Messiest ’90 Day Fiance’ Splits Over the Years: From Juliana and Michael to Darcey and Jesse

Andrew Kenton and Amira Lollysa

Andrew and Amira debuted their rocky romance during season 8 of 90 Day Fiancé, which debuted in December 2020. 

After meeting online and dating long-distance, the French native traveled to Las Vegas to meet Andrew for the first time, where he proposed. After her K-1 visa was approved in March 2020, the U.S. placed a travel ban due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. 

During the series, Andrew discovered a “loophole” in the travel ban via an online message board for other K-1 couples impacted by the pandemic. He insisted that Amira fly to Mexico, where they could self-quarantine together for 14 days before traveling to America across the U.S.-Mexico border. 

When Amira arrived in Mexico, she was detained by authorities and was held for three days. TLC fans felt Andrew “pressured” Amira into taking the trip and also slammed the California native for staying in Mexico and enjoying the vacation solo. 

Amira eventually returned home to France and Andrew insisted they come up with another plan as they only had 40 days left before her visa expired. The brunette beauty ultimately decided to stay in France after getting in a major blowout fight with Andrew right before her scheduled flight.

Two years later after their 2020 split, Andrew revealed he was auctioning off the engagement ring he previously used to propose to Amira. 

“It was a beautiful emerald ring that Amira and I spent a long time customizing. It’s made of white gold and a big emerald sits on top surrounded by beautiful diamonds,” Andrew exclusively told In Touch in August 2022. “Amira and I went and had the ring appraised a few years back and it was worth about $8,000. Amira really loved that ring.”

Michael Jessen and Juliana Custodio

One month after their split, ​​Juliana shocked fans when she revealed she was expecting her first child with her new boyfriend, Ben Obscura. In January 2022, multiple sources claimed she cheated on Michael with Sarah’s husband and even accused Sean of being the father of her baby.

However, Juliana denied the cheating claims in an exclusive statement to In Touch. “It’s really sad that this family has nothing to use against me and they are using my baby and making these stories about me,” she said in January 2022. “I hope I never have to hear or see these people again.”

In Touch exclusively confirmed that Juliana filed for divorce from Michael in February 2022 in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Filing for “dissolution of marriage,” her attorney, Renee C. Bauer, told In Touch in a statement, “Juliana is looking forward to her next chapter and putting this behind her as amicably as possible.”

Their divorce was finalized on May 19, 2022, with the dissolution being uncontested by either party.

In December 2022, new details surrounding Juliana and Michael’s split arose, which seemingly included fellow cast member, Tania Maduro.

“[Juliana] left because they were too close for [her] liking,” an insider exclusively told In Touch of an alleged romantic connection between Michael and Tania. “They were seen at the bar, the little pub Fairfield in Cos Cob [Connecticut], kissing and stroking each other’s hands.”

The source also added that Tania “told Juliana personally that they are moving in together.”

Following the news, Tania took to her Instagram Stories and confirmed a connection to Michael.
“Suprise,” the 90 Day: The Single Life alum captioned an Instagram Reel that same week, utilizing the popular “Squirrels In My Pants” voiceover. In the clip, she closed her hands to reveal the father of two sitting behind her.

Darcey Silva and Jesse Meester

After meeting online, Darcey Silva flew to Amsterdam to meet Jesse Meester during season 1 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. They went on to star in season 2 of the spin-off, where fans watched them breakup and make up several times.

Over the course of their relationship, Darcey and Jesse got into several explosive fights that included one instance of the Amsterdam native freaking out over how to cut a piece of steak.

Following other arguments, the pair split up for a final time and both accused each other of being inauthentic, dishonest and unfaithful. Jesse claimed Darcey had a drinking problem, while she argued that her ex used her for fame.

During a May 2020 episode of TLC GO’s 90 Day Fiancé: What Now, Jesse shared an update about what he’s up to and revealed texts Darcey allegedly sent him following their split.

“I moved on from Darcey. But after the breakup, she was stalking me ever since, in any possible way,” the reality star claimed at the time.

