In an exclusive interview, Amani and Matt, the latest couple to join the “90 Day Fiancé” franchise, addressed claims that they are seeking fame rather than sharing an authentic story. Amani, who describes herself as the “Chris Jenner” of her family, revealed that their journey began with a pitch to the network after they became fans of the show. “I pitched the story to the network, and they loved it,” she said. “If any place would talk about a throuple, it would be ’90 Day Fiancé.'”
As the first throuple featured on the show, Amani expressed mixed feelings about their newfound recognition. “It feels real but also scary,” she admitted, acknowledging the intense scrutiny from the show’s devoted fanbase. “This is controversial, and people will have a lot of opinions.” The couple, who previously appeared on Netflix’s “How to Get Rich,” insists their motivation for joining “90 Day Fiancé” is not merely for fame but to share a narrative that resonates with many viewers.
Addressing skepticism from fans who believe their story leans more toward shock value, Matt emphasized that their intention is to inspire those in similar situations. “We didn’t apply for another show,” he said. “There’s a cause behind this.” Amani echoed this sentiment, stating that they aim to shed light on the experiences of women who are married, have children, and identify as bisexual. “I want to inspire people to not think that their life is over because they’re married and have kids,” she said.
While some viewers have expressed concern about the authenticity of their storyline, Amani argues that all participants in reality television have their own motives. “I would be a hypocrite if I said that’s not the case,” she acknowledged. “But I’ve always been transparent about our intentions.” The couple’s candidness about their relationship, which includes a girlfriend named Anie from Mexico, challenges conventional narratives about love and partnership.
The discussion also touched on the evolution of “90 Day Fiancé,” with Amani noting that the show has grown more diverse and inclusive over the years. “It has evolved to include more representation, and I think that’s important,” she stated, highlighting how the show has addressed various relationship dynamics that viewers may not encounter in their everyday lives.
As they prepare for their debut on the series, both Amani and Matt are eager to share their story while bracing for the rollercoaster of emotions that come with reality television. “This season has been insane,” Amani said. “We’ve discovered so much about ourselves and our relationship.”
Fans can expect a compelling narrative that not only explores the dynamics of their unique relationship but also aims to provide insight into the lives of individuals navigating similar experiences. As the couple gears up for their television debut, they remain steadfast in their commitment to authenticity and representation in the reality TV landscape.
