'90 Day Fiancé' Stars Nicole and Azan Are "Stronger Than Ever"

Now that 90 Day Fiancé has been on the air for more than five years, it’s hard to keep track of all the couples that have been featured on the show. One pair who continually piques fans’ interests is Nicole Nafziger and Azan Tefou.

The duo first appeared on the TLC series in Season 4 and their on-again-off-again relationship was also featured on Season 5. Scroll down for an update on the reality stars’ rumored split.

Though fans assumed Nicole and Azan’s relationship had possibly ended due to their long distance, she recently cleared up rumors about her engagement status. Last month, the reality star told In Touch Weekly that the pair are “happily engaged and waiting for the right moment to tie the knot" in the future.  

Additionally, she confirmed that while it "isn't easy" maintaining a long distance romance, she stated: "We are happy and truly stronger than ever in our relationship."  

Reports of their breakup circulated when she removed the word "fiancée" from her Instagram bio in mid-March, but the 26-year-old shot down rumors by posting a picture with her ring on March 29. 

The mother-of-one and her fiancé have postponed their nuptials twice before. The first time, Nicole brought copies instead of official documents for their marriage license and visa. The second time, the pair claimed it was too expensive and decided to use the money they had saved to open a beauty shop in Morocco.

When Nicole contributed $6,000 to the business and Azan only put in $500, the bride-to-be’s mom grew concerned. "I am surprised the purchasing of the store takes precedence over the wedding," she said. "That looks suspicious. Maybe this whole store thing is Azan’s get-rich-quick scheme. [He’s] going to be gone with your money!" 

The Moroccan was also accused of cheating after audio of him flirting with another woman surfaced on the TLC show. "I want a kiss right now. The kiss was good. What did you dream about last night? I think you want it," Azan could be heard saying in the recordings.

According to Radar Online, he denied cheating on Nicole and blamed his behavior on alcohol. "He had an explanation and said, 'That was before I met you,'" Nicole's stepfather, Joe Fouraker, told the site last summer. "She believed him. She wants to believe the best in people. She isn’t mature enough to understand people will take advantage of her. She’s a foolish young lady."

The 27-year-old hasn’t been able to obtain a K-1 visa in order to come to the United States, so Nicole has been visiting him in Morocco. According to her stepdad, she was there for almost six months at one point, but had to return to Florida where she’s now living with her daughter, May. 

Though the two are apart, Nicole recently shared a snap of her beau on Instagram. She also addressed the hate she has received on social media, telling fans, "All the haters in the world can talk about me and my life but no one will knock me down from where I am. I’m living my life spreading positivity and kindness."

She added: "No one can throw off my vibe. God made me with the spirit of kindness and I’ll show it til the day I die. Come one come all haters, you won’t phase me. But you can watch what happiness looks like and maybe you learn a thing or two. Good day friends." 

So, will the hopeless romantic eventually end up moving to Morocco full time in order to be with the love of her life? We’ll have to wait and see.
