Laura was a 51-year-old retired mom from Toronto, ON who resided in Eustis, FL, and Aladin was a 29-year-old personal trainer from Doha, Qatar, when the pair began starring on 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way.
When viewers were introduced to Laura and Aladin in the second episode of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way, Laura revealed she was leaving Florida in 10 days to move to Qatar to be with her fiance for good.

Laura claimed they had developed a really strong bond online, and after a year of talking, she flew to Qatar for the first time and met him in person.
After just three short days of spending time together, Aladin proposed marriage, and Laura said yes.
But Laura still had some insecurities because of their huge age difference. She also has trouble trusting men considering her husband of eight years was unfaithful to her.
When she was still married, Laura apparently catfished her own husband by posting a fake picture of a young, beautiful woman on the dating websites he was using and pretending to be her.
Laura communicated with her then-husband through this fake account and made him believe he was talking to the young girl. She clearly proved she's not going to put up with B-S.

Although Laura wasn't 100 percent sure she was making the right choice by moving to Qatar and trusting Aladin, she insisted there are no guarantees when it comes to love.
But Laura's teenage son, Liam, was skeptical of Aladin and vowed to the cameras he'd never allow Aladin to fill the role of stepfather.

Liam was even convinced Aladin was 45 years old, but he still viewed Aladin as a stranger and wasn't going to accept his mother's relationship. (Liam also claimed during a previous episode Laura was on the verge of turning 75 years old).
Laura's loved ones predicted she'd feel like a fish out of water given she'd be heading to a country where women are treated differently from men.

Laura's heart was torn in half between Aladin and her son, and she just wished they could all be together. Laura knew she was making an extremely risky decision to move to an Arab country permanently.
Laura was then shown dropping a bomb on her friend Ludwing before leaving America for her trip.
"We've been talking for over a year and I actually kind of married him," Laura revealed. "Nine days after I met him."
Ludwing was shocked, and then Laura disclosed how she'd be moving to Qatar to be with him. Ludwing couldn't believe Laura was going to leave the comforts of America, and he predicted she would "suffer a little bit" in Qatar.
Laura explained she and Aladin obtained a marriage license so they could live together in Qatar. Otherwise, staying in the same hotel room or house would be forbidden for the couple.

Although Laura and Aladin were technically married, she said they had yet to exchange vows in a traditional three-day wedding in Aladin's hometown of Tunisia.
Ludwing worried Aladin would want children and Laura wouldn't be able to give him a baby due to their age difference. That was also apparently a fear in the back of Laura's mind.
Laura wasn't even sure Aladin would remain faithful to her over the next 10 years or so as she ages, but she was ready to take that chance.

Aladin admitted he's had a lot of girlfriends in the past but then he met Laura on social media and she made him happy -- but also a tad crazy at times. Regardless of Laura's age, he insisted he was attracted to her and liked her.
Aladin said couples are not allowed to sleep together before marriage in his culture but he looked forward to getting "jiggy jiggy" with Laura after their wedding.
Aladin missed Laura terribly and couldn't wait for her to join his life, but he told the cameras she had trust issues from her previous marriage.
Aladin revealed he and Laura argued about social media constantly, as she questioned every single new follower he had, so he would sometimes block her for a day or two until she calmed down.
Aladin didn't think their problems were going to disappear in Qatar, but he said Laura needed to "answer to" him since he was the man in their relationship.
Before Laura left, her son Liam insisted it was going to be a tough transition.
"You have a short temper and you're stubborn," Liam told his mom. "The problem is you are the problem most of the time. You are brash, you're going to get yourself in trouble, and no one is going to be there to bail you out."

After two days of travel, Laura arrived in Qatar, and Aladin had a bouquet of roses waiting for his love.
Aladin hugged Laura and gave her a little kiss although it was against the law in Qatar. He gushed about how he just couldn't help himself.
Aladin hadn't seen Laura in six months. He said she looked "a little bit different" and had "gained some weight," but he told the cameras that was okay.

Laura then moved into Aladin's place, and she clearly wasn't impressed. The kitchen didn't have a stove, and she said the bathroom had an odor of mothballs.
Aladin said Laura was going to live differently in Qatar than what she was used to in the United States.
That night, Laura hoped to take Aladin into "unknown territories" and teach him a few tricks she had up her sleeve in the bedroom.
Laura was excited to make love to Aladin, but she admitted he hadn't been successful in the past with pleasing and satisfying her. Laura needed her husband to meet all of her needs, but she was prepared to work on that.
Aladin said his first night with his wife after six months apart was "very nice," but Laura admitted to cameras "it was done in two minutes" and he wasn't "rocking [her] world" in the bedroom.
Laura therefore introduced a sex toy to Aladin in order to spice things up and make things interesting, but Aladin was not happy. In fact, he was totally offended, thinking he should be enough for Laura.
"What the f-ck?! F-ck you," Aladin said. "Are you for real? You know I will throw this one [away]. Why do you need this?"
He vented in a confessional, "I'm Tunisian. I am man. I can be enough for her."

