Some viewers have joked Nicole and Azan's romance should unfold on a show called "90 Year Fiance" instead of "90 Day Fiance" because it has taken the couple so long to settle down and tie the knot.

Nicole has stood by her man despite cheating accusations, long-distance and multiple called-off weddings.

Fans have followed this couple's saga since Season 4 of the original 90 Day Fiance series. They later starred on Season 5 of 90 Day Fiance, followed by Season 3 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?.

Now, they star on Season 4 of the Happily Ever After? spinoff, which is currently airing on TLC.

Nicole and Azan first met on a mobile dating app. Nicole was 21 years old and living in Bradenton, FL, at the time, while Azan was 23 years old and from Agadir, Morocco.

After briefly getting to know each other over the phone, Nicole decided to take a risk for love and fly to Morocco to meet Azan in person. She left her toddler daughter, May, at home with her family.

It didn't take long for Nicole to become smitten with Azan, and he claimed to be crazy about her too. But it took awhile for Nicole to be convinced Azan had strong feelings for her given he showed no public displays of affection.

Not only did Azan refuse to kiss Nicole in front of other people, but he wouldn't even stay in the same hotel room with her in Morocco.

Azan claimed he was standoffish out of respect for his culture and strict religion, but Nicole wasn't so sure. After all, Azan even said during an interview Nicole was "a little big" compared to what he had expected her to look like.

But Nicole and Azan continued to date and communicate well, and they even worked through Nicole's confession that he had once cheated on Azan.

They also stayed together despite the fact neither person was willing to convert to Azan's Islam or Nicole's Christian beliefs.

Azan eventually decided to propose marriage to Nicole, and she accepted and looked forward to Azan becoming her husband and a father to her sweet daughter.

Nicole anticipated Azan would move to the United States and be with her forever, but his K-1 visa was denied, leaving Nicole brokenhearted and confused about their future.

As fans may recall on the third season of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, Nicole therefore traveled to Morocco again under the impression they would get married and obtain a spousal visa for Azan so he could subsequently move to America.

Recordings of what seemed to be Azan on the phone with another woman talking about kissing her leaked, but Nicole opted to trust Azan and leave the incident in the past.

However, the pair still didn't get married.

Nicole and Azan decided to postpone their wedding due to alleged financial burdens given Azan wasn't able to hold down a steady job and Nicole didn't have much of an income at the time.

Instead, Nicole claimed she and Azan had come up with the idea to invest all of their money for the wedding into a beauty store.

Azan seemed to convince Nicole to invest $6,000 into opening a beauty store, while he planned to contribute $500 to the overall cost.

Fans were skeptical of the wedding cancellation, thinking it was all Azan's doing and Nicole was just pretending she was onboard with it all because she didn't want to throw Azan under the bus or make him look bad.


Nicole was definitely ready to become a wife, and Azan appeared to be the one who was hesitant.

Nicole therefore left Morocco a single woman and returned to Florida alone.

Nicole recognized her love story was becoming quite the saga.

On the Season 4 premiere of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, cameras caught up with Nicole seven months after she had returned to Florida and was living with her sister and brother. (Nicole had given up her own apartment).

Nicole was shown discussing how she planned to travel back to Morocco to get married to Azan once and for all, and she insisted she was going to spend the rest of her life with Azan.

But Nicole spilled the beans about what happened with the alleged beauty store, and the news probably shocked fans everywhere.

"There is no store," Nicole admitted to a producer. "But I haven't told my family because my family does nothing but grill me."

In a more recent episode, Nicole suggested to Azan they both travel to a vacation spot where Azan wouldn't need a tourist visa and they could be affectionate with each other in public.

Nicole was desperate to see Azan and figured Grenada would be a fun and relaxing place for them to spend some time together.

Nicole, however, was hurting for cash and would need to come up with the money in order to make the trip since Azan wasn't really working.

Meanwhile, Nicole's family continued to express disapproval over her relationship with Azan, especially her mother and father, who remained skeptical of Azan's intentions.


Nicole was apparently sending Azan money all the time because he still wasn't working, and Nicole's mother was concerned because May needed to enroll in Kindergarten within a few months.

Nicole needed a financial plan, and she wasn't sure what to do.

