Caesar Mack was a 46-year-old nail technician from Jacksonville, NC and Maria was a 28-year-old from Kiev, Ukraine when they appeared on Season 3 of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days.
The season largely featured Caesar traveling to Cancun, Mexico to meet Maria for the first time after five years of dating and communicating over the phone.
Maria had allegedly skipped out on plans to meet Caesar multiple times before their scheduled Cancun trip, leaving Caesar's friends and 90 Day Fiance viewers questioning whether Maria had just been using him for money.
Maria never showed up to Cancun during the season, but her flight reservation had been cancelled due to insufficient funds in Caesar's account. Maria seemed fed up and tired of trying to make her relationship work, so she broke up with Caesar when he was in Cancun alone.
"The faith you have in that woman is unbelievable. I think she understood the jig was up and she couldn't string him along anymore. She either showed up this time or she knew she had to say it was over, but I don't think she was in it for the right reasons," Caesar's co-star Rebecca Parrot told him at the Tell-All.
And 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days star Timothy Malcolm told Caesar that while he felt sorry for him, Caesar had ignored so many red flags with Maria.
"Five years, three canceled trips -- and it almost seems like you're still defending her!" Timothy pointed out. "You got scammed, and that's it."
Footage then played at the Tell-All of Maria saying she and Caesar were just friends and if he wanted a girl like her, he'd have to make more money.
Maria, who admitted she was talking to other guys while she was dating Caesar, appeared detached and nonchalant when talking about her former relationship with Caesar.
"I think you dodged a bullet to be fair," Caesar's co-star Tom Brooks told him. "I think she's done you a favor."
Maria argued, however, she had really considered Caesar to be her boyfriend for the last two years. She also alleged he had never sent her about $40,000, which is what Caesar had claimed.
Maria actually insisted Caesar had never sent her more than $5,000 over the years and she refused to accept his latest offering of $2,000-$3,000.
"She took the money, but -- I'm not going to send you anymore money if that's how it is. If that's how you're going to be, then I'm done," Caesar said. "That's it."
"Okay, calm down," Maria replied.
"I just don't know why she's doing this," Caesar admitted.
When asked whether Caesar finally feels like he had been played, he responded with the following: "I think originally she tried -- and I know you guys think I'm stupid for saying this -- but if the plane ticket was there, I think she would have been there."
Maria claimed she "did" love Caesar, but then she made a face and said, "I really wish him the best no matter what he said and what he's doing to me right now."
Caesar said he should just cut the relationship off but he really wanted to continue trying and make things work. Caesar revealed he still loves her and wants to show the world she's a good person.
Caesar hoped to rekindle what they had lost by flying down to the Ukraine first, but Maria didn't appreciate how Caesar had blamed her for things and pretended like she was "a b-tch" or something like that.
Maria wasn't happy about the picture that had been painted of her. She said everyone loved Caesar because he's American and his side of the story made her look back and now everyone hates her.
Caesar insisted he had tried his best and continued to fight for their romance because she was worth the world to her and was his first love, but Maria didn't respond -- and Caesar's cast members argued she just didn't care. Maria was angry at Caesar for making her look bad.
"He's never said one bad thing about you and actually, to this day, he's still defending him, which he shouldn't be. You used him and you know that!" Avery told Maria.
Michael asked Caesar to just accept the fact Maria wanted him to move on.
Caesar's castmates admitted they were more confused than ever about what was the truth behind Caesar and Maria's relationship, especially since Maria insisted Caesar had not sent her as much money as he had claimed.
