Tania and Syngin found fame on Season 7 of 90 Day Fiance after meeting in a bar in South Africa, where Syngin worked as the bartender.RELATED LINK: '90 DAY FIANCE' COUPLES NOW: WHERE ARE THEY NOW? WHO IS STILL TOGETHER? WHO HAS SPLIT? (PHOTOS)
Tania and Syngin initially intended to just have some fun and a one-night stand, but they ended up spending more time together in South Africa. Tania said she fell in love with Syngin in just four days, and so she extended her spontaneous trip in South Africa.
Once Tania made it back to the United States, she applied for Syngin's K-1 visa so he could move to America and eventually become the father of her children.
But as the couple got to know each other in their 90 days before getting married, Tania and Syngin realized they had some problems to overcome.
Tania, for example, said she wanted to have a baby within three years and continue "pumping them out" afterwards, but Syngin said he'd like to travel and have fun first. Syngin apparently had no issue waiting 7-10 years to become a dad.
Syngin also felt like Tania was always in control of their relationship, and he didn't like feeling tied down with a lack of freedom.
"It's almost like you wrote the story and I'm just a character in it," complained Syngin, a self-declared free spirit.
The couple also fought while Tania studied natural medicine and remedies in Costa Rica for three weeks. Tania didn't feel the need to call and check-in with Syngin after a night of partying with her friends, and Syngin felt "abandoned."
"You're not my father," Tania complained, saying that she needed more breathing room. "I love that you care... but I can't give you everything that you need."
Once Tania returned home, Tania expressed her frustration over the fact Syngin had so many goals, such as becoming a woodworker or fireman, but he wasn't working to achieve any of them.

But Tania apologized and convinced Syngin that he was The One for her, so the couple decided to go through with a wedding in Connecticut by renting an Air BnB with a big backyard decorated with candles and flowers.
The pair symbolically connected their love through matching tattoos instead of rings. They both had the Sagittarius symbol tattooed on their left hand's ring finger to represent travel and the power of their relationship.
On Season 5 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, Tania and Syngin moved out of Tania's mother's she-shed and into a house of their own after Tania hurt her foot in an accident.
Since Tania was unable to bartend due to her injury, Syngin's work permit was expedited so he could work and provide for them. Syngin, however, wasn't able to secure a job at a local Irish pub.
To make matters worse, Tania felt like she was married to "two different people."
Tania told her friend that half of Syngin was an adult with big dreams and the other half was a party animal without a care in the world.
Tania's patience was wearing thin and she believed her marriage had become stagnant, while Syngin confessed he was feeling "pressure" and "a little suffocated" over the couple's finances and Tania's expectations of him.

"I didn't come here to make my life here... I just don't think America is where I want to raise kids... I don't know why. It's a great country and everything is awesome, but I just don't feel it's going to work here," Tania told his wife at dinner one night.
Tania said she wanted to make a one to three-year plan with Syngin and start a new chapter, but Syngin admitted he wasn't totally ready to be committed.
"I'm scared of having children and being tied down to certain things and not being able to express my true self," Syngin said, adding that he didn't want to feel "stuck."
Syngin called the situation "complicated" and admitted their futures didn't exactly align.
"I sometimes think, like, if we know this now, why are we still continuing with the relationship now?" Syngin asked his wife.
Syngin said he was rushed into marriage because of the K-1 visa and feeling homesick. He hoped there could be some compromise or else Syngin admitted "that'll be the end of us."
"I know change really needs to happen or else this ain't gonna work," Syngin told Tania.
Syngin and Tania then traveled to South Africa to visit with his brother Dylan, who was recovering from a life-threatening blood clot.
Before heading to the airport, Tania told Syngin that she didn't want to see him party hard with his friends and get drunk in South Africa, but Syngin told her not to worry about him or fight with him in front of his friends.
The couple bickered before their trip, and Syngin admitted they can say "mean" things to each other sometimes which makes a situation "really toxic."
"I think definitely this trip to South Africa will show me some type of clarity if I'm [making] the right decision in staying in America and the wrong decision leaving -- but that has yet to be determined," Syngin told the cameras.

