90 Day: The Single Life star Tiffany Franco has been the villain of her storyline all along. Tiffany is known for her appearance on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 1 alongside Ronald Smith. Tiffany had met Ronald unexpectedly while she was in South Africa with a friend. Tiffany found out about Ronald’s criminal past and gambling addiction yet decided to get married to him. Tiffany wanted to settle down in South Africa with him, but Ronald’s past led to his visa issues. The couple’s marriage took a serious turn when she became pregnant with their daughter Carley and didn’t want to give birth to or raise her in SA.
Tiffany accused Ronald of being an irresponsible father who didn’t help her emotionally or financially. Tiffany said that COVID-19 really put their marriage through the wringer. She claimed she was left all alone to be a responsible parent and Ronald wasn’t even giving her money to buy their baby’s diapers. However, this wasn’t what made Tiffany and Ronald’s relationship toxic. Tiffany and Ronald split and have been back together countless times since their wedding in 2018 until they finally split for good in November 2022.

The trip was going to be more permanent than just a destination wedding. Tiffany was “pondering” whether she was going to stay in South Africa forever, given that Ronald’s past was making it difficult for him to come to America.

The realities of life in South Africa hit Ronald and Daniel’s relationship “hard.” Ronald said South Africa was “dangerous” and not something Tiffany and Daniel were used to.
Tiffany and Ronald got married despite him telling her about the murders, burglary, ATM bombings, etc. They still had no idea where they were going to live. It turned into a massive concern when the newlywed Tiffany found out she was pregnant. Tiffany was happy to be pregnant but was concerned about giving birth in a foreign country.

Tiffany was telling him about things that stressed him out or upset him when she shouldn’t have been exposed in the first place. She knew that Daniel didn’t want to stay in South Africa. She had him calling the man who lived half a world away “dad” when she seemed ready to end the relationship in every 90DF episode.
Tiffany thought that Daniel meeting and seeing what it was like to have a dad would be enough and the “rest would fall into place” but that wasn’t going to work out. She was shown asking Daniel for dating advice on 90 Day: The Single Life. Daniel’s childhood was stolen from him.
