It’s the news everyone (except perhaps Nicole Nafziger) saw coming…
The 90 Day Fiance star announced on Monday that she has split with her longtime Moroccan fiancé, Azan Tefou after five years (sort of) together. For years, Nicole’s followers and fans of the show have questioned Nicole’s claims that she and Azan were still together; however this marks the first time Nicole has confirmed the split.
Nicole released statements about the breakup to two media outlets (with one being a clickbait story that will allow her to cash in on the news.)
“Azan and I have decided to go our separate ways,” Nicole told Us Weekly and Celebuzz on Monday. “We had much love and respect for each other…
She then stated what may be the understatement of the century.
“…but we weren’t without our faults. Unfortunately, we can no longer continue our journey together.
Nicole— who spent a good part of last year in Morocco away from her young daughter May, due to getting trapped there when COVID-19 travel restrictions shut down air travel—then claims that she expects her fans to be surprised by the breakup, given how healthy her relationship with Azan had been.
“This may be a shock to many because we stayed strong for so long through it all,” Nicole said.
“As we move forward and heal, we ask that you respect both parties and not constantly ask about it. Thank you to everyone who has supported us together and continue to support [us] as separate individuals.”
Nicole confirmed that her breakup with Azan was not a nasty one.
“[Azan] is a good person and deserves to be happy as much as I do. We ended on good terms and I wish him the best,” she said.
Nicole and Azan first appeared on “90 Day Fiance” back in 2016. Their relationship was rocky— to say the least— with breakups, cancelled weddings, rumors of Azan having another wife, and other issues dominating their time on the show.
Nicole is known for frequently defending her relationship to critics and, up until recently, maintained that she and Azan planned to get married and expand their family.
While Azan has yet to speak out about Nicole’s breakup announcement, Nicole’s Instagram followers had plenty to say about it. Many brought up the fact that Azan never tried to hide his seemingly lackluster feelings for Nicole while on the show.

“We knew that [you broke up] already. We were waiting for you to catch up,” one person commented on her clickbait post.
“She needs to work on herself,” another person wrote of Nicole in the comment section. “She put her own selfishness ahead of the welfare of her small child. She was petulant and refused to listen to advice of her family. She lied about the relationship, money and her finances.”
“I thought you’ve been over this entire time. Not shocked you broke up, shocked you guys were together,” another commenter wrote.
“Done? It was a one sided relationship to begin with. Hope you shop closer to home next time,” someone else posted in the comments.

As someone who lives in Morocco, she was never trapped here due to COVID. The US Dept ran repatriation flights regularly for US citizens to return home. She could have gone home, although she would have had to pay for that flight, but the flights weren’t that expensive.
Let me post a thousand pictures of Azan and I while commenting about our breakup. LOL
He dumped her, finally.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA*gasps for breath* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Keep telling yourself that, Nicole. You are the only one ‘shocked’ and you are the only one dumb enough to think that this was ever a relationship. Azan blatantly couldn’t stand to be around you, you cheated on him and physically abused him, you are a lazy fat slob who doesn’t try to make the best of themselves, you disrespect his culture, you almost certainly are slow in the head, and you are stubborn and selfish. Your mom knew it, ragin’ Joe Cajun knew it, your brother and father knew it, even your toddler daughter knew it. Now get a grip, get a job and pay attention to your poor poor child. Fucking moron.
Wow….I can’t believe it. My life will never be the same. Please tell me this is a joke? Lol…..now go take care of May. Give her the love and attention you gave the user…I mean Azan
Its uuuuuuserrr (a là Danielle lol)
I liked Nicole in the beginning but once you saw how cold Alan was to her and how she totally disregarded her daughter and what EVERY SINGLE PERSON told her, I lost any respect I had for her.
You NEVER put a man over your child! Shame on her!
She was living a fantasyland life and was so far from reality it was scary!
I hope her mom has her daughter so the child can have some stability in her life!
Azan is scum who used her for money and then, tried really hard, to get rid of her!
I hope they both learned a lesson!
“Almost there, lazy” ??
I came here to say exactly this.
It’s possibly my all time favorite one liner from 90 Day Fiance.
Umm,is Nicole smoking crack!? There was no relationship between her and Azan,Not For Awile now!lol smh,the Only person I felt bad for was little May, Nicole is just a lier,and Azan was just a user, and he banked of Nicole!shes a walk job frfr
OMG this is such an unexpected development! (said no one ever)
Is anyone actually shocked by this? Anyone at all? He was already over her the very first time he met her in person at the airport. He was simply using her but she was too smitten to notice. I hope she learns her lesson and spends her time and money on her daughter, instead.
I’m more shocked that you atill thought you were still a couple.
Ummm…”This may be a shock to many”. Nicole, this is not a shock. What would be a shock to many is if you put your daughter first.
