90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days star Tigerlily Taylor is much more open to revealing her past secrets to fans, unlike most other cast members in the franchise. Tigerlily was 31 years old when she became pregnant with her first child. The pregnancy led to Tigerlily marrying her baby daddy.

It took her a long time to escape the toxic marriage. Tigerlily’s divorce took four years.
Interestingly, Tigerlily has left no trace of her previous life before Adnan and 90 Day Fiancé on her social media. She has a new name, new hair, a new look, and a new husband. Tigerlily’s nearly blank Instagram feed makes a lot of her fans curious. Thankfully, Tigerlily chooses to reply to their questions about her past through her weekly Q&A sessions. Tigerlily gets to spill her heart out during these sessions with her fans while also letting them get a sneak peek into her exclusive life before and after she filmed season 8.
