Former 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way cast members Nicole and Mahmoud Sherbiny are known as a mismatched couple who should never have gotten married. Fans were surprised to see the couple on the current season of Happily Ever After, at least in the first couple of episodes, as no one expected Mahmoud, a devout Muslim, to leave the city of Cairo to come and live in Los Angeles.
Nicole and Mahmoud's relationship has been marked by cultural clashes and personal disagreements, often leading to heated arguments on camera. Nicole, an American with an artistic free spirit, resists being controlled or told what to wear. On the other hand, Mahmoud, who grew up in a strict religious Muslim society, has specific expectations for how women should behave and dress. Despite their efforts, the couple has struggled to find common ground, resulting in a toxic dynamic that has been difficult to watch.
There have been rumors of off-camera incidents that may have influenced the decision to drop the couple from the show. Reports suggest that Mahmoud was involved in a domestic dispute, further complicating their show participation. Multiple credible news sources have confirmed these allegations, and Mahmoud's arrest details were also shared publicly by a couple of 90-Day Fiance bloggers. Some fans may jump to the conclusion and blame Mahmoud for physically abusing Nicole behind closed doors; however, the new season of "Happily Ever After" has shown us that Nicole is also capable of being physically aggressive with her husband since both have a slim build, and neither has a physical advantage over the other.
The couple disappeared from the show and social media for months until this week, when Nicole made a big announcement that captured the attention of her fans. After months of silence, she revealed she was launching her online clothing boutique, "MaudeAndAster." This new venture marks a fresh start for Nicole, who has always had a passion for fashion and design. In her announcement, Nicole expressed her excitement about the boutique and encouraged her fans to check it out. She is offering a 15% discount for the first two days to celebrate the grand opening.
Meanwhile, there were rumors that Mahmoud returned to Egypt after Nicole dropped the domestic violence case. Mahmoud feels happy in Egypt, surrounded by his family and people who share similar religious beliefs. Moving to Los Angeles, a liberal city, was an extreme cultural shock for someone like him who came from a very conservative country like Egypt.
