Elizabeth from Tampa, FL, and Andrei from Chisinau, Moldova, met on a dating app in 2016 and found fame when they appeared on 90 Day Fiance's fifth season, which was followed by a stint on 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s fourth season.RELATED LINK: '90 DAY FIANCE' COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER?

Elizabeth was 27 years old and Andrei was 31 when he moved to America on a K-1 visa in September 2017.
Elizabeth's family didn't like Andrei because they thought he was rude and controlling and might be after a Green Card, but Elizabeth chose to follow her heart and marry him anyway in October 2017.
After announcing they were expecting their first child in October 2018, Elizabeth gave birth to a baby girl, Eleanor Louise, on January 3, 2019.
On Season 5 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, Elizabeth and Andrei were shown having their second wedding in Moldova; however, the wedding plans seemed to bring out the worst in them.
Elizabeth said she saw a "chauvinistic" side of Andrei in his home country that she didn't like, and Andrei snapped at his wife multiple times during wedding planning to "shut up." Andrei accused his wife of being "OCD" and "annoying."
Charlie and Andrei also nearly fist-fought at a restaurant, which Elizabeth called "outrageous and embarrassing." And at one point, Andrei yelled at Chuck and Charlie to just pack their bags and leave Moldova.
Charlie also appeared to have a little too much to drink, which resulted in him giving an offensive and inappropriate speech in front of Andrei's family and friends at the lavish wedding.
"Don't come to America and try to live off my dad," Charlie said. "Don't ask my dad for money, okay?... Come to America and earn your sh-t, okay?!"
Andrei couldn't believe Charlie would try to ruin his big day and make Elizabeth cry at his wedding, but he did have a sweet chat with Chuck, who paid for the entire event.

"I've been rude to you," Andrei confessed to his father-in-law, "but I want from now on, for all of this to work better... for the sake of my daughter and your daughter."
During the Season 5 Tell-All for 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, Elizabeth said quarantining with Andrei amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic put a lot of stress and strain on their relationship.
Elizabeth didn't feel Andrei took on all the responsibilities of a stay-at-home dad when Andrei tried to claim he was the "man of the house," and Elizabeth's sister Jenn called Andrei "cold" and "aggressive."
On the Season 6 premiere of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, Andrei had received his real estate license and hoped to make big money.
Andrei asked Chuck, who owns a property management business, for a $100,000 loan so he could start his own business of flipping houses, but Chuck quickly replied, "That ain't happening."
Chuck told the cameras he couldn't believe Andrei had "the audacity" to ask for such a huge loan without working for anything first.
Chuck ultimately offered Andrei a job but said Andrei needed to get his hands dirty and learn the ropes before he would essentially finance a company for Andrei to start.
Andrei, however, had to work and get along with Elizabeth's siblings in order to work for Chuck, and everyone knew that was going to be tricky given Andrei and Charlie's tense past. Andrei called Charlie "an arrogant person."

But at the same time, the girls had been working their way up in the family business to provide for their own children and spouses, and Becky and Jenn thought Andrei was "trying to take the easy way out."
Becky and Jenn told Chuck that they'd be willing to give Andrei a chance, but Charlie was still waiting for an apology and wasn't about to let Andrei into the family business with open arms.
"I've got one thing to say: f-ck him. If he wants to do this, earn it!" Charlie yelled.
Elizabeth, feeling upset and defeated at the family meeting, then stormed out of the house.
"I've already made up my mind. I'm going to bring [Andrei] in and I want you guys to work with him," Chuck announced to the group, before asking Charlie to meet with Andrei and squash their beef.
Elizabeth admitted she was "so over" the battle between her husband and her family, saying she felt "drained and exhausted" common ground could not be found.
Once Elizabeth got home, Andrei told his wife of Charlie, "He's a very lucky person that he didn't get knocked out and, in fact, he never apologized for what he did. There is no way I am working with that bum in general."
Elizabeth said Charlie's behavior was "inexcusable" but the men needed to bury the hatchet in order to run a successful business. Elizabeth told Andrei that Charlie is a stubborn man who doesn't apologize, but Andrei said he needed to hear Charlie admit he's "a pig."
Andrei explained that he'd be willing to sit down with Charlie but expected an apology or else he'd refuse to work with him going forward.

When the two guys finally met up, Charlie explained that he felt like Andrei and Elizabeth were taking advantage of Chuck and Chuck seemed to favor Elizabeth over his other children. Elizabeth argued, however, she would never take advantage of their father.

