TLC's 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days has yet again delivered another shocking development as a cast member, Tigerlily Taylor Abdelfattah, 41, announced the pregnancy with her 22-year-old husband Adnan Abdelfattah.
The couple, who met on social media and married within four months of their first online interaction, have been a source of constant discussion among viewers since their debut in season 7.
During their whirlwind romance, Tigerlily, a Texas single mother, traveled to Jordan to tie the knot to model, Adnan, on the same day they first met. On the December 22, 2024, episode, Tigerlily revealed that she was pregnant after having lower abdominal discomfort after going on a "baby-making trip" to Turkey with Adnan, who is still awaiting clearance for his spousal visa.
90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days fans voice their concerns
Fans have responded to the disclosure on social media in various ways, ranging from real concern to bewilderment. The seeming absence of basic communication between the couple over important areas of their lives together is one recurrent subject in the 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days viewers’ responses.
“She knows NOTHING about this man or his religion. What DID Tigerlily and Adnan have conversations about??? Baby. Baby. BABY. Baby. baby baby. Baby” One fan tweeted.
“TigerLilly basically married a college kid. Cmon.” another fan reacted.
Several viewers have emphasized how obviously contradictory Tigerlily's choices are on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days and the couple's age difference, and cultural differences have prompted followers to make predictions about potential future difficulties, ranging from parental dynamics to domestic duties.
“Tigerlily: He's controlling. He's manipulative. Also Tigerlily: We're going to make a baby.” a viewer observed.
“Tigerlily is going to be surprised when she becomes a married single mother because Adnan is not helping with anything - not one feeding, not one diaper change. NOTHING.” another fan commented.
“The fact that Tigerlily continues to be so blindsided every week by Muslim culture is almost impressive at this point” a fan pointed out.
“So Tigerlily left her controlling marriage and then jumped right back into a controlling relationship? Oh. Ok.” another fan commented.
What has Tigerlily and Adnan’s relationship problems been like so far?
Significant cultural changes and unforeseen demands have characterized Tigerlily and Adnan's relationship. Following their marriage, Tigerlily had to deal with both Islamic traditions and what she refers to as "Adnan rules"—specific standards for her social group and attire. Most significantly, Adnan stated that he hoped to have five children and even hinted that he could look for another bride if Tigerlily was unable to grant his request.
Despite these challenges, Tigerlily made the decision to try for a baby during their vacation in Turkey, specifically timing the trip around her "prime time ovulation window." The positive pregnancy test was revealed two weeks after her return to Texas, and it brought tears of joy as she contemplated Adnan's impending fatherhood.
However, the reality of potentially facing the early stages of pregnancy alone while waiting for Adnan's spousal visa approval has added another layer of complexity to their situation on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days.
As this season of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days continues to unfold, viewers remain divided on whether this pregnancy represents a positive step forward for the couple or adds another challenging dynamic to an already complex relationship. While some fans express frustration with what they perceive as rushed decision-making, others maintain hope that the couple will find their footing as they navigate this new chapter together.
90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on TLC.
