90 Day: The Single Life star Jamal Menzies is looking different since his split with Veronica Rodriguez. Veronica introduced Jamal as her boyfriend in season 3 of the 90 Day Fiancé spin-off and shocked viewers. No one expected Veronica to be dating Kim Menzies’s son, who was a decade younger than her. Veronica and Jamal didn’t seem to make a compatible pair. Jamal wasn’t even interested in dating Veronica officially. As expected, the couple broke up within months of going “exclusive.” The way Jamal dumped Veronica was also worth noting.
Jamal was known as the voice of reason for his mom, Kim when she dated Usman Umar. He was the ultimate catch to some viewers. Jamal was emotionally intelligent and respectful towards other women while also being a dutiful son. However, Jamal showed a different side to him when he became Veronica’s lover. The 90 Day Fiancé heartthrob was a playboy that fans came to detest. The fans who once were begging to see Jamal in more spin-offs now want him off their screens, never to come back.
Jamal’s Look In His Debut 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days
Jamal became a 90 Day Fiancé sensation the moment he appeared on-screen in his mom’s segment in Before the 90 Days season 5. Jamal was yet to be introduced in person and Kim was shown talking to him over a video call. However, Jamal’s charm and easy-going personality won over fans. Kim had called him her biggest achievement. She said Jamal was the best thing to come out of her 20 years of marriage to her ex-husband. Jamal kept things comfy in his sweaters whenever he gave relationship advice to his mother, who was blindly in love with the Nigerian rapper.
Jamal’s Style Went Through Major Transformation On 90 Day: The Single Life
Veronica first noticed Jamal and felt an attraction to him during the Tell All for Before the 90 Days season 5. Veronica and Tim were filming their Pillow Talk segments for the episode when Tim turned to his best friend and asked if Jamal was “rocking gold hoops.” Jamal wore a navy blue suit for the reunion episode with a white shirt. Jamal’s looks during that episode floored quite a few fans. They even reached out to Kim and asked her if her son was single. Meanwhile, Veronica had told Tim, “Look, I don’t know, but I want to know how old he is because…”
Tim sensed that Veronica was interested in Jamal and asked her if she was “feeling it.” Veronica replied, “Mmmhmm, I could…I could work with all of that.” Interestingly, Jamal’s next Tell All appearance was with Veronica for 90 Day: The Single Life season 3. This time around, the mature, kind, and considerate Jamal, who wore a brown suit, had the kind of body language that made him look cocky. Fans wondered if he lost his charm since he found out he was a fan favorite and let the fame get to his head.
Did Veronica Try To Change Jamal’s Style?
The way Jamal spoke about not wanting a serious relationship with Veronica didn’t do him any favors. Jamal got the thumbs down from fans for his attitude and his new style wasn’t helping either. Veronica’s style is a mix of athletic prep and romantic. Jamal also went from wearing his usual crew neck jumpers to wearing short-sleeved button-down shirts. If Jamal was dressing up as a boy when he was known as Kim’s son, Veronica’s boyfriend dressed like a man who had a laidback attitude but was always in the mood to fight Tim and prove his “manliness.”

While Jamal did start dressing up like a grown-up, his behavior did not suggest he knew what it was like to be in a committed relationship. All Jamal wanted was to have fun and do things the way he wanted. He didn’t want to conform to “boyfriend duties” such as texting Veronica back and asking her what she was up to. Fans slammed Jamal for coming across as petty and insecure. He wanted to look put together knowing how much criticism he was getting online, but Jamal became a disappointment, and his new style couldn’t mask his immaturity and selfishness.

However, Jamal could have learned from his mistakes after Veronica made him understand what he did wrong. Jamal developed a tendency to run away from relationships once they became serious and his texting Veronica a peace sign to break up with her was a sign of him still being emotionally unintelligent. Still, Jamal hasn’t taken a step back from meeting other women. Reddit user rrunboy12 saw Jamal at the San Diego Bunny Ball with a mystery woman. Jamal suited up for the event in a classic tuxedo. It was perhaps the first time fans had seen him dressed in formals.

Jamal’s Instagram lately has been him subtly throwing shade at Veronica and perhaps even Tim after what happened at the Tell All. Jamal showed an interest in meeting Veronica after the show was done filming and while she told him she’d meet him, Veronica ditched Jamal for her cast member friends. Jamal has since been flaunting his dapper new look on social media. He posed next to a BMW Z4 sports car dressed in a formal two-piece suit and a bow tie. Jamal’s caption was, “We’re doing just fine” and his hashtag, “#foryou” spoke volumes about who it was meant for.

Jamal was seen with Natalie Mordovtseva’s sometimes boyfriend Josh Weinstein and Rob Warne and partied with them at Bottled Blonde in Dallas. Jamal seems to be interested in hanging out with the best-dressed men in the franchise. Rob is a former model and actor, while Josh is the CEO of a modeling agency. Jamal might even be trying his hand at modeling soon, like most other franchise cast members, and his makeover is hinting at his career change.

Jamal is trying his best to deal with heartbreak. Not only did Veronica reject him, but she’s also rubbing her happiness in his face by posting selfies with her boyfriend. Switching up one’s style after a breakup can almost feel cathartic. Jamal is trying to dress his way out of the breakup by dressing cooler. He wants to attract attention and regain the confidence he may have lost after the split. He could be wearing things he never allowed himself to wear in his 90 Day: The Single Life relationship. Jamal is picking up the pieces and doing it fashionably.
