So, the news is out. If you've been following the whirlwind chaos that is 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, you already know that Tigerlily Taylor and Adnan Abdelfattah don't exactly do "slow and steady." They got married about fifteen minutes after meeting in person (okay, it was technically the same day she landed in Jordan), and barely a heartbeat later, we got the Tigerlily and Adnan baby announcement.
It’s the kind of update that makes you double-check your screen.
Tigerlily, a 41-year-old mother of two from Texas, and Adnan, a 23-year-old model from Jordan, aren’t exactly the "white picket fence" type. Their relationship has been a lightning rod for criticism, mostly because of the massive age gap and the pretty jarring cultural clashes we saw on TV. But despite the skeptics, the couple confirmed they are expanding their family. Honestly, it’s a lot to process.

The Turkey Trip and That Positive Test
The whole thing kicked off during a "baby-making trip" to Turkey. Tigerlily was super open about the fact that they weren't leaving things to chance. She actually tracked her ovulation window to make sure the timing was perfect for their meeting.
It worked.
Shortly after returning to the States, she filmed herself taking a pregnancy test. When those two lines showed up, she looked genuinely shocked but thrilled. Because Adnan was still in Jordan waiting on his spousal visa at the time, she had to sit on the news for a bit. She didn't want to tell him over a choppy FaceTime call. She wanted that face-to-face reaction.
Meet Baby Zeyn
Fast forward through the drama, and we actually have a name. The couple welcomed a baby boy named Zeyn.
There was a bit of a funny—or maybe slightly awkward—moment regarding the naming process. Tigerlily originally floated the name "Air." You know, like Kylie Jenner's son, Aire? But Adnan had to shut that down pretty quickly. Apparently, in Arabic, that word has a... much different meaning. Specifically, it’s slang for male genitalia.
Bullet dodged there.
Zeyn is a traditional, strong Arabic name, and it seems to fit the couple's vibe of blending their two worlds. We saw glimpses of him during the Season 7 Tell All, where the couple appeared surprisingly united.
Why People Are Worried
Look, let’s be real. The internet hasn’t been 100% supportive.
People are worried. You’ve seen the episodes. Adnan has been very vocal about his "rules"—no male friends, conservative clothing, and a general expectation that his word is law. Tigerlily, who came from a previous ten-year marriage she described as controlling, seems to have jumped right back into a similar dynamic.
- The Age Gap: At 41 and 23, they are at very different life stages.
- The Visa Stress: For a long time, it wasn't clear if Adnan would even make it to the U.S. for the birth.
- Cultural Clashes: Tigerlily’s "glam" lifestyle (the wigs, the designer clothes, the jewelry) often hits a wall when it meets Adnan’s conservative values.
Despite the red flags that fans love to point out, Adnan did eventually get his visa approved. He’s currently in Texas with Tigerlily and the kids. Seeing him get emotional during the ultrasound clips was one of the few "soft" moments we've seen from him, which gave some fans hope that fatherhood might mellow out his controlling tendencies.
What’s Next for the Couple?
Life with a newborn is hard enough when you don't have cameras following you and a spouse who just moved halfway across the world.
The Tigerlily and Adnan baby announcement wasn't just a social media post; it was a pivot point for their entire narrative. They’ve moved from "impulsive reality stars" to "parents trying to blend a family." Tigerlily already has two sons from her previous marriage, so she’s a pro at this, but for Adnan, it’s a total 180 from his modeling life in Jordan.

If you’re looking to follow their journey more closely, keep an eye on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?. The rumors are swirling that they’ve been filming for the spin-off, which would make sense. We need to see how Adnan adjusts to life in the suburbs and whether Tigerlily sticks to her guns regarding her independence.
Practical Steps for Fans:
If you want to stay updated without getting lost in the rumor mill, stick to the official TLC clips or Tigerlily’s verified Instagram. She’s pretty active there, though she does tend to crop her photos strategically when she's trying to hide a storyline secret. Also, if you’re interested in the cultural nuances they deal with, looking into Jordanian marital traditions can give you a lot of context that the show often edits out for drama.
This relationship is a wild ride, but for now, Baby Zeyn is the center of their world. Whether the marriage lasts is anyone's guess, but they are definitely committed to the "expanding the family" part of the plan.
