90 Day Fiancé season 11 has brought the captivating journey of Alliya de Batista, who emotionally shared the news of becoming a “mom” through her social media accounts. Alliya, a Brazilian trans woman, first graced viewers’ screens on 90 Day Fiancé: Love in Paradise alongside her partner, Shawn Finch. Initially known as Douglas, Alliya embarked on a transformational journey, embracing her femininity and evolving into her true self. This transition has led Shawn to navigate complex emotions as he mourns the loss of the person he once met.
The relationship between Alliya and Shawn has certainly raised eyebrows, particularly due to their significant age gap—Shawn being 62 years old while Alliya is only 25. Their dynamic has fueled discussions around Shawn’s interest in an open relationship, which Alliya has expressed concerns about. Many fans have questioned Shawn’s level of commitment to Alliya, and it remains to be seen how this will evolve as the season progresses.

Despite the exciting developments, commitment issues linger.

Yet, there’s positive news—Alliya remains settled in Los Angeles and confidently confirmed her new identity as a “mom.”
In a touching social media post, Alliya shared a heartfelt moment with a pet, stating, “I’ve always heard about the love we have for animals, but I didn’t know that they can transform us into better human beings and bring brightness to our lives.” She affectionately referred to her pet as her “best friend” and conveyed deep gratitude for the unconditional love and support received during her journey in the U.S., declaring, “In your eyes, I discovered a new version of love.
