90 Day Fiancé star Mahdi's growing doubts about Stevi's past and s*xuality

Mahdi describes the discovery of paintings and the concern about Claire

During their conversation, Mahdi explained that the issue began when he noticed Stevi’s paintings.

“Like when I got in our house, I saw so many like naked paintings of girls. And I was okay with it until the other day I found out that she did it like in person,” he told Saeed.

What added to the tension was that the woman in question was someone Stevi remained close to. Mahdi explained that the woman in the painting was Stevi’s friend, Claire, who would also be attending their joint bachelor's and bachelorette's party. He admitted that he could not stop imagining the scene.

“My brain is just like visualizing everything that she's topless in front of my wife and I'm not comfortable,” he shared, indicating how the situation continued to bother him.

Saeed responds to Mahdi’s suspicions about Stevi’s s*xuality

The 90 Day Fiancé star then took the conversation further by expressing an internal suspicion.

“All right, so this is something that I just want you to just keep in between us... I have a feeling that she's interested in the same s*x also. And it's just a feeling.”

Though Mahdi emphasized that he could not confirm anything, the idea created an additional layer of concern for him. Saeed responded by pointing out how different values shape reactions to this kind of topic.

He noted that in their cultural background, it is considered “taboo,” which added a different perspective to the conversation. Saeed also raised concerns about what could happen after the marriage.

“What if after you get married you just find out more about her past... More about what she likes or doesn't like that bothers you.”

Mahdi feels Saeed understands his experience

Mahdi’s sense of being misunderstood was addressed during his talk with Saeed. In a 90 Day Fiancé confessional, he explained how he met Saeed through social media and teaching English, and why he trusted him.

“My family, Stevi, none of them can understand my situation, but Saeed can...We share the same background, same culture, and same country,” he stated.

Reflecting on their conversation, Mahdi explained that Saeed had validated his feelings, saying that his thoughts were confirmed. Feeling reassured, he repeated that the situation was overwhelming and stated that he knew Saeed would feel the same way. Mahdi expressed that his thoughts were overwhelming, saying there was "so much" for him to process and figure out.

Despite the conflict, Mahdi still expressed his strong feelings for Stevi, stating that he "just knows" how much he loves her. However, Saeed offered a cautious note.

“I’m not sure how long love can justify all the terrible feelings you’re having. And I’m worried about you,” Saeed said.

As the wedding draws closer, Mahdi's concerns remain unresolved.
