90 Day Fiancé’s Tim Malcolm Reveals New “Wifey” Amid Gay Rumors: “I Love Her”

Fans of 90 Day Fiancé know Tim Malcolm as one of the franchise’s most outspoken and unique personalities, but lately, the TLC star has found himself at the center of a swirl of rumors about his love life and sexuality. Now, Tim is setting the record straight — and introducing the world to the woman he proudly calls his “wifey.”

The 44-year-old reality star, who first appeared on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days alongside Colombian fiancée Jeniffer Tarazona, has had a complicated romantic history on and off the show. His quirky personality, meticulous grooming habits, and self-admitted cautious approach to intimacy have often made him a target of speculation from both castmates and viewers. In recent years, these observations escalated into ongoing online rumors questioning his sexuality.

But during a candid new interview and a series of social media posts this week, Tim decided to address those whispers directly — while also sharing some very personal news. Posting a smiling photo of himself with a brunette beauty by his side, Tim captioned it: “Meet my wifey. She’s amazing, and I love her. This is the happiest I’ve been in a long time.”

The post quickly went viral in 90 Day Fiancé fan groups, with many surprised by the revelation. The woman in question, identified only as “Linda” for privacy reasons, is reportedly not a cast member from the TLC universe. According to Tim, the two met through mutual friends in Charlotte, North Carolina, several months ago and bonded over a shared love of travel, entrepreneurship, and sarcastic humor.

“I’m not someone who falls in love overnight,” Tim explained in the interview. “I’ve been through public relationships before, and they can get messy when everyone’s watching. But with Linda, it’s just different. She supports me, she makes me laugh, and she gets me — really gets me. That’s rare.”

Addressing the Rumors Head-On
For years, Tim has been the subject of internet chatter suggesting he might be gay or bisexual, fueled by his soft-spoken demeanor and the slow pace at which his relationships have progressed on camera. While Tim has previously brushed off these rumors with humor, he’s now speaking more openly about how they have affected him.

“People can be cruel,” he admitted. “When you’re on reality TV, your personal life becomes public property, and strangers feel entitled to make assumptions about you. I’ve been called every name in the book, and it gets old. I’ve always said — my sexuality is my business. But if anyone’s wondering, I’m straight. I’ve always dated women. I just take relationships seriously and don’t rush intimacy for TV ratings.”

Tim also emphasized that being a gentleman and having high standards doesn’t make someone less masculine. “There’s this stereotype that if a guy cares about his appearance or dresses well, that automatically means something about his sexuality. That’s nonsense. I like to look good, I like nice things, and I’m proud of that. It doesn’t define who I am romantically.”

A Fresh Start
This new relationship comes after Tim’s previous high-profile romances fizzled out. Following his split from Jeniffer Tarazona, Tim was rumored to be dating fellow 90 Day alum Veronica Rodriguez, but both have repeatedly confirmed they are just best friends and co-parents to Veronica’s daughter, Chloe, whom Tim helped raise.

With Linda, Tim says he’s approaching things differently — prioritizing privacy and genuine connection over public spectacle. “She’s not interested in fame,” he shared. “She’s got her own career, her own life. We’re just enjoying each other without the pressure of cameras or fan opinions.”

Fans React
Reaction from the 90 Day Fiancé fan base has been mixed but largely supportive. Many praised Tim for finally shutting down the rumors while others joked that they’ll miss speculating about his romantic life. One fan wrote, “Tim deserves happiness, and if she makes him smile like that, I’m here for it.” Another commented, “I hope TLC brings them on the show. We need to see ‘wifey’ in action!”

Looking Ahead
For now, Tim says he’s focused on balancing his personal life with his business ventures, which include a successful custom gun-making company and various side projects in the collectibles world. He hasn’t ruled out returning to the 90 Day Fiancé franchise but admits it would have to be under the right circumstances.

“I’ll never say never,” Tim said with a grin. “But I’ve learned that real love doesn’t need a reality TV spotlight to be real. Linda is my partner, my wifey, and I’m proud of it. That’s all anyone needs to know.”

Whether fans call him “Sharp-Dressed Tim,” “Pillow Talk Tim,” or “90 Day’s Most Mysterious Man,” one thing is clear — Tim Malcolm is done letting the rumor mill define his story. This time, he’s writing it himself, and it begins with three simple words: I love her.
