Jovi gushed about loving his life in New Orleans, where he could hunt, fish, drink and party with his friends all the time.

Jovi grew up on the bayou in Louisiana, so he enjoyed being a city boy in his adult years.

Jovi had traveled to about 25 countries just for work, which requires him to work four weeks straight in exchange for having four weeks off.

Jovi thought he had a good understanding of the rest of the world, and one day when he downloaded a travel app, he met Yara. Jovi said Yara is a very beautiful girl and they liked a lot of the same things -- beaches, scubadiving and traveling.

Jovi therefore met Yara during a trip to Budapest. He had no expectations when they first met other than to probably hook up, and he said their first night together was really awkward and with some moments of silence.

But after a few glasses of wine, Jovi said they "had really good sex and then things got better" from that point.

Jovi told the cameras Yara is a girly-girl who loves fashion, makeup and designer bags but he's a simple guy who thrives in the outdoors. However, Jovi pointed out they are both family-oriented and share similar values, which was important to him.

During the next few months after meeting, Jovi and Yara kept taking vacations together -- including to Bali and the Dominican Republic -- and Jovi 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 close together."

At that point, however, Jovi said he loved Yara -- and so he proposed marriage to her during a trip to Cuba.

Afterward, Jovi applied for a K-1 visa so he could marry Yara and they could become a family, but then the couple received bad news that they had lost the baby.

Since Yara was no longer pregnant, Jovi confessed he experienced a case of cold feet and realized there was no rush to get married anymore and settle down together in America.

But after more time passed, Jovi determined Yara was the person he wanted to be with and he felt good about having her in his life. And Yara was prepared to move to Louisiana in just a few days after her K-1 visa was approved.

Jovi said his mother Gwen was Yara's biggest supporter, but Gwen was surprised about her son's choice of partner to marry. Gwen apparently always thought her son would wed a sweet southern girl, and she had trouble picturing Yara liking Jovi's lifestyle of hunting and fishing.

Gwen warned Jovi that Ukrainian women want to get to the United States and she didn't want Yara to use him for residency in America. Jovi said he had trouble trusting people and so deciding to trust Yara was a big thing for him.

Due to Jovi's hectic work schedule, he said he'd only have two weeks with Yara to move into an apartment and then Jovi had to work for a month. They wouldn't have 90 days like the average K-1 visa couple, so Jovi was a bit concerned they'd have less than 60 days together.

Gwen thought the situation was "absolutely nuts" and didn't understand how Jovi and Yara were going to make this work. Gwen wasn't even convinced Jovi was truly ready for marriage.

Jovi's friends also didn't think he was ready to be a husband and deal with the challenges of marriage. His best friend Kline's girlfriend Sara even predicted Jovi's life was going to spiral out of control.

Jovi admitted he's a free spirit who likes to drink and doesn't really think before acting, so he acknowledged a woman coming into his life and trying to change him would be tough.

Jovi was later shown buying flowers and picking up Yara at the airport.

Jovi acknowledged this relationship was crazy and it even shocked himself that he was so wrapped up in one woman. Jovi just wanted Yara to like his city and his friends.

"If Yara and I don't work out, I'll be devastated," Jovi told the cameras.

Jovi and Yara then reunited in the airport, and they hugged. Yara joked she smelled bad and felt gross, but she blurted out, "Hurrah! Viva to America!"

Yara complained her flight was 30-hours long because Jovi was trying to save money and so she was exhausted.

When asked to reveal what she loved most about Jovi, Yara wasn't sure what to say other than he had a good body when they first met.

Yara then told Jovi that she just wanted to take a shower and sleep, which disappointed Jovi, who was prepared to take Yara out for a night of good fun and drink.

Jovi confessed, "This was definitely not the first night in New Orleans I had imagined."

Jovi took Yara to his apartment in the best part of the city, but Yara complained about Jovi's place being small. Jovi said it was "frustrating" because he thought his apartment was really nice, and Yara also vented about how the place wasn't very clean.

Yara said Jovi has "bad taste," but Jovi told his fiancee that she could decorate their apartment however she wanted, and that at least made her feel a little better.

Jovi was a little angry and frustrated they couldn't go out and party for a little bit on their first night together in the United States, especially because he wanted to introduce Yara to some of his friends.

"I don't think me and Yara are on the same page about a lot of things, but our 90 days start today and we have a lot to think about before we get married," Jovi said.

Jovi then joked with Yara they were about to have sex for the first time in America.

During Yara's first full day in New Orleans, Jovi then gave Yara a tour of the city, including Bourbon Street, where people just hang out and drink.

Yara thought Bourbon Street was chaotic and crazy, and she appeared pretty overwhelmed. Yara admitted she thought America was going to be "sweet dreams" but Ukraine was better -- although "more poor."

Jovi then wanted to introduce Yara to his parents, but Yara didn't want to spend the night at Jovi's parents' place because she said she wouldn't feel comfortable. Jovi said Yara didn't have a choice because that's simply Louisiana culture.

Yara jokingly threatened to return to Ukraine, but Jovi argued that America is a better country, which apparently upset Yara.

Jovi couldn't wait to introduce Yara to his mother, saying it was a very important moment in his life and he wished Yara had been more excited about it. Jovi said he needed the women to get along in order for him to have a comfortable marriage.

The pair's relationship didn't get off to a great start, and Yara complains in a trailer for the rest of 90 Day Fiance's eighth season that Jovi is an alcoholic and party animal.

"He needs to understand I [gave] up everything I have to be here," Yara says in a confessional.

Yara later says she "deserves somebody better" after Jovi is shown joking with a friend how he wasn't married yet.

"I'm going to walk away," Jovi threatens his fiancee.

"You f-cking walk away," Yara dares him with tears in her eyes. "I'm just done with you."


So did Jovi and Yara break up or is the 90 Day Fiance couple still together?

For starters, 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!"

Jovi posted the video clip of Yara saying he no longer had a good body, which was footage that aired in the premiere of 90 Day Fiance's eighth season.

"Well damnnnnn, that's harsh," Jovi playfully captioned his post along with crying-laughing emoticons.

Yara shared the same video clip on her own Instagram account and said, "It's so funny. I'm definitely not a romantic person who can talk about feelings."

When one fan wrote, "I can't wait to see more of you and jovi you two are so cute together."

Yara replied, "Thank you," which seemingly confirms they are still a couple.

On December 6, Jovi requested of his followers, "Tune in to see our story."

And Yara commented on his post, "You are special!! WE DONT HAVE SEX IN THE FIRST NIGHT."

Earlier this month, 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 on the picture, "Dayummmm. Are you single??"

Jovi's flirtatious remark would seem to suggest they're still dating.

The pair were definitely still together in early May, 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.

And in February, Yara uploaded a few photos of herself in an ivory suite and pink shirt, and Jovi commented, "Like."

Going back to late December 2019, Jovi posted a photo with Yara in which they were sitting in front of a fireplace at Christmas time.

Yara commented, "I look ugly here."

One month earlier, Yara posted photos with Jovi posing on a rooftop and captioned them, "Best [man] in the world, love you so much."
