A lot has happened in her life since Amanda Wilhelm was last seen on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. Amanda is from Eunice, Louisiana and she fell for Razvan Ciocoi from Romania. Amanda had a tragic backstory where she had lost her husband Jason Wilhelm to ampullary cancer in 2022. Jason’s death was sudden. Amanda’s first husband was only given three months to live with chemotherapy. Amanda had to deal with her husband’s death at just 31 years old.
Amanda found her escape in social media. She was once scrolling the TikTok app when she came across Razvan. Amanda’s friend was doing a live stream with Razvan. Amanda liked how silly Razvan was, and she thought he was cute. Amanda sent Razvan a rose which was worth less than a dollar, but as soon as Amanda and Razvan started dating, there was no looking back to Amanda. Amanda knew Razvan could never take Jason’s place, yet she felt a strong attraction towards him.

A widow with two little kids, the 31-year-old Amanda had started dating Razvan just a couple of months after her husband suddenly died of cancer. Amanda was moving too fast in the relationship and her loved ones, like her sister, expressed their concerns. Amanda was not just having a fling with a long-distance lover, she was dreaming of meeting him and coming back to the U.S. with a ring on her finger. She didn’t even consider that she was not the only fan who had slid into Razvan’s DMs. Razvan was a TikTok stripper, after all.
