Summary
Wayne Cornish from 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 5 has been facing severe financial challenges. Wayne, a 40-year-old from Johannesburg, stars in the 90 Day Fiancé spin-off with 44-year-old Holly Weeks. After meeting on a religious website, Holly flew to South Africa, where she got engaged to Wayne three days after meeting him. Holly’s family and friends raised their eyebrows when she told them about her decision to move to South Africa. She took her mom, Judy, with her for the couple’s wedding, which took place a week after Holly went there.
Holly didn’t feel safe staying with Wayne. Wayne’s house had been broken into more than once, and the intruders even killed his dog while doing it. Holly expressed a desire to move into a gated community. Wayne didn’t agree because it was going to be a huge financial burden on him. Wayne has now revealed the real reason why he can’t afford a new house for his wife. Holly is wondering if Wayne would be a good husband to her and if he doesn’t know how to handle money properly.
Wayne Lost One Of His Biggest Plumbing Contracts
Wayne works as a plumber for a living and has his own plumbing business. Wayne revealed that when Holly came to South Africa to meet him for the first time, she saw that his business was flourishing and she was impressed. However, shortly after, Wayne lost one of the biggest contracts he had, as they used to give Wayne eight to nine jobs a day. Holly knew that this had happened, but Wayne was not completely honest about how much he was affected by this loss. Holly wanted to look at a house priced at 4 million South African rand, which equates to about USD 211,000.
Wayne Has Pumped 40K Into Crypto
Wayne did not have any savings because he was not planning on buying a house for Holly so soon. He admitted that he would have been able to provide for Holly, but that was before he lost his contracts. “I’ve pumped about 40k into this – into crypto,” Wayne admitted. He had done it, keeping his future with Holly in mind. However, things didn’t go as planned for Wayne as the money was supposed to be for his honeymoon with Holly.
Wayne’s Business Makes Only Half The Profit Now
In the latest episode of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 5, Wayne admitted that his business hadn’t been going well. While he wasn’t in a lot of debt, his business wasn’t as profitable as it used to be. Wayne had taken out a business loan that had been backward on payment. His losing everything made Wayne feel like “less of a man,” especially since he would have to support himself and Holly now that they were getting married. Wayne promised Holly that he would work three jobs if he could. However, he decided to keep his financial issues a secret as he thought Holly wouldn’t come to South Africa.
90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on TLC.
