Marcia posted a selfie with Mike on Saturday, September 25 while they were apparently partying at the Hilton Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa.
Marcia captioned the post, "Shenanigans in Vegas. #AmazingDude #90dayfiance #bigmike90dayfiance #SweetHeart," clearly calling Mike an "amazing dude" in addition to a "sweetheart."

The following day, Marcia posted a slideshow of photos in which she and Mike were being playful and flirtatious with each other in a pool.
One of the pictures showed that Mike has also met Marcia's young son.
"Sunday funday with my favorite people #bigmike90dayfiance #90dayfiance #SweetestGuy #BigHeart #GreatTimes," Marcia wrote alongside the images tagged in Henderson, Nevada.
Both Mike and Marcia reportedly declined comment on their current relationship, but In Touch reported that Mike and Natalie have yet to officially file for divorce.
Around the time dating rumors began to swirl about Mike and Marcia, Natalie -- who is currently living in Florida -- posted some cute throwback pictures with Mike, calling them "sweet memories" from four years ago when they were "happy" and in love.

Marcia competed on the third season of the Rock of Love franchise, which featured 20 bachelorettes competing for Bret on a tour bus.

Marcia was eliminated in the fourth episode but went on to appear on the VH1 reality shows Charm School and I Love Money.
As for Mike and Natalie, they starred on Season 7 of 90 Day Fiance before appearing on Season 6 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?.
Mike was a 35-year-old from Sequim, Washington, when he met Natalie, who was a 35-year-old from Kyiv, Ukraine, through a mutual friend.

Mike and Natalie seemed to fall in love at first sight, but as they got to know one another better, they discovered some major differences -- such as the fact Natalie is a religious vegetarian and Mike is an atheist meat-eater.
Natalie also struggled with jealousy issues and mistrust. She once accused Mike of hooking up with his best friend Sarah, which Mike and Sarah totally denied.
On Season 8 of 90 Day Fiance, Natalie was shown moving to America on her K-1 visa and struggling to feel comfortable in Mike's home in Sequim in the middle of the woods. She apparently hated being a "basic housewife" and lashed out at Mike 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.
Although Mike initially had cold feet about marrying Natalie and called off their wedding, they ended up tying the knot in April 2020.

After their wedding, Mike felt like nothing he could do for Natalie was ever enough.
Natalie also felt Mike's mother Trish hated her, and she eventually started spending a lot of time with a girlfriend named Julia and stopped sleeping at Mike's house.
Natalie broke up with Mike because she claimed she was "suffering" and their relationship was "toxic," but Mike wasn't ready to throw in the towel and get a divorce, although he was starting to believe that Natalie never really loved him.
On 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s sixth-season Tell-All event, Natalie confirmed, "We're not together. I moved. I'm not in Washington anymore. I am in Florida."
Natalie also claimed Mike was work-obsessed and never gave her the attention she needed.
"I was feeling unworthy and terrible, and [I was] not wanting to live," Natalie confessed. "I don't want to stay on antidepressants."
Jovi Dufren and Yara Zaya then called Natalie out for bringing another man to New Orleans. Natalie insisted he's from the "Russian community" and was just a friend, but no one was buying the story she was selling.
"She has my bank card," Mike announced. "Still, to this day... I plan on filing [for divorce]."
Mike explained, "She lives on the other side of the United States and has no desire or interest to come back to Washington. I cannot just quit my job and change my whole life."

Mike was prepared to leave the door open for reconciliation, but he confirmed on Part 2 of the Tell-All special their relationship was over for good.
"I say to him, 'Thank you, God bless you. All the best,'" Natalie told the Tell-All host Shaun Robinson. "Where am I going to live? I don't know. Maybe I'll move to Ukraine. Maybe I find way to stay here."
Uncle Beau told In Touch in late March 2021 that Mike and Natalie had broken up and she hadn't been home "for a couple of months now."
"She can stay away for all I care," he noted.
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."
Uncle Beau then drove home that Mike was single in May, when he told the magazine, "Mikey and I are having fun again now that I'm single too. That's right, well there's more fish in the sea."
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.
In mid-June, Natalie actually revealed that she dumped and left Mike "abruptly and permanently" because their marriage had apparently reached the point where he was annoying her.
"I don't understand how you can kiss a man if you don't want him anymore; if everything within your soul has cooled to the point you feel nothing when he looks at you," Natalie wrote on Instagram at the time.