Nicole, however, stood by her man and asked her family not to worry or judge. She even began dieting so she'd look great when Azan saw her next.

"We have a lot of plans for ourselves and our future that are still going along. It's a little slow, but we will eventual figure things out," Nicole said during a broadcast.

"But right now, I don't want to put pressure on Azan. I am not going to be worrying about anything on my vacation to Grenada."

However, when Nicole was packing up her belongings for the trip, she suddenly got a call from Azan, informing her that he couldn't go due to an undisclosed "family emergency."

Nicole stormed out of the room because she was upset her trip was going to be a wash. Her father was even supposed to tag along and meet Azan for the first time.

Nicole's loved ones weren't happy with Azan, especially her mother Robbalee, who called Azan "a scammer" to her daughter's face.

Nicole, however, insisted it had nothing to do with her and it wasn't intentional on Azan's part. Azan refused to explain on camera why he couldn't go because he thought it would make him look bad.

Given the trip was supposed to last three weeks, it must have been some emergency!

Nicole was clearly disappointed but put on a brave face, and Robbalee noted her daughter was "so enamored" with Azan that she wasn't seeing the truth.

In the latest episode, Nicole was trying to work and save up money so she could visit Azan in Morocco again. She was "so disappointed" her trip to Grenada was canceled, but she said she didn't blame Azan for it at all.

"I was really excited for [the trip], but I don't doubt Azan at all about what's going on with the trip getting canceled and his family emergency," Nicole told the cameras.

Nicole was just trying to focus on herself via diet and exercise. She also dyed her hair purple and was proud of her new look.

Nicole acknowledged her life was "complicated," and she just didn't want to be a burden to her loved ones, especially her mother Robbalee.

But Nicole decided to stay with her mother for a few weeks until she could return to Morocco. Robbalee said every single time Nicole made plans to marry or see Azan, something would happen last minute and everything would just "blow up."

Nicole insisted she knew what Azan's "family emergency" was, but she refused to share the details with her mother. Nicole said Azan wasn't just ditching her.

Robbalee predicted Nicole returning to Morocco again was going to be "a huge waste of money."

Nicole's stepfather, Joe, presumed Nicole would return from her trip to Morocco in six weeks unmarried and alone. Joe told Nicole that Azan had no intention of marrying her and he'd continue to come up with excuses and back out of wedding plans each and every time.

Joe then revealed he had received an email from someone claiming Azan was just stringing Nicole along. The person claimed Azan laughed about Nicole and his family members do not approve of her.

Nicole refused to "talk about something stupid," meaning people writing things online who allegedly didn't even know Azan well. Nicole didn't care or want to hear what strangers had to say about her relationship.

Nicole wished her family would just support her and not believe "some guy online." She appreciated the worry but asked her loved ones to trust her.

"I'm in love with my fiance who I plan to marry this time," Nicole told her family. "Things are fine."

But are things really "fine?" What has happened between Azan and Nicole since filming ended? Are they still together? Have they married?

Nicole and Azan are still together, and they keep their romance alive by using Skype, flirting via text and video chatting.

However, the pair are still engaged, as they have yet to get married.

Despite having hard days, Nicole still dreams of having Azan join her in America.

"We [text] every day. Call at least once a day. Try to video chat a couple times a week," Nicole revealed in an Instagram Story in April, adding that she and Azan "have been intimate."

"Trust me, he knows how lucky he is with me. I love him with all my heart forever."

As for what's next, a source close to Nicole told RadarOnline in early April, "She's sticking around for her sister's wedding in June then going back to Morocco."

"Her intentions are to get married while she's over there," the source added.

But Nicole confirmed in June that she and Azan probably won't be getting married this summer as fans had been anticipating.

Nicole recently took to her Instagram Stories to have a Q&A session with fans and revealed a Summer 2019 wedding is not in the works.

"Is it true about the wedding this summer?" the fan asked Nicole, according to In Touch Weekly.

"Probably not this 'summer,' but this year is highly likely," Nicole reportedly replied.

Nicole and Azan are apparently therefore looking to wed by the end of this year, or at least Nicole is!

