Hailing from Las Vegas, with an unglamorous job as a drag assistant, Allen seems to turn his girlfriend Faith’s world upside down—permanently.

Now, here’s the kicker: his relationship red flags are popping up like confetti at a party. Suddenly, having only $46 to his name and being homeless isn’t even the biggest red flag in his love story with Faith. By the age of seven or eight, he realized he was drawn to trans women, despite his family’s hopes for a more conventional path. He even dated women to appease them. 

Loren Allen’s Love Story Shows More Than Just Money Issues

Allen’s quest for love has been anything but smooth sailing. After tying the knot once, he realized that genuine happiness came when he fully accepted his attraction to trans women. By the ripe age of seven or eight, he knew his heart was pointing him in a different direction, despite his family’s wishes for him to walk a more conventional path. In a classic case of trying to fit in, he even dated women to keep the peace.

Finding someone special was like searching for a needle in a haystack—until he met Faith. After downloading a couple of Filipino dating apps, Allen quickly connected with the 30-year-old, who calls herself a “ladyboy.” Their conversations were quick, and by the end of the day, they were already throwing around the “I love yous.” 

Loren Allen’s Tumultuous Journey in 90 Day Fiancé

Loren Allen decided he wanted to make Faith, his wife after just four months of chatting—but hold your horses! He also had a penchant for open relationships, a little detail he conveniently left out. After all, nobody wants to scare off a potential spouse, right? He feared that being upfront would send Faith running for the hills.

Meanwhile, Faith juggles multiple roles as the officer in charge of housekeeping at a hotel, all while moonlighting as a magician, makeup artist, and puppeteer. Her stable job allowed her to send money back home, and she was eager to leap at the chance to move to the U.S. if Allen extended the invitation. After all, she believed America was the land of opportunity—and she was ready to seize the moment.

But she was blissfully unaware of the financial storm brewing. Allen, who had just $46 to his name upon arriving in the Philippines, struggled to pay rent and was juggling minimum-wage jobs at drag shows, retail backrooms, and gift shops.

But his financial woes are certainly alarming, but they pale in comparison to the deeper issues brewing beneath the surface. According to Allen, he’s put his thinking cap on and devised a foolproof plan to snag a computer job stateside and work remotely from abroad. 

With a sprinkle of IT training, he believes he can handle phone calls and bring in enough dough to support himself and his girlfriend, Faith. Well, Allen has some colorful ideas on how to pad his resume. He’s tossing around options like pest control, flipping burgers, or even truck driving. However, he’s been warned that finding work as a foreigner might be tricky.

While Allen is busy daydreaming about his grand escape, the reality of his financial situation is as murky as a swamp. He’s juggling these ambitious plans while trying to keep a straight face. Can he really pull this off, or is he just blowing smoke?

They’ve had a heart-to-heart about the money situation and decided to tackle it as a team. Will Faith adapt to the unpredictable chaos of Allen’s life, or will the financial woes and unspoken truths send them spiraling?
