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.
8 Adnan’s Attitude Towards Tigerlily’s Friends

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.
7 Adnan Dictated Tigerlily’s Wardrobe Choices
Once in Jordan, Adnan took it upon himself to select Tigerlily’s outfits, particularly for her introduction to his family. He was notably critical of any attire that exposed her arms or featured a lower neckline. On returning to the U.S., Adnan compelled her to donate virtually all of her clothes, including unworn pieces, which left her devastated. He even forced her to wear a bikini that she found incredibly uncomfortable.

When Tigerlily sought a chiropractor for pain relief, Adnan displayed a troubling ignorance about male healthcare providers, feeling threatened and insisting she only consult women. This demand represented a significant compromise of her autonomy, further reinforcing how little control she had over personal matters since marrying him.

While Adnan enforced strict clothing regulations on Tigerlily, he flaunted his own body on social media by sharing provocative images, including shirtless selfies. This glaring hypocrisy did not sit well with Tigerlily, who recognized that Adnan’s expectation for her to conform to rigid standards while he remained unrestrained was a reflection of his innate arrogance. She realized his stringent rules would likely only intensify over time.

Adnan’s lavish lifestyle, characterized by luxury cars and frequent international travels, certainly captured Tigerlily’s attention. Despite her own wealth as a self-proclaimed multi-millionaire, Adnan may have leveraged his family’s financial status to showcase a life of privilege that could reinforce his desires for entitlement. This pattern carried over to their wedding, where he took pleasure in boasting about financing the entire celebration.

In a revealing moment on social media, Adnan was asked by a fan whether his feelings for Tigerlily were genuine or if he was simply seeking a green card. His response—”Green card + baby” accompanied by a laughing emoji—suggested a potential lack of commitment that could leave Tigerlily vulnerable in the long run. This raises questions about the sincerity of Adnan’s intentions, especially considering Tigerlily’s previous concerns regarding marital visa issues.

Reports indicate that Tigerlily became pregnant following a trip to Turkey, and rumors suggest their child is now five months old.

Tigerlily appears to have adopted many aspects of Adnan’s faith and lifestyle, leading to speculation about whether Adnan will reciprocate the sacrifices she made for him.
