There are some couples on 90 Day Fiancé who fans can’t help but root for. In Tim Malcolm’s case, it wasn’t his relationship with his girlfriend, Jeniffer Tarazona, that fans were hoping would go the distance, it was his union with his ex-girlfriend Veronica Rodriguez that people wanted to see blossom. Though Malcolm is no longer with Tarazona, he isn’t with Rodriguez, either. Malcolm now has a new girlfriend.

Tim Malcolm and Jeniffer Tarazona’s relationship

Malcolm and Tarazona appeared on season 3 of Before the 90 Days. During the season, Malcolm went to Colombia to visit his then-girlfriend. Throughout the season, Malcolm and Tarazona had trouble being intimate, mostly because Malcolm didn’t want to be intimate with Tarazona. At one point, the Colombian beauty asked Malcolm if he was gay.

“Jeniffer’s not the only one that’s said that,” Malcolm responded to Entertainment Tonight on the topic of his sexuality. “Let’s be honest. There’s a lot of people that have speculated that there’s all kinds of issues going on.” 

Malcolm went on to say that he was refraining from sex because he wanted it to be special.

“I’m almost 40 years old,” he told the outlet. “I want to be in love. I know sex is an important part of love, but it’s not everything like it used to be. My biggest goal was just building a foundation that I thought would be able to last because I don’t want to be divorced. I’ve waited this long to get married. I’ve never been married. I think that’s just strange that society just thinks if a man says no then he’s gay. If a woman says no, it’s fine. But it’s like the double standard that society has. I kind of laugh about it. I do have some feminine traits. The gay thing was kind of out of left field for me.”

On Malcolm’s season, fans also met Rodriguez, who he shares a child, Chloe, with. Rodriguez’s presence in Malcolm’s life created issues for him and Tarazona. Eventually, he and Tarazona broke up but fans noticed a spark between Malcolm and Rodriguez. When the former lovers began appearing on Pillow Talk together, fans doubled down on their hopes that Malcolm and Rodriguez would get back together.

Despite fan wishes, Malcolm and Rodriguez continued to keep their relationship platonic.

“A lot of people will comment that they hope Veronica and I get back together, and I always say the same thing — that ship has sailed!” Malcolm told Us Weekly. “Romantically we’re not a good fit, but we’re great friends and we are good parents to Chloe. That’s as much as we can ask for.

“If we got back together, I would be very surprised,” he continued. “Probably as surprised as everyone else. We were together for almost nine years. We gave it a good solid effort.”

Who is Tim Malcolm’s new girlfriend?

During a recent episode of 90 Day Bares All, Rodriguez and Malcolm both revealed that they are dating new people. Rodriguez is dating a man named Grant Glaser and Malcolm is dating a woman named Linda Ramirez. The most shocking thing about Malcolm’s new lover is that she is 17 years younger than him. Malcolm is on the cusp of turning 40, which means his new boo is either 22 or 23. Tarazona was also in her early twenties when the two appeared on Before the 90 Days, so it’s not out of the ordinary for Malcolm to be with a younger woman. Ramirez is also from Colombia and just moved to the United States a year and a half ago.
