90 Day Fiancé: Why Fans Think Alina & Caleb Are Faking Their Romance

Alina Kozhevnikova and Caleb Greenwood are one of the most buzzed-about 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 5 couples, but some 90 Day Fiancé fans think their online romance is fake. Despite skepticism over their relationship validity, many are already loving Alina. However, Caleb has received a far colder reception from 90 Day Fiancé viewers.

Alina and Caleb met thirteen years ago and became close online friends. The two eventually lost touch and reconnected on a dating app when American Caleb was planning a trip to Alina’s native Russia. Though Caleb’s trip fell through, the chance connection brought him closer to Alina. Alina and Caleb struck up an online romance and decided to meet together in Turkey for the first time. As a little person, Alina faces challenges when it comes to traveling and everyday tasks. She brought her best friend and roommate Elijah along to help her navigate her trip, which upset Caleb. Viewers are already turning on Caleb before he even meets Alina, as few think he understands her needs.

Although Alina has received overwhelming support for her confidence, personality, and style, some viewers are questioning her motives. Alina has already discussed that she wanted to appear on Before the 90 Days to normalize dating with a disability, which is incredibly admirable. However, she is also using her new platform to promote her music career. Alina’s segments have featured her songs, which viewers are loving. Also, Alina took to Reddit after the premiere episode to further promote herself and her music. This move has caused some viewers to question if launching her music career has been Alina’s main goal all along.

As for Caleb, many viewers are seriously doubting his commitment to Alina. Caleb failed to book a hotel with an elevator, which was a major issue when Alina discovered their room was on the second floor. Caleb, his family, and friends have also displayed insensitivity when it comes to Alina being a little person. Therefore, many viewers are questioning how serious he is about dating someone with a disability and think the Russian beauty deserves far better. Some have even speculated that Alina and Caleb truly did meet online but are simply extremely good friends. The two might have decided to apply for the show to bring more attention to their respective careers.

The fact that Alina is launching a music career and Caleb is eager for the Cameo coin certainly supports suspicious Before the 90 Days viewers who wonder if Alina and Caleb are just clever promoters. However, this doesn’t change the fact that many viewers are already fond of Alina. In contrast, appearing in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise is so far doing Caleb few favors as many viewers dislike him. New episodes of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days will help viewers see if Caleb and Alina truly have a romantic spark.

90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EST on TLC.
