Vanja is sticking up for Bozo. Pic credit: Discovery+ Bozo Vrdoljak has come under some harsh criticism, but Vanja Grbic has his back. 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days viewers have called out Vanjas Croatian love interest this season for his lack of interest and wishy-washy attitude about their relationship.

Vanjas supporters have urged her to kick Bozo to the curb and hit up one of his friends instead since his actions have made it clear that hes just not that into her.

Bozo, a 38-year-old unemployed basketball player who lives with his mom, has caught some major heat from 90 Day Fiance viewers, but surprisingly, Vanja is coming to his defense. On TikTok over the weekend, Vanja, 41, recorded herself sharing a long-winded explanation of Bozos living situation.

As she explained to her fans and followers, Bozo living with his mom is not uncommon in their Balkan culture. Vanja says Bozos culture is why he still lives at home I wanted to do a quick video, um, defending Bozo a little bit, believe it or not, Vanja began her video with a chuckle.

Vanja acknowledged the negative comments Bozo has received online, calling a lot of them very well deserved.

I really felt like it would be a good idea for me to post this video explaining a little bit of a background of our Balkan culture. All the countries from former Yugoslavia have similar cultural traditions when it comes to marriage, children, growing up and moving out, etc. Now in the modern times, we are moving a little bit away from how things have been done traditionally throughout the history.

People are becoming a little bit more independent in terms of their living situation nowdays.

Traditionally throughout the history children would usually not move out of the parents house as adults. Once a man gets married, his wife would usually move in with him and his parents.

This would often make for a very difficult living situation for everyone involved. The new wife would feel like she is imposing on the mother-in-law‘s territory, especially when it comes to the kitchen.

As a woman, you are expected to not move out of your parents house until you’re married.

if you do move out as an unmarried woman, depending on a situation, it can be looked upon as a shameful act. The parents would feel betrayed, abandoned, and disappointed. Everybody’s family has different circumstances, preferences, and ways of doing things, but overall children are expected to stay with the parents and help out.

I have not been able to break away on my own until I was 30.

I wanted to leave a lot earlier, but it was a very difficult thing to break away from my parents expectations and the cultural norms. Božo does not have the financial means to move out on his own, and that is partially the reason why he is still living with his mom and aunt.

Culturally speaking, he is just one of many, who are in the same situation! hope this helps!
