After being single for four years and dating around quite a bit, Memphis -- who called herself spontaneous and fun -- met a "special" guy named Hamza eight months prior to filming 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days.
Memphis is a single mom to a 13-year-old daughter named Kennedi, whom she welcomed from a relationship that took place 14 years ago, as well as a six-year-old son, whom she shares custody of with her ex-husband.
Memphis said she works hard to support her children and put herself through school for over eight years to obtain her Master's degree and become a nurse practitioner.
Memphis was so proud of her life but wanted to share it with a man, and dating American men online apparently wasn't working out for her.
Memphis said Hamza gave her "butterflies" that she never felt before and she found him to be "very considerate," loving and caring.
The only problem was the couple's language barrier since Hamza only speaks a little English and she doesn't speak any Arabic. She joked about how the only words they both knew was "sexy time."
Memphis planned to fly to Tunisia and take "sexy time" to a whole new level. She said she was truly in love with Hamza and wanted to skip getting engaged and go straight to getting married.
Memphis intended to spend one week with Hamza in person, get married during Week 2, and then spend the third week honeymooning and enjoying being newlyweds.
While Memphis' friends were a little worried and skeptical about Memphis skipping the K-1 visa and going straight to a spousal visa, Memphis was convinced she had found her perfect match and the man of her dreams.
Memphis also claimed she had told Hamza he must get a job in the United States in heating and cooling, so she didn't plan on supporting him financially for very long.

Memphis then shared how she had been in 12 different foster homes until the age of 19. Memphis' mother struggled with a crack addiction when Memphis was nine years old and her biological father was in prison.
Memphis felt her childhood played a part in her desire to feel secure with a man. She thought being married would fill a hole she had in her heart, and Memphis looked forward to having a stable and complete family.
Memphis believed her choices would benefit her kids in the long run because they'd have a stable father figure and she'd be happy with a man whom she shared an "amazing connection" with.
But her foster sister Ingrid said in a confessional, "Memphis is a hothead and can be very intimidating, so I am very concerned that Hamza is not ready for Memphis."

Memphis craved emotional and physical intimacy, but Hamza still lived at home with his mother, his "everything." And his mother Hayet didn't approve of Hamza and Memphis having pre-marital sex.
Things were going well for the couple, however, until Memphis discovered Hamza had lied about his age and he's only 26 years old. He had told Memphis he was 28 at the time so she'd think he's more mature. Memphis lamented about feeling fooled and "betrayed."
The lie made Memphis question whether she even wanted to go through with marriage, and she wondered what else her fiance could be lying about.

Memphis didn't think Hamza was prepared for their meeting and she accused him of not "being a man," and Hamza complained, "Memphis nags me a lot. I do not like her attitude at all."
Hamza began having second thoughts about marriage, but Memphis gave him the ultimatum that they needed to wed or else she'd be done with him.
The couple then made love in a hotel room, and Memphis revealed "it was very fast and furious."
"But I really feel so much more relieved because he did perform for me last night. He definitely showed me that he can do what he needs to do to satisfy me, so I was very happy," she noted.
On the right track, Memphis then broached the topic of getting a prenuptial agreement so that if she and Hamza ever got a divorce, he wouldn't be able to take any of her money.
Memphis felt the need to protect herself going into this marriage, and she told Hamza, "If you do not sign the contract, I do not want to marry you."
Hamza said he's never heard of a prenup before and they don't exist in Tunisia. He apparently felt "insulted" since a marriage should be built on trust and respect.
"Your possessions do not mean anything to me," Hamza insisted.
"Good! But will you sign papers?" Memphis asked.
"Okay," Hamza replied, although he felt very uneasy and noticed new problems kept popping up for his relationship.
Once Memphis received the paperwork -- an affidavit of eligibility to marry -- Memphis told Hamza that she wanted their finances to be 50/50 in America and to work as a team.
But Hamza said he felt humiliated and Memphis was making him feel "weak."

