Are ’90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days’ Stars Mike Berk and Ximena Morales Still Together?
Are 90 Day Fiancé stars Mike Berk and Ximena Morales still together? Mike and Ximena got engaged in a very romantic proposal but it’s clear they had a lot of obstacles to get through if they wanted to end up together. Keep scrolling below for an update on Mike and Ximena today after filming!
How Did ‘90 Day Fiance’ Stars Mike and Ximena Meet?
Mike and Ximena made their debut on season 5 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days in December 2021. At the time, Mike was a 34-year-old IT support technician and volunteer firefighter from Thiells, New York. He admitted that he hadn’t had much luck in the love department throughout his life and the last time he had a serious girlfriend was in high school. Since he wasn’t getting many dates via dating apps in his area, he changed his location to Colombia — and almost immediately matched with Ximena.
Ximena was a 24-year-old manicurist and a single mother of two young children. Mike documented his trip from the U.S. to her native Pereira, Colombia, to meet her in person for the very first time. While the couple seemed to hit it off, they were faced with several issues: like Ximena’s secret that she could not have any more children because her tubes were tied or when she confronted Mike about his bad habits like passing gas and leaving dirty clothes on the floor.
Fans were also skeptical about the Colombian beauty because she revealed that Mike had been paying her rent and had bought furniture and appliances for her apartment since they had been dating. Many felt that she was not in the relationship for the right reasons and was only using him for his money.
What Happened During ‘90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days’?
The couple seemed to overcome their obstacles and on the last night of Mike’s trip, he prepared a romantic setting for his proposal. He popped the question at dinner surrounded by Ximena’s children and close family members, and of course, she said yes.
However, it seems it wasn’t all bliss afterward. During a February episode, Mike expressed his concerns about his new fiancée after he returned to the states. “Something seems a little off with Ximena, she’s just getting a little bit more distant,” Mike told his father and grandfather.
“You’re still sending her money?” Mike’s dad asked. “She wants to get some augmentation for her breasts, she’s asking me to pay for it,” Mike replied.
Mike’s dad responded with his advice, “I think that should stop.”
“Ximena hasn’t been acting like herself lately so that’s why I need to go back to Colombia,” Mike said in his confessional. Once he arrived, Ximena acted cold and standoffish toward him.
Are ‘90 Day Fiance’ Star Mike and Ximena Still Together?
While it seemed like the couple was destined for failure while on the show, they also sparked breakup rumors online in real time. On Valentine’s Day, Mike and Ximena had both listed each other’s handles in their Instagram profiles with a heart-eyes emoji, however, they removed it just three days later.
The removal came on the heels of breakup rumors as Ximena seemingly uploaded and immediately deleted a TikTok with a man who did not look like Mike. In the clip, which was saved and reposted by 90 Day Fiancé blogger John Yates, a series of photos and videos of Ximena and the dark-haired mystery man played on the screen and were set to a romantic Spanish-language song titled “Jaque Mate” by Juanse.
Ximena quickly released a statement addressing the post. “They have uploaded a false video that is rolling on social networks. Someone stole my account and uploaded fake stuff,” she wrote in a since-deleted Instagram Stories post.
The nail tech continued to add fuel to the breakup rumors later that month, when she posted a photo of her new tattoo — a design of the characters Stitch and Angel from the 2002 Disney film, Lilo & Stitch, on the inside of her wrist. The tattoo appeared to be on the same wrist where she had previously tattooed Mike’s name, as she showed off the ink via TikTok in September 2020. The new piece seemed to be a coverup of Mike’s moniker.
After nearly of week of breakup speculation, a source exclusively told In Touch that Mike and Ximena split less than one year after their engagement and that they are not still together.
In September 2022, Mike seemingly went public with a new partner.
“Enjoying a nice dinner with my queen,” the TLC alum shared via Instagram alongside a photo of two cocktails. In the comment section, he offered more information about the mystery woman.
“She has brownish, blonde hair, beautiful hazel eyes with specks of green-yellow to them, she’s shorter than me,” he wrote in a reply to a fan who questioned her appearance. “She’s also never had 1 ounce of cosmetic surgery and doesn’t have any interest in that. She’s [a] soccer, volleyball mom, who is busy with kids and sports.”
