Tania and Syngin met in South Africa when Tania took a spontaneous trip there to meet another guy whom she had met on a dating app.
After her date failed to impress, Tania ditched him in the middle of the night and headed to a local bar, where she lusted for Syngin, who worked as a bartender at the time.

Tania and Syngin thought their romance was going to be a one-night stand, but they spent more time together, and Tania said she fell in love after four days and therefore decided to extend her trip in South Africa.
Syngin then moved to America on a K-1 visa and reunited with Tania in a New York airport. After sightseeing, the couple moved into Tania's mother's "she shed" behind her home in Connecticut.
As Tania and Syngin got to know each other better, they realized a lot of their goals for the future didn't exactly line up.
Tania told Syngin that she'd be willing to wait only three years to have their first child, but Syngin said he'd prefer waiting 7-10 more years in order to travel together and have fun.
Tania also said she wanted to pump out one kid after the next, so Syngin had his fair share of doubts about getting married and whether they were really a perfect match.

"I couldn't be with someone who doesn't want to have kids. I live to have kids, but I also know that I get my way," Tania said in a confessional on 90 Day Fiance's seventh season.

Syngin also complained Tania had a "controlling personality," adding, "It's almost like you wrote the story and I'm just a character in it."
Tania then traveled to Costa Rica for three weeks in order to learn herbalism. She took a month-long course about natural medicine and natural remedies so she could start her own business with Syngin.
Syngin was left alone with Tania's mother and found himself incredibly bored while his fiancee was away, and Syngin often picked fights with Tania over her failure to call and communicate with him after a night out of partying.

Syngin admittedly felt "a little abandoned" and didn't think Tania's actions showed that she loved and cared for him.
"I came here. I have changed my whole life around. You have not changed much about your life at all," Syngin said over FaceTime. "Do you want a boyfriend who doesn't care?"
"You're not my father," Tania complained, saying that she needed more breathing room. "I love that you care... but I can't give you everything that you need."
Once Tania returned home, she and Syngin fought about how he wasn't actively working to pursue his many goals for a life in the United States.
Syngin said he didn't have the money to take classes yet, but Tania wanted the self-proclaimed free spirit to be more focused and responsible considering he had dreamed of being a fireman, policeman or even a woodworker.

The pair also later fought when Tania confessed she didn't feel like Syngin was her soul mate. Tania believed her first love was actually her soul mate, unless a person can have more than one, and Syngin was left feeling sad, stressed out and depressed.
"I don't even really know what I'm doing here right now. I feel bad," Syngin told Tania of being in America, adding that he worried they weren't "compatible."
But Tania apologized and was certain Syngin was The One for her, so the couple decided to go through with a wedding in Connecticut by renting an Air BnB with a big backyard decorated with candles and flowers.
The pair symbolically connected their love through matching tattoos instead of rings. They both had the Sagittarius symbol tattooed on their left hand's ring finger to represent travel and the power of their relationship.
On Season 5 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, which premiered June 14, Tania's foot was in a cast because she had broken a toe bone in a car accident.
After their wedding, Tania and Syngin apparently considered moving away from Connecticut since Syngin would prefer a warmer climate and being near the beach, but then the accident happened. Since Tania has health care in Connecticut, she wanted to stay at home in order to continue her physical therapy.
However, the couple found a new place, a house, to move into, and Syngin joked he and Tania would have multiple rooms in which to have sex.

Tania, who had to stop bartending temporarily because of her foot, got Syngin's work permit expedited, and so Tania said they'd be fine as long as Syngin could find a job and make money for them.
Tania thought her accident happened for a reason because it meant she and Syngin would stick around in Connecticut for a while longer, but Tania's mother was worried all of the responsibility was going to fall on Syngin's shoulders.

Syngin knew their financial situation was going to put a lot of pressure on him and their relationship.
Later on, Tania and Syngin discussed Syngin's career as a bartender, and Tania pointed out Syngin drank before and after work, and so she worried he'd get drunk too often. Tania said Syngin lost his motorcycle before and made mistakes while drinking.
Tania admitted Syngin's drinking "raised a lot of red flags" with her and it was one of her biggest issues with her husband. Syngin, however, snapped, "If I want to have a beer, I'll have a beer!... But I'm not going to sabotage my chance of working in the states."
Tania said she didn't want to be let down, but Syngin made it known he wasn't going to screw up. Syngin said he wanted his wife to trust him and take him seriously.
Syngin later had an interview to bartend at an Irish pub, but it didn't go that well because he didn't have much experience making cocktails or pouring a Guinness beer.

