90 Day Fiance’s Justin and Nikki Exotic’s age gap

According to People, Justin is 36 years old, meaning he was born in 1987. Nikki is age 47 and she was born on January 27, 1976, meaning they have an 11-year age gap.

Everipedia, however, states that Exotica’s birthday is January 27, 1982, which would make her 41 years old, instead. The report writes that Nikki was “conceived in 1982”, so it is possible that it is referring to the date Nicole Sanders created her stage name, or perhaps when Jason Torres – Sanders’ birth name – transitioned into Nikki Exotica.

With media reports claiming that the couple met “nearly two decades” ago, fans are raising questions over their exact ages during the start of the romance.

“So Justin was 16, two decades ago and Nikki was 27. It says ‘nearly’ two decades…so I’m hoping at least two years later so that Justin is 18, and then Nikki is 29?” a Reddit user commented.

At the time of meeting, Justin was 18 years old when he fell for 29-year-old Nikki. They didn’t care about the age difference and celebrated their first engagement in 2006. They even filed for a K-1 visa and reunited in the US.

Justin says Nikki looks like a trans adult actress

The latest season 10 episode shows Justin and Nikki in Moldova and while the former should be ecstatic to show Nikki around his country, he is concerned for her safety given her trans identity and glamorous style.

“Are you afraid of taking me out in public at night because you’re scared that they’re going to judge me on the way that I look or they’re gonna be able to tell that I used to be a man?” Sanders asked.

“I think it’s about your clothes styling,” Justin replied before claiming that she looks like an adult actress.

“Ok, well then that’s better than a man or a trans,” Nicole continued.

The personal trainer went on to explain that Moldovans are less likely to accept the transgender community. “And the first thing I’m worrying about her safety,” Justin clarified.

Nikki revealed her true identity two years in the relationship

So why did Nikki and Justin never tie the knot back in 2006? Well, it came down to one heated argument that led to Sanders blurting out her trans identity, leaving Justin in shock.

“In one of the arguments, I said, ‘Yeah well, I have a secret to tell you. I used to be a man.’ And he freaked,” Exotica recalled to a friend.

She admitted: “I traumatized him. He went home and he was depressed for a really long time. And I felt bad about that.”

Nicole, a singer and social media star, was 20 years old when she underwent the sex change surgery. Unlike the present day, Nikki lived in “stealth”, meaning she kept her transition a secret from others and did not have any gay or transgender friends.
