Who Is Marcia Brazil?

Rock of Love Bus viewers may remember Marcia from the third season of Bret Michaels’ dating show, during which 20 bachelorettes went on a tour bus to see if they could keep up with the Poison musician’s lifestyle and win his affection.  

After being eliminated in the fourth episode, Marcia went on to compete on other VH1 shows Charm School and I Love Money.

Why Did Fans Think Mike and Marcia Were Dating?

The relationship rumors sparked in September 2021 after Marcia shared a new photo with the Happily Ever After? cozying up for a selfie while getting into some “shenanigans” at Hilton Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa. The VH1 alum used the Instagram hashtags “sweetheart” and an “amazing dude” in her photo to describe the Washington native. 

Days later, the duo later posed for another set of photos together while taking a dip in a pool. “Sunday funday with my favorite people #bigmike90dayfiance #90dayfiance #sweetestguy #bigheart #greattimes,” she wrote alongside the portraits of them smiling and laughing tagged in Henderson, Nevada.

In August 2022, the brunette beauty shared another photo with her “sushi hero” at dinner. “Can’t live without it. Best sushi in town,” she wrote alongside a smiling selfie with the HEA alum. In the comment section, fellow 90 Day Fiance alum Larissa Dos Santos Lima added more speculation to the rumored flames, writing, “Beautiful couple” under the photo.

Are Mike and Marcia Dating?

In Touch exclusively confirmed in August 2022 that the Sequim, Washington, native was dating the VH1 alum. “[Mike and Marcia] are seeing each other,” a source exclusively told In Touch.

“[Mike and Marcia] are seeing each other,” a source exclusively told In Touch.

Howard “Howie” Wood, who represents both Marcia and Mike, exclusively told In Touch at the time, “I can only say that Mike and Marcia enjoy the time they spend together. They are both my clients, Marcia since the Rock of Love days and coincidentally, Mike is also a client. They both are extremely busy professionally and when they have the time to see each other, they do.”

In December 2022, Wood gave an update on the couple, telling In Touch exclusively that, “Mike and Marcia [are] still going strong and spending lots of time together.”

However, by March 2023, Marcia confirmed her split from the 90 Day Fiancé alum citing the long distance between them as a main factor in the demise of the relationship. 

“We talk, but not together. He is an amazing guy but unfortunately, we live far to have anything serious,” she wrote in a reply to a fan on Instagram that month. “I can’t do the long-distance thing. I care for him and do wish him the best and I’m sure we will see each other again, but for now, we are friends and we love each other like that.”

On April 5, 2023, In Touch exclusively revealed the reason behind their split. “Distance and career obligations for both had always been an issue, but the friendship remains,” Howie told In Touch. “There’s no bad blood between these two, it is what it is.”

Did Natalie and Mike Break Up?

Fans have been questioning if Mike and Marcia are a couple after his Uncle Beau Lawrence confirmed to In Touch exclusively that Mike and Natalie separated in March 2021 following less than a year of marriage. As of publication, In Touch can confirm there has not been any divorce filing for the season 6 HEA? stars.

Although the TLC couple parted ways romantically, Natalie had been residing in Florida.

The Ukraine native went on to document her journey to find love in seasons 2 and 3 of 90 Day: The Single Life

While Natalie seemingly found a connection with modeling CEO Josh Weinstein after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Mike appeared to touch her heart after helping her mom escape from the country. During the tell-all special, which aired that November, Natalie was confronted by both Mike and Josh and was asked if she was still in love with her estranged husband. 

“Do I still love you?” she replied while looking at him on stage. “I don’t know, it’s strange. He’s been for me for seven years. He’s not going out of my life. I don’t care how you call it. But do I love him? I don’t know.”

She also told Mike that she doesn’t plan to divorce him. “If you want, you divorce me. I’m not.”

While at the time Natalie admitted on stage that she wasn’t ready for a relationship, Josh’s ex-wife, Candice Mishler, exclusively confirmed to In Touch in February 2023 that Josh and Natalie “are still dating” and “moving forward with another season” of the spinoff.  

However, Natalie and Mike sparked reconciliation rumors a month later after being spotted filming 90 Day: The Single Life in March 2023. 

A fan shared a snap via social media of the pair deep in conversation as they sat at a table at a farmers market in Long Beach, California, with another woman, who is presumed to be Trish. Natalie also shared a photo of the interaction via her own Instagram Stories, however, put an emoji to hide the identity of the person she was with.