Hamza's mother Hayet asked him while he was picking out his tuxedo for the wedding, "Are you sure about [the wedding]? Why are you in a hurry?"
Hamza seemed unsure, and Memphis still had yet to tell him about how she had slept at her ex-husband's house for four nights in the summer when she and Hamza first got involved.
Memphis claimed she and her ex hadn't engaged in any sexual relations since their divorce, but she feared Hamza would get very jealous over the situation.
When Hamza learned the truth, he admitted they may be rushing into marriage, which Memphis disagreed with. Memphis appeared furious, in fact.
Memphis complained, "Why would you ask me to get married to you and then have me do all this stuff and all of this preparing for nothing? That is ridiculous. Why would you ask me to come to Tunisia and marry you if you did not want to get married? I do not understand!"
Memphis accused Hamza of lying and called him "not nice," especially since she couldn't stay in Tunisia for much longer. She said she wanted to be with Hamza but if he didn't want to marry her, she would go home and end their relationship.
"I am afraid of you," Hamza admitted.
"What?! Why?" Memphis asked.
"Because of your ex before. One ex, two ex. Divorce," Hamza said.
Memphis said she only had one divorce, but then Hamza confessed that he was afraid he'd act like Memphis' ex and then she'd leave him. Memphis asked Hamza to not be afraid of the past and to trust her and look forward to the future.

Hamza's mother scolded Memphis for not being honest with her son sooner, but Memphis said she desperately needed some moral support at the time she had slept at her ex-husband's place.
Memphis further explained the situation off-camera to Hamza for 20 minutes, and she said she had been through a very dark time. At the time, she didn't pass her state boards for the first time and she was very depressed.
Hamza told Memphis that he understood her reasoning and still loved her and wanted to marry her, but he hoped she would rely on him for support going forward.
The couple later hashed out their issues and insecurities with the help of a human language translator, and then Hamza officially proposed marriage to Memphis in Zriba Olia, a historical place and beautiful city surrounded by mountains.

"Baby, you are my happiness. Do you want to marry me?" Hamza asked.
Memphis giggled and answered, "Do I?... Do you trust me? Do you trust me with everything?"
"Yes," Hamza replied. "Yes."
"Okay," Memphis said. "I will marry you."
Although the couple had gotten engaged online, he wanted to propose to her in person and show that he was serious about their relationship and his doubts had been resolved.
Hamza gushed about Memphis' "great soul" and "strong personality," and he added, "That's why I love her."

But Memphis' world came crashing down when she FaceTimed with a Michigan lawyer and learned how Memphis hadn't given herself enough time to secure a prenuptial agreement. The lawyer warned Memphis she couldn't protect herself so quickly before the wedding, especially because Hamza would also have to consult with an attorney.
Memphis was advised to push back the wedding in order to protect herself and her assets, but Memphis feared putting her relationship with Hamza in jeopardy.
"I feel so conflicted. I do want to marry Hamza and have a family with him, and I trust him, but my children come first. It is really important to me to give my children the life that I didn't have, so putting my savings at risk scares me," Memphis explained.
"And I hope that Hamza understands where I'm coming from."

Memphis went on to celebrate her bachelorette party with Hamza's family members, and she determined that while an iron-clad prenup wasn't a possibility, she'd just ask Hamza to sign a postnuptial agreement, which apparently came with a little bit more risk for Memphis.
"I despise the notion of divorce. I was a victim of my parents' divorce," Hamza said in a confessional. "I don't want to go through that awful experience."
Memphis insisted that she trusted Hamza but had to protect her kids, adding, "If he won't sign the paper, then I don't want to get married."
Hamza called the whole situation "bad," and Rawia told Hamza not to let her force any paperwork on him in order to marry.
Although Rawia felt Memphis loved a piece of paper more than her brother, Hamza reluctantly agreed to sign the paper and said he never wanted to hear about it again.
So are Memphis and Hamza still together now? Did they get married or has the 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days couple broken up?
Memphis and Hamza did appear to get married, In Touch Weekly reported.

