90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days star Razvan Ciocoi’s behavior has proven he’s a better man than many fans believed him to be. Coming on the heels of the explosive two-part Tell-All of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 4, most 90 Day Fiancé fans had high expectations for the sixth installment of 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days, which hit the screens on June 4. The first episode certainly didn’t disappoint as we were introduced to a 31-year-old mother of two, Amanda Wilhelm. She raised eyebrows due to her intriguing backstory.
Before her reality TV debut, Amanda was with her late husband, Jason, for over a decade. However, her world turned upside down last year when Jason died ten days after his cancer diagnosis. Given that filming for season 6 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days began sometime last year, Amanda’s participation in the show has been heavily scrutinized.
Most felt Amanda’s relationship with her Romanian boyfriend Razvan Ciocoi was moving too fast. Even Amanda’s sister Amber voiced her concerns over her relationship with Razvan and claimed Amanda was only using it to fill the void left by Jason. On the other hand, many felt Razvan was taking advantage of Amanda in a vulnerable state.
Indeed, fans believed Razvan exploited the situation to gain fame and kickstart his acting and modeling career. They found it challenging to warm up to him, especially considering he had already been divorced by age 26. However, recent development on the show has caused everyone to have a change of heart regarding the Romanian.
Razvan Takes His Romance With Amanda Seriously
So far, Razvan has impressed those who strongly believe you should never judge a book by its cover. His behavior towards Amanda remarkably betrays the bad boy image that his topless modeling snaps on Instagram so desperately try to pin on him. Despite his raunchy online persona, his behavior on the show slowly alleviates viewers’ reservations about him.
Without a doubt, Razvan and Amanda found each other in the most unusual circumstance. Starting a romantic relationship so soon after Amanda lost her husband would always be a hard sell. The duo has undoubtedly received their fair share of criticism right from the beginning of the season. However, Razvan is slowly warming his way into the hearts of fans as he appears to be genuinely in love with Amanda.
Unlike most foreign cast members who appear in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, Razvan has not given any hint that he is only interested in Amanda for an American visa. On the contrary, he has gone to great lengths to make her comfortable in Romania. Razvan has tried to build a connection with the mother of two. Additionally, Razvan has won most people over by respecting Amanda’s boundaries and not trying to force intimacy with her.
More importantly, Razvan’s willingness to be a father figure for Amanda’s two children has impressed her. Amanda has been very clear about what she wants from her partner. Still, watching Razvan show interest in them has been thrilling. Razvan even talks to them; it is easy to see his genuineness in everything he does.
Amanda Has Been Cruel To Razvan in 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days
Amanda’s mistreatment of Razvan in Romania made 90-Day Fiancé fans reconsider their feelings toward him. Over the last few days, fans have been talking about the couple on Reddit. One user summed up the duo’s relationship by starting a thread with the caption, “wasn’t expecting to feel bad for Razvan at any point but wow.”
The OP explained how many fans thought the worst of Razvan during the first few episodes. However, Amanda’s terrible treatment of Razvan has caused a swift change in their stance. Meanwhile, Razvan has displayed so much patience despite the repeated gaslighting he gets from Amanda.
Most users commenting on the thread shared the OP’s sentiments. The show’s viewers noted how she has been mean to Razvan from the moment she arrived in Romania and cited the scene where she goaded him for not making room for her in his bathroom. This was just a few moments after he picked her up from the airport, and things had only worsened.
Some fans believe she regrets leaving her children to spend three weeks with him in Romania. However, that is not enough excuse for her terrible attitude towards him. She was very aware of what she was doing and must either make the most of her trip or spare Razvan all the trouble by returning home.
