After meeting in Budapest and having "really good sex," according to Jovi, they took vacations together all over the world, including a stop in Bali. Jovi also visited his girl in the Ukraine multiple times.
Jovi revealed he got Yara pregnant six months into their relationship and that was a huge shock to him.

"I was dumbfounded, it was so unexpected. This is not what I'm ready for. I thought she was trying to trap me. I thought, 'This is her ticket to America,'" Jovi admitted. "But after the shock wore off, it actually pulled us pretty closer together."
At that point, Jovi said he loved Yara, and so he decided to propose marriage to her during a trip to Cuba and then apply for a K-1 visa so they could marry and become a family.
But then the couple received bad news that Yara had suffered a miscarriage.
After experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions, Yara's K-1 visa was approved and so she moved to Louisiana to be with him.
"If Yara and I don't work out, I'll be devastated," Jovi said, before the couple reunited at the airport.

Once Yara arrived to America, she disappointed Jovi by wanting to sleep her first night in New Orleans instead of partying with his friends. Jovi began thinking that he and Yara were on different pages.
Yara also came to find that New Orleans was chaotic and crazy, and she viewed Jovi's mother Gwen as pushy, especially about Yara and Jovi's wedding.

Yara desired a quickie wedding in Las Vegas while Gwen hoped for a grand event for all of Jovi's friends and family. Gwen said Yara was being a bit selfish, but Yara complained she'd never "get married in a trailer park."
Yara and Jovi went on to have several disagreements, and Jovi realized he needed to compromise in order to make his fiancee happy in a country that was foreign to her.

Yara also still harbored resentment over Jovi leaving her in Albania after her miscarriage -- a series of events Jovi recalled differently. Yara had a fear implanted in the back of her mind that Jovi would disappoint and neglect her again -- and maybe even their future children.
Once Jovi left for a month to work on a boat, Yara felt lonely and attempted to befriend Jovi's pal Sara, who warned Yara that Jovi used to be a regular at one of the local stripclubs and "would sleep with" the exotic dancers.
Sara also revealed Jovi's ex got so drunk one night that she had pissed herself in bed, and Yara wondered if she was seeing a totally different Jovi.

Although Yara said she and Jovi had been "careful" her first month in America, she discovered she was pregnant -- and it was a huge shock to her because she didn't feel ready for a baby!

"I am not ready yet. I don't even know if I want to get married and live here," Yara complained.
She later added, "I honestly don't even know if [Jovi] wants to settle down with me and [stop] partying all the time. It just makes me feel crazy."
Once Jovi found out Yara was expecting, he was also expecting his life to change a lot.
Jovi admitted while he wasn't 100 percent ready for a baby, he would be 100 percent ready for Yara. But Yara was envisioning moving back to Ukraine or at least away from New Orleans.
At a crawfish boil Yara didn't attend, Jovi's friends all joked that his relationship wasn't going to last and he wouldn't make it more than six months.
Jovi insisted he had changed a lot in the last two years, and Jovi's pals agreed Yara must have special powers in order to contain Jovi and his wild ways.
While Jovi said he loved to travel, he couldn't picture himself living anywhere else than New Orleans.
Jovi and Yara then bickered on the way to their big engagement party that Gwen had planned.
Yara called Jovi "an alcoholic," saying a beer was always in her fiancee's hand. Jovi said he wasn't drunk and hadn't been drinking, but Yara was offended that Jovi was treating her like she was stupid.
"If I was not pregnant, I would be already in Ukraine," Yara said in tears.

"Not so lucky," Jovi responded.
"Son of a b-tch," Yara said in tears.

Yara lamented before the engagement party, "I'm pregnant; I need support, and Jovi doesn't care about me. And now I need to pretend like everything is good and everything is alright, but no, I don't feel good."
Gwen told the cameras that her son and his fiancee really seemed to be in love, but as the couple danced, Yara repeatedly whispered in Jovi's ear, "I hate you."
Jovi asked Yara if she wanted to eat, and she replied, "I'm going to kick your f-cking ass."
Jovi shared with his parents that night how Yara was pregnant, and they were overjoyed about having a grandchild on the way.
But that didn't turn Yara's night around, unfortunately.
Yara insisted that she deserved somebody better because she's smart, beautiful and more, but Jovi, for his part, said he was "over" hearing his fiancee complain about him.
Jovi asked Yara why she was so mad the morning after, and Yara explained he seemed to care more about his friends than he cared about her.
Jovi said between his job and bringing Yara to America, he didn't have much time to spend with his friends and family and so it was difficult to split his time and make everyone happy.
"English is my first language, I don't know anybody and I'm pregnant. So of course I'm going to be mad. I'm so worried the way he treated me now is how he will [treat] me all the time," Yara said in a confessional.

