90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way star Yazan Abu Horira is married to a woman named Leena after his messy breakup with Brittany Banks. Yazan and Brittany were one of the most talked about couples in season 2 because of the controversial nature of their relationship. Yazan and Brittany had met through his sister who lived in the U.S. above Brittany’s mother’s apartment. While Brittany was moving to Jordan to marry Yazan, she had not told him she was still married to her ex-husband. Meanwhile, Yazan’s family expected a traditional Muslim woman as their daughter-in-law.
Brittany made no effort to learn more about Yazan’s culture or respecting his parents. Yazan’s family even took offense to Brittany’s racy social media posts. When Yazan refused to end his relationship with Brittany, he was kicked out of his parent’s house and fired from his job. Yazan even stayed on the street for two days. Despite the differences, Brittany and Yazan were together in the finale. Brittany was making plans to bring Yazan to the U.S. and was going to file his K-1 visa. However, things ended soon after, and Yazan ended up romancing “Lulu” AKA Leena.
