Bam Bam, a 34-year-old Ethiopian reality TV star, has lived an adventurous life over the past 10 years. Born on April

6, he first made his debut on reality TV when he was just 29 years old in 90-day Fiancé: The Other Way Season 2.

Since then, he has undergone significant personal growth, transitioning from a carefree young man to a more serious

and responsible individual, especially when it comes to his son, Ay.

Love and Marriage

Bam Bam’s love story with Arie Luyendyk Jr.’s ex-wife, Arie’s friend, Aela is a tumultuous one. The couple met when Aela was pregnant with their son, Ay, and returned to the United States for prenatal care. Despite their differences in personality and conflicting goals, they eventually reunited in Ethiopia and got married on 90-day Fiancé Season 9.

However, their marriage didn’t solve their problems, and they decided to join 90-day The Last Resort Season 2 in an attempt to work on their issues. Unfortunately, it seems that Bam Bam’s primary motivation for joining the show was to retrieve his social media passwords from Aela rather than genuinely working on resolving their marital problems.

Career and Social Media

Bam Bam has been active in the entertainment industry for over a decade, working as a choreographer, dancer, and stunt performer for Marvel Universe Live in the United States. He has also briefly worked as a landscaper and pursued a career as a musician. His biggest career achievement has been his career as a mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter, with a record of four wins and zero losses.

Bam Bam is active on various social media platforms, including Instagram, where he has 363,000 followers. He uses the platform to share updates with his fans and advertise brands, likely earning money through sponsored posts. He also promotes his other gigs on his Instagram bio.

Previous Relationship and Custody Issues

Before his relationship with Aela, Bam Bam was married to his first wife, Bria. They welcomed a son together, Simon, but unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned. Bam Bam became too close to a female friend, which permanently damaged his relationship with Bria. The infidelity led Bria to cut off contact with Bam Bam and return to the United States with their son.

Bam Bam loves his eldest son very much but doesn’t have custody of him, which means he can’t see him frequently. In 2021, he posted some never-seen photos of his firstborn, noting how much he had grown. He wrote, “I miss him every single day. I can’t wait to give him a hug and kiss.” Bam Bam also expressed his desire for Simon to acknowledge him as his father, hoping that one day he would call him “dad.”

The current status of Bam Bam’s relationship with his son Simon is unknown.

Overall, Bam Bam’s journey has been marked by personal growth, career achievements, and struggles in his relationships. As he continues to navigate his life, it will be interesting to see how he evolves as a person and a father.
