Caleb Greenwood was shocked to see Alina Kasha for the first time. His reaction has made 90 Day Fiancé fans think that Alina may have catfished him.
After watching the first few episodes of 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days season 5, many viewers think that Alina Kasha might have downplayed her disabilities because she didn’t want to lose Caleb Greenwood. The Russian native Alina and Arizona man Caleb recently debuted in the TLC series and have been showcasing their love story. The couple first found each other on social media and became great friends over the years. After losing contact for some time, the couple reconnected three years ago. Right now, new 90 Day Fiancé stars Caleb and Alina are together in Turkey to see if they can take their online relationship to the next level.
Alina has a rare condition called diastrophic dysplasia, and Caleb has never dated anyone with a disability. Unfortunately, the height difference made the couple’s first meeting seem more awkward than romantic. The 28-year-old reality star expressed that Alina looked shorter than he had imagined. He also appeared tired and annoyed by taking care of his girlfriend and her wheelchair. Many 90 Day Fiancé viewers were shocked to see Caleb brushing off Alina’s emotions after they reached the hotel. When the 27-year-old needed affection from her boyfriend, he gave her the cold shoulder.
Given how shocked Caleb looked after seeing Alina for the first time and the fact that his feelings for her changed so drastically, many 90 Day Fiancé fans believe that he may have been catfished. These viewers believe that Alina might have catfished Caleb and downplayed her medical condition to be liked by him. A fan said (via Reddit), “Alina’s pictures are borderline catfishing because they only show her from the waist up.” Another chimed in, “She downplayed the help and accommodations she would need because she didn’t want to scare him off.“
A few fans also argued that since the Russian singer and model Alina wasn’t completely honest about her disability, she was worried about how Caleb would react to it upon meeting her. A different 90 Day Fiancé fan mentioned, “She is desperate for love and attention and glossed over certain aspects of her life to attract Caleb.” It is possible that Alina wanted to impress Caleb, and that’s why she didn’t dwell on her condition. Instead, she potentially only shared the more glamorous parts of her life. Overall, a lot of people do that when pursuing a new love interest.
There is also a possibility that Caleb and Alina have communication issues. They have apparently been friends for the past 13 years, but Caleb didn’t know what Alina really looked like. It is confusing for viewers to see Caleb’s reaction because he didn’t have a clue how short Alina was. Did he not know what 3 feet tall meant, or did he never ask for her full body pictures or videos? Hopefully, the upcoming episodes of 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days will shed more light on whether Alina was catfishing or Caleb was just completely oblivious.