Charlie said Andrei needed to "humble himself" and not make demands. Andrei told Charlie that he didn't want to be Charlie's friend for life and just wanted to make money for the business and provide for his wife and daughter.
Charlie said he was okay with that and wanted the best for his sister and niece.
Andrei then started work with Chuck and Elizabeth said she was excited about the opportunity to be a stay-at-home mom and spend some good quality time with her daughter Eleanor.
Andrei told the cameras he had big plans for his family and he felt proud to be "the man of the house" and hopefully make a lot of money.
But when Chuck brought Andrei to his first property, Charlie was inside -- and Becky also showed up.
Becky, who serves as Chuck's listening agent, also showed up for the walk-through and wondered why she hadn't been invited and Andrei seemed to be working in her place.
Chuck confirmed Andrei was not going to be one of the listing agents, but Becky complained Andrei was trying to take money from her and it wasn't going to happen.

Andrei said he wasn't going to work under Charlie, but Charlie explained this house was his listing and Andrei's only value was going to be handyman work.
Chuck told his children that he didn't like all the drama and he planned to give some of his profits on the new house to Andrei. Chuck assured his kids that Andrei wasn't going to touch their money.
Elizabeth and Andrei then learned Andrei's two-year Green Card was about to expire and so they had to hire a lawyer and go through the process of renewing it for a 10-year Green Card.

Elizabeth expressed fear Andrei's permanent Green Card may get denied and her husband could potentially be deported back to Moldova.
Elizabeth told her sister Jenn the news, who was totally shocked, and also vented to Jenn about how she needed help from a babysitter or nanny but Andrei said he didn't trust anyone except family taking care of his child at their home.
Andrei also apparently had high expectations for his wife in the home while Elizabeth noted there is nothing wrong with asking for some help.
Jenn thought Andrei was just trying to control the situation and his wife, and Jenn agreed working while raising a baby is extremely difficult. Jenn suggested Elizabeth should just hire a nanny while she's working and not tell Andrei at all.
"I'm not telling you to lie; I'm just telling you to omit something from him," Jenn suggested to her sister.
Elizabeth wanted to discuss the situation with Andrei first, but she seemed desperate for help. With that being said, Jenn gave Elizabeth a reliable nanny's phone number to call and set up a meeting.

Andrei and Charlie later had another confrontation at one of Charlie's listings. Andrei attempted to destroy the kitchen -- which is what Chuck had apparently told him to do -- but Charlie said Andrei needed to run everything by him first.
Andrei swore at Charlie and stormed off, and Charlie accused him of being "a b-tch" and not cleaning up his own mess. Andrei said Charlie was jealous of the fact he was trying to get things done.
Andrei told the cameras he'd never be able to work for Charlie but he needed to work for the sake of getting his two-year Green Card renewed for 10 years.
So are Andrei and Elizabeth still together now or has the 90 Day Fiance couple broken up?
Elizabeth and Andrei are definitely still together, and their marriage appears to be thriving.ADVERTISEMENT
Elizabeth captioned her post, which also featured a video of Eleanor running around in the sand, "Family beach day."

And in an early May interview with Us Weekly, Andrei gushed that he and Elizabeth "may be" the next Fixer Upper stars Chip Gaines and Joanna Gaines.
"Things are booming over here in Florida... and the market is up," Andrei said, before Elizabeth mentioned that Chip and Joanna are their "inspiration."
Elizabeth shared how she's "happy" her husband wants a profession in "the same industry" that her family works in.
"He's able to see what I do and learn from it, and I can help him through it," Elizabeth said. "It seems like he's a little bit more motivated and more excited to get out and do stuff."
Andrei also posted an adorable video on Instagram Stories in early May showing himself tickling and kissing his daughter. Elizabeth filmed the video and could be heard giggling behind the camera.
On April 25, 2021, which happened to be the day 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s sixth season premiered, Andrei and Elizabeth celebrated at the beach in Seagrove and had some fun in the sun. Andrei called it a "mini vacation" for his family.
And in early April, Elizabeth posted photos of herself posing with Andrei and their daughter in celebration of Easter.

Elizabeth also showed her husband some love on Instagram in February. She shared a photo of them kissing and wrote alongside it, "Happy Birthday to the love of my life! This man right here is everything to me. My lover, my best friend, my protector, my rock & my biggest supporter."
She added, "He would do anything for anyone dear to him and will always listen to you if you need him. I love you so much baby! You deserve whatever you want and then some."
The couple also proudly celebrated Eleanor's second birthday together on January 24 with peach and pink balloons.
Elizabeth also has photos showing she and Andrei rang in the New Year of 2021 together and celebrated Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Halloween 2020 as a happily-married couple.
Elizabeth joked in Fall 2020 of Andrei, "First he's sour. Then he's sweet."
Andrei also has sweet family photos on his own Instagram account.
Things have apparently been going well for the couple for quite some time. Evidence of their love dates back on social media years.
Last year, Elizabeth called Andrei her "partner in crime" and "soul mate," and Andrei seemed ecstatic they could have a big wedding celebration in Moldova.
