90 Day Fiance: Why Did Lisa & Her Ex-Wife Split?
In the midst of all this chaos, Lisa’s ex-wife revealed what exactly caused her and Lisa’s relationship to end. She told CutToThe Drama that the two were just “not good together.” She said the turning point came when she bought Lisa tickets to a P!nk concert so she could attend with her daughter, Faith. Lisa allegedly went to the concert with another woman instead. According to her ex-wife, Lisa “knows how to manipulate and talk to people.”
She admitted that she wasn’t perfect either, though, and confessed that she hadn’t been the ideal companion. The drama didn’t end there. The ex-wife clearly denied Lisa’s previous accusations that she had cheated on her. At the same time, both ladies have accused each other of abuse during their relationship.
Before the 90 Days Season 9, Episode 13, Lisa revealed a long-kept secret to Daniel. She also revealed that she had previously dated a woman and that he was the first man in over 20 years. The mystery didn’t last long, even though Lisa decided not to share anything more about that relationship on the show.

Her ex-wife, Shirley, came forward shortly after the show aired and decided to come forward publicly and tell her side of the story. During a TikTok stream with CutToThe Drama, Shirley, who works as a chef, shared a number of shocking facts about their past. She said she and Lisa had been together for roughly 17 years and had been married for 10 of those years. She also stated that Lisa’s past relationships were far more complex than many fans were expecting.
Another complication to their relationship timeline is that Lisa apparently married and divorced another woman during the years they were together. Shirley also talked about the start of their relationship. She said that Lisa contacted her through an unexpected online email, which eventually ended up in a face-to-face meeting and the beginning of the romantic connection.
Shirley also mentioned that for months, she didn’t know Lisa had been married to her third husband, Michael, when their relationship began. She has now officially closed the chapter, despite the years of ups and downs. Shirley confirmed that their divorce was finalized on December 30, 2025.
She added that she had a stroke during that period, which is why the process took longer than expected. Surprisingly, Shirley said she was unaware that Lisa was already seeing Daniel in Nigeria while the divorce was still in progress.
