Is Tim From '90 Day Fiancé' Transgender? New Details On The Reality Star's Big Secret
He has a big announcement to make.
TLC Over the last few years, we’ve seen an onslaught of transgender representation in the media. Transparent, Orange is the New Black, I Am Jazz, and The Danish Girl are television shows and movies that have focused on the issues transgender individuals face on a daily basis, and how society still has a long way to go in terms of acceptance.
But another show on TLC, in addition to I Am Jazz, is 90 Day Fiancé, which follows couples who have applied for visas, and only have 90 days to decide if they want to get married. One couple, in particular — Tim and Jeniffer — have garnered a lot of attention.
A few days ago, Tim made a post on Instagram, revealing he has a big secret.
He captioned it, “What is my big secret? The most creative answer in comments will get a personal video shoutout by me!” with hashtags like #lgbtq and #loveeveryone, leading people to believe that he identifies as queer. But is Tim from 90 Day Fiancé transgender? Is that the actual secret?
First, a little background. Tim and Jeniffer met on a dating site and immediately hit it off. Tim told the cameras, “Jeniffer is even prettier than I thought. So now I’m like ‘Wow, this girl really might be out of my league.’”
Tim and Jeniffer both have children from former relationships, with Jeniffer being the mom of 2-year-old Inti Violeta, and Tim co-parenting his daughter, Chloe, with his ex, Veronica. Chloe isn’t his biologically, but he raised her since she was a baby.
Jeniffer and Tim have gotten into fights about his relationship with Veronica. But the big bombshell might not have anything to do with his ex at all.
In a preview clip for season three of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, the couple are seen having a huge argument, with Jeniffer walking away and throwing her drink in Tim’s face. Fans are now speculating that the secret he’s keeping is that he was born biologically a woman.
Comments on Reddit include things like, “EXACTLY what I was thinking. I don't have a problem with that, but if he IS trans, I think it’s really s***ty of him to develop a relationship without telling Jennifer first,” and, “If that's the case, I really fricking hope she already knows because I would not find it entertaining having Tim dragged on TV for being trans.”
But Tim, who is a Trump supporter and gun owner, has said transphobic things in the past. One meme he posted to Instagram reads, “If you meet a girl that admits she’s wrong, apologizes and changes her ways, dump her because that might be a man. Women don’t do that.”
And while it’s merely speculation, there just doesn’t seem like there’s enough evidence to support the claim that Tim was born a woman. The folks on Twitter have something to say on the matter, though:
Oh boy. Guess we’ll just have to see what happens when the show airs on TLC, Sunday nights at 8 PM.
