- Advertisement -
90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days star Brian Muniz lied to Ingrid about more than just his age or how he became a quadriplegic. Brian is a 51-year-old man from Harvard, Illinois. He was approaching his 25th anniversary of being in a wheelchair when he filmed season 7. Brian was a professional rugby player and later became a coach in Brazil. It’s where he met his current girlfriend Ingrid, a single mom living in Gurupi. Ingrid is almost half of Brian’s age at 32 and most of Brian’s exes had been younger than him.
Tocantins resident Ingrid has a two-year-old son named Arthur and a 12-year-old son, Italo. Ingrid and Italo’s dad divorced when Ingrid was 25. She met Arthur’s father a few years later when she got pregnant. Arthur’s father left Ingrid when she was two months pregnant. She became unemployed during the pandemic, revealing Ingrid had lived a hard life and seemed to think she could go live in the U.S. with her boyfriend. Ingrid was looking for a man who cared for her and her children. Poor Ingrid didn’t know all the secrets Brian had kept from her.
How Did Brian Meet Ingrid?
Brian Had Been Married & Engaged To Multiple Brazilian Women In The Past
Brian thought to himself that when he was injured, he had a new birth. He started to look for ways to be active as he adjusted to his wheelchair. He was introduced to wheelchair rugby and started playing internationally for four years. Brian made it to the USA team and even got to travel to 10 different countries, including India, Argentina, Denmark and Switzerland. He ended up going to Brazil, where he fell in love with the country. He played in Brazil for several years and took on a coaching role. He soon became fluent in Portuguese.
Brian found it much easier to meet and date people in Brazil than he did in the U.S. In his experience, the attitude that American women had towards men like him in wheelchairs was like “they’re just like last resort.” However, Brain realized that Brazilian women were much more open to disability. Brian met Ingrid in Brazil. The 32-year-old old and Brian had been talking for over two years. They talked daily and “just hit it off right away.” Brian liked how funny, caring, and gorgeous Ingrid was. He also mentioned that Ingrid was “blonde” and “curvy.”
Brian Is Mostly Involved With Women The Same Age As His Daughter
Brian revealed that he had been in several relationships in Brazil. After a few devastating breakups and even a failed marriage, he started thinking that maybe real love was not on the cards for him. He thought that things were going to be different when he met Ingrid. He wondered if he had chosen wrong in the past because his bond with Ingrid felt “totally different.” Brian thought there was “definitely” a chance that Ingrid could be the one. “I want her to be the one,” he added. Brian did not want to live without Ingrid.
“Ingrid obviously knows that I’m in a wheelchair, but she doesn’t know details.”
Brian had not told Ingrid the details of what he had to do every morning while getting ready from the “bathroom stuff” to the “sexual stuff.” It was starting to look like Brian also had not told Ingrid that he had been married four times before he met her. It was not his first time going to Brazil for love. His relationship history was “pretty tumultuous” Three of Brian’s wives had been American and one of his wives was Brazilian.

Brian Did Not Tell Ingrid About How He Became Quadriplegic
Ingrid Felt Scared About What Else Brian Had Hidden From Her
Brian’s family didn’t approve of him being a drug dealer. He couldn’t say no because he was making a lot of money. However, Brian looked into the mirror and saw that he looked like a zombie. He wanted a fresh start and told his ex-wife he didn’t love her anymore. As per Brian, his second ex-wife confessed that she had ordered the carjacking which led to him being wheelchair bound. Brian had not told Ingrid about the incident. She thought Brian couldn’t walk because of an accident. Ingrid was worried about Brian having lived a life surrounded by criminals.

She was told not to get involved with drug addicts while growing up. Ingrid felt deceived because Brian even lied to her about his age. Ingrid was certain that Brian had told her he was 42 when they’d met, which made him 45 two years later. However, Brian insisted he was 51 years old and that there must have been some miscommunication.
Brian Is Still Married To His Fourth Wife Francielly

Brian married Francielly in 2022, but they faced difficulties when they started living together in Brazil. It may have been because of Brian’s unfaithful ways.
