When it comes to the fans deciding how problematic a couple would be on 90 Day Fiancé, the reason is, more often than not, the age gaps. Since its premiere in 2014, the hit TLC reality show has seen couples with age gaps that have made fans gasp and ask “why?” to some that have been straight-up creepy.
However, there have been some romances on 90 Day Fiancé that are most memorable just for having the biggest age gaps of them all. Here’s a look at some of the largest - and probably creepiest - age differences among all the different spouses featured on 90 Day Fiancé.
Molly Hopkins and Luis Mendez (15 years)
Georgia’s Molly was 41 when she met Dominican Republic’s Luis, 26, at a bar while she was on a vacation in his hometown. The season 5 couple were met with great disapproval from 90 Day Fiancé Pillow Talk star Molly’s daughter Olivia and also her father who doubted Luis’ intentions. And as expected, even though Molly and Luis got married within 90 days, they broke up shortly after 6 months. And Molly’s family’s claims did turn true when Luis remarried in September 2018, just five months following their divorce.
Danielle Mullins and Mohamed Jbali (15 years)
One of the most and also earliest controversial couples on 90 Day Fiancé were season 2 pair Danielle, 41, and Luis, 26. After meeting in an online chat room, Mohamed moved to Ohio from Tunisia to stay with Molly and her three grown kids until the couple found out about each others’ lies. Mohamed left Danielle within days of their wedding, she filed for divorce wanting for him to get deported, as he complained about her smelly privates. Still, as per recent claims, the 90 Day Fiancé couple is still in contact, shocking a sea of fans.
Darcey Silva and Jesse Meester (18 years)
The mother of two Darcey, 42, met Jesse from Amsterdam, 24, for the time on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days for a rocky relationship that lasted for three seasons. Although Darcey is now engaged to a new boy toy Georgi Rusev, her explosive fights with Jesse about cutting meat on a bias and then throwing her Christian Louboutin shoe at him will never be forgotten.
Laura and Aladin Jallali (22 years)
An online romance made insecure Laura, 51, from Florida jump into holy matrimony with Aladin, 29, from Qatar only to have a list of controversies that rocked their TLC world. Cultural differences and lies - involving Laura claiming to be pregnant - finally led to a divorce between the 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way pair. Meanwhile, Laura now dates a guy even younger than Aladin, while he is rumored to be engaged to a new ladylove.
Angela Deem and Michael Illesanmi (22 years)
Angela Deem may have lost a lot of weight now, but she did gain Nigeria’s Michael as a husband in 2020. The couple, who met online when Angela was 52 and Michael was 31, has had plenty of arguments over trust issues, culture, possible theft, and also her inability to have kids. However, this 90 Day Fiancé pair did see a happy ending with Angela now waiting for Michael to arrive in America as she flaunts her skinny self on Instagram.
Rebecca Parrott and Zied Hakimi (22 years)
Not only was Georgia's Rebecca, 49, married before meeting Tunisia's Zied, 27, on Facebook, she was also married thrice. But Zied fell for Rebecca's filters and soon proposed marriage in the middle of the Sahara desert. Their cultural differences and age gap made way for Zied to come to America in 90 Day Fiancé season 8, and Rebecca also got married to him in 2020.
Stephanie Davison and Ryan Carr (25 years)
A couple from 90 Day Fiancé season 8, Stephanie, 51, from Grand Rapids, and Ryan, 27, from Belize have been dating for three years before documenting their sugar mama and baby love on the show. While lots of red flags including Stephanie cheating on Ryan with his cousin persist, 90 Day Fiancé fans have been spoiled with news about the Skin Envy owner already moving on to a new, also younger guy – Quincy Carver.
Jenny Slatten and Sumit Singh (29 years)
Possibly with the biggest of all age gaps in the 90 Day Fiancé universe between a female American and her partner, Sumit and Jenny still aren’t married due to societal pressures. Jenny, 61, a mother to three daughters and four grandchildren back in Palm Springs had met Sumit, 32, a man who’d lied to her about his marriage, almost nine years ago. But with no ring or wedding bells in sight, it’s possible that Sumit and Jenny have many more seasons of 90 Day Fiancé to go before they get his parents’ blessings.
