Ukrainian beauty Natalie Mordovtseva came to the United States hoping that she and her fiance, Mike Youngquist, would be two of the lucky ones who would have a love story that would stand the test of time. The couple began sharing their story on ‘90 Day Fiance’ in 2019 and they returned for another season in 2020. 

Although the couple initially seemed like a good match, it didn’t take long for viewers to realize that there were several difficulties in the foundation of their relationship. Those cracks only became more apparent when Natalie came to the United States. It seems like there is no end in sight for this couple's issues.

In the latest episode, we caught Mordovtseva desperately hunting for her engagement ring — the one she threw in Youngquist's suitcase when he was leaving her home in Ukraine after the couple had an ugly fight. She maintained an uncomfortable silence when asked if she loved Youngquist.



 

Natalie and Mike’s journey started when they met through mutual friends while Mike was on a trip to Ukraine.

After becoming a reality TV star, she is trying to capitalize on her newfound popularity through a YouTube channel where she shares videos about her life. At the moment, the channel only has 252 subscribers.

Like everyone else who comes to the United States on a K1 Visa, there is a long period of time where Natalie couldn't work. As a result, viewers haven’t really gotten to get a glimpse into her professional life. But according to her Instagram bio though, she is a journalist.

Staying in great shape has always been one of Natalie’s top priorities. When she initially moved to the United States, she struggled with Mike’s lack of healthy food choices. While she may not have been able to follow her usual diet, she was still able to incorporate exercise into her routine.



 


Anyone who has been following Natalie and Mike’s relationship since the beginning knows that it’s been anything but rainbows and butterflies. We’ll all have to wait until the end of the season to see how things pan out between the couple. There is some evidence to suggest the couple got married in March of 2020. Even if they are legally married, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re still together.

Both Youngquist and Mordovtseva have been married before, although not much is known about their partners. Recently, '90 Day' information Instagram page @90daythemelanatedway shared photos of Mordovtseva's ex-husband and photos from their wedding.

The caption on the post reads: "Natalie News Alert Pictures of Natalie’s ex husband have surfaced. A source tells me that he’s Cyprian. Apparently, he & Natalie lived in Cyprus during their marriage & that when he filed for bankruptcy, she left him and moved back to Ukraine. (Swipe through)."



 

Seeing that Youngquist is currently under a heavy debt himself, we're almost seeing a pattern here. Mordovtseva has mentioned that she doesn't want to go through a divorce again and wants to prioritize herself first. But seeing that Youngquist is putting off the wedding and having children due to his financial situation, this might prove to be a deal-breaker for him too.

People who watch ‘90 Day Fiance’ closely may have noticed that Natalie’s mother often refers to her as Natasha. Since there are several other people on the show who use different names, it’s not that alarming. However, no explanation has ever been given as to why she is sometimes referred to as Natasha.

According to Screen Rant, “It’s probably what’s known as the diminutive name. In Russian and Ukraine and probably other Slavic languages, the diminutive name (like a nickname), Natasha is the diminutive for Natalie or Natalya.”
