Avery Mills and Omar Albakour may have separated from the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, but they are still making their voices heard, most recently sharing their stance on hijab. Both halves of the loving couple have spoken about the importance of faith to them. American Avery converted to Islam before meeting her future husband on a Muslim dating app. Avery has stated that her faith is very important to her and it clearly plays a role in her loving relationship with her Syrian husband. The couple took to their Instagram Stories to defend wearing hijab in Western culture, as many people still experience discrimination for the religious garment.
The couple recently experienced a life change as Omar had his U.S. visa approved after a long waiting time. The couple had formerly been happily residing in Dubai, with Ohio native Avery praising the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as an extremely safe country to live in. However, the couple now finds themselves living in New Jersey. They have explained that the sudden move is to be near family and help further Omar's career in dentistry. Omar has siblings in New Jersey, while Avery has many friends and family in the United States. Though the couple appears to be adjusting well to their lives in America, they made sure to speak out against discrimination on social media.
Avery, who appears to run the couple's Instagram account, made an Instagram Story to defend wearing hijab, as some Western countries mandate removing the religious garment. She reposted several images and videos that defended a woman's right to wear hijab. One Instagram post she cited stated that if people aren't bothered by a nun wearing a habit but are offended by a woman wearing hijab then, "it's not your faith, it's your bigotry." She also reposted a tweet that stated, "Western countries that force women to TAKE OFF hijab is not only the same form of control, but worse: it's systematic anti-Muslim hate." Avery then shared a TikTok video that spoke out against attempts to ban hijabs in France.
Defending hijab and Islam appear to be very important to Avery. In the past, she has opened up about her Muslim faith. She has stated that converting to Islam was one of the best decisions she has ever made, as it made her the best version of herself. The American added that her mother saw how converting to Islam changed her for the better. Avery has also shared that the couple has experienced discrimination for their faith. This might be one of the reasons why they no longer want to broadcast their relationship on television. However, the couple also has a lot of support. Avery is considered to be a kind and loving franchise woman who many admire.
Omar and Avery no longer appear in 90 Day Fiancé content, but they have become a fan-favorite couple. The duo has grown a large Instagram and YouTube following. Many of their followers are inspired by their story and appreciate the honest and loving couple. Fans appear largely respectful and appreciative of the couple's strong faith on social media. Avery and Omar are open with their fans and enjoy sharing cooking videos and more about their lives. The couple has made it clear that they are done with the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. However, they plan to release new YouTube videos soon and share more about their new life together in the United States.
