From Quarantine Bae to Moving On? Find Out If Darcey Silva and Georgi Rusev Are Still Together

Giving their love another chance? 90 Day Fiancé alum Darcey Silva introduced her hunky boyfriend-turned-fiancé, Georgi Rusev, during the season 1 premiere of her and her twin sister‘s TLC series, Darcey & Stacey. Unfortunately, they quickly started to experience ups and downs and even though they got engaged, season 2 ended with their nasty split. While Georgi popped the question a second time, the pair split again, and by season 4, Darcey was ready to move on from her ex with the help of a matchmaker.

While Darcey doubled back and ended up “hooking up” with Georgi by the end of the season, fans are curious if the couple is still together.

When Did Darcey Silva and Georgi Rusev Start Dating?

Darcey made her franchise debut on season 1 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days with ex-boyfriend Jesse Meester in August 2017. Their dramatic split played out a year later during season 2. When Darcey returned for season 3 of Before the 90 Days in 2019, she had a new long-distance boyfriend, Tom Brooks, but their relationship also went south quickly. Their nasty breakup aired in 2020 on season 4.

In August 2020, Darcey and her twin sister, Stacey Silva, premiered their spinoff, Darcey & Stacey. At the time, Darcey was ready to move on after her split from Tom and had met Georgi online. At the time, Georgi worked as a massage therapist and was living in Virginia. He is originally from Bulgaria but moved to the United States about 10 years prior.

Since Darcey is based in Connecticut, the couple met up in New York City for their first in-person meeting. After going on several dates with Georgi, the couple was faced with an issue in their long-distance relationship. The coronavirus pandemic had reached a peak in the United States in March 2020, and many states imposed lockdowns to help slow the spread of COVID-19. In order to keep their relationship going, Darcey and Georgi decided to move in together after just weeks of dating.

Unfortunately, Darcey and Georgi hit a rough patch shortly after moving in together. Darcey found out that Georgi is still married to his ex-wife, Octavia Bellinger. He later explained that he had filed for divorce in January 2020 but because the coronavirus shut down most states in the U.S. that March, his divorce proceedings were put on hold until courthouses reopened.

That wasn’t the only secret Georgi was hiding from his lady love. Darcey later found out Georgi had an ex-girlfriend whom he dated before Darcey, and his ex-girlfriend had recently given birth to a baby. Darcey wondered if Georgi could be the father of his ex’s child. But he denied having fathered a child with his ex.

When Did Darcey Silva and Georgi Rusev Get Engaged?

Despite their issues, Georgi proposed to Darcey in June 2020 after four months of dating and she said yes, In Touch confirmed in October 2020. The couple’s engagement aired on the season 1 finale.

However, their engagement did not solve the problems they were facing in their relationship. When they returned for season 2, Georgi and Darcey had good news to reveal — his divorce from Octavia was finalized. Even though that meant Georgi was able to legally marry Darcey, the couple was not in a rush to walk down the aisle.

Darcey felt that Georgi had been very secretive about his past and was not very open or forthcoming with her about his life. She felt that she would not be ready to move forward with wedding planning until she learned more about him, which is why she reached out to Octavia via social media. The ladies met for lunch during a trip to Virginia during the 2020 holiday season to help Georgi move the rest of his belongings from his old apartment.

In a scene that aired in August 2021, Octavia told Darcey that she once found a sugar mama website on Georgi’s computer. Darcey revealed that she was the one who was paying their rent, bills, food and even funding Georgi’s lavish taste in designer clothes ever since they moved in together, and she felt that he might be using her for her money. 

After confronting Georgi, he denied that he was on a sugar mama website to find rich women, but that he was interested in finding a relationship with older women. Darcey didn’t believe him, and she returned to Connecticut without him. Her suspicions about Georgi using her for her money were heightened when she later found out that her friend had allegedly overheard Georgi call Darcey and her friends “American trash” and that he would be “out” once Darcey’s money runs out.

When Did Darcey Silva and Georgi Rusev Break Up?

It seemed their relationship was over for good, but the couple reconnected after Darcey’s father and daughters, Aniko and Aspen, had a COVID-19 scare after being exposed to the virus. Once they learned that her family had tested negative, they set up a dinner with Stacey, Stacey’s husband, Florian Sukaj, and their friends to address Georgi’s alleged comments.

Georgi denied the comments and after hashing it out, Darcey agreed to leave it in the past. However, the couple got into a huge fight again over Darcey’s conversations with Octavia while Darcey was packing for a trip to Turkey to undergo a plastic surgery transformation with Stacey. After a very tense good-bye, Darcey used her vacation to reevaluate her relationship with Georgi. During her stay, she broke up with Georgi via FaceTime and told him that he needed to be moved out of their apartment by the time she returned.

Their relationship seemed to hit a breaking point after he popped the question a second time before season 3 wrapped. 

In March 2022, Darcey spoke to Life & Style about her decision to move on from Georgi. “There was, you know, many months of just empty promises, and the tell-all situation just was the last that I was gonna take … no bad blood,” she explained about what changed following his second proposal.

“I just felt like, I can’t waste any more of my precious years on this earth to someone … I deserve better. You know? Like I said, I wish him well … it just started feeling like things wouldn’t change,” Darcey said at the time. “Unless I, you know, stepped away.”

She added that he was in “disbelief” over their split. “I just said, ‘I told you, you know, once it left here, my heart followed and I just … I can’t,’” the TV personality revealed. “So, he had to pick up his own pieces and figure your life out for himself.”