Jesse added that Darcey’s alleged texts and calls were emotionally charged. “She has been contacting me over and over again,” he said. “She would say things like, ‘I will always love you,’ and ‘I thought we had one more chance.’”

Mike Youngquist and Natalie Mordovtseva

Fans watched stars Mike Youngquist and Natalie Mordovtseva go through a series of ups and downs after they made their reality TV debut during season 7 of the flagship series.

After facing issues with Natalie’s visa, the Ukraine native’s K-1 visa was finally approved during season 8 and she traveled to Mike’s remote farm in Sequim, Washington, to be with him. Tension between the couple skyrocketed during their 90 days, however, with Mike calling off their wedding the morning of the ceremony.

They eventually made it down the aisle in April 2020, though In Touch broke the news that Mike and Natalie had separated after one year of marriage in March 2021.

As of October 2022, In Touch can confirm that neither Mike or Natalie have filed for divorce. According to court records, the former couple have not submitted paperwork in Washington nor in her new home state of Florida.

Danielle Mullins and Mohamed Jbali

Danielle Mullins and Mohamed Jbali first appeared on season 2 of 90 Day Fiancé. Shortly after the pair tied the knot, Mohamed began accusing Danielle of stealing money from him and opening bank accounts in his name.

The pair continued to face obstacles in their relationship, with the final straw being that Mohamed cheated on Danielle after their wedding. She initially filed for an annulment, meaning her ex would be deported. However, the pair eventually filed for divorce and it was finalized in 2017. He is currently living in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Anfisa Arkhipchenko and Jorge Nava

While Anfisa Arkhipchenko and Jorge Nava were initially a fan favorite couple when they made their debut on season 4 of the flagship series, the pair underwent a nasty split when Jorge served time in prison for marijuana-related charges. While he was initially sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison, Jorge served only one year and eight months behind bars before his release in May 2021.

He officially filed for divorce from Anfisa in August 2020, submitting the paperwork five months after he revealed his plans to end his marriage.

While Jorge was in prison, Anfisa became a certified personal trainer and bodybuilder as she pursued an undergraduate degree. Meanwhile, Jorge worked on his weight loss behind bars and shed more than 100 pounds through diet and exercise.

In April 2020, Anfisa hinted that there was trouble in paradise even before Jorge’s legal troubles while exclusively speaking to In Touch. “Once it happened, I wanted to put our issues aside and stay by his side and support him in this difficult situation,” she said. “However, the whole time, I felt like I had a weight on my shoulders that wouldn’t let me be happy. I knew I had to end it and it would be better for the both of us, so Jorge and I talked about it and mutually decided to part ways a few months ago and agreed to divorce once he’s released.”

Chantel Everett and Pedro Jimeno

Pedro Jimeno and Chantel Everett became engaged in 2016 after they met just three times in person. Fans watched their engagement, as well as Pedro’s K-1 visa drama, play out during season 4 of the flagship series. Despite their rocky start, the pair tied the knot in Georgia in March 2016.

They quickly became fan favorites and even got their own spinoff show, The Family Chantel, in 2019. In addition to dealing with financial struggles, viewers saw the couple’s family members constantly fighting with each other.

Pedro and Chantel’s love story came to an end in May 2022 when Pedro filed for divorce. Their split was documented on season 4 of The Family Chantel, which saw Pedro express his fears that Chantel would have him deported and the nurse took $265K from their joint bank account.

Molly Hopkins and Luis Mendez

Molly Hopkins and Luis Mendez, who were first introduced in season 5 of 90 Day Fiancé, legally wed in July 2017 after meeting in the Dominican Republic. During their marriage, Luis didn’t get along well with Molly’s two kids and the tension caused a strain in their relationship. Just six months after tying the knot, the Georgia native filed for divorce in January 2018. According to Reality Blurb, Molly noted that their marriage was “irretrievably broken with no hope of reconciliation.”

Memphis Smith and Hamza Moknii

Memphis Smith and Hamza Moknii faced several major obstacles throughout their relationship, including a language barrier and trust issues that stemmed from poor communication. The pair – who made their TLC debut in December 2021 on season 5 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days – ultimately got engaged, married and pregnant before eventually splitting.

