90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days participant Adnan Abdelfattah is increasingly being viewed as egocentric and self-serving, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. His marriage to American woman Tigerlily Taylor, whom he met via Instagram, has sparked discussions among fans about the dynamics of their relationship, especially given the cultural challenges that come with marrying a Muslim man without an understanding of his background. Remarkably, the couple exchanged vows just four months after connecting online.
Tigerlily made a bold transition into this relationship shortly after leaving her controlling second marriage. At the time they connected, Adnan, only 22, was pursuing a modeling career while Tigerlily, 41, was a single mother of two. Ignoring their significant age gap and differing lifestyles, Tigerlily was drawn in by Adnan’s charm, overlooking his tendency to exhibit a superiority complex— a red flag that would later impact their relationship.

During their time together, Adnan made it clear to Tigerlily that marrying him meant adopting a completely new lifestyle. He warned her, “When you get married to me, nothing is the same,” which indicated to Tigerlily that her previous life would be sacrificed. This realization came as a shock after she was led to believe their lives would transform positive in tandem. Adnan added that any lack of research on her part concerning his cultural expectations was not his concern.
Without any family support in Jordan, aside from her elderly mother and two young sons, Tigerlily managed her trip alone. Her only companions were her glam squad—her aesthetician, Shay, and hairstylist, Cruz—who encouraged her to participate in the series. Adnan, however, resented her bringing Cruz, insisting she end her male friendships following their marriage and effectively isolating her as he tightened his grip.

He even forced her to wear a bikini that she found incredibly uncomfortable.

She realized his stringent rules would likely only intensify over time.
