Tim Malcolm, known to many simply as Tim, is an American TV personality and entrepreneur. He was born on 30 June 1980, in Charlotte, North Carolina. Tim owns a gun manufacturing company called Gringo Custom Guns and is best known for his appearances on the TLC network show, “90 Day Fiance.” More specifically, he was on “90-Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days” before becoming one of the hosts who added commentary to the couples on the show.
In the ’90s, Tim tried his luck at becoming an actor and appeared as an extra in the 1989 movie “Black Rain.” This sparked an interest in becoming a movie star, but the interest quickly faded after he decided he didn’t want to move to Los Angeles or New York. He instead ran a tanning salon with his brother. Only when he noticed movie shoots becoming more frequent in North Carolina did he reconsider his dream.
In season 3 of TLC’s top-rated show, “90-Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days,” Tim appeared as one of the show’s subjects, headed to Colombia to find love. After his run on the show, he shifted to “90-Day Fiance Pillow Talk,” where he and other former subjects discuss and commentate on the couples that are currently on the show. Tim also does lots of charity work and is an anti-bullying advocate following his experience on the show where he’d always be criticized for his looks.
Tim became a fan-favorite on the show thanks to strong personality and standing up for himself. He constantly gets into disputes and arguments with other hosts for criticizing his appearance and sexuality. Due to his personality and choice of clothing, fans started wondering about his gender orientation. Is Tim Malcolm gay? Does he have relationships with women? Is he married? Does he have kids? Let’s get to know the TLC host to answer these questions.

Originally, Tim thought he was going to be catfished as his relationship with Tarzona began when the former found the latter’s online profile on a dating website. The pair failed to find success in their relationship and announced their split in late 2019.
Tim Malcolm and Linda Ramirez (2021-2023)
Tim announced his new girlfriend, Colombian-born American Linda Ramirez, in a March 2021 episode of “90 Day: Bares All.” When asked about the relationship, Tim had this to say:
Linda is very special to me. She’s been in the United States for about a year and a half… She’s been learning English and that’s obviously been a huge obstacle, but she’s sweet and she’s low maintenance.”

Tim met Ramirez on the same dating site where he met Tarazona. Ramirez and Tim quickly hit it off, but the pandemic caused them to move in together prematurely. The language barrier, their 17-year age gap, and the sudden exposure to television life proved to be the culprits for the couple’s split.

In an episode of “90 Day: The Single Life,” Tim revealed that he and Luisa Beltran started talking years ago on social media, but their relationship never progressed. They’ve recently reconnected, but both have stated that it’s still too early to comment on their relationship. The pair want to hold off and to “see where it goes” before making any announcements.
