Both Steven and Olga recently conducted Q&A sessions via Instagram Stories, and fans asked about the current status of their relationship.
In screenshots of the Q&A obtained by @90DayFianceUpdate earlier this week, Steven and Olga revealed they're no longer an item.
A fan asked Olga, "Are you and Steven still together?"
Olga replied, "I know you have been asking this question a lot. Here is the answer: No, we are not together. New chapter."
Meanwhile, an Instagram user asked Steven, "Are you separated from Olga?"
Steven responded, "That was fast. But yes, I've decided to put an end to our relationship and put our children first."
Steven therefore implied he had been the one to break up with Olga.
"She's a great mom but I couldn't be [in] our relationship anymore," Steven continued in his answer.
"There's obviously more context and I'll share it in time when I'm ready. You all ask this so often and deserve an answer."
Steven concluded, "I appreciate everyone who supported us."

Just three months after exchanging vows, Olga was spotted without her wedding ring on and she told her social media followers in November 2019 that their relationship was "too complicated" to publicly discuss.

After only one year of marriage, Steven confirmed in October 2020 that he and Olga had a "civil" and "no drama" split. Steven went on to delete all photos of his wife from his Instagram account.
Steven said at the time co-parenting their son Alex, now 6, would remain his top priority.
However, Steven and Olga later reconciled and agreed to work on their relationship. They got off to a fresh start by moving to New York City in 2021.
Olga and Steven then announced in March 2022 that they were expecting their second child together.
Steven told In Touch Weekly that the pregnancy was "not expected" and it threw off the couple "completely."

"We were really surprised when we found out [about Baby No. 2] because our relationship has been kind of rocky and will require attention so we're considering therapy for an outside opinion, but I know we will get through this!" Steven told In Touch in 2022.
"With having a new baby, we most likely will stay in New York for maybe two more years, then move to the Bay Area in California to be closer to Olga's family that lives in the states -- get a nice house there and settle down."
On September 23, 2022, Steven and Olga announced via Instagram Stories they had welcomed another baby boy into the world.
Steven had met Olga in Summer 2017 in Maryland when she was on a work/travel visa, and they had a six-week fling.
Just a few days before Olga's visa was about to expire, Olga found out she was pregnant with Baby No. 1.
Steven said learning he was going to be a father was "a holy sh-t moment" for him.
Olga had to return to Russia about a week after learning she was pregnant, but Steven suggested they should get married and have her return to America on a K-1 visa.
When Olga was waiting for her K-1 visa to be approved, Steven claimed he had applied for it and the paperwork must have been delayed.
However, 90 Day Fiance viewers witnessed Steven eventually admit to Olga that he had lied to her. Steven didn't actually apply for the K-1 visa until after traveling to Russia to witness Alex's birth.
Once Steven confessed the truth to Olga on Season 6 of 90 Day Fiance, she appeared to take the news surprisingly well and quickly forgave him.
In April 2019, Steven announced Olga's visa had been approved and she would be arriving in the United States shortly.
"Now we only need the plane tickets. I had to leave Russia without Olga early or I was going to lose my job," Steven explained on Instagram at the time.

Olga hinted she was finally in the United States on Instagram in June 2019 when she complained about not being used to the humidity, and Steven subsequently confirmed she had arrived on June 24 of that year by posting a family photo at the Annapolis City Dock in Maryland.
Olga's visa gave her 90 days to wed Steven or else she would have to return to Russia.
The couple therefore got married in a Maryland courthouse ceremony late August 2019, and they showed off their marriage certificate on social media.
The couple lived at Steven's grandparents' house for about two years, and then they moved to New York City, where the couple struggled with finances and communication.
Steven apparently moved out for a little bit, but their separation didn't last once Olga discovered she was pregnant again. Steven therefore moved back in with his wife.
"We realized that we love each other and we really want to work on us," Olga noted during a June 2022 episode of 90 Day Diaries.
Steven was about to start a new job as a floor manager at a new hotel restaurant, and Olga just hoped Steven was really serious about being committed to her and going to therapy as a couple.
Meanwhile, Steven told his friend Dom how things were "awkward" at home sometimes and maybe he and Olga were trying too hard and forcing things.
"I think if we can get through this, our relationship is going to be stronger than it's ever been. But a part of me does feel like I need to be more realistic and start preparing for all possibilities," Steven explained in a confessional.
