90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way’sOussamawon’t give up onDebbie.
Debbie, 67, has revealed that her much younger ex Oussama, 24, is trying to win her back, after she broke up with him on the show, and has called her repeatedly “looking for Barry White time” (seemingly a reference to the iconic, deep-voiced singer’s sensual music).
“He keeps contacting me and he’s back to sending me poetry,” Debbie toldEntertainment Tonight, who also noted that Oussama had “apologized” to her.
“Right now for me, it’s friendship. But for Oussama, he’s thinking that you know, the future is gonna hold up and he’s going to be better. And he’s looking for like Barry White time. And it’s like, ‘Oh, no, no, no, we just have to keep things platonic.'”

Debbie confirmed toETthat “there’s no romance now.”
“There was several chances made over the years and trust and then sincerity and all that collapsed,” she added.

Debbie’s update comes after Oussama insisted during the reunion last month thathe “doesn’t love her” anymore.
Debbie said she felt Oussama “became a different person” leading up to their breakup — which she couldn’t get over. “That was creepy," she toldET. “But I think he really regrets it. But I can’t forget that because it is about honor. And it is about integrity. And it just boom, it crashed.”
The90 Daystar shared that leaving her ex’s sister — to whom she’d become close — was one of the most difficult parts of the split, but she said she “counted her blessings the crew were there” to support her when her relationship became strained.
Despite her ordeal, Debbie hinted that she hasn’t given up on Oussama and still has hope he’ll change his ways.
“I want to trust Oussama,” Debbie said on the tell-all reunion. “I want him to be an honest and better man and learn from this. But he’s going to have to, man up, you know, and take responsibility for his actions and be careful with his words.
“You know, your mouth is a trigger,” she added. “And when when you shoot it off, you hurt people with ugliness and bullying. And that wasn’t the Oussama I knew. It was like some strange guy took over.”
