On Season 7 of 90 Day Fiance, Mike and Natalie discovered they had major differences during a trip Mike had taken to Ukraine while they waited for Natalie's K-1 visa to be approved.
Natalie said she wanted to have children right away and is a religious vegetarian, while Mike was hoping to save money for a while and revealed he's an atheist meat-eater.
The couple also had a blowout fight when Natalie decided to give her engagement ring back to Mike, saying she wasn't in love with him anymore. Mike was apparently left feeling confused and "lost."
On the Tell-All special, Natalie also accused Mike of cheating on her with his best female friend, Sarah. Mike, however, insisted his relationship with Sarah has always been innocent and platonic, and Sarah later backed Mike up on that.
Season 8 of 90 Day Fiance then featured Natalie moving to America on her K-1 visa and struggling to feel comfortable in Mike's home in the middle of the woods. She apparently hated being a "basic housewife" and lashed out at Mike from time to time when she felt ignored.
Natalie once called Mike overweight and a "low-class drunk," and Mike in turn felt constantly disrespected. He even told Natalie at one point that her beauty was "ugly" if she fails to act beautiful on the inside.
However, love was at the root of the couple's relationship, and so Mike eventually decided to give Natalie her engagement ring back and help her plan their wedding.
But Mike came down with a serious case of cold feet on his April 2020 wedding day and decided to call the whole thing off. Natalie therefore insisted her relationship was "over" three days before her K-1 visa was set to expire.
In order to not lose Natalie, however, Mike quickly had a change of heart and decided to go forward with tying the knot.
During the Season 8 Tell-All special, Natalie appeared angry and wasn't wearing her engagement ring again. She claimed she had left the ring at home so it wouldn't get stolen -- which more than half of the Season 8 cast didn't believe.

Natalie and Mike's mother Trish were also add odds because Trish owned up to asking Mike's neighbor Tamara to object to Mike and Natalie's wedding. Trish thought her son's marriage was just "a mess" and that Natalie was "sketchy."

On the sixth-season premiere of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, Mike admitted he felt like nothing he ever did for Natalie was good enough, and she wondered if he was taking their marriage seriously.
Natalie fought with Mike on his birthday about a woman allegedly sending him a picture of her breasts, but she eventually apologized for bringing up the past on a day of celebration.
Mike joked that Natalie was like "a sour patch kid" in that she's sour and then sweet in the end. He was glad Natalie "recognized her faults" from the previous night and would attempt to stop picking fights.
Mike knew, however, he had another hill to climb considering Natalie and his mother Trish were about to reunite and spend some time together in Oklahoma, which turned out to be a pretty tense time.
Trish pushed Natalie's buttons in Oklahoma right away by bringing up her desire for grandkids quickly and suggesting Natalie should get a job as a language interpreter. Trish also poked the bear by telling Natalie she should take on more responsibilities and chores in the home.
And Natalie rubbed Trish the wrong way by saying she wanted to pursue a career in acting, modeling and writing and felt unfulfilled in Sequim.

"She's been very judgmental about my goals, my career, my life," Natalie noted. "It's really difficult... Mike better stand up for me, because I don't feel like staying there and keep being insulted... I would never treat a houseguest like this."
On Thanksgiving day, Natalie also told Mike that Trish had allegedly called her "a hooker" while they were cooking dinner together.
Mike didn't believe his mother had called Natalie that word and that maybe Natalie had taken something out of context or misunderstood an exchange.
Trish called Natalie "a child" in a confessional and said it didn't seem like Natalie and Mike were made for each other in the long run.
When Natalie and Mike were about to leave Oklahoma, Natalie wasn't in the best mood. Her mother had apparently advised her to stop talking to Trish since Trish had allegedly insulted Natalie.

Mike called Natalie "rude" and "a child," and Trish claimed she had no recollection of how she might have offended Natalie.
"I'm the big, bad Mommy!" Trish said with a laugh.
Natalie said she was "too high" to repeat the inappropriate things Trish had said, which made Mike even more frustrated because Natalie had no evidence to back up her allegations.
Natalie snapped that she just wanted to leave, and Mike called Natalie "ridiculous" and "disrespectful." Trish then recommended that Mike give Natalie $5,000 and then send her back to Ukraine.
Trish lamented about how Natalie always threw a temper tantrum and had to change. Trish said she wasn't going to walk on eggshells around Natalie.
It was a silent ride to the airport in Oklahoma, and Mike barked at Natalie to get her head out of her ass. Natalie felt like Trish was Mike's priority and she could say or do whatever she wanted and get away with it.

Mike couldn't believe that Natalie wouldn't even say goodbye to Trish or thank her for being able to stay at her house.
"I think when we get home, I need to look at my life and re-evaluate myself and Natalie. I need to figure sh-t out," Mike said.
Once the pair returned to Mike's home, Mike called Natalie's behavior in Oklahoma "disappointing," but he said he wanted to move on because a discussion with Natalie never really got them anywhere.
Natalie, on the other hand, said she was pissed off that Mike didn't want to talk about things.
Natalie told Mike that Trish basically didn't raise her son in the good and proper way, and Mike heard he's a bad child and Trish is a bad mom out of that, which really upset and frustrated him.
Mike yelled at Natalie and asked her to stop putting Trish down and "saying stupid sh-t."
Natalie shouted that she was going to continue to fight for what she wants out of life, including her career. But Mike explained how respect is earned and not automatically given.

