This Is What Happened to Shawn and Alliya After 90 Day Fiancé Season 11
Shan Finch and Alia De Batista may have fooled everyone with their incredible acting on 90-Day Fiance season 11. Their relationship turned into one of the most dramatic storylines in the show’s history.
Throughout the season, Shawn appeared constantly grumpy and conflicted about whether he truly wanted to marry Aliyah. His struggle wasn’t just about commitment; it was about attraction. Shawn openly expressed his preference for men.
Meanwhile, Aliyah, formerly known as Douglas, focused on completing her transition to fully embrace her identity as a woman. Her goals of undergoing bottom surgery and enhancing her feminine features with chest implants became central points in their journey.
Was It Real Love or Just for the Cameras?
Despite their unique circumstances, the biggest question remained: was their love real, or was it just an act for the cameras?
The couple’s wedding was far from romantic, and it wasn’t simply because of Aliyah’s unconventional wedding dress. The atmosphere felt cold and forced. Shawn’s behavior during the ceremony reinforced the impression that he had only agreed to the marriage for legal reasons rather than love.
He rushed through the vows with an air of impatience, as though fulfilling an obligation rather than celebrating the start of a lifelong union. His infamous remark, “Welcome to citizenship,” only added to the speculation. Many viewers suspected Shawn was marrying Aliyah to help her secure a green card rather than out of genuine commitment.
Post-Show Reality
Yet, despite all the uncertainty and tension that played out on screen, Shawn and Alia appear to be going strong after filming concluded.
The couple was recently spotted in Los Angeles meeting up with Sarper and Shikina. The group looked completely happy together, raising doubts about whether any of the drama from the show was real.
This sighting supports the theory that both couples deliberately played up relationship struggles for entertainment value. Far from fractured and failing relationships, the four seemed to be thriving in love.
Masterful Strategy or Misinterpretation?
Whether this was all a masterful reality TV strategy or simply a misinterpretation by fans, one thing is clear: Shawn and Aliyah are still together.
This leaves audiences wondering just how much of what they watched was scripted drama rather than genuine emotion.
