90 Day Fiancé: Nicole & Mahmoud’s Relationship Is Doomed (They Aren’t Meant For Each Other)
90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? couple Nicole Sherbiny and Mahmoud El Sherbiny won’t stay together for long after season 8. Nicole is a delivery driver and clothing reseller from Los Angeles who was tired of her job and looking for inner peace when she went to Egypt five years ago. On the last day of her trip, Nicole walked into a fabric store and saw Mahmoud working there. Nicole and Mahmoud spent the entire day together, and when she went back to America, he asked her to marry him.
Nicole returned in two weeks to marry Mahmoud but couldn’t last for two months in Egypt. Nicole wasn’t able to adapt to Mahmoud’s culture and the strict rules he had set for his now-Muslim wife. Nicole missed her free life in the U.S. Nicole knew she had to divorce Mahmoud but gave him another chance by moving back to Cairo in 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 4. Nicole was unsuccessful in her mission yet again, leading to her decision that Mahmoud should move to America instead. Little did Nicole know about the new challenges she’d be facing.
Mahmoud Is Judgemental Of Nicole
Mahmoud revealed how controlling he was in the relationship right from the start. Mahmoud expected his wife to behave in a certain way and wanted a conservative Muslim wife. He wanted Nicole to cover her hair and dress appropriately without him telling her how to do it. Mahmoud may have expected Nicole to have learned his likes and likes after living together in Egypt. However, Nicole refused to listen to Mahmoud dictating her fashion choices. Dressing differently meant she was changing her identity, and as someone with a graduate degree in fashion, Nicole wasn’t going to do it.
“Cover your stomach.”
Mahmoud wasn’t happy with what Nicole wore when she came to pick him up at the airport. He asked her, “What’s this?” referring to Nicole’s gray top and matching skirt. He asked Nicole to cover her exposed stomach. Nicole said she wanted to look nice for Mahmoud. However, the visible sliver of Nicole’s tummy made Mahmoud feel uncomfortable. He told her she always looked nice, “But not like to show your stomach.” Nicole felt embarrassed because of her own husband in front of the cameras and the people around them at the airport.
Mahmoud Doesn’t Love Living In The U.S.
Mahmoud had a sour look on his face from the moment he set foot in Los Angeles. He mocked the way Nicole was driving, asking her if she was sure she knew how to drive. He said, “Egypt is the best,” because he didn’t like how quiet LA was with only cars and no people around; Mahmoud felt “weird” in the U.S. Nicole blamed it on Mahmoud being exhausted, leading to him being homesick. Mahmoud went ahead and ridiculed Nicole’s nude painting and the unclothed mannequin in her living room. Nicole expected Mahmoud to be a lot more excited.
Nicole was irritated that Mahmoud didn’t sleep on the plane. She wanted Mahmoud to be happy to see her and not label everything she owned or did as “weird.” Nicole told Mahmoud his behavior irritated her, and Mahmoud promised her that the “next time,” he would listen to her. Nicole wished Mahmoud would understand what she went through in Egypt now that he was in a new country himself. However, things are just going to get worse for Nicole and Mahmoud on 90 Day Fiancé:Happily Ever After? season 8.
Mahmoud Was Arrested For Domestic Violence
Instagram page MerryPants posted about Mahmoud being arrested on February 22. The blogger revealed that Mahmoud was arrested in Los Angeles and charged with misdemeanor domestic violence. According to InTouch, Mahmoud had an alleged altercation with Nicole, leading to his February 20, 2024, arrest. Mahmoud was held on a $20,000 bail and was released on a bond later that night after a friend took care of the bail. Interestingly, the 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8 trailer shows Nicole frantically searching for Mahmoud after he disappears with her phone and credit card after a fight.
Are Nicole & Mahmoud Still Together?
Nicole & Mahmoud’s Shocking Relationship Update
Mahmoud’s court date was set for mid-March. He had to be in court even if Nicole did not press charges.

The blogger shared a screenshot of a fan who saw the couple at a grocery store in Silverlake. According to the 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? viewer, Nicole looked “great” while Mahmoud was “still a tragic mess” when they saw the couple shopping at their workplace.
