Debby is starstruck by her much younger Egyptian fiancé — but what he’s told her about his career definitely isn’t adding up.
On Sunday’s episode of “90 Day Fiancé,” viewers were introduced to 55-year-old Debby from New Orleans, who’s dating 41-year-old Mido. The unlikely couple met when he was her tour guide while she and her daughter, Devyn, visited Egypt six years ago.
Debby, who’s an insurance agent, is convinced that Mido is a movie star in Egypt — despite him not actually being able to show her any movies or television shows he’s been in.
Instead, Debby’s proof that Mido is “famous” is that he has hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram.
“He doesn’t show me his work,” she told cameras. “I don’t know why. I’ve asked him to send me like reels of stuff that he’s done, but he says I’m not going to understand what they’re saying.”
“So he keeps telling me, ‘I’ll show you when I arrive and I’ll explain to you what’s going on,’” she continued.
Mido’s intention is that when he comes to America, he wants to become a major actor. Debby worries that after he arrives to the US and doesn’t get the right opportunities, he won’t be happy.
Meanwhile, Devyn expressed her doubts about Mido and savagely made fun of his headshots, calling them “amateur.”
“To me, they don’t really scream professional actor headshots, they scream, like, Instagram model,” she cracked. “He just needs a reality check because I know that there has been a lot of weird sketchiness going on.”
Debby then explained that Mido never posts about her on his social media, but does post with other women, which hasn’t set well with her. They once broke up because he kept posting with an Egyptian actress, though he insisted that they were just friends and that it was for “work.”
Later in the episode, Debby got emotional over Mido ghosting her due to his father going through health issues. When he finally calls her back, he’s clearly agitated with her and wants to push back his flight to New Orleans that’s in less than 24 hours. Mido instead wants to stay in Egypt for two more weeks and gets upset with Debby when she tries to help him change his ticket.
Debby broke down in tears, worrying that Mido was getting cold feet about coming to America.
“At what point do you decide on a journey or on a decision? What’s a test of a commitment and what’s a sign of something that’s just not meant to be?” she asked, beginning to tear up.
“I’m not sure where to put that anymore. I’m really worried that Mido’s not going to get on that flight.”
“90 Day Fiancé” airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on TLC.
