Tigerlily Taylor and Adnan Abdelfattah tied the knot recently on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. However, it appears that their marriage is already facing significant difficulties. The couple initially connected on Instagram and made a swift decision to marry just four months into their relationship. Although Tigerlily is 19 years older than Adnan, she ventured to Jordan accompanied by her glam squad to wed him. While their romance seemed passionate at first, tensions soon arose, primarily due to Adnan’s strong adherence to his religious beliefs and his controlling tendencies. He set strict limitations on Tigerlily, forbidding her from employing a male hairdresser and demanding she dress more conservatively.
Ignoring warnings from her friends and glam squad, Tigerlily married Adnan in Jordan without securing a prenuptial agreement. Following their wedding, Adnan’s controlling behavior intensified. During season 7 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, Tigerlily shared with a friend that Adnan prohibited her from visiting a male chiropractor. After a heated argument where she chose not to answer his calls, he was hospitalized due to shortness of breath and dizziness. Despite these alarming incidents, Tigerlily chose to travel to Turkey to meet Adnan and continue their family planning discussions.

Tigerlily Believes Adnan Is Plotting an Exit Plan
As their relationship develops, Tigerlily is becoming increasingly aware of potential risks to her financial assets. In a recent episode, she confided in her friends about Adnan’s decisions concerning his apartment in Jordan and his choice to assign his brother, Thaer, as power of attorney, granting him control over his business dealings. This has sparked concerns for Tigerlily, who fears he may be planning an exit strategy.
Tigerlily stated, “I have no idea what’s going to happen and I don’t know where we go from here.”
Expressing her unease about Adnan’s financial choices, Tigerlily requested that he rescind the power of attorney. However, Adnan rejected her proposal, insisting he is capable of managing his affairs in Jordan. He rationalized the designation by stating, “when I give Thaer power of attorney and something goes wrong, he can go to court and fix it.”To safeguard her finances, Tigerlily ultimately decided that a “post-marital agreement”should be established to keep their financial matters separate.

Despite her claims of being a multi-millionaire, Tigerlily recently revealed her decision to take on new employment. When viewers probing into her financial background learned that she accrued her wealth by the age of 40, she credited her grandfather for helping her establish an investment portfolio early on, thus ensuring her financial independence. She also denied receiving any alimony from her former husband, a successful CEO, affirming that her wealth is a result of her own investments and business endeavors.
Recently, Tigerlily publicized her new faculty position at the institution where she earned her certification as a handwriting expert. She has been actively promoting her role on social media and responding to aspiring students’ queries.

From the outset of their relationship, Tigerlily struggled to understand Adnan’s cultural and religious context, which led to frequent disputes over marital expectations. For instance, she was disappointed when her request to wear a swimsuit at the pool was met with disapproval. Additionally, Tigerlily maintained a double standard by insisting Adnan also adhere to specific clothing guidelines. Viewers witnessed the couple’s complicated interactions amidst misunderstandings of customs related to Islam.
Recently, however, it seems Tigerlily has started to suppress her own voice to maintain peace in the marriage. A preview of the 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days Tell All revealed a hesitant Tigerlily, seemingly reluctant to challenge Adnan. Host Shaun Robinson even probed her about whether she was “holding back”or “afraid to upset”her husband. Although Tigerlily denied any fear, viewer comments suggested a different reality: “she has to walk on eggshells and it will only get worse,”resonating with the show’s fans.

While many fans enjoy Tigerlily’s spirited demeanor on the show, there has been criticism directed at her, labeling her as desperate for affection and attention. Critics note that her rushed decision to marry Adnan during their first meeting in Jordan suggests a lack of patience in allowing their relationship to grow naturally. Furthermore, Adnan’s youth, being only 22 years old, raises concerns about his readiness to take on the responsibilities of being a stepfather to Tigerlily’s two children.
Tigerlily, now 41 and significantly older than Adnan, recently faced a provocative suggestion from a fan regarding the possibility of Adnan marrying another woman. Following Islamic tradition, men are permitted to have up to four wives, leading one viewer to ask if she would accept this arrangement. Her emphatic response, jokingly asserting that “he knows I’d [knife emoji] him,”underscores the complicated dynamics of authority within their relationship. While her words may have been laced with humor, they reveal deeper issues of control that challenge the foundations of their marriage.