Jovi insisted he wasn't that drunk at the party, but Yara didn't believe him.
"If you want to be with me, you have to stop the drinking," Yara said, giving Jovi an ultimatum.
Jovi thought it was ridiculous he couldn't drink for nine months just because Yara couldn't due to her pregnancy, but Yara said that's what she wanted and needed from him.
"Is drinking more important to you than all of this stuff?" Yara asked.
"No, it's not. I thought it was fine; I was not acting stupid," Jovi replied.

Yara gave Jovi permission to drink on special occasions but not every day or else he'd be visiting with his child on weekends while living apart from her.
Jovi agreed to drink a little bit less and take better care of his wife-to-be, and Yara demanded respect.
"I just want him to show that me and the baby [come] first," Yara told the cameras.
Jovi had another work trip coming up soon, so he and Yara had to get married within two weeks. Jovi felt rushed but said he was going to make things work.
A few days after their engagement party, Yara said Jovi was doing more and treating her better. Not only did Jovi try to cook for her one night, but he was also spending evenings at home with her.
Jovi said he was beginning to understand the stress Yara was going through of being pregnant in a foreign country without any friends or relatives around, and he intended to be more sympathetic and supportive.

Yara, however, didn't like the idea of raising a baby in New Orleans because she said the city was all about partying and drinking. Yara also criticized Jovi for not knowing much about his own culture.
Jovi told Yara that they still had nine or 10 months on their apartment lease, and Yara playfully questioned whether she should return to Ukraine because her country is "amazing."

"This never was my dream," Yara told Jovi. "[I'm] dreaming about different stuff."
Yara, however, said she loved Jovi and really wanted their relationship to work. She still wanted to marry him.
So are Yara and Jovi still together, married and parents to a new baby, or did the 90 Day Fiance couple split up?
Jovi and Yara got married within the 90-day period that Yara's K-1 visa allowed and the couple appears to still be together.ADVERTISEMENT
According to a screenshot posted by 90 Day Fiance Instagrammer John Yates, Jovi and Yara obtained a marriage license on February 13, 2020, In Touch Weekly reported.
Yara and Jovi reportedly exchanged vows in a wedding ceremony in Las Vegas, NV, that same month.
Yara told Us Weekly in January 2021 she was "so happy" upon learning she was pregnant because she hoped her baby would look as "handsome" or "beautiful" as Jovi, whom she gushed about being in love with "so much."
Jovi and Yara reportedly welcomed their first child together only a few months before Season 8 of 90 Day Fiance premiered on TLC in December 2020, according to In Touch.
It appears Yara delivered the couple's child in September 2020.

Before viewers saw Yara take a positive pregnancy test on 90 Day Fiance's eighth season, pregnancy rumors began floating around on December 31 when Yara posted an Instagram photo that appeared to show two unique ornaments on a Christmas tree she was posing next to. (Eagle-eyed fans also pointed out the tree looked like it was in Jovi's New Orleans apartment).
One of the ornaments was a baby and the other was a pink heart with the word "mom" written on it.
Yara also reportedly created an Amazon baby registry last year under the name "Yara Dufren," which seemingly provided evidence she was expecting a child and the couple had tied the knot during her K-1 visa trip to the United States.
The baby registry was posted on January 4, 2020, according to In Touch, and the items Yara listed were for a baby girl due in September 2020.
The registry has since been removed from Amazon.
There is also evidence on social media the couple's relationship is still in good standing. For example, Jovi's Instagram profile picture features Yara.

And on Yara's Instagram, her description says, "38 country, traveling with my [love]." Jovi has a similar description on his own Instagram page, saying he's been to 57 countries and is "on an adventure to see the world!"
In mid-December 2020, Yara posted a picture of herself touching her hair, and an Instagram user noticed an engagement ring and wedding ring on Yara's left hand.

But when a fan commented, "Ooooooooo a wedding ring," Yara commented, "Not wedding, this is an ordinary ring, I wear it so that the engagement ring does not get lost, because it is big for me."
The fan wrote back that Jovi needs to size the ring for Yara, and she replied, "Hahahahah, i was thinking about that, but I newer have time."
And when one fan wrote on Yara's Instagram last year, "I can't wait to see more of you and jovi you two are so cute together," Yara replied, "Thank you."

In early December of last year, Yara posted a photo of herself filming behind-the-scenes and wrote alongside it, "I want Jovi to look at me with the same loving eyes as this woman looks at me in the first photo."
Yara also uploaded a photo of herself drinking wine with a cityscape in the background, and Jovi commented with the following flirty response: "Dayummmm. Are you single??"
The pair were definitely still together in early May 2020, when Yara captioned a selfie of the couple with three red heart emojis.
One follower gushed "gorgeous couple," and then Yara responded, "Thanks."
Yara also posted a throwback photo of Jovi proposing marriage down on one knee. She wrote "memories" alongside the photo with a red heart emoji.
