Season 4 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? has shown Elizabeth pregnancy and stressing about financial issues given Andrei had yet to nail down a full-time job.
Not only has she lied to her husband to keep him calm and be able to pay their bills, but Andrei seems to want to spend more money than they have on rent and things for their baby.
Elizabeth and Andrei met in 2016
Elizabeth and Andrei originally met on a dating app in 2016. They first appeared on Season 5 of the original 90 Day Fiance series before signing on for the new season of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?.Elizabeth, the youngest of 10 children, had a trip to Dublin planned and decided to test the waters online to "see what was out there" in terms of guys in Ireland.
Although Andrei was born in Chisinau, Moldova, he was living in Dublin at the time of Elizabeth's travels where he was working as a bouncer.
Once they met in person, it took no time at all for Elizabeth and Andrei to fall for each other, much like other 90 Day Fiance couples.
Andrei therefore obtained a K-1 visa in order to visit Elizabeth in the United States. She was 27 years old and living in Tampa, FL, at the time, and Andrei was 31.

While the pair were smitten with each other, it took a long time for Elizabeth's family to come around and warm up to the idea of them being a couple.
Elizabeth's large family allegedly found Andrei stubborn and controlling, and they disapproved of the pair's hasty decision to wed after having known each other for such a short period of time.

Andrei moved to America in 2017
Andrei then officially moved to the United States in September 2017, and he and Elizabeth got married just one month later.But the honeymoon phase was brief, as Andrei struggled to secure a permanent job in America, much to the dismay of Elizabeth's family.
But Andrei seemed nearly perfect in Elizabeth's eyes, and she clearly loved him with all of her heart.
In May 2018, the couple learned Elizabeth was pregnant, which was about six months after the fifth season of 90 Day Fiance finished airing on television.
In October 2018, Elizabeth's brother-in-law Orlando Davis accidentally publicly revealed she and Andrei were expecting their first child together on his radio show called Orlando and the Freakshow.
Elizabeth and Andrei did not confirm the big news until later that month, when Elizabeth confessed she was a little "upset" to have been robbed of making the special announcement herself.

During the Season 4 premiere of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? in late April, Elizabeth revealed she and Andrei had been married for one year and she was 16 weeks along in her pregnancy.
Elizabeth gushed to the cameras married life was all she had dreamed about "and more." And Andrei agreed they had become best friends and he appreciated how his wife challenged him at times.
The couple was also in the process of moving into a new home in Florida, a three-bedroom house Elizabeth's father owned and was allowing them to stay in rent-free until they could figure out their finances since Andrei had yet to land a full-time job as a truck driver.
But Elizabeth and Andrei were at odds when it came to how much involvement Elizabeth's family members would have in their lives and raising the baby.
During a recent episode of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s fourth season, Elizabeth was getting more and more excited to have her baby at 18 weeks in the pregnancy.
Andrei, however, was still unable to find steady work, and therefore a steady paycheck, and so she said her family judged him, which brought unnecessary stress upon their lives.
"I'm really concerned because he has no plan," Elizabeth's father Chuck told the cameras about Andrei's lack of a job and career.

In addition, it didn't help that Elizabeth's sister and sister-in-law viewed Andrei like "an assh-le" since he didn't allow either of them to attend the gender-revealing ultrasound.
Elizabeth's father, Chuck, later told his daughter that he was being taken for granted and felt unappreciated.
Chuck also displeased Andrei wasn't following through with his alleged promise to fix up the rental home and work on its up-keep.
Once Elizabeth shared the details of the uncomfortable conversation with Andrei, Andrei demanded they move out immediately so they'd no longer be indebted to Chuck or have to follow his rules.

But because Andrei was so insistent on doing their own thing because he felt "betrayed" by Chuck, Elizabeth went behind his back in the May 19 episode and asked her father to secretly help them out with a deposit and future rent payments.
Elizabeth lied and told Andrei she had received an advance from work in order to pay for their new place.
Andrei accepted Elizabeth's explanation for things and just assumed money was coming in, so he wasn't even happy shopping for baby clothes at a second-hand store. Andrei, for instance, complained about how dirty feet had been in a pair of sparkly shoes.
"I don't know what planet Andrei is living on, but we cannot afford to be picky. I am kind of the one being realistic here, and it's kind of a hard spot to be in," Elizabeth told the cameras.

And when Andrei had the opportunity to receive work in the trucking industry since he had obtained his trucker's license, he appeared to want to turn it down because of the long hours he'd be forced to spend away from home.
Elizabeth was furious at the "stupid" move, and Andrei was upset his wife wasn't being more supportive.
"I think Andrei is blissfully unaware of what's to come and he needs to step it up," Elizabeth vented to the cameras.
90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s next May 26 episode of was only an hour, and no footage of Elizabeth and Andrei was featured at all!

"We are so blessed to finally meet our baby girl, Eleanor Louise!" the new parents told Us Weekly in January.
"This is such a joyful and amazing moment for us. We have never felt this rewarded in our lives and we are looking forward to our bright future as a family of three. Thank you so much to our fans for their continued support and love during our journey."
The couple doesn't post very often on social media often, but when they do, the content is significant.
On May 12 for example, Elizabeth shared a photo of Andrei and herself holding their three-month-old baby girl. She captioned the image, "Happy Mother's Day!"
Elizabeth also added the hashtag "in love" to her post and tagged Andrei, so that seems to indicate the couple is still in love with each other as well as with their baby girl.
Elizabeth and Andrei have both posted happy family photos on Instagram.
In April, Elizabeth shared a cute picture of her little family enjoying Eleanor's first Easter.
And in late March, Andrei wrote his relationship with his wife truly has been "happily ever after."
On March 1, Elizabeth posted a family photo and captioned it, "So this is love."
Going back to early February, Elizabeth confirmed she was still "husband and wife" with Andrei on Instagram and they're "a family of 3."
