Avery Mills, one of the stars of '90 Day Fiancé', opened up about her health during her perfume launch livestream. She revealed that she had been battling recurring illnesses and unexplained organ issues for years before doctors finally diagnosed her with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, better known as Lupus.

Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks healthy tissues, causing inflammation and organ damage. Avery shared that she has already started new treatments, including medications and infusions, which have left her feeling much better.

Her disclosure highlights a broader issue faced by many women with autoimmune diseases: delayed diagnoses often caused by systemic biases in healthcare. Many are dismissed, told their symptoms are 'all in their heads,' or ignored altogether until the disease progresses and becomes more severe. Avery's story thus reflects others fighting similar health challenges and demonstrates the importance of fighting for proper medical care. 

Are Avery Mills and Omar Albakour still together?

Avery Mills and Omar Albakour are happily married. The '90 Day Fiancé' star couple got married in 2019, and as of 2024, their relationship continues to thrive, both as partners and in their endeavors. At the start of their relationship, they faced numerous challenges, including cultural differences and the difficulties of long-distance, with Omar living in Syria and Avery in the U.S. However, they overcame these obstacles together. However, all that has made their love and commitment more strong.