Speculation of a possible split began when Memphis deleted all mentions of Hamza from her Instagram and the pair unfollowed each other in March 2022. That same month, the nurse practitioner continued to hint at their breakup by sharing a quote that read, “Never love a man so much that you ignore the truth about him.”

The following month, Hamza’s sister, Rawia Moknii, hinted at the split by sharing an alleged text message exchange between her and Memphis. During the conversation, Rawia addressed her brother’s concern toward Memphis’ ex-husband and father of one of her children, Justin Sandoval.

“Sister, Hamza does not mind to speak with [sic] your ex-husband but he [feels] jealous when you go alone to his house alone,” Rawia’s alleged message to the TV personality read.

Memphis replied, “Justin is not here, he is at work and when he gets here I will be leaving. I just can’t leave the children alone.” She then said Hamza should “be happy” because she wouldn’t have been able to travel to Tunisia to meet Hamza without Justin, adding that her ex is a “good guy and good father.”

The Michigan native later confirmed her split from Hamza later that month after she used the hashtag “single mom” in an Instagram post. Following their split, Hamza moved to Chicago and the couple has been involved in a heated custody case over their daughter.

Rawia revealed that Hamza and Memphis couldn’t find a compromise when it came to a visitation agreement for their only child together. “I want to know something, is it normal in America when someone ignored a judge’s ruling because in Tunisia this exposes us to penalties [sic],” she wrote on her Instagram Story in August 2022.

Paul Staehle and Karine Staehle

Paul Staehle and Karine Staehle made their debut on season 1 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days.

Even before tying the knot, they faced several problems in their relationship. Paul accused Karine of cheating on him with other American men, though Karine denied the allegations. Despite all of the obstacles between them, they ultimately got married on November 3, 2017. Following their wedding, the pair suffered two miscarriages before conceiving their son Pierre.

They experienced more marital woes just eight months after Pierre’s birth, with Paul claiming Karine  filed for divorce in Brazil. She later confirmed their split in a statement to Us Weekly.

However, the couple rekindled their romance and returned to reality TV for season 5 of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? 

In July 2020, Paul posted a now-deleted Instagram Live video of a police visit to their home after Karine called the cops following a dispute between them. Paul claimed the fight began when he claimed to witness Karine communicating with a Brazilian lawyer about “child support and divorce.” The pair continued to fight throughout the day, which led to the cops being called a second time.

Karine — who was pregnant with baby No. 2 at the time — left their marital home following the fight and filed a restraining order against Paul. He later claimed Karine had gone “missing” after she moved out of the house, though she denied it in a statement in August 2020.

The pair was due in court on August 11, 2020, for a hearing regarding the restraining order. While neither Paul nor Karine confirmed a split at the time, they hinted at their separation by sharing cryptic posts that their marriage was over. The restraining orders were eventually dropped on September 16.

Despite their problems, the pair continued to work on their marriage and welcomed their second child, son Ethan, in February 2021.

Then in December 2021, Karine and Paul made headlines when a video surfaced online that seemingly documented an alleged domestic violence altercation between them at their Kentucky home. Shortly after the footage was released, the pair seemingly confirmed that they had split again by removing photos of each other on Instagram.

While the exes are no longer together, they are currently standing by each other’s sides amid their custody battle with Child Protective Services.

Yve Arellano and Mohamed Abdelhamed

Yve Arellano and Mohamed Abdelhamed were introduced to fans on 90 Day Fiancé in April 2022. In September 2022, In Touch broke the news that Yve filed for divorce from Mohamed following his affair.

“Unfortunately, this is not a surprise,” a rep for Yve told In Touch at the time. “The couple’s most recent media exposure regarding their 90-Day, K-1 visa journey was rife with incompatibility, heartache and controversy.”

“Sadly, many of these events unfolded online and on their reality TV series. Arellano’s filing for divorce only serves as the next inevitable step in the trajectory of the couple’s journey,” the statement continued. “She has come to the conclusion that the marriage has suffered irreparable harm and cannot be reconciled. She hopes this will be the final step to close this chapter in her life, put the past behind her and move forward into the future.”

