Mike Youngquist from the 90 Day Fiancé franchise is now full of joy and glowing after officially ending his relationship with Natalie Mordovtseva. The man from Washington originally met his former Ukrainian partner through a mutual friend, and quickly decided to pursue a relationship with her. Unfortunately, their journey together didn't go smoothly. After Natalie moved to the United States to marry Mike, she wasn't pleased with his lifestyle and the amount of time he spent working. Nonetheless, Natalie and Mike went ahead and got married in 90 Day Fiancé season 8.
Natalie decided to run away from Mike a few months after their wedding. She couldn't deal with all their differences and decided to pursue someone worthy of being her baby's daddy. While Natalie returned to 90 Day: The Single Life, Mike avoided reality TV. He made a few guest appearances in the spin-off and helped Natalie's mom to come to the United States. In 2023, Natalie tried her luck with Mike one last time because of her failing relationship with Josh Weinstein. However, Mike didn't reconcile with her and sent her divorce papers.
