Season 12 of ’90 Day Fiancé’ captures the unpredictable realities of international love stories, much as previous seasons did. It introduced seven new couples to the audience, among whom were Mallorie and Rașit Kebabcı. By the time the former appeared on the show, she was 29 years old and described as a woman with free-spirited southern charm from Athens, Alabama. On the other hand, her 29-year-old partner from Marmaris, Turkey, leads a laid-back lifestyle. Their love story began in a modern way, with their one-night stand unexpectedly blossoming into a meaningful connection. It was soon followed by complications as differences in finances and culture tested the strength of their bond, forcing them to work on how they could bridge the gap.
Mallorie and Rașit Found Love After an Unexpected Vacation Encounter
Mallorie was on a girls’ trip to Greece when she first crossed paths with Rașit Kebabcı. Their undeniable bond brought them closer, leading to a one-night stand. Initially, she didn’t intend for the connection to go beyond a one-night stand, but everything changed when he surprised her with a heartfelt proposal shortly after. Caught between fear and excitement, Mallorie ultimately said yes, marking the beginning of a new emotional chapter. Soon, the couple faced a major obstacle as Rașit struggled to come to her home country. When he finally got the chance, Mallorie couldn’t wait any longer and went to Turkey to bring him to Alabama herself. Once he arrived in the US, he found it difficult to connect with her outspoken friends while also trying to adapt to life in a completely unfamiliar country.
When Rașit asked Mallorie for financial help to support his parents in Turkey, the strain became more visible. As their conversation about their marriage progressed, they spoke about getting a prenup and starting a family of their own. However, their vastly different perspectives on those topics began to pull them apart. All of those factors made Mallorie wonder if they were making a massive mistake. Still, relationships are rarely simple, especially when two people from completely separate worlds try to overcome hurdles. Although Mallorie and Rașit have remained quiet about the current status of their relationship, there is a possibility that they have managed to grow stronger together.
Mallorie Balances Her Medical Coding Career With Fun-Filled Adventures
Before appearing on the show, Mallorie was steadily building a life of her own through hard work and determination. Her educational journey began at Greencastle-Antrim High School, where she completed her initial education. She then pursued higher studies and graduated from Hagerstown Community College, helping her prepare for her professional trajectory. In September 2023, Mallorie achieved a major milestone when she became a Certified Medical Coder at Bone and Joint Institute of Tennessee. Since then, she has continued working in the said administrative medical position. Currently residing in Athens, Alabama, Mallorie has largely kept further details about her professional life under wraps.
Outside of work, Mallorie deeply loves travel and adventure, which led her to explore the breathtaking beauty of Santorini in September 2023. She had also jetted off to Turkey on multiple occasions for the love of her life. The 29-year-old considers her close-knit circle of friends one of the biggest pillars of support in her life. She cherishes the bond they share and loves making lifelong memories alongside them, whether through hunting trips or lively parties. Besides that, Mallorie dedicates a significant portion of her life to her beloved pups. However, she was left heartbroken when one of them sadly passed away around July 2019. Fortunately, another of her furry friends has continued to provide her with comfort and emotional solace during difficult moments.
Rașit Continues Exploring New Adventures While Growing His Online Presence
Long before Rașit made his debut on the show, his journey had been shaped by the sea. Working as a boat captain, he earned his livelihood by navigating the open waters. It was a profession that reflected his adventurous, free-spirited personality, and he considered it living his dream. By the time Rașit arrived in Alabama in July 2025, he had announced on his Facebook page that he was excited to embark on a new creative journey. That growing online presence eventually helped him attract more than 22.6K followers on Instagram, where he occasionally shares glimpses into his personal adventures and everyday life.
Besides his professional accomplishments, Rașit appears to thrive on experiences that keep him connected to nature. He enjoys exploring different restaurants whenever he gets the chance, often trying new cuisines. He further loves spending quality time with friends, whether by playing pool or simply enjoying lively nights together. Beyond everything, the 29-year-old keeps adventure at the core of his personality. He frequently immerses himself in adrenaline-filled activities, willing to push himself outside his comfort zone. In October 2024, Rașit even took part in bungee jumping.

Mallorie and Rașit Are Likely Keeping the Status of Their Relationship Private
After arriving in Mallorie’s homeland, Rașit became eager to embrace every new experience that came his way. In August 2025, he spent time exploring the beautiful beaches of Panama City, but it is essential to note that none of his pictures from that trip featured his partner. As the months passed, he seemed to get a taste of the rural lifestyle in Alabama by September 2025 and shared a picture of himself wearing a cowboy hat on Facebook. It prompted Mallorie to playfully call him “Turkish Cowboy.” Furthermore, the couple still follows each other on Instagram.
Moreover, in March 2026, Mallorie shared a sneak peek of them together from the show and continued referring to themselves as “we,” suggesting they are still connected. Two months later, when a viewer called her and Rașit their “favorite couple,” she proudly expressed her gratitude by replying, “Thank you.” However, the pair has become more private about their relationship. While they no longer regularly post pictures together on social media, we sincerely hope they are nurturing their bond away from the limelight and have taken steps toward their shared future through their union.
