A source close to Dean told the magazine, "Fans of 90 Day Fiance likely remember Dean Hashim for his brother, Tarik... Dean made many appearances on the show and also appeared with Tarik on Pillow Talk."
"Fans were highly disappointed when they left the show, as they were one of the fans' favorites to tune in for. While they haven't been seen on TV in a bit, there is some exciting news for Dean. Specifically, Dean and his girlfriend Rigin have a baby on the way!"

The source added Dean's alleged baby on the way is exclusive news and has not been made public yet.
"No one knows this information yet, as the couple has been keeping their lips sealed, aside from close friends and confidants," the source explained.
"They haven't revealed their gender yet -- or even confirmed this news publicly -- but we are 100 percent certain she is pregnant and that the couple have a baby on the way. This is definitely an exciting time for Dean and Rigin."
Dean allegedly refused to comment when contacted on the pregnancy report rather than issue a denial, which adds to the likelihood the source has spilled accurate information.
Dean memorably expressed skepticism over the intentions of Tarik's Filipina fiancee Hazel Cagalitan and whether they'd have a successful relationship and future together on 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days' second season.

Presumably due to his outspoken and charismatic personality, Dean appeared on 90 Day Fiance: Pillow Talk with Tarik and also gave fans an update on his love life during an episode of 90 Day Fiance: Self-Quarantined earlier this year.
On the Self-Quarantined special that aired back in May, Dean explained that he became familiar with the Philippines through Tarik's relationship with Hazel and so he signed up for an international dating app on the lookout for an international romance of his own.
Rigin said she had been talking to several American men on the dating website but Dean ended up stealing her heart due to his sense of humor. She called him "a good partner."
"After five months of talking, I flew to the Philippines to meet Rigin about a year ago. The plan was to stay down here for 10 days, but I ended up staying here for good," Dean revealed.

SoapDirt reported in April 2019 that Dean had bought a condo in Cebu City, but he and Rigin reportedly upgraded recently in order to have more room for their growing family.
The Celeb Magazine source revealed, "Dean recently moved into a six-bedroom home in the Philippines. Obviously, with all this room, him and Rigin will have lots of room for their new baby to run around and enjoy."
Dean may have found a job in the Philippines because on 90 Day Fiance: Self-Quarantined, Dean explained he and Rigin were living off his disabled veterans' pension, which wasn't a lot.
But Dean noted the U.S. dollar is "very strong" in the Philippines.

Dean claimed Rigin didn't ask him for money when they first met but that changed as they got more serious.
Dean said he wasn't going to let Rigin take advantage of him, but she insisted to cameras she just wanted to help her family.
Finances and communication were points of contention between the couple on the special, and Rigin also apparently got in the way of Dean's relationship with Tarik.
"To keep it 100 with you, he really doesn't support my life, man, out here. He had a really big problem with me coming out here," Dean said on the show.
"I think Tarik approves of my relationship with Rigin but doesn't approve of the way I went about my relationship... He didn't like [me moving to the Philippines.]"
However, Rigin gushed about how she and her boyfriend were growing closer as they quarantined together and learning new things about each other every day.