Laura said Aladin's young age showed in their communication. When they attempted to talk about their sex life, Laura said her husband acted childish. She didn't appreciate how upset Aladin got at her at times.
The couple also fought about social media, resulting in two fights in 24 hours.
Laura also struggled with homesickness and pushed back on embracing the local culture, especially in terms of how women were forced to dress and be submissive to their husbands.

Aladin's boss even revealed to Laura that a man could marry up to four ladies legally in Qatar.
The men apparently don't even have to tell their wives if they have other wives.

"Maybe it's totally justifiable in Aladin's head that he can do this [and have multiple wives]. I want to really make sure he's the man that I thought he was," Laura said in a confessional, totally shocked.
Despite the obstacles, 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way has shown Laura and Aladin going through with the first two days of their traditional three-day wedding in Tunisia.
Liam traveled all the way to Tunisia in order to support his mother, but he was still angry and hesitant about the whole ordeal, putting a big damper on Laura's excitement.
"At this point, I'm thinking she's out of her mind. I don't know how she expected this to go. Obviously I do have a lot of mixed emotions towards him, but it's very important for me to know what my mother is getting into," Liam told the cameras.
When Liam and Aladin attempted to bond, things didn't exactly go as planned.
Liam said he didn't want Aladin to try to be his stepfather, but Aladin said he'd never be his father given they're only eight years apart in age.

Aladin let Liam know, however, he wanted to have children with Laura, but Laura had apparently informed Liam that she didn't want to have another child. Liam said it would be too dangerous for Laura to get pregnant again.
Liam argued, "Once she has another child, she will stop paying attention to me... I can't trust you... She can't be having children. It's a bad idea. It's your responsibility to make sure she doesn't do it."
Liam said if the couple decided to have a child, he'd be done with the both of them.
Aladin cared about Liam because he's Laura's son, but he told the cameras that if Liam wanted to be cut throat with him, he wouldn't care about him. Aladin said he couldn't force Liam to attend his wedding, and if Liam didn't show up, the wedding wouldn't stop.
So are Laura and Aladin still together or did they break up after their wedding? It's complicated!
In April 2018, Aladin changed his relationship status on Facebook to married, Starcasm reported, which was about a month before TLC announced it had ordered 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way.Laura also took Aladin's last name on her own social media accounts and revealed on July 9 the couple was celebrating their "one year anniversary of marriage by paper." She added, "Love you honey bunny" to her post.

The pair seemed happy living in Qatar together, but rumors began swirling in August 2019 that Laura and Aladin had split.
First Laura accused Aladin of cheating and said he was "disgusting"
After 90 Day Fiance: the Other Way's July 29 episode aired on TLC in which Laura was shown venting about how Aladin failed to please her in the bedroom and Aladin freaked out over the vibrator, Aladin deleted all photos of Laura from his Instagram account, according to The Hollywood Gossip.Speculation then occurred that Aladin may have dumped Laura because he was humiliated on television.
But according to screenshots circulating online of Instagram comments Laura made, Laura was making social-media postings claiming Aladin was allegedly cheating on her.

A follower asked Laura on Instagram in August, "Why did Aladin delete the pictures of you on his Insta?"

Laura apparently replied, "Watch the show and you will see... You don't know we are not together."
Laura also told another follower, "When he stop respecting me by cheating with other woman, that's how."
And when Aladin's brother Mohamed conducted an Instagram Live session, Laura commented multiple times to publicly bad-mouth Aladin.
"These women need to stop being so thirsty over 2 married men," Laura wrote. "Mouhammed is married. And so is Aladin."
Laura, who was clearly referring to her own marriage, then wrote, "Aladin you are as thirsty as your women! [You're] disgusting."
However, polygamy is legal in Qatar and men are apparently able to have up to four wives legally.

But then by August 19, Laura seemed to suggest all was well between Aladin and herself again.

