90 Day Fiance star Eric Rosenbrook has denied he married Leida Margaretha before she came to America.

Speculation that Eric had married Leida, a 29-year-old from Jakarta, Indonesia, in an overseas ceremony late last year had surfaced among 90 Day Fiance viewers after they discovered Eric had posted a photo showing the couple wearing formal wedding attire -- a white gown and suit, flower bouquet, boutonniere and all -- on his Facebook page in December 2017.

The Facebook posting's comments also included Eric, a 40-year-old avionics technician and former U.S. Marine from Baraboo, WI, replying "November 30 in Jakarta" when a commenter had asked "When did you get married?," according to screenshots obtained by Starcasm.

That date was well before Leida arrived in New York City in early June 2018 as shown on 90 Day Fiance's currently-airing sixth season.

However, Eric recently took to Instagram to set the record straight.

"Just so we're clear on the picture of us floating around out there and the article about us being married in Jakarta: It was a commitment ceremony. Nothing more," Eric explained.

"It allowed us to travel her country together alone. They don't allow unmarried, non related men and women to travel alone together. No documentation was filed with either Indonesia or United States. It was strictly symbolic. If you doubt this, go ahead and inquire with the State Dept. of WI."

According to Starcasm, Leida had also posted a photo of an invitation to the couple's alleged American "wedding celebration" in January 2018 -- adding more evidence to the idea the 90 Day Fiance stars were already married by the time Leida arrived in America in June.

"States side wedding... Another ceremony, another reception, another after party, another 'round' as well....?" she reportedly wrote alongside it.

Leida also reportedly mentioned "returning" to the United States when discussing her then-upcoming June trip, suggesting she clearly had traveled to America before.

Eric and Leida met in Indonesia in 2016 after Leida responded to a personal ad on an international website posted by the divorced father of three.

After only two days together, Eric proposed marriage, and then Leida's K-1 visa was approved.

Although Eric claims the couple did not marry when fans suspected, the pair's recent social media postings have pretty clearly given away -- as has Eric's daughter Tasha -- that they are still together and happy.

Leida's five-year-old son Allessandro also appears to live with them in the United States.

The latest episode of 90 Day Fiance featured Eric and Leida starting to plan their wedding in the United States.

Eric said he set aside a few thousand dollars for their nuptials, and the couple checked out a modest hotel ballroom for the reception and also met with a florist.
