90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way star Tiffany Franco is always candid with her fans, but there are still many unique things to learn about her life.

Tiffany has been shocking fans with her recent physical transformation, but she's making it clear that what's inside matters the most. Viewers met Tiffany on the first season of TLC's 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way when she made the controversial decision to move across the world with her young son to be closer to her partner, Ronald, in South Africa. Tiffany and Ronald later appeared on season 6 of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?

The couple has endured many ups and downs while navigating clashing cultures, Ronald's gambling addiction, parenting, and more. Through everything Tiffany has continued to shine, finding herself in her makeup artistry and motherhood. Even though Tiffany is always candid with her fans, there are still many unique things to learn about the reality star.

Tiffany's affinity for makeup should be apparent to anyone who has watched the show. She's always experimenting with bold eyeshadow colors and combinations. In fact, Tiffany loves creating new looks with cosmetics so much that she works as a makeup artist.

Unfortunately, during the pandemic, she wasn't able to see clients with the frequency she had been before. Instead, she began selling makeup tutorials via the content hosting platform Snipfeed. According to her profile, she offers an "exclusive never before seen makeup tutorial using my favorite products" for $20.

Tiffany and Ronald have split up and gotten back together several times over the course of their relationship. In fact, soon after they tied the knot the couple appeared to be vying for a spot amongst 90 Day's shortest-lived marriages. The pair even announced they were divorcing in 2021 and by late last year, Ronald had already introduced his new girlfriend to fans via social media. But in early 2022 the reality star couple appeared to rekindle their relationship.

Tiffany and Ronald's current relationship status is unclear. However, it is worth noting that she has a family emoji and a wedding ring emoji in her Instagram bio, which seem to suggest the couple is together for the moment or at least working on their relationship. Tiffany has been commenting sweetly, as of late, on Ronald's Instagram posts as well.

A fan recently asked Tiffany about her ethnicity on Instagram, to which she replied that she's a "Colombian and Cuban queen." Tiffany's father, Carlos, is Cuban and her mother, Margarita, is Colombian. Tiffany, who was raised in Frederick, Maryland, was born in the United States.

Speaking of ethnicities and nationalities, Tiffany's daughter, Carley, was almost born in South Africa. The reality star even toured maternity wards in the country while filming The Other Way. But ultimately she ended up giving birth in the U.S. It is possible her daughter's birth just happened to line up with a trip home, or that she simply felt more comfortable going to a hospital in her hometown. She may have wanted to secure American citizenship for the baby as well, which would have been more difficult if Carley was born in another country.

90 Day Fiancé franchise star Tiffany recently launched her own cosmetics line, AddyRose Cosmetics, named for her two children. According to the makeup brand's website, the line focuses on "combining simplicity with color," and promotes inclusively by creating "make up for everyone."

The reality star's makeup line leans into her signature pink eyeshadow look. She sells an eyeshadow palette featuring two matte pink hues and two shimmering pink hues, called the Pinky Winky Palette, as well as a limited-edition makeup brush set featuring 11 light pink brushes of various sizes and a travel case of the same color.

Tiffany has been open about the gastric sleeve surgery she had last year. Since the weight loss surgery, Tiffany has lost more than 80lbs, but the reality star maintains she underwent the procedure for her health. Tiffany has said of her gastric sleeve, "it was a step toward a happier and healthier me." Tiffany also insists the surgery had "nothing to do with skinny, fat, whatever."

Tiffany is one of many 90 Day stars who've had weight loss surgery. She was confident and body-positive before the surgery and has doubled down on her healthy outlook after. Hopefully, the gastric sleeve allows Tiffany to continue reaching for her health goals.

In addition to her makeup tutorials and cosmetics line, Tiffany has many hustles for extra income. The reality star has a Cameo account where she records personalized greetings for $75 each, as well as a Snipfeed account where fans can ask specific questions or request advice for $45. She also has a Poshmark page where she sells her lightly worn clothing items.

In addition, Tiffany acts as a brand ambassador for many products on her Instagram page, where she boasts 569K followers. She regularly partners with wellness brands such as Teami, which sells detox teas and superfood powders, Flat Tummy Co., and Smooth Moisture hair products. Tiffany is one of many 90 Day Fiancé stars who hustle hard.

Tiffany is very close to her mother, Margarita. The reality star and her son even lived with her mother until they moved to South Africa. Tiffany and her father, Carlos, are not as close, but they appear to be working on their relationship.

Carlos has been absent from Tiffany's life since she was a young child, but he recently reached out and is attempting to be present for his daughter and grandchildren. The father/daughter duo are becoming better acquainted and Carlos seems to be earning Tiffany's trust. Carlos even helped Tiffany co-sponsor Ronald's visa, which can involve a large financial obligation. Hopefully, the pair remain in each other's lives and Tiffany's children can enjoy getting to know their grandfather.

Many 90 Day couples met in unique ways, and Tiffany and Ronald are no exception. The couple met through a mutual friend while Tiffany and the friend were on vacation in Ronald's home country of South Africa. While vacationing, her travel buddy, who has family and friends in South Africa, introduced her to Ronald.

Tiffany and Ronald quickly connected and experienced a great deal of chemistry while getting to know each other. They stayed in touch when Tiffany returned to the United States. Six months later, she went back to South Africa to reconnect with her then-boyfriend, Ronald, who officially proposed during that visit.

Viewers first met Tiffany's eldest child, Daniel, on The Other Way when he relocated to South Africa alongside his mother to live with his new stepfather, Ronald. Tiffany gave birth to Daniel, who just made 12 years old, when she was 17. Tiffany's mother, Margarita, has since stepped up and helped the reality star care for Daniel and her daughter, Carley, who she had with Ronald in 2019.

Tiffany recently opened up about Daniel's father, Roger, who was tragically fatally shot in 2018 while trying to stop a fight at his place of work. In an Instagram tribute on the last anniversary of his death, Tiffany shared photos of Roger along with some sweet words. She wrote, "You left a part of me with you forever and we love you." It doesn't appear that Tiffany and Roger were a couple when he passed away, but they seem to have been on good terms. Tiffany went on to meet Ronald soon after Roger's death.

Tiffany was born on May 25, making her a Gemini. According to astrology, people born under the sign of Gemini are social and intelligent. They are always compiling facts from many different sources and using them to make rational decisions. Geminis love to talk and get to know new people but can sometimes show different faces depending on who they are around.

Even though Tiffany may have appeared to leap into her decision to move to South Africa, chances are, she thought through the decision again and again, in true Gemini form. She also spent a long time procuring information about Ronald and using it to help her form an opinion about him.
