90 Day Fiance's Yara Baby Bump: See Pregnancy Photos

Family of three! 90 Day Fiancé stars Yara Zaya and Jovi Dufren announced the arrival of their baby girl, Mylah, on their birth special that aired on April 4 following the season 8 finale. Now that baby Mylah made her reality TV debut, the couple has been able to share photos from Yara’s pregnancy journey with their daughter.

Yara, 25, and Jovi, 31, were introduced to fans on season 8 of the hit TLC reality TV series. Before they made their franchise debut in December 2020, the couple sparked pregnancy rumors in previews for the show. In January 2021, In Touch confirmed Yara did get pregnant shortly after her arrival in the United States in January 2020, and she gave birth to their baby girl that September.

Fans watched as Yara and Jovi’s love story played out on 90 Day Fiancé. They crossed paths on an app while Jovi was traveling abroad for work and they met in person for the first time when they traveled to Budapest together. They quickly started dating long-distance and reuniting in various countries and cities.

After several months of dating, Yara learned she was pregnant. Jovi decided to propose to Yara and apply for the K-1 visa, which allows the foreign fiancé or fiancée of an American citizen to legally enter the United States under the condition that the couple weds within 90 days. The couple planned to start their lives together in America with their unborn child, but unfortunately, Yara suffered a miscarriage.

The couple still decided to go through with their wedding plans, but they started to clash as soon as Yara touched down in New Orleans from her native country of Ukraine. They were at odds over Jovi’s partying ways, the apartment he chose for their first home together and the way he chose to decorate their apartment. They also fought over Jovi’s work schedule, which requires him to be away from home for weeks at a time, and whether or not to start a family soon. One of their blowout fights took place during their engagement party when Yara felt Jovi had too much to drink and wasn’t spending time with her.

Their relationship took a turn for the better when Yara and Jovi learned they were expecting again, but they got into another big fight because of Jovi’s bachelor party the night before they traveled to Las Vegas for their wedding ceremony. Even though it seemed they wouldn’t make it down the aisle, they eventually tied the knot at Graceland Chapel. In Touch confirmed their wedding took place in February 2020.

During their TLC birth special, the couple revealed Jovi had to report to work shortly after they returned from their wedding. He ended up getting stranded abroad for nearly four months due to border closures amid the coronavirus pandemic, but he made it back by the time Yara was seven months pregnant. The couple enjoyed their gender reveal party together and Jovi supported Yara while she was in the delivery room.

Fit Pregnancy

Fans gushed over how “fab” Yara looked while she was pregnant, and she revealed her secret to staying fit while expecting.

“I had the best pregnancy, the first [three] months was difficult, but then it was easy. All [nine] months I ran 3 or 5 miles every morning (of course, I asked the doctor if it was possible to do sports and he allowed),” she wrote via Instagram.

Babies on the Brain?

When asked if they’re thinking about giving Mylah a sibling any time soon, Yara explained, “I want to have one more child. Just not now. For me, it’s a challenge to be a mom by myself because Jovi’s [gone] most of the time at work. I can’t do two babies by myself, it’s impossible. I don’t have my family here. So I will love to have one more baby, but after.”

Mom and Dad

The couple revealed baby Mylah requires a lot of their attention, “basically 18 out of 24 hours a day.”

Jovi admitted fatherhood is “a lot tougher” than he imagined it would be. “Before, [I thought], ‘OK, having a baby. Put on the TV, they’ll be fine. And you can leave them for a couple of hours.’ That’s obviously not the case, and I understand that now,” he said.

Their daughter does not sleep through the night “at all” and she wakes up for feedings very often.

“I was so oblivious. I had no idea a baby ate every two hours,” Jovi explained. “I was thinking a baby eats three meals a day, just like we do. I had no clue. So we took classes before the pregnancy or during the pregnancy, and just tried to learn the best we could over Zoom. Because that all happened with COVID, we couldn’t take the classes in person.”

Yara is “still” breast-feeding Mylah. She joked that she would like to feed Mylah formula so she can take breaks, their baby “doesn’t want that.”

DIY Maternity Shoot

Yara looked gorgeous in her maternity photos, which she revealed were taken by hers truly!

“I really wanted to do a pregnant photo shoot, but because of the COVID, nothing worked, so I ordered on Amazon, a background, light and a tripod with a remote control, and did the photo shoot myself [laughing with tears emoji],” she wrote via Instagram.
