In the captivating world of reality television, few figures have captured hearts quite like Biniam Shibre, known to

fans of “90-Day Fiancé” and “90-Day Fiancé: The Last Resort.” From his adventurous early days to his tumultuous

experiences with love, custody battles, and personal growth, Biniam’s life is a tale of resilience and transformation.

Whether you’re a longtime admirer or a curious newcomer, his journey is worth exploring.

A Rocky Start and New Beginnings

Biniam first crossed paths with his future American wife, Ariela Weinberg, in his late 20s. Carrying emotional scars from a previous relationship with another foreign partner, he was apprehensive yet hopeful about this new romance. After just three months of dating, unexpected twists surfaced when Ariela became pregnant and had to return to the United States for prenatal care. This turn of events propelled their relationship into the spotlight as they later reunited in Ethiopia, marking their journey for fans on “90-Day Fiancé: The Other Way” Season 2. Here, they welcomed their son, Avi.

While Biniam and Ariela’s relationship began on a promising note, they soon faced significant challenges stemming from their different personalities and diverging priorities. Biniam grappled with trust issues, haunted by the fear that Ariela might abandon him like his ex-wife had. Meanwhile, Ariela struggled to fully trust Biniam due to his inconsistent communication and suspicious behavior. Despite these hurdles, the couple persevered and ultimately tied the knot during “90-Day Fiancé” Season 9.

Navigating Personal Challenges

However, marriage did not resolve the couple’s underlying issues, prompting them to seek help on “90-Day Fiancé: The Last Resort” Season 2. Their ongoing efforts to navigate the complexities of their relationship demonstrate their determination to foster a healthier bond while raising their son.

At 34 years old, Biniam—who celebrates his birthday on April 6—has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past six years. Once known for his carefree demeanor, he now approaches life with a heightened sense of responsibility, especially in his role as a father to Avi. His personal growth extends beyond parenting, also showing significant strides in his professional life as a mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter.

A Multifaceted Career

Before his rise to reality TV fame, Biniam showcased his talent in various endeavors, including dancing, choreography, and even work as a landscaper. His background as a skilled gymnast kept him in peak physical condition, allowing him to serve as a stunt performer in the live-action stage production “Marvel Universe Live” in the United States. Nevertheless, his most notable achievement thus far has been his success in MMA, where he boasts an impressive record of four wins and no losses.

Social Media and Career Ventures

Despite facing scrutiny for his participation in “90-Day The Last Resort,” where some speculated that his motives were more about social media control than marital resolution, Biniam has used his Instagram profile (which boasts over 363,000 followers) to connect with fans and promote his professional ventures. Utilizing platforms such as OnlyFans, Cameo, and Unfiltered D, he shows a keen understanding of diversifying his income streams while engaging with his audience.

The Ghosts of His Past

While Biniam navigates his current relationship with Ariela, the shadows of his past linger, particularly in relation to his ex-wife, Bria. Years before his foray into reality television, Biniam was devoted to building a life with Bria, welcoming their son, Simon. However, their relationship soured amid allegations of infidelity, resulting in Bria moving back to the United States with Simon, severing ties with Biniam entirely.

This separation has left Biniam with deep emotional scars. Though he expresses profound love for his eldest son, he does not have custody and sees Simon infrequently. In a heartfelt post shared in 2021, Biniam reminisced about Simon’s growth, stating, “I miss him every single day. I can’t wait to give him a hug and kiss.” He holds a strong hope that one day Simon might recognize him as his father.

Looking Ahead

As Biniam Shibre continues his journey, fans of “90-Day Fiancé: The Last Resort” are left hoping for a positive resolution to the father-son bond that remains uncertain. With his commitment to personal growth and professional success, Biniam’s story serves as a reminder of the complexities of love, responsibility, and the enduring strength of familial ties.
