WINCHESTER, CALIFORNIA: 'I Love a Mama's Boy' Season 4 star Shahid Hinton's mother, Dia Hinton, continues her enduring romance with Jerome. The couple has been together for nearly nine years and shows no signs of slowing down. However, Dia and Jerome's romance faced a roadblock when Shahid expressed his disapproval in a rather hurtful manner.

Shahid has never completely accepted Jerome as part of the family. In a recent episode, he disparagingly referred to Jerome as his mother's "little boyfriend," a remark that deeply affected Jerome and left him feeling dejected. This remark not only highlighted the tension between Shahid and Jerome but also raised questions about Shahid's role in supporting his mother's happiness. Jerome felt disheartened by Shahid's words and began to consider the possibility of moving out of Dia's home. This potential decision underscores the emotional toll that Shahid's attitude is having on their relationship. Shahid's comment could have jeopardized Dia and Jerome's romance if his mother's partner hadn’t been understanding enough to overlook his potential stepson.

While his jokes about marrying his mother may seem playful on the surface, they hint at a deep emotional bond that makes it challenging for him to envision her with another partner.
