KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Few couples in the 90 Day Fiancé universe have faced as much scrutiny, intense online debate, and emotional hardship as Bilal Hazziez and Shaeeda Sween. From explosive prenup clashes and viral pranks to heartbreak and high-risk pregnancies, the Kansas City-based pair became one of the most talked-about couples in the entire TLC franchise.
Years after their Season 9 debut and subsequent appearance on Happily Ever After?, fans continue to question the state of their marriage. So, where do Bilal and Shaeeda stand today? Here is the complete breakdown of their relationship update for 2026.
From a Rocky Start to TLC Infamy
The couple’s online romance quickly transitioned into high-stakes reality TV drama after Bilal traveled to Trinidad and Tobago, proposing just seven days after meeting Shaeeda in person. Their journey on Season 9 immediately sparked backlash across social media due to several key friction points:
- The Airport Prank: Bilal picked up Shaeeda in a beat-up work van and brought her to a run-down childhood home as a «test» of her intentions, which viewers widely criticized.
- Prenup Battles: Financial anxieties caused deep divides, leading Shaeeda to sign a prenuptial agreement on the condition that they would start trying for a baby before she turned 40.
- Family Tension: Tense interactions with Bilal’s ex-wife, Shahidah Salaam, added further strain during their early days in the United States.
Despite the heavy skepticism from fans, the couple made franchise history as the first featured Muslim couple on 90 Day Fiancé, legally tying the knot in late 2021 following a traditional Nikah ceremony.
Overcoming Heartbreak: Miscarriages and the Birth of Baby Ayaan
The central conflict of their storyline shifted to family planning during Happily Ever After? Season 7. While Bilal initially hesitated to expand his family beyond his two older children, Shaeeda remained steadfast about becoming a mother.
After Bilal publicly agreed to open their lives to a child during the January 2023 Tell-All, the couple endured a painful series of setbacks, including two tragic miscarriages between 2023 and early 2024. The losses fueled widespread split rumors, which Shaeeda quickly put to rest online.
The tide turned on December 14, 2024, when the couple welcomed their «miracle baby,» a son named Ayaan, following two days of labor. The arrival marked a massive turning point for the couple, shifting their focus away from reality TV drama and entirely onto parenthood.
Are Bilal and Shaeeda Still Together in 2026?
Yes, Bilal Hazziez and Shaeeda Sween are still happily married in 2026.
The couple continues to reside in the greater Kansas City area, where they are actively raising their young son. Rather than hinting at any marital discord, their current life looks remarkably steady compared to their stormy television debut:
- Family First: Their online presence via their joint account (
@bilalandshaeeda) and Shaeeda’s personal page focuses heavily on family vlogs, daily routines, and parenting milestones with Ayaan. - Joint Ventures: In addition to Bilal’s real estate career and Shaeeda’s expanding yoga brand, the duo launched a media production venture serving as executive producers and hosts for a platform connecting single Muslims.
- Future on TLC: As of mid-2026, TLC has not officially announced a return season for the couple, and no second pregnancy has been confirmed.
Having weathered intense public criticism, grief, and lifestyle adjustments, Bilal and Shaeeda have proven to be one of the franchise’s most resilient success stories.
