Ariela Danielle wasn't too thrilled to see her boyfriend, Biniyam Shibre, sporting a new short haircut when she first arrived in Ethiopia on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way. She was used to his long, lovely dreadlocks. Considering how much Ariela loved them, many fans are curious to know why Biniyam let go of his old look.
Ari and Biniyam met in Ethiopia while she was visiting the country. The way New Jersey native describes their story, it was probably love at first sight. She fell for Biniyam (and his looks), got into a relationship quite fast, and became pregnant. Ari decided to move to Ethiopia to have the baby, and was excited to see her boyfriend once again. But as soon as she landed in the new country and saw Biniyam's changed physical appearance, she had an anxiety attack. Biniyam looked like a completely different person to her. He chopped off his hair and also lost some weight. Basically, the 29-year-old seemed like a stranger to the expectant mother. During a confessional, she said, "Biniyam looks totally different. We haven't seen each other in three months, and before then he had really long dreadlocks which were what made me notice him right away. And now he looks so skinny and he cut his hair. It's like I'm looking at a stranger." Many 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way viewers noticed that Biniyam's new look impacted Ari's attraction towards him. She somewhat lost affection for him after he cut off his hair. Now, obviously, fans want to know why Biniyam opted for this look and jeopardized things with his girlfriend.
Ariela took to her Instagram and addressed this burning matter. She told her 19K IG followers that Biniyam cut his hair because he was supposed to compete in a sports competition in Brazil at that time. Plus, those long dreadlocks reminded him of his American ex-wife, so he wanted to get rid of them. The 28-year-old TLC star wrote on her IG story, "I think also he didn't want to be reminded of his ex-wife who was the one that liked dreadlocks and told him to get them in the first place. I think it was kind of like a way to get over his past relationship. So I was really supportive of it, and I loved it." Check out his old look below:
Many 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way fans lashed out at Ari for only falling for her boyfriend's physical appearance. One Reddit user said, "Ariela's weird reaction to Biniyam's physical appearance, it kind of rubbed me the wrong way when she said that the last time she saw him he was bulkier and had dreadlocks, which attracted him to her in the first place."
But, Ariela also cleared up this misconception. In another IG story, she stated that she didn't have any negative response to her boyfriend's changed look. In fact, she was quite supportive of it. She did see him in short hair via pictures and videos before she arrived in Ethiopia with 90 Day Fiancé crew, so she had some idea of what to expect.
90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way airs Mondays at 9 pm ET on TLC.