Tania was apparently annoyed and a little worried Syngin was so excited.
Syngin admitted to his mother and sister that there was tension in his marriage and he and Tania were just very "different people."
"We make each other happy, but we make each other angry and sad as well," Syngin pointed out. "But I want to just make each other happy... I don't want to waste any more time."
Syngin didn't want to stay with Tania for two more years just to break up at that point, and so he confessed he was "confused" and didn't know where he stood.
When Syngin visited with his brother, he said living in the United States wasn't all sunshine and roses. He was upset that he hadn't made a good friend yet in the United States.
"It's not the perfect life -- at all," Syngin said.
But Tania was tired of Syngin complaining, saying, "It's not the greatest country, but it's also not f-cking horrible."
Tania worried Syngin being with his family in South Africa might persuade him to move back to his native country and leave her.
Syngin then met up with the roommates, Andrew and James, he had while living in South Africa, and the three guys celebrated Syngin's return with beers, shots and more. There was cheering, banging on the table, chugging and yelling.
When Syngin's friends asked him about Tania, Syngin replied, "Good sex can make you feel in love," he admitted he wasn't sure whether he was ready to make such a big commitment in getting married.

"I'm having a lot of fun right now -- so much f-cking fun I might never go home. I love this f-cking country dude," Syngin told his friends.
Later on, Tania and Syngin enjoyed a "braai," which is a barbecue using wood in South Africa, with Syngin's family.
Syngin told his loved ones that he'd love to have land and raise a family in South Africa. Syngin said he realized he was missing out on life in South Africa when he had a fun night out with his friends.
"It really does make me think if being in America is the right decision for me right now," Syngin told the cameras.
Tania explained to Syngin's loved ones that she didn't want to raise a family in South Africa because of the poverty and racism, and Tania said she wanted her kids to grow up with people from so many different cultures and backgrounds.
"If we're going to have kids..." Tania began.
"Kids? Who said that's ever going to happen?" Syngin asked.
Tania rolled her eyes and asked Syngin to "bring it down a notch." She said Syngin was well aware children were a part of her plan even before they got married and so it wasn't okay for him to flip a switch like that.
"America's not my f-cking dream," Syngin noted.
Syngin's stepfather asked Tania to give Syngin time to get his footing in America since he missed his family and didn't have many friends, but Tania just wanted Syngin to "try out a couple" of his goals. Syngin had already been living in the United States for a couple of years, and Tania said she just wanted him to focus on something.

Tania started to cry at the dinner table and told Syngin that he didn't need a work permit just to try stuff. Tania said Syngin had "no direction" and she was not feeling heard or appreciated.
Tania left the table in tears, and Syngin told his family that he didn't want to be married if life was going to be like this.
Syngin said he never wanted to feel belittled and he's simply a laidback procrastinator.
"If two years isn't enough, then we shouldn't do this anymore," Tania told Syngin. "[I've given] you so many chances that you've failed at. You've broken so many promises. That I'm still here is amazement."
Syngin said Tania didn't see or appreciate how much he's changed and sacrificed for her, and he apparently wasn't certain he could be happy with Tania long-term.
Once things calmed down and the pair went to a winery, Tania told Syngin that she wanted to work on things and not struggle for the next 10 years.
Syngin said he wanted to work on having a "healthy" marriage, but he said if times got worse, he believed it would be best to end the marriage and go their separate ways.
Tania acknowledged Syngin knew what she wanted and needed, and so it was up to him to change and make things happen.

According to Syngin's friends Andrew and James, Syngin and Tania seemed "worlds apart" and sometimes "love is not enough."
"I threw out my plans when I met Syngin, and I'm ready to get back to my plans," Tania said in a confessional. "I really need to do some thinking."

Did Syngin and Tania break up and end their marriage, or is the 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? couple still together?
Tania and Syngin are definitely still married and together despite the many issues they appeared to have on Season 5 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?.In late August, Tania captioned a slideshow of many photos with Syngin and tagged their location as North-South Lake Campground.
The pair were all smiles as they cooked food at a campfire and took in some beautiful views on a cliff.
"Camping trip with my lover. Such an amazing, beautiful, and fun time! With my foot still not back to 100% I'm So greatful there were easy and short hikes with breathtaking views. #LoveLife #NatureLover #TravelWithT #travelwithme #stateparks #90dayfiance #TaniaandSyngin #campinglife #campinggear," Tania captioned her slideshow.
In early August, Tania posted a selfie of her driving with Syngin in the car, following by a sweet photo of the couple posing in each other's arms.
"Lovin life by his side," Tania captioned the photo, clearly giving away they are still married. "#90dayfiance #taniaandsyngin #lovinlife #naturelovers."

