The Untold Truth Of 90 Day Fiance's Brittany And Yazan

90 Day Fiance: The Other Way star Brittany Banks, a Palm Beach, Fla., resident and aspiring rapper, fell in love with Jordan-based Yazan Abo Horira virtually. Here's what went down: Yazan is the brother of a woman who lives in the same Chicago apartment building as Brittany's sister, and during one of Brittany's visits to Chi-town, she accidentally interrupted Yazan and his sister's FaceTime session, per ET Online. The two began a relationship from there, with Yazan paying for Brittany to visit him in Jordan. They got engaged during this trip, with Brittany ultimately relocating to the country.

However, this love story isn't so simple. That's because Brittany has no plans to convert to Islam, despite it being extremely important to Yazan and his conservative family. She also doesn't intend to give up drinking or any hints of her life back in America. Although Brittany can do what she pleases, it's a little awkward considering Yazan seemingly assumed she'd change for his benefit. Oops.

Oh, and then there's the tricky subject of Brittany's first marriage to a man who she met at 17. Despite ending the relationship when her ex got deported back to Haiti, they never formally got divorced, per Starcasm. This snag is a big deal considering Yazan's parents pressured him to marry Brittany right away, not knowing the truth about her marital status. What could go wrong, right?

But just when you thought this relationship couldn't get any trickier, a cheating rumor surfaced against Yazan. 

It's safe to say Brittany Banks and Yazan Abo Horira's relationship didn't begin on the right foot. Not only was Yazan outraged when he found a bottle of liquor in Brittany's suitcase, but he also wasn't happy that she had hugged producers. The incident led to a screaming match in the car, which was 50 shades of troubling. 

Just when you thought the romance couldn't get bumpier, Brittany took to Instagram in June 2020 to issue multiple claims against Yazan. "Fun facts about us," she reportedly captioned a now-deleted picture, per Showbiz Cheat Sheet. "Yazan's favorite drink is Jack Daniels. Yazan loves hashish, tramadol, and gaslighting women." She continued, "He also loves to cheat with '90 Day Fiancé' fans. He's on his third one. His favorite pastime is blaming others for his actions. Enjoy @yazan_abuhurira did I miss anything? Should I honorably mention your out of control temper?"

Brittany didn't stop there — she also took to her Instagram Story, writing, "Woke up in a f*ck you mood. Tired of misogynists who think they can groom women. Ima kill all that on behalf of my ladies. F*ck misogynists..."

The Florida resident later claimed she got hacked, although it's not exactly clear what happened. Showbiz Cheat Sheet theorized Brittany gave the hacking excuse to protect her non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with TLC.

Unfortunately, Brittany and Yazan aren't the only 90 Day Fiance stars struggling — Corey and Evelin's relationship is also rocky.

As we touched on earlier, Brittany Banks won't convert to Islam for Yazan Abo Horira. "I'm not gonna convert to any religion for anybody," she reiterated to Entertainment Tonight in June 2020. As for why? "I don't think that's a good idea for anybody," she said. "If you do it, it should be for God, not for a man."

Although Brittany does don a hijab while in Jordan, as she noted to the outlet, she's hesitant to change in other ways. "If I sacrifice anything ... it's going to be for myself because I decide that it's a good decision," she added. "It's not gonna be for anybody else or for any man because that's the only way I'm going to stick to it, if it's really for myself and something I believe in. I think it's unfair, really, to try to change yourself for any other person."

Despite Yazan's initial anger at Brittany's apparent desire to keep drinking (remember how she stashed a bottle of liquor in her suitcase?), it sounds like he is coming around to her way of life. "[Yazan] gets where I'm coming from," she noted to ET.

Brittany Banks is a few years older than Yazan Abo Horira, which is a pretty standard age gap. So some fans might be surprised to learn that before hooking up with Yazan, Brittany dated an 85-year-old man. Life is full of twists and turns, no?

As Brittany explained to Entertainment Tonight (via Yahoo Entertainment), the two had a lot in common. "He liked to go to the gym," she explained. "I love to workout. He liked to go to the gym and he liked to go for long bike rides. I went for bike rides every morning. So, we just did stuff together all the time that we both enjoy doing and we just ended up dating." The reality star added, "At one point I just stopped seeing his age and I was just looking at his soul and it was amazing. And I was just like 'well you're great.'"

Well, if things don't work out with Yazan, maybe Brittany should give her older ex a ring.
