90 Day Fiancé season 8 aired from 2020-2021, and it’s time to revisit the cast from one of the best reality TV show seasons of all time. 90 Day Fiancé season 8 was perhaps the most unusual of the series yet, as all the couples faced the unique struggles of an international relationship at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Even years later, there’s still curiosity regarding these iconic couples from season 8, mostly because the majority of them dealt with a fascinating level of drama. Even without the pandemic causing strife, many of the couples had legitimate issues.
As per usual, 90 Day Fiancé season 8 brought several couples together and put their relationships to the test as they embarked on the journey towards marriage. Mike Youngquist and Natalie Mordovtseva faced the daunting task of bridging cultural differences and navigating religious beliefs. Meanwhile, Yara Zaya and Jovi Dufren battled the challenges of long-distance relationships, and Brandon Gibbs and Julia Trubkina’s romance was tested by Brandon’s overprotective parents and their traditional lifestyle. With their own personal struggles on top of a global crisis, the stress was overwhelming for the 90DF season 8 cast. Where are all the couples today?
1
Andrew Kenton
Daycare worker Andrew met French-Egyptian Amira online and quickly proposed when she came to the U.S. on a trip to Las Vegas. The pandemic prevented Amira from living with Andrew in the U.S. on a fiancé visa, so the couple hatched a loophole plan to meet in other countries — meetings that were filled with arguments about having children and their future. After such a chaotic season, it is no surprise that Andrew and Amira’s relationship burned out by the end. Andrew has chosen to focus on himself, staying single to the public’s knowledge, and is absent from social media.

Amira Lollyosa
Amira was offered two tickets by the end of 90 Day Fiancé season 8: a ticket to Andrew’s home in California and another back home, with Amira choosing the latter. Amira had a tough time trying to spend time with her fiancé Andrew because their plan to meet in Mexico resulted in her deportation and their trip to Serbia, resulting in an argument where Amira alleged Andrew forced her to have kids with him. Amira now lives in Los Angeles, where she pursues modeling, dancing, and acting. Details about Amira’s immigration status are somewhat unclear, but she seems happy now.

Brandon Gibbs
Virginia native Brandon found future fiancé Julia, from Russia, through online dating sites and proposed to her upon their first formal meeting on a trip to Iceland. Brandon brought Julia back to the U.S. to his parents’ farm and home, where the couple awkwardly shared space with Brandon’s often overbearing parents. By the end of season 8, Brandon and Julia got over their family tensions and married, and have been living together in the U.S. ever since. They have since moved out of Brandon’s parent’s home in the country and live in Richmond, Virginia after their time on reality TV.

Julia Trubkina
At first glance, it seemed that Julia and Brandon, 26 and 27 during 90 Day Fiancé season 8, were too immature to get married. Julia was disappointed in fiancé Brandon’s lack of financial support, as she lived in the U.S. but could not work due to her visa, living with Brandon’s parents. It didn’t help matters any further when Julia frequently butted heads with the family. The couple ultimately matured enough to choose to stay together, and have welcomed a son, Damon. Brandon and Julia are doing well, with Julia focusing on her modeling, motherhood, and her new business.
5
Jovi Dufren
American Jovi met Ukranian resident Yara while traveling through Budapest, and what was meant to be a casual fling ended up with Yara getting pregnant. Jovi proposed so she could live in the U.S. with him. Yara suffered a miscarriage, and Jovi’s underwater robotics job requires frequent travel, so the couple spent much of their time apart, which led to a lot of tension. After season 8 of 90 Day Fiancé wrapped, the couple welcomed a baby in 2020, as shown on Happily Ever After? season 6. Despite their ups and downs, Yara and Jovi are still together.

Yara Zaya
Ukranian native Yara Zaya had a difficult first few months in America. After a tragic pregnancy loss, the couple tried for another pregnancy, which led to a swift Las Vegas wedding that allowed Yara to continue residing in the U.S. before their child was born. The mid-pandemic wedding meant that Yara’s family couldn’t attend the nuptials, and Jovi’s family accused her of using Jovi for a Green Card. Since season 8 wrapped, Yara and Jovi welcomed a daughter, Mylah. While their issues have been aired on The Last Resort, Yara and Jovi seem secure in their relationship in 2026.
7
Mike Youngquist
Mike and Natalie were initially cast members on 90 Day Fiancé season 7, having met when a mutual friend asked them to be godparents to their baby. Season 7 ended with Mike’s split with the Ukranian native after some serious tension abroad, and season 8 saw an awkward reconciliation when Mike’s mother came to visit, as the couple remained engaged despite constant fighting and no real marriage plans. Unsurprisingly, Mike and Natalie’s tumultuous relationship didn’t seem to last, and Mike finally filed for divorce from Natalie. He’s in a healthy new relationship, and welcomed a daughter early in 2026.

Natalie Mordovtseva
In 90 Day Fiancé season 8, Natalie had a tough time. The Ukrainian citizen faced Visa travel troubles due to the pandemic, and Mike called off their wedding just days before, meaning she could no longer legally stay in the country. Surprisingly for viewers, the couple did get married in time for the reunion episode. Natalie has since started dating again and has appeared on 90 Day Fiancé: The Single Life, as well as the 90 Day Diaries series on HBO Max. She is pursuing modeling and acting, remaining solidly in the spotlight.

Rebecca Parott
Rebecca met Zied, a man 22 years her junior, online, and the spinoff 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days followed Rebecca on her journey, meeting him in Tunisia for the first time. She had been known for Photoshopping her online pictures, but the real Rebecca didn’t put off Zied, and they traveled to her native Georgia before getting married. The former 90 Day Fiancé couple are still together, and Rebecca has continued her private detective career. She is a dedicated mother to her child from a previous marriage.

Zied Hakimi
When Zied came to Rebecca’s native Georgia in the U.S., he was not met with open arms by Rebecca’s daughter and her other family and friends. Rebecca’s peers suspected that the much younger Zied only wanted her for a Green Card. Zied was no stranger to controversy, as he attempted to control what Rebecca wore and tried to rush the wedding due to his religious views. Zied, still married to Rebecca, has settled into his new life in the US. Now able to gain employment from his visa, he works in a furniture store and is stepdad to Rebecca’s daughter.
