Nicole Sherbiny’s Secret Life Before 90 Day Fiancé Explained

Summary

• Nicole Sherbiny is from a small town named Council, where she found life boring and knew there was more out there.
• After a career working with a veterinarian, Nicole pursued fashion design, graduating with honors and developing a passion for clothes.
• Nicole met her husband, Mahmoud, in Egypt after a soul journey, marrying him only seven days later and eventually settling in the U.S.

90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? star Nicole Sherbiny is mysterious and loves to keep her past before the show a secret. The American woman, Nicole, is married to Mahmoud El Sherbiny from Cairo. Nicole and Mahmoud have a nine-year age gap between them, apart from their obvious religious and cultural differences. While Nicole converted to Islam when she married Mahmoud, she didn’t think too much about it. Nicole didn’t even tell anyone back home she was marrying Mahmoud. However, once reality dawned upon Nicole, she realized how different it was to live in Egypt than it was to visit.

Nicole managed to get Mahmoud to America on a spousal visa, and this time, she refused to bend over backwards for him and his rules. Mahmoud was miserable in the U.S. and noticed Nicole’s stubbornness, which made him insist he wanted a divorce. Mahmoud walked out of Nicole’s apartment without knowing where to go. While Nicole managed to get a hold of her husband and take him back home, their marriage wasn’t in a good place at all. While viewers wait and see what lies in Nicole’s future, here’s a look at her past that’s just as mysterious.