In late February, Hamza posted a cute photo with Memphis and captioned it with five red heart emojis.
But Memphis recently hinted she and Hamza may have split. For example, the pair have unfollowed each other on Instagram.
On February 17, Memphis posted a slideshow of selfies on her Instagram account and captioned them, "Peace & Prosperity."
She added, "Thank you everyone for the kind words! Spreading Love and Kindness! You never know what people are going through behind closed doors! Kindness Rocks."
And a few days earlier, Memphis uploaded a cryptic quite about grieving.
"Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength," Memphis wrote. "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Memphis also advised her fans on February 1 to not let anyone "destroy and break [their] spirit."
Memphis previously shared in her Instagram Story about how she prays to God her son and daughter will learn from her mistakes, and she suggested karma will get back to a person who puts another through "sh-t."
In late January, Memphis said the "stress" in her life had her hair falling out.

In the comments of Hamza's selfie, Memphis' mother Deborah Smith Price wrote, "Hello handsome son in law," seemingly giving away that Memphis and Hamza had gotten married.
Hamza replied, "Thank mam," along with four red-heart emojis.

John went on to post screenshots of a man named Travis' alleged tweets from January 8 through January 9.
Travis claimed to be Memphis' ex-boyfriend, and he reportedly bashed Memphis by saying he'd never want to have kids with her and his reasoning for letting her go should be obvious based off the footage that has aired on 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days' fifth season.
While Travis appeared to note Memphis is "a good woman" who just picks "bad men" and makes bad decisions, he accused her of being wrapped up in her ex-husband.
"Her ex husband is the love of her life, not this new guy [Hamza]. She stayed overnight at her ex husband's when we lived together," Travis tweeted, according to John's screenshot.
He later wrote to a fan, "I was with Memphis for a year but thank God we don't have a child together... I wish her the best, but Hell No, I didn't want a baby with her."
Travis apparently went on to post a big "spoiler alert," writing about Memphis, "She is bipolar [and]] was pregnant with his baby. She had the baby a few months ago."
Travis was referring to Hamza and pointed out to Twitter users that 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days, although it's just airing now, filmed about a year ago.
Travis therefore suggested Memphis had plenty of time to get pregnant and deliver a child before the premiere of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days' fifth season.

In a post captioned, "Cause I just don't care anymore," John uploaded an alleged screenshot of his conversation with Memphis.
Memphis allegedly wrote to him, "I think it is sad that you post things from people who obviously are desperate and want some acknowledgement because their life sucks so bad!"
"At the end of the day, I do not have to go online and talk bad about people," she continued.
"Especially, with ill intention! Trav is very bitter and all my friends and family know it and thought it was quite funny that he is so desperate for 'clout' that he has to tell lies!"

Memphis sarcastically applauded him and said, "But I guess keep doing you and spreading the hate! Good job."
John apparently replied to Memphis, "I didn't say anything -- I used question marks cause I was just reporting on things that was said. Everyone else is saying you already had a kid and are married."
Memphis later seemed to confirm her relationship status by responding to John, "I don't care about the married and kid thing!"
She confirmed how she had an issue with John calling attention to Travis' tweets when Travis is allegedly "so desperate for attention."
"I really wish people would try to look beyond some of the things because at the end of the day, it is TV. Where is the disclaimer that states that the show is a certain percent true events? Just wondering!" Memphis complained.
"I'm not trying to be rude or anything. It is just saddening to me!"

John concluded -- referencing her alleged marriage and the baby again -- "All I did was repost [your] own mother calling Hamza her son in law... It's clear that [Travis is] legit as you just confirmed his existence, but at no point did I ever say you were married and had a baby."
"Everyone else has -- I haven't," he noted. "People are looking up your baby registries right now."
