90 Day Fiance star Nicole Nafziger has revealed she and Azan Tefou are still together but no longer have any immediate plans to marry.

One of Nicole's followers recently criticized her on social media for lying to her family and fans by saying a wedding with Azan will happen. The follower told Nicole to take her engagement ring off and move on -- because Azan allegedly already has.

The hurtful message prompted Nicole to post a rant in reply on Instagram last week.
"A few things. One, don't act like you know my life. You do not. No matter what you think, you don't know me. Family has always been everything to me. Two, my family knows everything. From the beginning and all through filming for a show, they know everything. Not everything is put out on the show because it doesn't need to be known publicly," Nicole responded.

"Three, if you want me to be honest then listen when I'm telling it and not when it's what y'all think is the truth. Azan and I are still together happily."
Nicole went on to say, "We don't have plans to get married officially at this moment because I'm doing my life here with May right now and he's working doing his life there right now. That doesn't mean we won't, it means we'll do it when the time is right for us."
In August, a source told In Touch Weekly that Nicole was getting her life "back on track" with a new job as a barista at Starbucks and an apartment of her own.
Nicole had also enrolled her five-year-old daughter May in kindergarten.
"She's starting this new phase of living on her own, working, and putting May into school... She's focusing on those aspects of her life right now before she can consider going to Morocco or starting a future with Azan," the source said at the time.

Nicole concluded in her Instagram comment, "Four, don't believe rumors. Because 90% of what y'all read on the internet about him and us is false. Trust me or not, that's not my business. I don't put all of our life out there. That's not called lying, it's called privacy. Good day."

Nicole planned to marry Azan when she quit her job and traveled to Morocco in 2018, but wedding plans got canceled due to alleged time and financial constraints.
At the time, Azan seemed to convince Nicole to invest $6,000 of her wedding money into opening a beauty store instead, while he planned to contribute $500 to the overall cost.
It's unclear whether that store was a real possibility or will ever actually open considering both Nicole and Azan have made different claims in recent months.

Fans were skeptical of the wedding cancellation last year, 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 either of them look bad.
Nicole subsequently purchased a ticket to return to Morocco earlier this year, but the trip was called off two weeks later, and Nicole never explained why other than saying things are just personal sometimes.
(Prior to Nicole's Morocco plans falling through, Azan had also canceled the pair's vacation to Grenada due to an alleged "family emergency.")
In June, Nicole said it was "highly likely" her wedding would still take place by the end of 2019, but that's apparently not happening anymore.

Nicole and Azan met on a mobile dating app years ago when she was 21 years old and living in Bradenton, FL. Azan was 23 years old and from Agadir, Morocco, at the time.
Nicole and Azan got their start on reality TV by starring on Season 4 of the original 90 Day Fiance series, followed by Season 5 of the series.
That later led into an appearance on Season 3 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? and then Season 4, which recently wrapped on TLC.
Despite concern from family, friends and even 90 Day Fiance fans, Nicole apparently continues to believe Azan loves her and his intentions are pure.
Nicole is crazy about Azan and looks forward to hopefully becoming his wife and welcoming him into the United States one day.
However, when their wedding will take place, however, is now clearly up in the air again.
