90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days star Matilda Nti succeeded in tricking Niles Valentine into marrying her, and here’s how I think it happened. Niles is a 27-year-old man from Mobile, Alabama. The autistic Niles has described his struggles and how his condition affects his decision-making skills even in day-to-day life. Niles’ bluntness didn’t help him make a lot of friends, but he did find a girlfriend online. Niles didn’t get along with other people due to his autism, but with Matilda, things were different.

Matilda is from Offinso, Ghana. Matilda is a 23-year-old with big dreams and a yearning to move out of her small town where she has no job and has to help her mother sell plantains since her father passed away. While I don’t think it was a valid reason for Matilda to scam Niles, she was feeling suffocated in her hometown and thought of herself as someone who deserved better. Matilda had big ambitions, and Niles was going to help her achieve them, even though he seemed oblivious to every warning about Matilda potentially being a fraud.

The Way Niles & Matilda Met Is Sketchy

How Did Matilda Find “Valentine” On Valentine’s Day?

I felt that the story Niles told viewers about how he met Matilda was genuinely scary. Matilda and Niles did not know each other or have any mutual friends when they met on social media. Niles recalled Matilda having sent him a DM out of nowhere. Matilda had messaged Niles saying, “Hi Valentine. How are you” The date that Matilda had sent the message was February 15 and the time was 5:49 am. I found it weird that a 20-year-old Matilda had randomly started chatting with a stranger named “Valentine” on what looks like Facebook on Valentine’s Day.

90 Day Fiance‘s Niles himself added that he thought what was happening to him was too good to be true. I wonder if Niles was concerned and thought he was being catfished because the woman in the profile’s photos was very beautiful. Niles and Matilda dated for two years. They talked every day, whenever they could. Niles gave his heart to Matilda when he told her he had autism, and she accepted Niles for who he was.

Niles was the one who proposed to Matilda over the phone because he couldn’t wait anymore.

Matilda Had Already Planned The Wedding

Matilda Just Wanted Niles To Do As She Said

It was just five months before Niles and Matilda started filming 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 7 when Niles asked her to marry him. Niles was very happy when Matilda said yes. However, I remember a worried Niles telling the cameras that he was surprised at how quickly things started going from there. Matilda had gone “full steam ahead” and was planning everything for a wedding during his trip to Ghana. It started stressing Niles out. Niles assumed it was a cultural thing when Matilda began rushing the process of being married so soon.
