90 Day Fiancé: Is Natalie Mordovtseva Facing Deportation? Shocking Update on Her Divorce from Mike Youngquist

Rumors Surrounding Natalie Mordovtseva’s Deportation Amid Franchise Comeback

Amid her return to the reality TV franchise in 90 Day: The Last Resort, speculation is rampant over Natalie Mordovtseva, a popular star of 90 Day Fiancé, facing possible deportation. Having originated from Kyiv, Ukraine, Natalie lived with her mother prior to her relationship with Mike Youngquist. Their paths crossed through mutual friends who appointed them as godparents to their child, leading to Mike’s initial impression that Natalie was out of his league, given her background as a model and actress. Excited by the prospect of moving to Las Vegas, Natalie’s hopes were high as she and Mike began communicating.

Sadly, plans changed when Mike purchased his family’s Christmas tree farm in Washington, relocating before the filming of season 7. This decision plunged him into debt, which he used as a reason to reject Natalie’s dream of starting a family. After going through a complex application process, Natalie finally received her K-1 visa. Fast forward five years, and Natalie and Mike are no longer together. She is currently trying to navigate a relationship with her new boyfriend, Josh Weinstein, while participating in couples therapy. This raises the question: is it time for Natalie to return to Ukraine?

Natalie’s Arrival in the U.S.

Five Years in America

In January 2020, Soapdirt reported that Natalie had officially arrived in the United States, as seen at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Mike eagerly awaited her arrival, flowers in hand, surrounded by the TLC film crew. Images shared by FraudedMedia highlighted this momentous occasion, capturing the excitement of Natalie’s entry into the U.S. These scenes were set to be featured in season 8 of 90 Day Fiancé.

However, upon her arrival, it quickly became apparent that Mike and Natalie’s relationship was fraught with tension. Throughout season 8, their disagreements were evident, including resentments stemming from past incidents like Natalie discarding her engagement ring and accusations about infidelity. A photo shared by FraudedMedia displayed the couple walking hand-in-hand through Seattle’s Pike Place Market, signaling an attempt at reconciliation despite their ongoing challenges.

Natalie and Mike’s Wedding

The Threat of Deportation

Despite their rocky beginnings, Natalie and Mike planned to tie the knot, but the path was not smooth. Following their couples therapy sessions, Natalie discovered Mike’s lack of genuine affection for her, resulting in the wedding being postponed. With her K-1 visa set to expire in just two days, Natalie experienced a sense of urgency in her situation, especially during the chaotic early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fortunately, with the clock ticking, Mike had a change of heart and married Natalie on April 15, 2020, just hours before her visa would have lapsed. This marriage brought brief happiness, and they settled in Sequim, Washington. However, Natalie soon found herself yearning for a more vibrant life, fueled by aspirations of a television and modeling career—dreams she felt would remain unfulfilled in their quiet rural surroundings.

The End of Their Marriage

Natalie’s Search for Happiness

Deciding to prioritize her own happiness, Natalie left Mike just six months after their wedding. Her move to Florida symbolized a quest for her independence and a chance to pursue her dreams. Compounding issues stemmed from Mike’s mother, Trish, whose interference led to significant conflict during a visit to Oklahoma, with accusations flying both ways that fueled Natalie’s discontent.

During a transitional phase, Natalie briefly sought refuge with a friend before eventually relocating entirely to Florida, where she met Josh at a modeling workshop. As their relationship blossomed, so did Natalie’s desire to move to California, though tensions arose regarding Josh’s reluctance to fully commit.

Natalie’s Current Status

The Uncertain Future of Natalie and Mike

Natalie’s time in Florida was short-lived, and her subsequent move to California solidified her intentions as she starred in season 4 of The Single Life. However, Natalie remains in a precarious situation regarding her immigration status, as she has yet to sign the divorce papers from Mike. Aware that doing so could jeopardize her residency, she has managed to delay the proceedings, opting to maintain her green card status and build a life with Josh. As July 2024 approaches, sources suggest that she has not yet finalized her divorce—if she can successfully wait out this period, she may be closing in on applying for U.S. citizenship by her fifth wedding anniversary with Mike in 2025.

90 Day: The Last Resort airs Mondays at 9 p.m. EST on TLC.
