There has been some confusion about how 90 Day Fiancé star Amani Jlassi pronounces her name, with many viewers also curious about its meaning and her background. Amani stars in 90 Day Fiancé season 11 alongside her partner, Matt. The couple lives in San Diego with their two daughters, Delilah and Sarah. Amani is openly bisexual, and it was her idea to pursue a throuple relationship after she met Any Aguirre, a stripper, at a club in Mexico. Amani fell in love with Any, and Matt agreed to make Any his girlfriend as well.
On the show, Amani and Matt are in Mexico to get to know Any better before proposing to her. The plan is for Any to move to America after Amani and Matt divorce, allowing one of them to sponsor her on a K-1 visa. However, with each new episode, more cracks in the throuple’s relationship are revealed. Any’s behavior suggests she may not be in love with either of them and could be using the situation for financial gain. She has also hidden key details, including her real name, Brenda. However, it’s not just her name that has fans worried.
Amani’s Name Is Creating Confusion Online Thanks To Matt
Is Amani Using A Fake Name On 90 Day Fiancé?
Reddit user Beee2Flyyy recently shared a post asking, “Amani? Amini? Seriously… wtf is it??” In the post, the fan questioned Amani’s actual name after watching a scene featuring a conversation between Matt and his friend. During the conversation, Matt referred to Amani by two different names. The fan mentioned they had been confused since the beginning, but that scene made their “head explode.” They also asked if Matt had explained it during their introduction episode.
“I CANNOT be the only one going through this.”
Meanwhile, one person noticed Matt had called Amani “Any” in one of the older episodes. According to the fan, Matt said something like, “Any and I have been together 10 years,” when he meant to say Amani. Another wrote that they were “very excited” to know they weren’t the only person being “driven absolutely crazy” by a husband mispronouncing his wife’s name. Some viewers also speculated that Amani might be a fake name, similar to how Chantal Everett’s real name is reportedly “CeAir,” or how Jorge Nava allegedly used the name “Andrew Lopez” on Facebook.

Amani Introduces Herself All Over Again
Amani decided to take matters into her own hands by posting a video explaining how to pronounce her name. She introduced herself, saying, “My name is Amani, and it’s actually pronounced Ah-men-ni.” She explained her name means “wishes” in Arabic. Amani shared how she was born and raised in Tunisia, the smallest country in North Africa. She also revealed that she turns 30 this year, calling it a “big number,” and added that she is a Libra.

Amani’s Name Has Arabic Roots
Amani Was Raised Muslim & She’s From Tunisia
Amani is Middle Eastern with “a little bit” of Italian heritage. “I’m Arab,” she proudly declared. She speaks four languages: Arabic, French, English, and a little German. Her mother and grandmother were born in Germany and lived there for years. However, Amani was bron in Tunisia but left when she was 18. According to her, Tunisia was a male-dominated society with strong religious influences. As a woman, her options were limited to becoming a teacher or a homemaker. Amani knew she wanted more, dreaming of a better life, not just for herself, but for her future family.
Amani is proud of where she comes from and who she has become today. She is grateful to have accomplished everything she wanted in life at such a young age. Amani lives in the Mount Helix neighborhood of California and has shared that she is the youngest homeowner in her area. There’s a reason she calls herself a “boss babe” on 90 Day Fiancé. She is a self-made immigrant who built a successful career in tech sales. With over 10 years of experience, Amani has closed deals worth millions of dollars.
90 Day Fiancé airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EDT on TLC.
