Tiger Lily Taylor has revealed details about her financial situation after marrying Adnan Abdelfattah on Season 7 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days. She met Jordanian Adnan through social media and felt a strong connection with him. Despite the 19-year age difference and cultural barriers, Tiger Lily continued to date Adnan. After just four months of dating, the couple decided to get married to consummate their relationship. At the beginning of the 90 Day Fiancé spinoff, Tiger Lily traveled to Jordan with her makeup team and married Adnan the day she arrived.
Unfortunately, Tiger Lily and Adnan’s journey did not go as smoothly as expected. She wondered if marrying Adnan was the right choice as she had to deal with the strict rules of Islam. Tiger Lily’s reticence stemmed from her past failed relationships, as she had a controlling husband who made her feel like a prisoner. Although her husband was a good provider, he prevented her from living freely. Tiger Lily’s latest relationship with her 22-year-old boyfriend also showed similar red flags considering his strict culture and religion. But somehow things worked out for the American woman and her Jordanian lover.