"How cute were we the day we got married with our matching outfits! See what happens tonight! Are we still together? #90dayfiancetheotherway #90dayfiance. #matchingoutfits #lovemyhoneybunny," she wrote alongside a photo from her wedding day.
And a couple of days earlier, Laura shared a slideshow of selfies the couple had taken together.
"Weekend fun! #90dayfiancetheotherway #90dayfiance #tlc #imhungry," she captioned the images.
Then Laura claimed she and Aladin were having a baby
On September 15, Laura suddenly took to Instagram to share some big news. (She calls him Aladdin although 90 Day Fiance identifies him as Aladin).ADVERTISEMENT
"Ok thirsty women and you all say we are divorced ! We are not divorced we are together and love each other very very much !" Laura captioned a selfie of the pair at the beach in which they were both smiling big.
"Aladdin removed my pics because he got sick and tired of you all putting me down . I'm so sorry thirsty women but aladdin is my husband ... I love him he loves me so get over it already let us enjoy our life."
Laura also added at the end of her post, "Btw we have a muffin in the oven !"
Based on her posting, however, it was not immediately clear at the time if Laura was saying she was carrying the child herself or a surrogate was involved.

90 Day Fiance fans -- as well as Laura's 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way co-star Deavan Clegg and 90 Day Fiance alum Leida Margaretha -- therefore remained skeptical of the alleged pregnancy given Laura's prior televised admission that it would very difficult for her to have another child at her age.

That criticism continued when Laura conducted an Instagram Live session in late September in which some of Laura's followers directly accused her of lying about being pregnant.
One person said something along the lines of, "What person would lie about being pregnant?!"
Then Laura said she wasn't pregnant anymore -- but said she hadn't lied about it
In response, Laura told her Instagram Live audience that she was no longer pregnant, but she insisted she had never lied about being pregnant in the first place.According to the 51-year-old retiree, she had an ectopic pregnancy, which is a situation in which the fetus develops outside the uterus, typically in a fallopian tube.
"Well, let me tell you something, sweetheart, I didn't lie. I had a tubal pregnancy, okay? And guess what? I am not in menopause. I am not even approaching menopause. My functions are very much working downstairs, okay?" Laura told her fans in the video.
"For those people who suddenly live in my vag-y-gy, that they can give such bold statements blows my mind! Because I know exactly what happened to me, and I had my cousin also with me up in Canada when all this was going down."

Laura continued, "So, people who are such know-it-alls about even my menopause cycle and so forth, it's just insane! Folks, unless you are my doctor, I am pretty sure you don't know what's happening."
Laura added that she appreciates the people who have supported her and are advising her to just ignore trolls and skeptics.
In addition to the Instagram Live video, Laura also apparently explained she had an ectopic pregnancy during a lengthy direct-message exchange with one of her Instagram followers, who in turn shared screenshots of the exchange online publicly.

After the follower asked Laura to come clean about her alleged pregnancy lie, saying it's easier to admit her alleged pregnancy was a hoax rather than perpetuate it, Laura fired back.
"Believe me its no lie i swear on my sons life! I very much had an ectopic pregnancy... I was so sick and my dr when i was in canada last month told me the blood work came back and i was pregnant," Laura said, referencing her beloved adult son, Liam.

"It is 100 percent truth. I am no where near menopause yet. And it really upset me to read this. I am no longer with a baby and it crushed my world. Because i lost everything in life all at once it seemed."
And then Laura revealed she and Aladin have split!
During the direct-message exchange, Laura -- who has been visiting 90 Day Fiance co-star Evelin Villegas in Ecuador the last couple of weeks, according to their social-media postings -- also confirmed rumors that she and Aladin have broken up recently.Laura went on to say, "And i [couldn't] even tell aladdin about the baby because he has me blocked. I wanted aladdin to see the post. I [wanted] him to know we almost made a baby... so close! I wanted him to reach out to me."
"Nobody knows how horrible Aladdin has been to me... you know everything I own that had meaning and value is in Qatar and he will not even allow me to get all my [valuables] from our apartment."
"Police will not even assist me unless I have receipts. I asked [90 Day Fiance's production company] to help me also but they said no."
According to unconfirmed online rumors, Laura has allegedly been staying in Canada and Ecuador since she left Qatar because the Canadian citizen is not currently able to re-enter the United States.

(If true, it remains unclear how Laura would have then been able to attend the season's Tell-All reunion when it was filmed in New York late this summer).
"She worked illegally in Florida and got preggo 22 years ago with Liam, that's how Liam is in Florida cause he was born there," Laura's ex-husband allegedly wrote in a Facebook posting in July, according to screenshots circulating online.
"She is Canadian she just got deported from the states when she just left to be with this guy."
In his alleged postings, Laura's ex-husband also admitted cheating on her but denied Laura's story that she catfished him and claimed she also has another child in Canada.
"I'm actually the ex husband and Liam is my son," he wrote. "She also has another son in Canada that she owes child support for and refuses to pay."
"He story of her cat fishing me is a lie and let me tell you she is a dead f-ck I cannot even believe she would bring up having sex with someone when she doesn't have a clue."

"I did cheat on her cause she is a mess in bed but she never found me on a website and trick me into cutting my hair... I don't even know where that story came from!!!"
