Overview

On June 29, 2020, Entertainment Weekly announced that Darcey Silva and her twin sister Stacey are getting their own reality show called Darcey & Stacey.[1] The sisters and their family appeared in an exclusive interview and photo shoot for Entertainment Weekly, when they announced their new show.[1] TLC released a 2-minute trailer of the show on July 21, 2020.[8]

Darcey Silva, alongside sister Stacey, appeared on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days for four seasons between 2017 and 2020.[9] 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days documented Darcey's relationships with Jesse and later with Tom, but both relationships ended.[10] Darcey and Stacey live in the same house with their children and the sisters got divorced from their former husbands on the same day.[11][12]

Premise

The series follows the lives of identical twins Darcey and Stacey Silva in Middletown, Connecticut.[13] Stacey has two teenage sons and Darcey has two teenage daughters, Aniko and Aspen, who can be seen on the series.[14] It regularly featured members of their family such as Darcey and Stacey's divorced parents, Mike and Nancy. The series focuses on Stacey's five-year relationship with her Albanian fiancé, Florian Sukaj and Darcey's new Bulgarian boyfriend, Georgi Rusev.[15][16] Florian's K-1 visa was approved and he meets Stacey in New York City. Florian faces cheating accusations, when he is caught posing in pictures with another woman.[17] Darcey and her new boyfriend Georgi began talking online and the two later met in Miami. Darcey explains on camera that Georgi is a masseur from Bulgaria, but he lives in Arlington, Virginia.[18] Darcey and Georgi have an argument and she asks if Georgi has a secret child.[18]

In the show's second season, Darcey is having issues with Georgi after learning that he was on "sugar mama websites" and he hid money on a sock.[19] Darcey is also left hurt after Georgi reached out to her ex-boyfriend Jesse.[20] Stacey and Florian discuss having children in the future and during a doctor's appointment Stacey finds out that she has a cyst on her ovary.[21] In the season finale, the twins travel to Turkey to undergo plastic surgery and Darcey breaks up with Georgi.[22][23][24] In a preview for the third season, Darcey's daughter Aniko, can be seen competing in a pageant while the twins are busy promoting their fashion line.[6] During the show's third season, Darcey and Georgi attend couple's counseling and later announce plans to have a dual wedding with Stacey and Florian in Miami.[25]
