegg back in Utah with both of the children and it seems like she doesn't have any intention of returning to her husband.
Topher Park and Jihoon Lee are both Korean.
It's impossible not to notice that Park is also of Korean descent, just like Clegg's estranged husband Lee.
In a now-expired Instagram live, she remarked that she had dated Asian men and likes "their culture," and she has always found Asian men attractive.
It's safe to say that Clegg has a type and Park fits it.
Are Deavan and Topher engaged?
The pair sparked engagement rumors after Topher Park posted a series of Instagram pics of the two in which they were both wearing rings on their fingers.
"I see a ring!!!" one fan wrote.
Some fans think the pair took things one step further and are already married!
"Wait wait ARE YALL MARRIED?!" one fan wrote, while another said, "OMG are those rings I see?"
The couple has yet to respond to the rumors, but one thing's certain: Topher and Deavan seem happier than ever!
