Amanda Wilhelm from 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days has been romantically linked to several men since her husband passed away, but she has only dated a few. She made her first appearance on the show in 2023 while still grieving the loss of her husband, Jason, and trying to start a relationship with Romanian fitness trainer Razvan Ciocoi. The spin-off featured Amanda traveling to Romania to develop her new connection further. Even though it appeared that she hadn't yet moved on from her late husband, she believed that Razvan would be a good partner for her.
Unfortunately, Amanda was wrong in her judgment. On one hand, she wasn't ready to get serious with another man and needed time to heal. On the other hand, it seemed Razvan wasn't ready to handle the responsibility of being a husband and a stepfather. The Romanian man had big goals for his future and was focused on his acting career. While he was genuine in his relationship, he was also upfront about why he wanted to move to the United States. His main goal was to follow his dreams, which was a big red flag for Amanda.