Going back to July, Tania posted a photo of herself cuddling up to Syngin in a pool. While the photo was an ad intended to sell sunglasses, it appears the photo was taken this summer, and she added the hashtag "#taniaandsyngin" to the post.
Tania also made it clear Syngin is still her husband on July 7 when discussing their upcoming one-year wedding anniversary.
Along with a throwback photo from their wedding, Tania wrote in the caption, "Our wedding aired last night in #Italy. Fitting because @syngin_colchester and I are looking into options for our 1 year anniversary celebration."
"Tag below your favorite hotel, bed & breakfast, Inn, glamping, Yurt, tree house, orday boat rentals in New England... #90dayfiance #90dayhappilyeverafter #anniversary #newenglandfineliving #airbnb #taniaandsyngin #travelwithme #TravelWithT #TravelWithTania #newengland #beachrental #lakehouserental," she added.
And on that same day, Tania revealed she and Syngin went out for pizza and will "def be going" to the same place again.

In a June 21 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Syngin said he and Tania were "doing well," and Tania shared they're still living in Connecticut "in our new place."
"We are both in a good place of mind and have a good mindset," Syngin said after he and Tania both declined to confirm flat out whether they're still together.
"We're doing good!... We are quarantining together," Tania added.

As the interview progressed, Tania let down her guard a little bit more and dropped major hints she and Syngin are still a married couple.
"I definitely know our souls were destined to cross paths... Do I see myself with you forever? I do! And do I see you being the father of my children? I do! And do I see us being old and cranky together waiting for kids to come home on the bus? I do," Tania gushed.
"If relationships were built only on love, we'd have the best relationship ever. But we're two individual people with our own habits, likes, dislikes, minds and thoughts. And if we can blend all of that together, then we'll see."
On the topic of having kids, Tania said she'd like to start planning for the future but doesn't want to pressure Syngin to have babies at the same time.
"I'd like to plan that with my husband," Tania said, confirming she's still Syngin's wife.
The couple has documented their love for each other and fun outings dating back months and month.
For example, on June 30, Syngin posted a selfie and captioned it, "A fun night out @mohegansun before covid 19 hit us...#beforecovid19 #COVID-19 #coronavirus #gambling #datenight #casino #funtimes #marriedlife #couple #90dayfiance #tlc #tvshow #realityshow #realitytv #tv #sexy #90dayfiancehappilyeverafter #love #instagood #happiness."

"After being here for a day, walking around some, no one recognized us and felt kinda good. Then.. late at night we hear 'Good night Tania and Syngin!' We just laughed yelled back good night {insert random names}! So weird, random, and dont think we'll ever get used to it," Tania captioned the picture.

Three days earlier, Syngin teased the couple's upcoming appearance on 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s fifth season, hinting they're still in love by writing hashtags such as "#crazylove" and "#sexycouple."
"To all the ups and downs and to the next round hahaha. Here we go season 5 of happily ever after, or is it happily ever after. Are you ready???" Syngin wrote.
"I can tell you that there has been a lot of changes and soooo much has happend, its kinda crazy so stay tuned to see what happens..14th of june 8pm ET... #crazylove #gingerhair #goodtimes #filming #couples #sexycouple #instagood #love."
On April 22, Tania posted photos of herself tubing with Syngin, and they clearly had a great time together.
"When we went tubing and we... put champagne in a ginger beer bottle, lost each other for a while, I fell off at the drop and thought I was gonna drown, brought my phone in a ziplock bag inside of a travel liquid clear bag that survived being submerged more times than I could count," she recalled in her post.
"Oh the fun we had that day!!!...#LazyTubing #90dayfiance #Tubing #SummerFun #FunInTheSun #Summertime #LazyRiver #ItWasntLazy #ItWasWork #synginandtania."
And going all the way back to late February, Tania shared photos from their wedding with a caption that seemingly came straight from her heart.
