These are the same word, in its masculine and feminine forms.
A fiancé is a man who is engaged to be married, and a fiancée is a woman engaged to be married. This difference in the word endings (the extra “e”) is from French grammar, as these are French words, adopted into English. They are pronounced exactly the same; the difference is only in writing, but using the wrong spelling will mis-communicate and cause confusion.