Mike said that Natalie didn't listen to anyone and she stepped all over everyone, including himself.
Natalie argued, however, she wasn't about to step over her "morals," which Mike said didn't make any sense to him. Mike added that Natalie disrespecting his mother was simply "uncalled for" and that's all there was to it.
Natalie insisted she had definitely heard Trish say "hooker" very clearly, but she felt the need to apologize to Mike so they could move on and stop fighting. Natalie apparently chose to forgive Trish but not forget.

So are Mike and Natalie still together and married now or did the 90 Day Fiance couple split up and divorce?
According to online records, Mike and Natalie tied the knot in Clallam County, Washington on April 15, 2020, In Touch Weekly reported.But the couple's marriage apparently didn't last a full year.
Mike's Uncle Beau Lawrence, 51, told In Touch in late March 2021 that Mike and Natalie had recently separated.
Not only is there no trace of Natalie on Mike's Instagram account and vice versa, but Beau told the magazine at the time, "[Natalie] has not been home for a couple of months now. She can stay away for all I care."
When asked if he believes Mike and Natalie's relationship is over for good, Beau replied, "I'm really hoping so. I pray to God, yes."

Natalie appeared to confirm her split from Mike on April 27, 2021 by sharing a link on Instagram Stories asking her followers to vote her onto the cover of Maxim magazine, In Touch reported.
In the original biographical information she posted on her voting page, Natalie hinted at her breakup with Mike by listing herself as a cast member of 90 Day: The Single Life, the new 90 Day Fiance spinoff which features single or divorced former 90 Day Fiance stars searching for love and navigating post-relationship life.
However, Natalie has since deleted the 90 Day: The Single Life mention.
It appears Natalie may have signed on to an as-of-yet unannounced second season of the new spinoff.
Natalie described herself as "an actress and reality TV star" in her bio blurb and also listed the other 90 Day Fiance spinoffs she has appeared on.
"I wrote a book about life in [the] U.S.," Natalie also wrote in the bio -- an apparent reference to her previously announced plans to write a tell-all book.

"Mikey and I are having fun again now that I'm single too. That's right, well there's more fish in the sea," Beau told In Touch.
The guys apparently enjoyed a boys' night out in which they had a barbecue, drank beers and sat by a bonfire.
"Live life to the fullest. Everyday is a great day to live. #life#saturdayvibes #bondfire#goodfood#friendsandfamily#90daysfiance," Mike captioned two video clips on Saturday, one of which showed his new husky dog that Natalie has also posed with on her own Instagram account.
And 90 Day Fiance Instagrammer John Yates reported on June 2, 2021 that Mike was spotted out with a different blonde woman.
"Looks like Mike has a new girl in his life and when I asked if they were just friends I was told they definitely looked like a couple -- good for him I guess," John captioned his post.

John apparently posted a message he had received from an alleged eyewitness claiming to have seen Mike with "a lean, thin girl with blonde hair" while hiking in Washington, where Mike lives.
"The area is secluded, danger signs and warning of trespassing on the side they were on," the person wrote to John. "To my surprise, [the] blonde smiled as we approached and said something about taking the more dangerous path [because it] makes [for] the best adventures."
This person said Mike and the blonde woman dangled their legs over a cliff and were "nice and friendly."
In mid-June, Natalie actually revealed that she dumped and left Mike "abruptly and permanently" because their marriage had apparently reached the point where he was annoying her.
Natalie took to Instagram and posted a lengthy message to her followers with the title, "Sunsets Are Not Promised For Two."

"I ended my relationship abruptly and permanently."
Natalie revealed she had left Mike's home in Sequim and their relationship "for nowhere."

"I didn't really think about what society and family would say. I just understood it was impossible for me to be there, and the love that lifted me yesterday is destroying me today," Natalie explained.
"I don't understand how you can kiss a man if you don't want him anymore; if everything within your soul has cooled to the point you feel nothing when he looks at you."
Natalie wrote that "everything should be delightful" in a relationship, which should include "tasty conversations, and exchanges of energy and humor, and divine secrets, only for the two of you, through contact of inner worlds."
"Relationships should be a beautiful game that you want to play, and not a burdensome errand to pull, simply for convenience' sake," Natalie continued in her Sunday Instagram post.
"If you have become for each other something like a family -- it's a pity to throw it away. Pushing problems behind you is not convenient. If you don't want to meet your golden years old age with a painful feeling of regret, you cannot become complacent."
Natalie went on to compare a relationship to a "nine-course meal."
"You certainly never want to say: 'I'm forced, used to it, comfortable.' We live as we choose. I can't stand everyday life, in all its manifestations; I just can't stand it. For me, every day is like a miracle, and my world is very emotional and creative, there is no place for routine in it," Natalie shared.

"I sincerely believe if you feel bad today, you need to change something. Why meet a beautiful sunset with unfulfilled dreams, hopes or wishes? Every moment of life is a gift, and is no sunset is promised #sunset #story #ladyandacat," the Ukraine native wrote.
But back in Spring 2020, it seemed Mike and Natalie's relationship was going strong after their wedding.
In June 2020, Natalie reportedly posted a photo of herself cuddling up to Mike by the water and she wrote, "This is how we spend our time together #90dayfiance #natalie90dayfiance #nataliemordovtseva #mike90dayfiance #mikeyoungquist #love #couple #couplegoals."
But in August 2020, Natalie reportedly wiped her Instagram clean, and around that same time, Mike deleted an account and created a new one.
Natalie's Instagram mainly just shows modeling photos and selfies now.
