Tyler Perry’s Zatima | Did Malachi Get Fatima Pregnant When She Was In High School?

First, remember the conversation Fatima had with Zach towards the end of Season 6. She revealed that when she was in high school, there was a guy with a bad reputation in her neighborhood that her parents warned her to stay away from. But despite the warnings, she got involved with him and ended up pregnant, only to lose the baby in a miscarriage. Now, fast forward to Malachi’s conversation with Zach in Season 7. Malachi admits that he’s had a troubled past but learned from his mistakes. He also tells Zach that he never went to jail, but he made bad decisions. That sounds suspiciously like someone who had their fair share of struggles, maybe even a similar past to the one Fatima described.

Here’s where it gets interesting. Malachi’s friendship with Fatima goes back 20 years, and if we calculate Fatima’s age—she’s somewhere between 34 and 36, as confirmed by Sabrina turning 35 in Season 7. So, if we look at the timeline and assume Fatima was about 15 to 17 years old when she got pregnant, then it’s possible that Malachi was the guy who knocked her up. He might have been that “bad boy” she was warned about, and their relationship could have led to the miscarriage. It would make sense if Malachi had been that guy, considering the timeline and his troubled past.

But there’s more to the story. In Season 6, Leslie mentions that Malachi and Fatima were in love at one point, but Fatima caught Leslie and Malachi fooling around, which led to their falling out. After that, communication between Fatima and Malachi was cut off, and Malachi eventually moved on to marry someone else. Could this have been the point where Fatima turned to Ian for comfort, only to end up in a similar, heartbreaking situation? After all, Ian also got her pregnant, but instead of sticking around, he convinced her to have an abortion and then went on to marry someone else. It’s a painful pattern.

Now, let’s take it one step further: If Malachi found out about Fatima’s miscarriage, could this have been the turning point that caused him to change his life around? It would make sense if he realized the impact of his past decisions and decided to turn over a new leaf, which explains his redemption arc in the show. If that’s true, it would add even more layers to Malachi’s character and his relationship with Fatima.

So, what do you think? Could Malachi have been the guy Fatima was talking about in her past? Could their relationship have been the catalyst for his change? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below—this theory has the potential to be a game-changer!