While he was initially in shock, Darcey admitted she “felt like he knew deep down” that their split was coming.

What Does Darcey Silva Look for in a Romantic Partner?

In March 2022, Stacey told Life & Style that Darcey is looking for “a family man” who is “loving, giving; somebody that’s successful, good looking. It’s a package.”

The qualities Darcey is searching for were not a part of her dynamic with Georgi, as their relationship was full of “many months of just empty promises.”

Georgi Pledged to ‘Fight’ for Darcey During Season 4

During season 4 of Darcey & Stacey, which premiered on January 23, 2023, Darcey appeared to be moving on as she went on dates with the help of a matchmaker.

However, Darcey would come face to face with her ex after Florian asked Georgi to be his best man in his wedding to Stacey. 

During the March 6 episode of the series, Georgi made a surprise visit to Miami and admitted to Florian that he wanted to win Darcey back. While the Albania native tried to deter Georgi, telling him that Darcey was focused on dating — the former exes agreed to a meeting together.

However, their reunion did not go well. While Georgi tried to gift his ex with a diamond bracelet, Darcey rejected the advance, accusing Georgi of “taking advantage” of her and “manipulating” the situation. 

“I came here because I care about you,” Georgi said during the blowup. “I don’t come here to cause problems … I’m not here to manipulate you. I’m here because I love you. [sic]”

Darcey told Georgi their relationship was “done” before leaving their encounter.

During the April 3 episode, Darcey seemed like she wanted to move on when asked her new love interest, Zach, to be her plus-one to Stacey and Florian’s wedding. After he paused for a moment, Zach said he would love to attend the wedding and kissed her on the cheek.

While Darcey warned Zach that Georgi will be at the wedding, he insisted that he still wanted to go.

“The fact that Darcey’s ex is gonna be at the wedding doesn’t bother me or doesn’t really faze me,” he said in a confessional.

The exes continued to spend time with each other during Stacey and Florian’s wedding, which was featured during the April 10 episode.

“It’s so hard to see Georgi here. It’s really uncomfortable and awkward. I just want everything to be copacetic for Stacey’s sake and Zach’s stake,” Darcey said. “Zach is going to be here tomorrow for Stacey’s wedding and I just don’t want any of this drama to be around him so I’m going to keep my cool, ignore him and do me and not allow him to get to me.”

Drama ensued when Florian told Darcey that she would have to walk down the aisle with Georgi, while he made the situation more complicated by announcing his plans to win Darcey back during the rehearsal dinner. In an attempt to avoid drama, Darcey decided to uninvite Zach as her date.

The reality star confronted her ex during the ceremony. “We’re not together, Georgi, I’ve moved on,” she told him. “I’m going to continue to move on.”

After Darcey said she didn’t want Georgi to “fight” for her, she continued, “Your words hurt people. Your words have hurt me, your actions have hurt me. It’s even uncomfortable standing here talking with you right now.”

“I feel like the past is the past,” Darcey noted. “I’ve moved on. I’ve healed. I’ve gone through so many things and I’m continuing that journey for myself to better me and empower myself and my daughters. I want them to see my happy and empowered in an empowered, healthy [and] happy relationship.”

Are Darcey and Georgi Still Together?

Though Darcey’s season 4 storyline was that she was single, the same month it premiered on TLC, the reality TV personality and her former fiancé were allegedly spotted fighting during a dinner date at a Miami restaurant, according to a photo uploaded by a Reddit user with the subject line, “Sad Georgi after a public fight with Darcey in a restaurant.”

After another social media user asked for more details, the original Reddit poster – who claimed that although they did not see what happened, a friend of their sibling did – alleged “they started yelling at each other” during their night, adding that she said she was being “emotionally gaslit” after the staff said she wasn’t “being nice.” Darcey allegedly “started accusing him of something,” then “screamed, ‘Thanks, goodbye,’ and left.”

Months later, the former couple continued to spark reconciliation rumors after they were caught getting flirty on social media. 

“Boat day,” Georgi shared via Instagram on May 24, alongside a photo of himself posing with a cigar in his hand. Under the post, the mom of two responded with a flirty comment, writing, “Loving the Miami heat,” adding a heart and flame emoji. 

Weeks later, Georgi ignited social media after sharing that he was at Tiffany’s looking at wedding rings on June 19. While he left his post captionless, he played Bill Idol’s “White Wedding” in the background of the clip. By September, fans were in a frenzy when he posted a photo of himself in a tux with the caption, “It’s finally happening!” alongside a red heart and Darcey’s handle tagged. Darcey commented on the post with three heart emojis, leaving fans screaming for answers. 

By November 2023, fans were dying for any clue about Darcey and Georgi’s status, as she and Stacey just happened to stop by the wedding dress designer who designed Stacey’s gown in her November 2022 wedding. 

“Guess where we are,” Darcey said in a clip posted to social media. “We are at Katerina Bocci,” Stacey finished her sister’s sentence, before adding, “My amazing wedding dress designer, she is world-renowned. Best in the world and in America.” 

Darcey and Georgi broke their silence on their relationship and confirmed they got married on November 11, 2023, after TLC shared a photo of them showing off their new wedding bands. 

“Congratulations to the newlyweds, Darcey and Georgi!” the caption read via Instagram. “Here’s what she has to say about their big day: ‘I’m thrilled to share that Georgi and I got married on our special day of November 11th. I’ve been on a long journey to find love, and in the end, love wins. I’m so blessed for you all to be a part of my journey in life, love, and happiness. Thank you for all the love and support! Stay tuned. Love, Darcey xoxo.’”
