On Season 7 of 90 Day Fiance, Mike and Natalie discovered they had major differences during a trip Mike had taken to Ukraine while they waited for Natalie's K-1 visa to be approved.
Natalie said she wanted to have children right away and is a religious vegetarian, while Mike was hoping to save money for a while and revealed he's an atheist meat-eater.
The couple also had a blowout fight when Natalie decided to give her engagement ring back to Mike, saying she wasn't in love with him anymore. Mike was apparently left feeling confused and "lost."
On the Tell-All special, Natalie also accused Mike of cheating on her with his best female friend, Sarah. Mike, however, insisted his relationship with Sarah has always been innocent and platonic, and Sarah later backed Mike up on that.
Season 8 of 90 Day Fiance then featured Natalie moving to America on her K-1 visa and struggling to feel comfortable in Mike's home in the middle of the woods. She apparently hated being a "basic housewife" and lashed out at Mike from time to time when she felt ignored.
Natalie once called Mike overweight and a "low-class drunk," and Mike in turn felt constantly disrespected. He even told Natalie at one point that her beauty was "ugly" if she fails to act beautiful on the inside.
However, love was at the root of the couple's relationship, and so Mike eventually decided to give Natalie her engagement ring back and help her plan their wedding.
But Mike came down with a serious case of cold feet on his April 2020 wedding day and decided to call the whole thing off. Natalie therefore insisted her relationship was "over" three days before her K-1 visa was set to expire.
In order to not lose Natalie, however, Mike had a change of heart and decided to tie the knot.
During the Season 8 Tell-All special, Natalie appeared angry and wasn't wearing her engagement ring again. She claimed she had left the ring at home so it wouldn't get stolen -- which more than half of the Season 8 cast didn't believe.

Natalie went on to accuse Mike of cheating on her before their wedding -- which he denied -- and Trish called the couple's relationship "sketchy" and "a mess."
Trish apparently had such serious reservation about Natalie and Mike getting married that she asked Mike's neighbor Tamara to stand up at the wedding and reject to the couple's union.
On the sixth-season premiere of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, Mike admitted he felt like nothing he ever did for Natalie was good enough, and she wondered if he was taking their marriage seriously.
Natalie fought with Mike on his birthday about a woman allegedly sending him a picture of her breasts, but she eventually apologized for bringing up the past on a day of celebration.
Mike joked that Natalie was like "a sour patch kid" in that she's sour and then sweet in the end. He was glad Natalie "recognized her faults" from the previous night and would attempt to stop picking fights.
Mike knew, however, he had another hill to climb considering Natalie and his mother Trish were about to reunite and spend some time together in Oklahoma, which turned out to be a pretty tense time.
Trish pushed Natalie's buttons in Oklahoma right away by bringing up her desire for grandkids quickly and suggesting Natalie should get a job as a language interpreter.

Mike admitted to his mom that he needed "more" from his wife because he chipped in with household chores and obligations after getting home from work, and Trish agreed Natalie could be "more responsible" and take better care of Mike.

Natalie felt "annoyed" because she believed Trish was trying to find her weaknesses and point out her faults.
"She's been very judgmental about my goals, my career, my life," Natalie noted. "It's really difficult... Mike better stand up for me, because I don't feel like staying there and keep being insulted... I would never treat a houseguest like this."
On Thanksgiving day, Natalie also told Mike that Trish had allegedly called her "a hooker" while they were cooking dinner together.
Mike didn't believe his mother had called Natalie that word and that maybe Natalie had taken something out of context or misunderstood an exchange, but she insisted Trish had in fact called her "a hooker." Natalie suggested, however, if it was a joke Trish had made then she didn't appreciate it.
Natalie told the cameras she felt "disgusted," especially when Trish brought up wanting grandchildren again during Thanksgiving dinner. Natalie said she wanted to wait until she could secure a job first and contribute money to the household.
Trish called Natalie "a child" in a confessional and said it didn't seem like Natalie and Mike were made for each other in the long run.
When Natalie and Mike were about to leave Oklahoma, Natalie wasn't in the best mood. Her mother had apparently advised her to stop talking to Trish since Trish had allegedly insulted Natalie.
Mike called Natalie "rude" and "a child," and Trish just replied, "Okay," with no recollection of how she had insulted or offended Natalie.
"I'm the big, bad Mommy!" Trish said with a laugh.

