Elizabeth and Andrei, who met on a dating app in 2016, 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, was planning a visit to Dublin and decided to test the waters online to "see what was out there" for men before visiting the city in Ireland.
Although Andrei is originally from Chisinau, Moldova, he was living in Dublin at the time and working as a bouncer when Elizabeth went on her trip.
Once they met in person, Elizabeth and Andrei quickly fell for each other.
Elizabeth 27 years old and living in Tampa, FL, when Andrei -- who was 31 years old at the time -- came to America on a K-1 visa to get their life together started.
While the pair were smitten with each other, it took a long time for Elizabeth's family to warm up to the idea of her new romance.
One might even argue Elizabeth's family never came around to the idea of Andrei being a great match for Elizabeth.
Elizabeth's large clan allegedly found Andrei controlling, and they disapproved of the pair's hasty decision to wed after having known each other for such a short period of time.
However, Elizabeth and Andrei continued their relationship and attempted to just focus on each other, which naturally strained Elizabeth's connection with her family members.

The couple made their relationship official by tying the knot and exchanging vows just one month later.
But their honeymoon was short-lived, 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 their first 90 Day Fiance season wrapped 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.
Later in October, Elizabeth and Andrei announced they had a baby girl on the way and also celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary together.

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 place 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 sat her down for a chat and explained he was feeling taken advantage of. Chuck also wasn't happy with the up-keep of his rental property considering Andrei had promised to take care of it and fix things up.
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. Andrei also didn't want to follow Chuck's rules.
Elizabeth, however, acknowledged she and Andrei didn't have the funds to just pick up and find a new place to rent.

Elizabeth lied and told Andrei she had received an advance from work in order to pay for their new place.
"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 while shopping for baby clothes in a second-hand store.
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.
So were Elizabeth and Andrei able to make it through the tough times together? Are they still married, and what is the latest on their relationship?
Elizabeth and Andrei are in fact still married and appear to be happy together.They are currently living in Florida.

"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."