Fans got a glimpse into their rocky romance during part 2 of the season 9 tell-all in August 2022. During the special, Mohamed admitted to having relationships with multiple women online during their marriage.

“She was very nice, I thought we [were] friends … And then, things started to get bigger,” he explained in a solo confessional. “Yve saw my phone. She saw the text messages, and that’s how Yve knew.”

Hours before news of the couple’s split broke, In Touch exclusively confirmed Yve was charged with one count of battery against a household member and one count of assault against a household member after an alleged incident between the former couple.

She was charged following her ex’s claims that she attacked him while trying to gain access to his phone while inside their home.

After the Egypt native filed the police report, Yve’s rep slammed the domestic violence allegations and claimed they were “falsified by Mohamed.”

Colt Johnson and Larissa Dos Santos Lima

Colt Johnson proposed to Larissa Dos Santos Lima just 11 days after meeting and they tied the knot in June 2018. the process of which was documented on season 6 of the flagship series.

Before they filed for divorce in January 2019, Larissa was arrested for domestic battery three times. Her first arrest was dismissed, though she was charged with battery, domestic violence and a misdemeanor following the second arrest because Colt had been visibly injured. Following the trial, the case was dismissed and the charges against Larissa were dropped. She was arrested for a final time in January 2019 and was charged with misdemeanor domestic battery.

Larissa also accused Colt of cheating on her during their marriage.

Before their split, Jess called out her ex by posting direct messages that Colt allegedly shared with his friend Vanessa Guerra, after he claimed they weren’t hooking up behind her back during an August 2020 episode.

“He’s a liar, a cheater, [and] a [piece] of trash hiding under his [mother’s] skirt,” she claimed at the time.

Darcey Silva and Tom Brooks

During an April 2020 episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, Darcey and Tom Brooks broke up after she confronted him about photos circulating on social media that captured him cuddling with another woman.

The conversation began with Darcey pointing out that Tom only made time for her when it was convenient for him, noting that it hurt her feelings that he didn’t FaceTime her on her birthday. Tom fired back by telling her she was self-obsessed.

He eventually admitted that he had feelings for a woman he met at Milan Fashion Week, though he still blamed Darcey for the end of their relationship. Tom argued that he gave “all of” himself to their relationship before stating he loved her more like a “sister” than a romantic partner.

Before they left the breakup conversation, Tom asked Darcey if she “put on weight.” Darcey left the conversation by stating that Tom meant “nothing” to her now, with Tom telling the cameras that they were “100 percent over.”

Mike Berk and Ximena Morales

Mike Berk and Ximena Morales made their debut on season 5 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days in December 2021.

While the couple seemed to initially hit it off, they faced several issues over the course of their relationship. For example, Ximena kept a secret that she couldn’t have more children because her tubes were tied. She also confronted Mike about his bad habits including passing gas and leaving dirty clothes on the floor.

In 2022, split speculation began to circulate when Ximena seemingly uploaded and immediately deleted a TikTok with a man who did not look like Mike. Soon after, both Mike and Ximena removed each other’s Instagram handles from their bios.

Ximena quickly released a statement addressing the post and split rumors. “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.

She continued to fuel breakup rumors later that month by posting a photo of her new tattoo — a design of the characters Stitch and Angel from the 2002 Disney film, Lilo & Stitch. 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 cover a tattoo of Mike’s moniker.

After nearly a week of breakup speculation, a source exclusively told In Touch that Mike and Ximena split less than one year after their engagement.

Baby Girl Lisa) – who made their reality TV debut on season 4 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days – called it quits after she was discharged from the hospital in October 2020 after the pair tied the knot. Despite the Nigerian rapper’s allegations that she tried to harm herself, Lisa’s rep stated she was receiving medical treatment for gangrene in one of her toes.

Following their split, Lisa claimed Usman “used” her and the TLC show to gain exposure for his music. Her rep, Rocco Straz, then insisted the split was not “for drama [or] entertainment.”

A lot of fans always questioned his [intentions], and he’s just proving them correct.”
