Hey everyone!
Today we will be talking about Tiffany and Ronald’s divorce
and the reasons behind their break up.
We will also talk about Tiffany’s bariatric surgery
and her weight loss progress so far.
90 Day Fiancé cast member Ronald Smith revealed
that he had filed for divorce from his estranged wife Tiffany Franco.
Ronald told "in Touch" that he and Tiffany have indeed gone their separate ways,
claiming he and his wife have been fighting for “some time” and they would be better off being single.
He said that they are calling it quits.
“She keeps pointing the finger at me,” said Ronald.
The latest drama between the two started when Ronald posted a selfie on Sunday, August 29,
thanking fans for their supportive messages amid rumors of their breakup.
Ronald captioned the post: “Living life to [the] fullest, nothing keeping or holding me down."
According to Ronald, Tiffany was unhappy he is posting selfies and she told him he may only post pictures of himself with her or the kids.
Ronald also posted on social media, claiming that Tiffany is controlling
Tiffany’s responded the following regarding the selfie drama:
“The issue was that [Ronald] posts certain things
whether it’s selfies or pictures of his truck
and he’s looking for a very specific response."
“I feel that it is my responsibility as his wife to help him when he’s down.
Unfortunately, [he’s] been down since I met him,
so, it’s been 5 plus years of me supporting him with nothing in return.”
Despite previously reconciling after a tumultuous, yet brief split in January 2020,
the couple appeared to be on the verge of a breakup in May 2021 and they got back together yet again,
only to face more relationship turmoil when they seemingly split in July for a third time.
The latest selfie drama further highlighted Tiffany’s disgruntlement with the financial aspect of their relationship.
According to Tiffany, she would always pay for everything
She claims Ronald is simply seeking attention from his fans.
Tiffany called her soon-to-be-ex-husband a cancer and wished him luck with “his new victim”.
Both Tiffany and Ronald confirm, that he is able to communicate with Daniel and Carley Rose.
In an interview to John Yates Tiffany revealed that she is going through a lot of changes in her life.
Apart from breaking up with Ronald, she is also losing weight and moved into a new apartment.
Also, Tiffany has launched her business,
she is selling eye shadow palettes
and planning to expand her make up offering to other products as well.
Tiffany does not negate the fact that her relationship with Ronald was toxic, and she admits that toxicity was coming both from her and from Ronald.
According to Tiffany, she was fighting with Ronald every single day during her stay in South Africa,
and while she still loves him, she feels resentment towards him.
According to Tiffany, Ronald is simply seeking validation online
He wants to prove to 90 day fiance fans that he’s now able to provide for the kids.
However, Tiffany claims it is not the case
and even Ronald’s new truck he purchased to start his handyman business is being financed by his mom.
She said he has been horrible with money
and they spent all their income from 90 day fiancé instead of saving it for the future.
For instance, Ronald was quick to purchase a motorcycle with TLC money.
Prior to Ronald filing for divorce, Tiffany reached out to her fans on Instagram
asking them for advice on divorce lawyers.
"Does anyone have any information about international divorce
married overseas but still living in two separate countries
how does one start the process?”
Tiffany asked in her story.
She said she had “applied for something online” but wanted to make sure she was doing the process the right way.
She also wrote back to a fan who said they had left an аbusive relationship and felt free.
“Can't wait till I can say the same.
My brain is like broken now can’t tell the difference between okay behavior and not okay behavior,"
Tiffany responded.
While 90 day fiance fans are quick to call out аbusers, many aren't sympathizing with Tiffany at all
due to the way she always puts Ronald down.
Others are shocked by the amount of personal drama she continues to make public.
Some viewers have compared Tiffany to her fellow 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way co-star and friend, Deavan Clegg,
since both women blame their husbands for their problems and start social media drama.
Though Tiffany is not earning much fan sympathy, neither is Ronald.
The majority of the viewers was angry when the South African man made it clear at the Tell-All that he couldn't stand Tiffany standing up for herself.
However, fans are also tired of Tiffany making herself the victim.
Many viewers say thatTiffany knew the exact relationship she was getting into,
yet she still chose to have Carley with Ronald and refer to him as Daniel's father.
The only people viewers sympathize with in this storyline are Carley and Daniel.
As announced at the Tell All, Tiffany has undergone a bariatric surgery at the end of June.
Tiffany has addressed some of the fans' questions about her surgery on social media
Tiffany said: “I did have a gastric sleeve, meaning they cut off 70 percent of my stomach inside.”
Tiffany also opened up about her weight loss struggle after giving birth to her daughter, Carley.
She says that she suffered from postpartum depression and was obsessed with trying to “snap back” to her pre-pregnancy weight.
The mother of two tried really hard to lose weight after Carley’s birth,
but severely restricting her diet backfired and eventually caused her to gain even more weigh.
Tiffany then tried keto and lost roughly 15 pounds.
“I was very happy,” Tiffany recalled.
“But then I went on vacation and it messed everything up."
Tiffany swears the reason she went for a surgery was because she wants to be healthy,
and it’s not about being fat or skinny, or looking for a new husband.
Tiffany said that the post-surgery requirements have been a bit of a struggle, and she has already faltered.
“To be honest, I’ve made a couple mistakes after my surgery,” Tiffany confessed,
“but that’s because you’re still getting over the mental aspect of this whole thing because obviously if you get to a heavy, heavy, heavy weight,
because obviously if you get to a heavy, heavy, heavy weight,
for the most part — you don’t have a super great relationship with food.
You either don't know when to stop, or you don't eat the right things.
Tiffany posted a new video to her TikTok this week showing she had achieved great results already.
Since her surgery over 2 months ago she had lost over 35 pounds.