Syngin assured the owner, Leo Roche of the Harp & Hound, he'd be on time, dress properly, smell good, and work hard -- but it didn't seem to be enough.
Meanwhile, Tania visited her doctor, an orthopedic surgeon, for a checkup. Tania's foot was aligning well and not showing any signs of arthritis, but she had a lot of bruising in her knee and was told arthritis could develop over time.
Tania was informed she had to wait six to 12 weeks before trying to get a job as a bartender. The doctor told Tania, in fact, she may never be able to bartend again since the job is for someone who has to be on his or her feet all day with a lot of walking.
Tania couldn't believe the bad news and realized she was going to have to rely on Syngin more than she ever expected.
Later that night, Syngin returned home from the bar, and Tania was upset because he seemed drunk. He also wasn't really listening to or comprehending what Tania was saying when she spoke of her doctor's appointment.
"I'm not concerned that Syngin is going to drink every single moment. It's the fact I couldn't really be vulnerable with Syngin, and so my patience is starting to run thin because I don't feel acknowledged all the time, and it really hurts and it sucks," Tania told the cameras.

In a trailer released in May for the rest of the 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? season, Tania was showing telling Syngin, "If we have kids, I definitely want to raise them out here in the states."

"You want me to come here and build a family but you don't even recognize me as your soul mate," Syngin replied.
So did Syngin and Tania work through their issues and are they still together or has the 90 Day Fiance couple called it quits?
Tania made it clear on July 7 that she and Syngin are still married and together when discussing their upcoming one-year wedding anniversary.Along with a throwback photo from their wedding, Tania wrote in the caption, "Our wedding aired last night in #Italy. Fitting because @syngin_colchester and I are looking into options for our 1 year anniversary celebration."
"Tag below your favorite hotel, bed & breakfast, Inn, glamping, Yurt, tree house, orday boat rentals in New England... #90dayfiance #90dayhappilyeverafter #anniversary #newenglandfineliving #airbnb #taniaandsyngin #travelwithme #TravelWithT #TravelWithTania #newengland #beachrental #lakehouserental," she added.

And on that same day, Tania revealed she and Syngin went out for pizza and will "def be going" to the same place again.
"We also matched by accident and I couldn't have been more disgustingly cheesy happy about it," Tania wrote in the caption in Instagram, before asking people to wear their masks when out in public amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

In a June 21 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Syngin said he and Tania were "doing well," and Tania shared they're still living in Connecticut "in our new place."
"We are both in a good place of mind and have a good mindset," Syngin said after he and Tania both declined to confirm flat out whether they're still together.
"We're doing good!... We are quarantining together," Tania added.

As the interview progressed, Tania let down her guard a little bit more and dropped major hints she and Syngin are still a married couple.
"I definitely know our souls were destined to cross paths... Do I see myself with you forever? I do! And do I see you being the father of my children? I do! And do I see us being old and cranky together waiting for kids to come home on the bus? I do," Tania gushed.
"If relationships were built only on love, we'd have the best relationship ever. But we're two individual people with our own habits, likes, dislikes, minds and thoughts. And if we can blend all of that together, then we'll see."
On the topic of having kids, Tania said she'd like to start planning for the future but doesn't want to pressure Syngin to have babies at the same time.
"I'd like to plan that with my husband," Tania said, confirming she's still Syngin's wife.
The couple also aren't shy about showing their feelings for one another on Instagram.

And Tania posted a picture with Syngin on May 25 in which they were camping and dubbed themselves "nature lovers."
"After being here for a day, walking around some, no one recognized us and felt kinda good. Then.. late at night we hear 'Good night Tania and Syngin!' We just laughed yelled back good night {insert random names}! So weird, random, and dont think we'll ever get used to it," Tania captioned the picture.

On April 22, Tania posted photos of herself tubing with Syngin, and they clearly had a great time together.
"When we went tubing and we... put champagne in a ginger beer bottle, lost each other for a while, I fell off at the drop and thought I was gonna drown, brought my phone in a ziplock bag inside of a travel liquid clear bag that survived being submerged more times than I could count," she recalled in her post.

"One of my favorite things is to watch Syngin experience something for the first time (well really anytime but firsts are special). He doesnt hold back joy, excitement, amazement, or glee!" Tania explained.
"It brings me so much joy watching him in pure wonder. Him seeing the NY skyline at night like this, was one of those times...#CapturedMoments #MakingMemories #Passion #Love #90dayfiance #Polaroid #taniaandsyngin #NewYorkCity #NYC #TBT #BQ Before Quarantine."
