90 Day Fiancé: Amanda Wilhelm’s Confusing Dating History Explained (What Do Her Children Think About Her New Boyfriend, Joel?)
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.
How Many Men Has Amanda Dated Since Her Husband Passed Away?
Amanda’s dating history has confused fans. When the reality star appeared on reality TV, she was overcoming the loss of her husband. At the time, she was dating Razvan, who wasn’t a good fit for her. Once Amanda realized she didn’t have a future with the Romanian man, it became a wake-up call for her. She returned to the United States and re-evaluated her romantic goals. In 2024, Amanda sparked relationship rumors with Scott Wern. The two posted cuddly photos online and surprised fans with their friendship. Scott and Amanda didn’t confirm their dating rumors at the time.
After Amanda’s brief stint with Scott, she started posting photos with another man. She didn’t hide the nature of her relationship with him. In mid-2024, Amanda made her new relationship Instagram official. She also commented on how many men she had dated since losing her husband. The 90 Day Fiancé franchise alum wrote, “I left my kids for 20 days to meet Razvan in 2022,” and admitted she didn’t date anyone after him. She confirmed that the new guy in her photos was her second boyfriend since her husband passed away two years ago.
Why Did Amanda & Razvan Break Up?
Amanda & Razvan Had Different Goals & Aspirations
Amanda and Razvan had many things in common. They were of the same age and had similar interests, such as fitness and fashion. Unfortunately, they failed to make their relationship work because of different expectations from each other.

Amanda and Razvan ended their relationship after the former returned to the United States. Amanda revealed that Razvan broke up with her because he wanted to be single.
Were Amanda & Scott Wern In A Relationship?
