Mike Youngquist was a 34-year-old from Sequim, Washington, and Natalie Mordovtseva was a 35-year-old from Kyiv, Ukraine, when they starred on Season 7 of 90 Day Fiance.RELATED LINK: '90 DAY FIANCE' COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER? WHO HAS SPLIT? WHERE ARE THEY KNOW? (PHOTOS)
The pair met through a mutual friend and began texting back and forth, which resulted in a friendship and then Mike booking a flight to Ukraine so they could meet in person and help each other through divorces.
Although they had only spent two weeks together, Mike felt they were meant to be, and so he returned to the United States and began the K-1 visa process. But Mike and Natalie were opposites, and their differences later caused problems in their relationship.

Natalie is a religious vegetarian, for example, while Mike is an atheist meat-eater who believes in aliens. Natalie also wanted to welcome children right away, but Mike was struggling financially and wanted to wait a while.
The final straw, however, was when a producer asked Natalie if she loved Mike on-camera and she responded by sitting in silence, so their engagement was called off.
The couple were totally at odds during 90 Day Fiance Season 7's Tell-All special, with Natalie accusing Mike of betraying her trust by having spent the night over a female friend's place. Mike, however, insisted he was totally innocent.
Natalie and Mike's relationship was therefore "on hold" at the time due to Natalie's lack of trust in her partner.
"I'm out of the relationship," Natalie said, adding that communicating with Mike was like talking to a wall at times.

When the Tell-All host Shaun Robinson flat out asked Natalie if she loved Mike, Natalie responded with, "I'm cautious."
"I don't want to go through another divorce. And I told him a million times that. And there was a moment he hurt me a lot, and Michael knows what was the moment. I'm not going to discuss it here," Natalie explained.
"I have feelings for Michael but I love myself more."
Natalie said she loved Mike when they began the K-1 process, suggesting she had fallen out of love with Mike. Natalie said things happened that forced her to push Mike away.

Mike revealed Natalie's K-1 visa was still processing, but she was afraid to move to the United States if their fighting and bickering was just going to continue.
Natalie said if the incident regarding Mike's female friend never happened, she would love him with all her heart.
Shaun then asked Mike if he'd be willing to return to Ukraine and work things out with Natalie and possibly win her back.
"Yeah," Mike responded.
And Natalie explained on the Tell-All, "That's why I push him, because I don't understand what to expect from him. I cannot move to America for a man who can do stuff like he did. And I didn't even tell you all."

The last fans saw of Mike and Natalie was Mike saying he planned to travel to Ukraine soon in order to fix things with Natalie and hopefully salvage their relationship because he wanted to be happily married with children in the near future.
While Mike and Natalie continued to film their love story for Season 8 of 90 Day Fiance, things don't look good for the couple, according to a trailer recently released by TLC for the new season premiering Sunday, December 6.
"Let's let our journey begin," Mike says as he toasts champagne with Natalie.
But then Mike and Natalie quickly start fighting, which results in Natalie refusing to unpack her suitcases.
Later in the preview, Mike apologizes to Natalie, who cries, "You're sending me home!"
"I don't know what to say," Mike replies.
Natalie then says in a confessional, "I'm honestly scared, but I have to leave the country because I'm illegal here."
After Mike apologizes for the second time, Natalie vents, "Michael is a monster!"
It then appears Mike's mom drives Natalie away, presumably to the airport, with Natalie sobbing and breaking down in the passenger seat.
So are Mike and Natalie still together and married -- or did the 90 Day Fiance couple up?
After Season 7 of 90 Day Fiance wrapped, Mike and Natalie were spotted together in the United States several times in January 2020.ADVERTISEMENT
At one of the sightings, Mike was spotted waiting at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport with flowers in his hands and a camera crew nearby.

The next day, the Instagram account Fraudedbytlc posted a photo of Mike and Natalie walking side-by-side at Seattle's historic Pike Place Market as a camera crew filmed them, presumably for the upcoming eighth season of 90 Day Fiance.
If Natalie traveled to the United States on a K-1 visa in January, she would have only 90 days to marry him in order to stay in the country permanently.
And Natalie confirmed her relationship status at the time when she shared May 24 on Instagram, "We Get Married!" (But the wedding must have taken place beforehand per the 90 day-requirement).
A few days later, Natalie captioned another photo of the couple, "Love is very meaningful for us."
On June 22, 2020, Natalie posted a photo with Mike and wrote, "Amazing #dinner with #lovely husband! thanks for #90dayfiance #love #faith #nataliemordovtseva #mikeyoungquist #couplegoals."
Two days later, Natalie captioned a funny photo of the pair driving, "#driving like crazy with my #husband #mikeyoungquist #nataliemordovtseva #natalie90dayfiance #90dayfiance."
And on June 25, Natalie wrote alongside a selfie of the couple by the water, "This is how we spend our time together #90dayfiance #natalie90dayfiance #nataliemordovtseva #mike90dayfiance #mikeyoungquist #love #couple #couplegoals."
Natalie's Instagram account has since been deactivated or deleted.
