90 Day Fiance: Vanja Grbic Shocked When Bozo Vrdoljak Calls Her Just a Friend

On 90 Day Fiance, Vanja Grbic made a valiant effort to catch her connecting flight. Even running in her super high heels. She missed the flight, but finally got in touch with her Croatian crush Bozo Vrdoljak. She’s relieved to speak with him since he’d been ignoring her texts and calls. Meanwhile in Croatia, Bozo Vrdoljak finds a plant in a dumpster and tells his mom and aunt he will be gifting it to Vanja when she arrives at the airport. The two women clutch each other and pray that she is the one to get him out of their apartment.

Bozo Vrdoljak seems a little apprehensive. He said talking to his mom about the fact that he’s unemployed had him nervous about meeting Vanja. But dumpster diving doesn’t bother him. He arrives at the airport and is excited to see Vanja. They hug for a long time, and she enjoys her recycled gift. Bozo has planned for them to go to a cooking class before Vanja Grbic checks into her rental. She is excited and Bozo admits she’s a little overwhelming.

At the cooking class, Vanja is thrilled with Bozo Vrdoljak’s culinary skills on 90 Day Fiance. But she’s shocked when he tells the others that they are just “nice friends” while noshing on spinach pastry. She questions him and he jokes around. But admits to production that he wants to be sure they have romantic chemistry. Later she’s a little disappointed when he chooses not to spend the night at her rental. So, off to a slow start for these two.

Before The 90 Days: Niles Valentine Does Damage Control

Niles Valentine finally worked up the courage to tell Matilda that he wanted to delay the wedding on 90 Day Fiance. Needless to say, it didn’t go over well. And Matilda stormed out of the club before she even touched her fruity cocktail. She cries in the production van and Niles tries to talk his way out of the trouble. He claims that he never agreed to a wedding on this first visit. But Matilda says that’s not true.

Production calls out Niles for not mentioning things sooner when Matilda was actively making wedding plans. Lucky for Niles, Matilda calms down and he agrees to go through with the first part of the marriage process, the knocking ceremony. She tearfully accepts this even though it’s culturally unheard of to wait that long. She asks that Niles Valentine be the one to tell her mother. He agrees to this, and the pair go have that drink after all.

She admits that she ignored his calls after a fight, and he checked into a hospital over it.

In spite of all the red flags, Tigerlily follows through on her trip to Turkey to meet up with her husband. She’s already stressed and then sees a steamy shower pic Adnan Abdelfattah posted on social media. She comments for him to delete it. He refuses stating that he’s a man so it’s ok.
