Jallali and her then-boyfriend, Aladin, seemed like polar opposites.

1. Ecuador Became Her Unexpected Home

5. She Allegedly Deceived Aladin About Her Age
In 2019, Aladin claimed that he felt catfished by Laura, who had reportedly told him she was 40 years old when she was actually over a decade older.
