Caution: The following discussion includes spoilers from the episode “Love Is Not Enough” of the show “90 Day Fiancé”. Viewers who wish to watch it should have a Max subscription, and do so at their own risk!
Stevi Savage and Mahdi Al-Saadi seemed like they might be the first couple to call it quits from 90 Day Fiancé Season 11, considering the latter was already asking about returning to Iran during his first night in the United States. Fortunately, he cooled down a bit before the next major hurdle in their journey to marriage: meeting Stevi’s family. Her father seemed like the bigger issue, as he’d only learned of Mahdi’s existence a couple of days prior.
When the Mississippian revealed to her father she was dating a man from Iran, his initial thoughts were negative, but not wholly unexpected. And that’s a big reason why I’ve been dreading this meeting for a while since I wasn’t wholly sure if Stevi’s dad was more upset about his daughter hiding her relationship, or that she was with someone from a country with historically complicated ties to the U.S. It all came to a head at Stevi’s parents’ house during dinner, and I’m still pleasantly surprised by what happened.

Stevi’s Father Had Concerns, But None Of His Questions Had To Do With Mahdi’s Cultural Background
I’m quite familiar with watching family members making stereotypical and borderline-racist comments on 90 Day Fiancé, so I was bracing myself for how dinner would go once Stevi’s father addressed her revelation that Mahdi is from Iran. While I think it’s more than fair to bring up cultural differences leading to romantic incompatibility (as we recently saw with Veah Netherton and Sunny Mahdi), things can quickly turn offensive when discussing religious differences and other societal topics.
Fortunately, Stevi’s father only wanted to know if 90 days was enough time for either to make a good decision about getting married. I would wager he’s not the first family member to ask that question, but based on the guidelines of the K1 visa, those are the rules that all couples must adhere to. Overall, I think his question was fair and respectful, and I’m thankful he didn’t cross any lines.
Will Cultural Concerns About Mahdi’s Life In Iran Become An Issue?
When 90 Day Fiancé cast members from the Middle East transition from well-accustomed lives to making a new life for themselves in the United States, it’s often been a struggle. Tigerlily and Adnan Abdelfattah have had arguments about clothing and other everyday details, for instance, and we’ve seen similar issues with other couples, like Nicole and Mahmoud Sherbiny.
As a dedicated “90 Day Fiancé” enthusiast, I can’t help but ponder about the legal aspects of one couple’s plans in Season 11. It seems there are question marks surrounding their approach, and as a fan, I find myself wondering if everything is above board.
While I can’t predict whether any obstacles might arise, it appears that Mahdi shows a strong affinity towards American culture compared to other individuals from Middle Eastern backgrounds we’ve seen on 90 Day Fiancé. It’s possible I could be mistaken, but it seems unlikely that Mahdi and Stevi will encounter the same difficulties that some couples with similar cultural backgrounds have faced.
The issue I perceive is that Mahdi might have to bid farewell to all of his family in Iran because, as he disclosed during the Season 11 premiere of 90 Day Fiancé, going to the United States could mean that he won’t be able to go back to Iran freely again.
Doing so could lead to his arrest, and in such a case, he may never be able to see his family or friends in-person again. He’s already weighing the trade off for a life with Stevi in the United States, but we’ll just have to wait and see if he decides it’s worth it or hop a flight back to Iran before it’s too late.
Drama like this makes 90 Day Fiancé one of the best shows on the 2025 TV schedule. Catch new episodes on TLC on Sundays at 8:00 p.m. ET, and stick with TopMob for more updates on these couples as Season 11 continues.
