Shawn Finch and Alliya de Batista were from90 Day Fiancéhave a complicated relationship that I believeshould have ended in90 Day Fiancé: Love In Paradiseitself.In90 Day Fiancéseason 11,trans woman Alliya is movingto the U.S. on a K-1 visa to marry Shawn from Los Angeles. Shawn is a successful Hollywood hairstylist while Alliya is an upcoming model.The way Shawn and Alliya metis complicated since Alliya had not transitioned yet at the time.

Three years into their relationship, Shawn proposed to Alliya when there were obvious red flags that he was aware of. Shawn and Alliya seemed to have nothing in common andtheir 36-year age differenceis one of thebiggest age gaps in90 Day Fiancéhistory. The previews for Shawn and Alliya’s90 Day Fiancéseason 11 journey have already confirmed that Alliya will be backing out of the marriage at the last minute. I unfortunately feel that Shawn and Alliya are the most incompatible couple in this season and won’t last long even if they got married later.

Shawn Is Still In Love With “Douglas”

Shawn Cheated On Alliya

When Shawn first met Alliya, she used to go by the name Douglas. A year and a half into their relationship, everything started to change. Shawn seemed to have a hard time adjusting to Alliya’s transition. He noticed how Alliya’s behavior also changed. Shawn wasn’t a fan of Alliya’s diva personality. He even slammed her by saying, “You can be a boss bh but you can’t be a boss bh with me.” DuringLove In Paradise, I recall Alliya revealing that she and Shawn had not been intimate. She had also found dating apps on her boyfriend’s phone.

Shawn Has Not Told His Family & Friends About Alliya

Is Shawn Embarrassed Of Being With Alliya?

Shawn was having a hard time being monogamous. He may have tried to open the relationship because he was more interested in being with men than with women and, hence, couldn’t feel attracted towards Alliya after her transition. Moreover, I do think that since Shawn hasn’t been able to accept Alliya himself, he alsodoesn’t feel comfortable talking about his relationship with his friendsand family. Shawn’s mother was the only person who had talked to both Douglas and Alliya.

“It’s a recipe for a lot of opinions”

Shawn’s three children and some of hisclosest friends didn’t know who Alliya wasor that she even existed. Shawn hadn’t told them that she was coming to the US, or that she was trans. Shawn hid his engagement from everyone around him. Shawn claimed that the reason he hadn’t told friends and family was because his and Aaliyah’s relationship kept changing. One of the things that Shawn thought would probably have been the hardest for people to understand was that he mostly dated men, but he was now marrying Alliya, a woman.

Did Shawn Ever Want To Marry Douglas?

When 62-year-old Shawn started dating 25-year-old Douglas, it may have been the kind of relationship that he never wanted to end in marriage. It explains why Shawn was involved with other people on the side. He has admitted that he found explaining to his family and friends that he was dating someone from another country a difficult task. Shawn also didn’t want to let them know that hewas involved with someone who was “super younger” than him. It remains to be seen how the90 Day Fiancéstar breaks the news to his loved ones to eventually get stood up.
