90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way's Gabriel Paboga revealed the history behind his life before his gender transition.

Summary

90 Day Fiancé star Gabriel Paboga has revealed details about his life before and after he transitioned as the franchise’s first transgender male cast member. The 32-year-old starred in 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 4 with his Colombian wife Isabel Posada. The mother of two met Gabriel while he was in her country on a business trip. Gabriel owns the brand GMPWear, where he makes FTM (female-to-male) underwear with expensive foam packing. He was inspired by his own experience to launch the innovative innerwear.

90 Day Fiancé's Gabriel Paboga has so far been appreciated for his storyline with Isabel on the show. He started by revealing to the cameras how he told Isabel that he was a transgender man as soon as he could, and in turn, she accepted him. To Isabel, Gabriel was the “perfect” man. The fact that Gabriel is transgender was a big surprise to her because she didn’t notice any feminine traits in Gabriel's body or voice. While Isabel, who has two children from two different past relationships, never thought she would ever be attracted to a transgender man, she and Gabriel got married.

90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 4 has several controversial cast members. However, Gabe and Isabel are two of the heroes so far this season.

90 Day Fiancé Star Gabriel’s Inspiring Transition Journey

During his debut episode on The Other Way, Gabriel said, “It’s a very hard life being trans. It’s not like one day you wake up and you’re like oh, you know what, I’m trans.” Gabriel called it a feeling that someone feels their entire life. When Gabriel was in Kindergarten, his cousin had a friend who dressed like a boy. When he learned that girls can wear boys' clothes, Gabriel wore basketball shorts daily. Because he didn’t know a person could change their gender, he came out as a lesbian at 16. “All I know is, oh, I feel like a boy. But you know what, I date girls,” he added. Upon turning 22, Gabriel came across a video of a man transitioning. Gabriel watched all the man’s videos back to back in one night. “After that, I was like, all right, I got to do this,” Gabriel commented.

Is 90 Day Fiancé Star Gabriel Legally A Male?

On the show, 90 Day Fiancé star Gabriel said, “Once upon a time I was a girl, and now I’m a whole man,” before adding, “a whole man because I already got my surgery.” Starcasm reported that Gabriel filed to legally change his name from Natalie to Gabriel in November 2014, and it took a month for the name change to be approved.

It is difficult having one’s gender changed legally, especially in Florida. However, Gabriel revealed he could legally change his gender on his driver's license on Instagram in 2021. He posted a photo of his driver’s license that notes his sex as “M,” along with Gabriel’s other details. “Dont hate on my pic, yall love it. But look at that "M" standing for MANLY MAN,” Gabriel wrote in his caption. “yall peep the 'M', according to FL im officially male, 8 years later into transitioning, im a little late but finally in the club. better late than never!” he added with pride.

Are 90 Day Fiancé Couple Gabriel & Isabel Still Together?

Gabriel and Isabel are now married. The American man successfully moved to Colombia to be with Isabel and her kids. However, the road to their wedding was tough. While Isabel’s family adores Gabriel, they didn't know he’s a transgender man, which posed some problems for their journey. Whether they would tie the knot was uncertain, but 90 Day Fiancé The Other Way couple Isabel and Gabriel are still together.
