90 Day Fiance: Birkan Finally Reveals The Reason Behind His Debt, Shocks Laura!

90 Day Fiance: Birkan Finally Reveals The Reason Behind His Debt — Shocks Laura!

In the latest 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days drama, Birkan opened up to Laura about how he racked up such a large debt — and his explanation left her visibly shocked, upset, and unsure about their future together. After weeks of mystery and concern, the long-hidden truth about his finances finally came out.

Here’s what happened:


💸 Birkan Reveals the Origin of His Debt

As the couple enjoyed a scenic day together, Laura seized the moment to ask a deeply personal question: Why is Birkan in such serious debt? In response, Birkan finally disclosed the real backstory behind his financial struggles.

He explained that years earlier — around 2019 and 2020 — he started his first small business, a shisha bar, and it seemed promising at first. Encouraged by initial success, he took out a bank loan to buy two more places. Things looked good… until the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Suddenly, the businesses collapsed, forcing him into bankruptcy. He ended up having to sell his house, his car, and all three of his business properties just to stay afloat.

After his businesses failed, Birkan said he struggled to find work — sometimes working long, low-pay jobs for as little as $40 for 24 hours of labor — and still couldn’t chip away at his debt. That desperation pushed him to take a different path.


🎰 Why Gambling Became Part of the Story

When Laura pressed further about how he intended to handle his debt, Birkan admitted he had started gambling frequently as a way to try to recover financially — a confession that blindsided Laura. Instead of a stable income source or job plan, he told her that gambling was his method for making money, something he didn’t want to share early on.

This admission came after Laura had already discovered that Birkan would speak privately with his friends in Turkish about his gambling habits — something he’d been avoiding telling her directly.

Laura was visibly distraught and upset after hearing Birkan’s full explanation. She told the cameras that she felt “angry, hurt, and shocked” — not just by the size of his debt, but by how long he kept the reality from her.

Her concerns quickly shifted from simply being worried about his finances to questioning his honesty and reliability as a future partner. She worried that his gambling — whether or not he admitted addiction — had played a part in how his debt grew, and that could continue into their life together, especially if she moved to the U.S. and became financially responsible for him.

Birkan tried to reassure her by saying he wouldn’t gamble with her money and that he didn’t consider himself addicted, but Laura remained skeptical.


🧨 What This Means for Their Relationship

This revelation marked one of the most serious turning points in Laura and Birkan’s 90 Day Fiancé arc so far:

  • Trust is shaken — because Birkan waited to share his full financial picture until Laura was emotionally invested.

  • Future plans feel uncertain — Laura fears being responsible for someone with potentially unstable finances and gambling habits.

  • Fans are reacting strongly, with many calling Birkan’s secret a major red flag and questioning whether Laura should continue the relationship.

This financial bombshell has turned what seemed like a romantic trip into a deeply complicated crossroads for the couple — and viewers are left wondering whether honesty, love, or doubt will win out next.