Mike asked Natalie to share which jokes had made her angry, but Natalie replied, "I am too high for it to repeat."
Mike became increasingly more frustrated because he wanted Natalie to talk things out with Trish and give Trish a chance to explain what she might have meant by a comment.
"She did nothing to you, so why are you acting like this?!" Mike shouted.
Natalie snapped that she just wanted to leave, and Mike called Natalie "ridiculous" and "disrespectful." Trish then recommended that Mike give Natalie $5,000 and then send her back to Ukraine.
Trish lamented about how Natalie always threw a temper tantrum and had to change. Trish said she wasn't going to walk on eggshells around Natalie.
It was a silent ride to the airport in Oklahoma, and Mike barked at Natalie to get her head out of her ass. Natalie felt like Trish was Mike's priority and she could say or do whatever she wanted and get away with it.
"I feel like sometimes I'm in a bed not with Michael but with Trish, and I'm sorry -- I am done with it," Natalie vented in a confessional.
Mike couldn't believe that Natalie wouldn't even say goodbye to Trish or thank her for being able to stay at her house.
"I think when we get home, I need to look at my life and re-evaluate myself and Natalie. I need to figure sh-t out," Mike said.
So are Mike and Natalie still married and together now or did the 90 Day Fiance couple break up and divorce?
According to online records, Mike and Natalie tied the knot in Clallam County, Washington on April 15, 2020, In Touch Weekly reported.But the couple's marriage apparently didn't last a full year.

Mike's Uncle Beau Lawrence, 51, told In Touch in late March 2021 that Mike and Natalie had recently separated.
Not only is there no trace of Natalie on Mike's Instagram account and vice versa, but Beau told the magazine at the time, "[Natalie] has not been home for a couple of months now. She can stay away for all I care."
When asked if he believes Mike and Natalie's relationship is over for good, Beau replied, "I'm really hoping so. I pray to God, yes."
Natalie appeared to confirm her split from Mike on April 27, 2021 by sharing a link on Instagram Stories asking her followers to vote her onto the cover of Maxim magazine, In Touch reported.
In the original biographical information she posted on her voting page, Natalie hinted at her breakup with Mike by listing herself as a cast member of 90 Day: The Single Life, the new 90 Day Fiance spinoff which features single or divorced former 90 Day Fiance stars searching for love and navigating post-relationship life.
However, it appears Natalie has since deleted the 90 Day: The Single Life mention.
It appears Natalie may have signed on to an as-of-yet unannounced second season of the new spinoff.
Natalie described herself as "an actress and reality TV star" in her bio blurb and also listed the other shows she has appeared on.

In addition to 90 Day Fiance's seventh and eighth seasons, Natalie also listed 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?.
"I wrote a book about life in [the] U.S.," Natalie also wrote in the bio -- an apparent reference to her previously announced plans to write a tell-all book.

"Mikey and I are having fun again now that I'm single too. That's right, well there's more fish in the sea," Beau told In Touch.
The guys apparently enjoyed a boys' night out in which they had a barbecue, drank beers and sat by a bonfire.
"Live life to the fullest. Everyday is a great day to live. #life#saturdayvibes #bondfire#goodfood#friendsandfamily#90daysfiance," Mike captioned two video clips on Saturday, one of which showed his new husky dog that Natalie has also posed with on her own Instagram account.
And 90 Day Fiance Instagrammer John Yates reported on June 2, 2021 that Mike was spotted out with a different blonde woman.
"Looks like Mike has a new girl in his life and when I asked if they were just friends I was told they definitely looked like a couple -- good for him I guess," John captioned his post.

John apparently posted a message he had received from an alleged eyewitness claiming to have seen Mike with "a lean, thin girl with blonde hair" while hiking in Washington, where Mike lives.
"The area is secluded, danger signs and warning of trespassing on the side they were on," the person wrote to John. "To my surprise, [the] blonde smiled as we approached and said something about taking the more dangerous path [because it] makes [for] the best adventures."
This person said Mike and the blonde woman dangled their legs over a cliff and were "nice and friendly."
But back in Spring 2020, it seemed Mike and Natalie's relationship was going strong after their wedding.
In June 2020, Natalie reportedly posted a photo of herself cuddling up to Mike by the water and she wrote, "This is how we spend our time together #90dayfiance #natalie90dayfiance #nataliemordovtseva #mike90dayfiance #mikeyoungquist #love #couple #couplegoals."

Natalie's Instagram mainly just shows modeling photos and selfies now.
Viewers speculated in February 2021 Mike and Natalie may have reconciled because they were both in Los Angeles at the same time, but it appears they were just in California to film 90 Day Fiance's Season 8 Tell-All special.
