90 Day Fiancé Star Chloe Fabiano Reveals Bizarre Ex-Boyfriend Backstory Behind Her “Mean” Facial Expressions
A Fresh Start Leads to Unfiltered Revelations
When reality TV fans first met Chloe Fabiano, her distinctive, seemingly stern facial expressions instantly became a talking point among viewers and castmates alike. Returning to screens for Season 2 of 90 Day: Hunt for Love, the franchise star made it clear from the very beginning that her mission went beyond simply searching for romantic chemistry. During the season premiere’s group relationship workshop, Fabiano set out to tackle the elephant in the room head-on: why her natural resting expression often gives off a cold or unwelcoming impression.
In a candid moment captured during the workshop—and subsequently highlighted in fan clips circulating on social media via @omfgrealitytv on Instagram—fellow cast member Razvan probed Fabiano about her past romantic history and what her previous partners thought of her demeanour. Fabiano did not hold back in her response, admitting that an ex-boyfriend had openly labeled her as unstable and told her that her facial expressions made her look mean.
Blaming an Island Heartbreak for Her Unfriendly Exterior
The workshop took a hilarious and completely unexpected turn when Fabiano elaborated on the root cause of her scowl. She confessed to the group that her current facial disposition traces back to a tumultuous past relationship where she relocated to an island and dated a man who turned out to be a serial cheater—and who happened to be a pirate. She candidly explained that the betrayal and stress from that wild romance directly shaped her hardened expression, jokingly attributing her seemingly intense look to the lingering fallout of that failed fling.
The bizarre confession broke the room’s tension and quickly dissolved into collective laughter. Spotting Razvan wearing a pirate hat during the exercise, Fabiano playfully teased him about his resemblance to a pirate, prompting a warm response and a friendly embrace from Razvan as the entire cast enjoyed the comedic moment.
Clearing the Air Without Romantic Intentions
Taking advantage of a second impression exercise later in the session, Fabiano chose Razvan for a one-on-one conversation to further clarify their earlier dynamic. Razvan admitted to feeling initial confusion when she pulled him aside, explaining that her serious facial expressions frequently contradicted her spoken words, making it tricky for him to gauge her genuine thoughts. He made sure to reassure her that he held no ill feelings, but simply struggled to align her visual cues with her actual communication style.
By the end of their chat, Fabiano felt confident that she had successfully shifted Razvan’s perception of her. However, she emphasized that the interaction was strictly platonic, confirming she had no intentions of pursuing a romantic relationship with him. For Fabiano, the entire exercise was never about securing a date—it was about proving to the single cast members that a stern exterior doesn’t always reflect how she feels on the inside.
While first impressions carry little weight for her personally, the workshop served as an eye-opening moment for how her body language reads to others as she continues navigating her reality TV journey.
