One photo, one simple question — “What’s the very first thing that comes to mind when you think about him?” — and 141 comments later, fans in the 90 Day Fiancé Live group had split cleanly in two over Tim Malcolm’s face. Half the thread rushed in to praise him. The other half zoomed straight in on his look and did not hold back.
The Photo That Split the Group
The post itself could not have been simpler: a close-up of Tim and an invitation to say the first thing that came to mind. Fans are saying the compliments landed fast — “handsome,” “loyal,” “honest,” and plenty of “I love Tim.” But right alongside them came the other camp. Fans are saying “a lot of work has gone into that” face and warning that he will keep doing more. Others called the look “weird,” said he was “better without eyeliner,” and one fan even compared him to singer Adam Lambert. Same photo, two completely different men, depending on who was looking.
Why Tim’s Look Has Always Been Part of the Story
Tim has been a franchise fixture since Season 3 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, when he traveled to Colombia for Jeniffer Tarazona. That relationship did not last, but Tim never left viewers’ screens. Before Jeniffer, he dated Veronica Rodriguez for nearly a decade; they never married, yet stayed close friends, and he remains a father figure to her daughter, Chloe. Together they became one of the most beloved duos on Pillow Talk. Through all of it, his sharply groomed style — sculpted hair, defined brows, polished finish — has been part of his brand from day one, which is exactly why fans notice every change.
Team Glow-Up: ‘Handsome, Loyal, Honest’
The defense argues this is simply a man who takes care of himself — and always has. Supporters point out that Tim looked meticulous back in his Before the 90 Days days too, so calling the current look a sudden transformation ignores his whole history on TV. Fans in this camp say the loyalty matters more anyway: this is the friend who showed up for Veronica and Chloe for years, the Pillow Talk commentator fans trust to say the honest thing. To them, the polished face is confidence, not a problem.
Team Too Much: ‘A Lot of Work Has Gone Into That’
The critics are talking about his face, and fans are speculating loudly about what might be behind it. So here is what is actually known. According to TV Season & Spoilers, reporting in July 2025 on a clip shared via a Reddit screenshot, Tim himself said he had spent over $150,000 on his face to “fix” it and keep it working — while also saying he had no plastic surgery. Everything beyond that is fan guessing: viewers have speculated about dental work, skin treatments, microblading and permanent eyeliner, but Tim has not confirmed any list of procedures, and none of those specific claims are verified. The “too much” camp says that whatever the details, the result now distracts from the man they used to watch.
Where Tim Stands as Hunt for Love Rolls On
Tim is not in the Season 2 cast now airing Monday nights — he is the Season 1 face fans keep pulling back into the conversation. He left the Tulum resort single in 2025, asked newcomer Elise Benson out at the Tell All, and, according to reports, that date never happened. He has stayed busy with social content, often alongside his self-described “work wife” Tiffany Franco. He is not even on the current season — and his photo still starts a 141-comment fight.
