90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 6 star Sheila Mangubat possibly has one of the most heartbreaking stories in franchise history. Sheila is the girlfriend of deaf man David Dangerfield. David, a resident of Omaha, Nebraska, met Sheila on a group for deaf singles online. Sheila is a 31-year-old single mom who got David’s heart beating as he fell for her on Facebook. She was born hearing but started having problems with her ears when she turned six years old.
Sheila damaged her ear while playing with a broomstick as a child. Since then, she uses hearing aids. Sheila has also been learning ASL to make communication easier with David who has been deaf since birth. The couple had been dating for two years through texting before he went to meet her in the Philippines on 90 Day Fiancé. David also revealed that he paid around $3,000 to Sheila in one year to help her with her devastated home. He may have had doubts about Sheila using him, but she has made viewers cry with her devastating backstory and the condition she lives in.
Sheila’s Ex-Boyfriend Left Her When She Became Pregnant
90 Day Fiancé star Sheila lives in Cebu, Philippines. Sheila’s son Jhonreil is 12 years old, and she is currently 32 years old. She met Jhonreil’s father when she was 16 or 17 years old. Sheila broke up with her baby daddy after she found out she was pregnant. She believed her ex-boyfriend was too young, and didn’t feel he could’ve supported their son anyway. Sheila and her son don’t have a lot, but they do the best they can with what they have.
Sheila’s House Was Destroyed By A Fire & Typhoon
Sheila’s house is located in the poorer parts of the city where she stays. There’s no running water, and Sheila has to fill buckets using a faraway water hand pump she carries home. The lanes to Sheila’s house are narrow and scary, and the homes are shanties in extreme poverty with sewage water running everywhere. It smells strongly of feces and urine. Sheila says her house is difficult to live in because of how small it is. Moreover, there was a fire in which most of their belongings were lost. The house was also struck by a typhoon and the entire roof was destroyed. Sheila has very limited electricity, but there’s a makeshift toilet inside the house.
Sheila’s Mom Died While Filming 90 Day Fiancé
The death of a loved one in Sheila’s family was revealed during a preview for 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 6, episode 9. Sheila’s mother Remedios died the next day after David went to meet her family and slept in the same house. When they woke up in the morning, Sheila’s mother fell near the stairs. The stairs weren’t nailed in properly and gave out. Sheila believes it was around five in the morning when it happened. They didn’t know because they were still asleep, and found her lying dead downstairs when they woke up.
