’90 Day Fiancé’s Tim Malcolm & Paola Mayfield’s Connection, Explained
The 90 Day: The Last Resort Season 3 Tell All preview left viewers with one massive question: What happened between Tim Malcolm and Paola Mayfield? (Trust us, we’re dying for this answer as much as you are.)
Let’s break it down: During the preview, host Ross Mathews reveals, “Another issue that Russ and Paola needed to address was someone crossing boundaries with Pao.” After that, the returning host welcomed Tim, who most recently starred on 90 Day: Hunt for Love Season 1, to the stage, as Russ fired back, “He’s not welcome.” He then asked Tim, “What are you doing? Are you here to apologize?”
Scroll to find out everything we know so far about Paola and Tim’s alleged connection, how the duo has been connected in the past, and more.
Who is Tim Malcolm?
Tim has been a staple in the 90 Day Fiancé universe for years. He joined the franchise in 2019, when he starred on Season 3 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days with his then-girlfriend, Jeniffer Tarazona. After his split from Jen, he appeared on Seasons 3 and 4 of 90 Day: The Single Life before heading to the beach for 90 Day: Hunt for Love Season 1. There, he connected with multiple stars, including Elise Benson, but left alone. He’s most often connected to his 90 Day bestie, Tiffany Franco, who was also on the season.

What happened between Tim and Paola?
Right now, it’s not too clear what happened between Tim and Paola. We’ll have to wait until the Tell All airs for that! But here’s what we found out during the trailer: According to Tim, Paola and Russ’ relationship was “done” when he met Paola. During that time, he claims, “We just f**ked around.” It’s unclear whether this happened before or after Russ and Paola recommitted. Either way, Russ knows about it and clearly isn’t thrilled.
How did Tim and Paola meet?
In January 2o24, Tim admitted to having a bit of a crush on Paola during an interview with InTouch. “I don’t want to just pick one,” he responded when asked about a franchise crush. “I would say I’ve never got to meet her in person, but I think it’s Paola [Mayfield]. She’s wrestling now. She is intriguing to me.” As a fan of wrestling, Tim was later spotted with Paola at multiple TNA wrestling matches.
