Ashley and Manuel got married in 90 Day Fiance season 10. Now, they are back as a married couple in Happily Ever After. Like the other pairs, these two are also enjoying married life and further exploring their relationship.
However, there are a few things that Ashley and Manuel still haven’t sorted between them. These include the issue of Manuel’s family. He didn’t allow Ashley to talk to his family and his kids from a previous relationship. Fans think this might be because he is still in contact with his baby mama. In fact, they also believe he hasn’t broken up with her at all!
90 Day Fiance: Is Manuel Still With His Baby Mama?
Ashley and Manuel met a decade ago in Ecuador. They fell in love and even got engaged. But then, the relationship ended due to issues of long distance. Manuel and Ashley rekindled their relationship in 90 Day Fiance. There were still many problems, like Manuel’s dislike of Ashley’s profession. He also didn’t tell his family about shifting to the US and was always “guarded” about him.
Manuel had two sons from his previous relationship. He had left them in Ecuador when he moved to the US. When Ashley wanted to talk to his boys, he told his partner not to. Manuel feared Ashley might lose her patience “because of how the kids talk.” But Ashley was suspicious. She also feared that her husband was still in contact with his baby mama.
One of Manuel’s friends revealed in a confessional that the baby-mama had tried contacting him after Ashley and “Manuel’s wedding.” But he didn’t tell Ashley as he didn’t want to get Manuel in trouble. Talking about Manuel, he didn’t like that Ashley went through his phone. He was also weirdly secretive about it, wanting his ‘privacy.’
But fans think there is more to it. MonstersandCritics discovered one OF Manuel’s posts from 2016. He posted a shirtless selfie with a mystery woman beside him. The photo comments suggested he might have had a relationship with that woman. But the TLC hasn’t been forthcoming about his dating history before Ashley.
However, fans feel he is secretive about his dating history and family because he keeps a big secret. They believe the 90 Day Fiance star is still in a relationship with his baby mama. A Redditor, Ali_Cat222, thinks Manuel is “here” only for a “green card.” They also wrote that once the card “comes through,” he will leave Ashley immediately. Many fans also point out that he will return to his baby mama. They think he is already “sending” her “money” from Ashley.
90 Day Fiance: Fans Furious As Ashley Doesn’t See The Red Flags
Manuel hadn’t told Ashley much about his past, and he hadn’t told his family he would be moving to the US. So all this seemed like a big red flag. But she didn’t worry much about it. On the contrary, she even married Manuel.
The fans are upset that Ashley is letting such big matters go. Many have also pointed out that such secrecy is a huge red flag. 90 Day Fiance viewers feel Manuel will leave Ashley “as soon as that temp/permanent green card comes through.”
Fans want to know why Ashley isn’t probing more about Manuel’s family. They also worry about Maneul’s fidelity, claiming he is still in a relationship with his baby mama.
