Tigerlily, 41, learned she was expecting baby No. 1 with her model spouse during the Sunday, December 22, episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. Two weeks after returning from a trip to visit Adnan, 22, in Turkey, the mom of two was ordered to take a pregnancy test after suffering lower abdominal issues.
After learning the test was positive and she was pregnant, Tigerlily decided to wait to tell Adnan the news in person. "I just hope he gets his spousal visa approved as soon as possible because how am I going to do this alone?" she worriedly told the cameras.
Adnan and Tigerlily introduced their romance to fans on season 7 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, which premiered on TLC in September. Tigerlily, a single mother from Texas, followed Adnan on social media after thinking he was "perfect." After four months of video chatting online, Tigerlily decided to travel to Jordan to meet him in person for the first time. The couple also planned to get married on the same day, in accordance with his Muslim faith.
After making it down the aisle, fans suspected Adnan and Tigerlily had already welcomed their first child, as they revealed during the 90 Day Fiancé spinoff that they were actively trying to conceive.
TLC viewers believe Adnan dropped a clue in early October that his and Tigerlily's efforts were successful in growing their family. In a social media Q&A with fans, Adnan was asked when he and Tigerlily were going to start having kids. In a cryptic response, he replied, "Everything from Allah we will be happy with. We have first one [sic]," adding a green checkmark emoji.
Weeks later, Adnan shared a photo of a newborn child via his Instagram Stories, with many of his followers believing the infant to be his first kid, according to TLC blogger @90DayFiancé_Alexa.
On November 10, Tigerlily added to the speculation while hosting her own Instagram Q&A. When a fan asked, "Are u pregnant yet? And I love you guys relationship just so cute to watch the love story," Tigerlily responded, "Thank you! Stay tuned." She also included the "eyes" emoji, hinting that she had a secret to share.
Tigerlily is a mother to two children from a previous relationship. She spoke in depth about her previous marriage to her second husband, Darren Mark Taylor -- which she compared to a "golden bird cage." She explained that she met her ex-husband at 30, and after becoming pregnant, they decided to marry. Despite their messy divorce, she made sure she and her children were "well taken care of" after the legal proceedings.
"We lived in a fancy house, I was able to buy fancy clothes, shoes, handbags, but he was very controlling," she told producers during the season 7 premiere. "I wasn't allowed to have friends and I felt like marriage equaled prison for me."
