90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days star Hamza Moknii is still bitter about his failed marriage with Memphis Smith. Memphis, a single mom of two from Michigan, became known to reality TV show fans through Before the 90 Days season 5. Memphis, 34, had met Tunisian man Hamza online, and within a few months of talking, flew to his country to get married to him. What Memphis didn't know was that Hamza was 26 and not 28 years old like he'd told her. Hamza didn't have a job, couldn't speak English, and had dreams of making it big in America, where Memphis wanted to take him.
The couple got married within two weeks of meeting in person. In the third week, Memphis discovered she was pregnant. Hamza and Memphis's marriage lasted for a little over a year. How Hamza is taking aim at his ex-wife via an Instagram Story.
He posted a birthday wish for his daughter Kiori Love Moknii, who was born in October 2021. He wrote, "On this day, God gave me the most precious thing in my life.” Hamza referred to his 2-year-old child as his "source of light" and his "sunshine." Hamza continued, “I want to see you and hug you, even if only for a few seconds. I will keep trying for that, my dear. I love you my heart.” He suggested his ex-wife was keeping him from seeing Kiori in person.
Hamza Won't Date American Women Anymore After Memphis
Hamza came to the U.S. in November 2021. Soon enough, things started heading south for the couple. Hamza had already learned that Memphis was close to her ex-husband Justin Sandoval. After coming to America, he suspected that Memphis was cheating on him and even asked for a paternity test to confirm that Kiori was his daughter. Hamza and Memphis were seemingly still together when the Tell-All was filmed in January 2022. In April 2022, Memphis confirmed she was single again via a sneaky Instagram hashtag. Hamza left Michigan to live in Chicago. He still appears to be in the U.S. but has not revealed if he's dating anyone new.
However, after sharing his birthday wish for his baby, Hamza posted a cryptic update about his dating life. He wrote, “No more relationship with American woman." Hamza added, “Zero.” Hamza and Memphis' divorce was finalized in October 2022. The couple was entangled in a messy custody battle for their daughter. Hamza began posting emotional messages on Instagram about not being able to see his daughter and spent Father's Day alone. But after it was confirmed that Hamza was indeed the father of Memphis' third child, Hamza was asked by the court to pay child support.
Hamza appears to have not seen Kiori since October 2022. There is a picture with his baby that he shared on Instagram back then. To Hamza, it was the happiest day of his life. Memphis, meanwhile, has not been active on Instagram. There were rumors that the couple was filming a new spin-off. But 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 5 was the last time they were seen in the franchise. What really went wrong between the couple for Hamza to move to Chicago is still not confirmed. The couple might need to share the truth with their fans themselves as speculation keeps mounting.
