90 Day: The Single Life star Tim Malcolm has decided to put an end to all rumors about him being gay. Tim is a 43-year-old man from Charlotte, North Carolina, who fans have been familiar with since his debut in 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 3. Tim was in a relationship with Colombian model Jeniffer Tarazona when he started his journey, and it could have been the comments Jeniffer made that sparked an interest in Tim’s sexuality. Tim did not have a physical relationship with Jeniffer on the show.
Tim also enjoyed dressing up nicely and wearing eyeliner or fashionable accessories, which launched rumors about his behavior. The audience wanted to know if Tim was gay or transgender. Moreover, Jeniffer embarrassed him on screen by continuously insulting him and declaring he wasn’t manly enough. Tim maintained that he is someone who wants to be in love with his partner before having sex. Meanwhile, Tim’s close friendship with Kenneth Niedermeier also raised eyebrows. Armando Rubio recently jokingly asked Tim if he had something going on with Kenny since he called him "Daddy."
