90 Day Fiance couple Tarik Myers and Hazel Cagalitan have given the impression they've reconciled after spending New Year's Eve together.

Hazel suggested she and Tarik had split last month when she accused him of mental and emotional abuse on her Instagram account, and then Tarik publicly announced he still loved Hazel and didn't want a divorce.

It now appears Tarik has won his estranged wife back or their relationship troubles have dissolved.
"When all negativity gets left in 2021, 2022 be like," Hazel, 29, captioned a Saturday TikTok video of herself dancing wildly and playfully with Tarik, 47.

Hazel and her husband were all smiles as they posed and performed for the camera, and she added, "Happy New Year Everyone."
In the TikTok video, Tarik counted down from five using his fingers while hiding behind Hazel. The countdown ended with Tarik revealing himself and Hazel celebrating.
Tarik had initially hinted his marriage to Hazel was over in early December 2021.
"Hazel does not live with me anymore. She said she is [in] another state with people I don't know," Tarik wrote on Instagram at the time.
"She is going back to the Philippines. I do know that bc she has no choice. No matter what happened, I ask that you viewers and bloggers leave her alone."

Tarik had added, "Please do not attack her or harass her like you've been doing for the last 3 years. #90dayfiance... Hazel. Use your head."
Hazel proceeded to change her Instagram bio into a strongly-worded message presumably directed at Tarik.
"A real man won't abuse his women mentally & emotionally. [A] real man won't run his mouth [on] social media," Hazel wrote at the top of her profile the day after Tarik's revelation.

Hazel had insisted the truth will "prevail" and she was telling the "facts," before posting a series of inspirational and spiritual quotes and advice on her Instagram Stories about women empowerment and how it's okay to be alone.

Tarik went on to upload a screenshot of Hazel's Instagram profile that same day and argue in a since-deleted post, "Not true and you know it. I still will not bash you or air out your personal life," according to Us Weekly.
He subsequently told the magazine that Hazel had "never, ever, ever said that she felt abused in any way."
"We had arguments and disagreements like everybody else, but everything I have ever done or ever said to Hazel was 100 percent out of love. She would agree with that," Tarik claimed in December.
"Now, you know, if she felt like I was abusive in tone or in nature, I mean, I definitely would apologize for that to her, and I don't want to minimize what somebody else feels."
Tarik had concluded that if Hazel truly felt "mentally or emotionally abused" by him then "it absolutely was not intentional by me."

In a mid-December interview with Us, Tarik had made it clear that he didn't want his relationship with Hazel to end.
"If I could talk to her right now, I would tell her, 'I love you more than anybody alive. No. 2, I absolutely do not want a divorce,'" he had lamented.
"I absolutely do not want her to leave," Tarik had insisted of Hazel, who has a son Harrey living in the Philippines. "I absolutely want to build our family like we've planned since the very beginning."

Tarik, who has a nine-year-old daughter Ari from a previous relationship, had revealed how he and Hazel did not "have any open lines of communication" at that time but the situation was "not by choice" on his end.
Tarik had said he "never wanted any of this" to happen and had no idea Hazel "was going to leave" him.
"I still don't know if her leaving was meant to be permanent [or] if it was meant to be temporary," Tarik explained at the time.
"[I wonder] if this was her way of trying to get my attention, saying, 'You're not hearing me, you're not listening to me. You're going to listen to me now because I'm going to disappear.'"
As for what went wrong -- considering they seemed to have a healthy marriage for years -- Tarik had suggested it was a combination of small things.
"There wasn't a big blow-up fight," Tarik told the magazine in December.
"Hazel and I talked about some issues that we have talked about many, many, many times. She felt one way about these issues, and I felt another way about these issues. We disagreed on what we should do."

Tarik had declined to provide specifics on the demise of his relationship other than saying it involved "the betterment of the whole entire family."
Tarik and Hazel found fame when they initially starred on Season 2 of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days, followed by Season 8 of 90 Day Fiance.

Before the 90 Days showed Tarik attempting to court a seemingly shy and reserved single mom from a poor area in Manila as well as win over her family's approval.
At the time 90 Day Fiance's eighth season filmed in 2020, Tarik and Hazel had been together for two years and Hazel finally got approved for a K-1 visa.
Once Hazel moved to America to be with her man, she and Tarik experienced their fair share of ups and downs.
Hazel, who admittedly wanted a girlfriend on the side of her relationship with Tarik, got very jealous of a woman named Minty from Thailand once the couple invited her into their bed.
Hazel called off the love triangle and asked Tarik never to communicate with Minty again, but Tarik apparently slipped up on more than one occasion and so Hazel lost trust in him.
However, Tarik and Hazel had love at the core of their relationship and so they decided to get married amid the coronavirus pandemic in June 2020.
Tarik and Hazel's small wedding ceremony aired the following year on 90 Day Fiance's eighth season in March 2021.
Hazel and Tarik continued to post sweet Instagram messages and photos of each other for months after tying the knot, and so it appears the pair had briefly split some time after September 2021.

On September 6, for instance, Tarik had posted about "Tarzel" and written, "Your haters are really your friends." Based on some of the post's comments, Tarik had led his followers to believe he and Hazel were still together at the time.
And back in late July, Tarik had posted a video of Hazel and himself dancing and having fun at a concert.
Tarik had also gushed about Hazel on June 6, which marked the couple's one-year wedding anniversary.
"[Four] years ago, I did the unthinkable. A year ago today, I made the best decision of my life. It seems like yesterday. Hazel arrived 2 weeks before the governor shut Virginia down bc of Covid. She has rolled with every punch the pandemic has thrown us," Tarik wrote at the time.
Tarik had called Hazel "an incredible, thoughtful, real, beautiful soul," and continued, "Hazel has never clambered for TV cameras or the spotlight. Stays out of the '90' social media sewer blogs no matter how much a response is warranted."
Tarik also noted how Hazel had made Ari's life "exponentially" better by being her mother figure.

"No one has to know why we chose each other but us," Tarik had shared. "Happy 1st Anniversary Mrs. Myers. #Tarzel."
Prior to her TikTok video, Hazel's latest post with Tarik was on June 25, when the pair had posed for a photo with a friend and flashed peace signs at the camera.
