90 Day Fiancé: Who was Shaeeda dating before Bilal?
Before Shaeeda moved to the United States on a K-1 90 Day Fiancé Visa, she had a different life back in her home country Trinidad and Tobago, that included friends, family, a thriving yoga business and a dating history that she did her best to hide and keep it private for personal and religious reasons. When she arrived in Kansas City to be with her Fiancé Bilal, everything has changed for her, and she had to restart and rebuild her whole life from scratch in a new country.
However, Bilal hasn’t mentioned on camera everything about his past relations, we only knew that Shahidah was his ex wife, without the specific detail that she was actually his second ex wife. Generally, divorce records are considered part of the public record, so with a little digging, some of the viewers were inspecting his past and found out that he was actually married to another woman named Ameerah prior to Shahidah. According to court records, Bilal and Ameerah were married in August of 2002. But what about Shaeeda’s past, why is she being so secretive about it? Is she worried that Bilal, his family and the viewers will look at her differently as a Muslim woman with a past?
In an interview with an American daily newspaper called “Newsday”, Shaeeda spoke about her past and said: “In March 2017, I was in a very dark place in my life. My boyfriend had broken up with me via a text message. Who does that? Imagine I was looking at him as my future husband. I was emotionally and mentally damaged”. The Trinidad native continued to bring back past memories and explained that she started Yoga to cope with the pain of the breakup.
It’s hard to think that at 37 years old, a Beautiful woman like Shaeeda never had a dating past and multiple fiancés, despite the fact that she’s a Muslim. In her religion, women don’t usually date and have sexual relations before marriage, because it’s considered as a sin or in Arabic “Haram”. It’s possible that she took her time to focus on herself and to find a high value man, since we know that she is the one who contacted Bilal first and “slid into his Instagram DMs”, because she saw his Instagram posts about his luxurious life and wanted that for herself.
