The couple began traveling the world together, and Jovi also visited Yara in the Ukraine multiple times.
Yara got pregnant six months into their relationship, and Jovi admitted he was "dumbfounded" at first and worried Yara was trying to "trap" him in pursuit of a Green Card.

But Jovi came around to the idea of becoming a father and said the pregnancy actually brought them closer together.
Jovi therefore proposed marriage to Yara during a trip to Cuba and subsequently applied for a K-1 visa so she could move to America to be with him. However, Yara unfortunately experienced a miscarriage.
Once Yara arrived to America, she and Jovi argued a lot over his partying and drinking habits. Yara even heard that Jovi was a regular at a stripclub and had hooked up with exotic dancers.
Yara wanted to feel loved and respected, and she also wanted Jovi to prove she'd be his top priority in life, especially since she left everything behind for their relationship.
Yara then discovered she was pregnant again and vented in shock to the cameras, "I am not ready yet. I don't even know if I want to get married and live here."

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."
Yara questioned whether Jovi truly cared for her, and she gave him an ultimatum to shape up and treat her better -- or she would return to Ukraine alone.
Jovi had a little slip-up at his bachelor party when he received a private lapdance and returned home much later than promised, but he came to realize Yara would leave him if he didn't listen to his fiancee and be more supportive and understanding.

Jovi and Yara went through with a wedding in Las Vegas.

"I just hope Jovi is not lying and he will really do what he tells me, that he will be a man... I really hope he will change and he will be nice," Yara told the cameras.
Jovi said his next step would be to apply for Yara's Green Card and move her over to the United States permanently. He also looked forward to welcoming his baby.
90 Day Fiance: Jovi and Yara's Baby Special in early April featured Yara and Jovi learning they had a baby girl on the way and Yara still trying to tame Jovi and make him more domestic.
Yara gave birth in a hospital and the couple named their daughter, who weighed seven pounds and nine ounces, Mylah Angelina.
"Beautiful just like her mommy," Jovi gushed.

Jovi said everything the couple had gone through together was worth it, and Yara said of her newborn, "I always want to cry when I look at [my daughter]. I love her so much... I [didn't] think I could love somebody so much in just a little bit of time."
On 90 Day Fiance's Season 8 Tell-All special, Yara said being a parent was "amazing" and gushed about how Jovi is a loving and caring father, which makes her fall deeper in love with him every day.
But then Yara was forced to watch back footage of Jovi going upstairs with an exotic dancer in a stripclub at his bachelor party as well as Jovi failing a lie detector test when asked whether he's ever slept with a stripper before.
"Jovi never told me nothing [about] what he was doing," she complained.
Yara admitted she felt "mad" and Jovi receiving a lapdance was "disrespectful" to her.

Yara pointed out, however, that Jovi is "a grown-ass man" and she can't control his actions. Jovi said it was difficult to see Yara upset but "the past is the past" and all of that was behind them.
Jovi promised Yara that he'd never do something like that again because he loves her "so much."
When the couple then made their debut on 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s sixth season, Jovi and Yara were shown disagreeing over parenting techniques, with Jovi calling Yara a "control freak" and hoping she would begin listening to the advice of his mother more and accept her help as he'd be leaving the country for work for two months.
Jovi insisted he was happy not be partying so much anymore because he was taking his role as a father very seriously.
Yara wasn't looking forward to her husband, who works in underwater robotics, leaving again and being gone for two months. Jovi's flight out of the United States was scheduled in a month and Yara cried about the idea of being a mom alone in a foreign country.

Jovi was sympathetic to Yara, but he was also worried about his own needs. Jovi said he wanted to make sure his relationship was thriving and not focus on their baby every second of the day.
"This girl gives us no freedom -- no freedom to sleep and no freedom to eat... I know we're going through a lot of changes right now, and I understand it. But we just got married and we never got the opportunity to go through our newlywed stage," Jovi lamented.
"I've been sleeping in the living room so that Yara can get some rest. I'm away from her every night."
Jovi said although he and Yara couldn't have sex because Yara had just given birth, he thought it was still important to keep their relationship good and go on a honeymoon, for example.

Yara, however, didn't want to leave her daughter for even a second and admitted to being overprotective. Yara said she wanted to wait at least six months before leaving Mylah.
Jovi told the cameras they couldn't keep Mylah in a bubble and Yara would have to relax a little bit. He wanted her to stop being so bossy and allow him to be a father and learn from his mistakes.
Jovi wanted to figure out what works for him as a father rather than just following all of Yara's requests or demands.
Yara said she needed to be strong once Jovi left for work but it wasn't easy and she was going to essentially be a single mom. She also broke down emotionally once she learned Jovi would have to leave earlier than anticipated for his job.
Jovi worried Yara might pack her bags and leave him for good because life without family and friends in New Orleans was clearly difficult for her.
So are Jovi and Yara still together now or did the 90 Day Fiance couple break up?

The couple haven't been shy about sharing their love for one another on social media for months now.

"Happy International Women's Day, my girls, I hope you made your man buy you flowers," Yara captioned her post.
"In my country, March 8 is a great holiday when women are treated like queens. Women, be sure your man treat you the right way, buy for you flowers, take you to dinner. I do not feel like this is celebrated enough in America."
Jovi simultaneously shared a picture of himself on the same day and advised men to treat their girlfriends or wives the way the women deserve to be treated.

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." 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.