Nicole, however, probably won't get married in front of her parents and siblings because they had already lost a lot of money on plane tickets for previous weddings that had been called off.

Nicole recently said that after she ties the knot in Morocco, she and May -- who calls Azan "Daddy" -- will stay there for a little while before attempting a return to America.

The next time Nicole sees Azan will be the first time since her 2018 trip to Morocco.

Nicole recently assured her fans on Instagram, "We love each other and have worked through our mistakes... [I trust] him 100 percent," likely referring to prior cheating accusations.

Nicole also added her daughter "loves Azan very much and misses him a lot as well."

As for speculation Azan is using Nicole for a Green Card or to be a reality TV star, she insisted on Instagram, "We want forever with each other," and she was actually the one who had convinced Azan to do another season of the 90 Day Fiance spinoff.

Nicole also claimed she and her fiance have talked about welcoming more children together in the future as well as potential baby names.

"He wants children and a life with me... Azan is a loving and caring man. He's a kind-hearted person who is very family-oriented. I love everything about him," she said.

The couple would apparently like to name their children a mix of American and Moroccan names, but Nicole acknowledged there is "still some time" before they make those decisions.

Nicole also disclosed her backup plan if Azan's visa to enter the United States gets denied again down the road.

"We'll figure it out when we get there. We'll be married if that moment comes so it's not like I'll just leave him. I still want to live my life with him," Nicole explained on Instagram.

"I think we would find somewhere to build a life together even if it's not Morocco... I would live in Morocco with him for a short time (a couple years) but long term we want to live in America together."

As for the real reason why Nicole and Azan canceled their 2018 wedding in Morocco, Nicole took to Instagram in late April to explain the situation to fans during a Q&A session.

Money apparently played a big role in the decision, but that wasn't all of it.

Nicole claimed 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s filming schedule had resulted in them attempting to "rush" the process and the couple felt "too much pressure."

She also said they didn't have "enough funds" to pay for the wedding at the time, which had been shown on the TLC reality series.

"It was too fast! I don't want to feel pressure to marry my best friend. I want to enjoy the process of marrying him," Nicole explained.

Nicole also confessed she and Azan had made everything up about their alleged plan to open a beauty store together in Morocco, as well as the $6,000 Nicole supposedly contributed to the project.

"Plot twist. No store = There was no 6k," Nicole wrote during the Q&A session, later reiterating how "there was no money" at all to begin with.

"Why did we lie? Because we suck at reality tv. Idk. I'm so tired of this show... But [TLC] didn't tell us to say it."

In addition, Nicole insisted in a Q&A session in April that Azan is completely into her despite what critics may think.

Although Azan mentioned in a previous episode of 90 Day Fiance when the pair was hitting the gym together that he was "55 percent" attracted to her, Nicole said he is definitely "fully attracted" to her physical appearance.

"Sometimes you just need to add drama in places there isn't," Nicole said of the show. "He knew what I looked like 100 percent before I went over [to Morocco]."

"He wouldn't ask me to change anything if I was healthy at this weight. He loves me and my body the way I am 100 percent, not 55... He always reassured me that he loved my body no matter what," she added.

Nicole recently shared that her relationship with Azan is "stronger now" because of everything they've been through as a couple on and off television.

As recently as May 16, Nicole posted a photo of Azan and captioned it, "My man crush everyday."

Nicole also took to her Instagram Stories around the same time to put some rumors to rest and reveal the couple will be launching their own YouTube channel.

"I DO NOT send Azan money regularly. May is well take care of and very happy. Yes, crazy as it seems, Azan loves me just as much as I love him. Yes I know I am worthy to be loved by someone who treats me well and Azan is that man," Nicole wrote, according to The Hollywood Gossip.

"Y'all DO NOT know Azan at all like I or his family do... The only people who will 'finally open their eyes' is y'all once y'all see our journey continued on YouTube... I [have known] Azan for THREE AND A HALF YEARS. Azan is not a 'stranger.'"

Nicole continued, "I have probably seen Azan in person before getting married [than] most of the cast members from 90 Day Fiance... Plus [Azan] doesn't have to post on IG for ME to see he loves me."

Nicole added last month she will marry Azan when "they are ready" and "the right moment" comes -- and it won't be for TV.
