Now that Darcey and Stacey Silva have their own 90 Day Fiancé spin-off show on TLC, fans will get an up, close, and personal peek-a-boo into their high-flying lives. And a huge part of the reality TV twin stars’ lives is their father Mike Silva. 90 Day Fiancé fans have been wanting to know more about Darcey & Stacey's dad and his work, so here are some details!
Forty-five-year-old Darcey Silva shot to reality TV fame with 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. And her twin sister Stacey followed her sister’s footsteps to stardom. With a liking for younger, foreign boys, both the Silva sisters found love overseas. While Darcey’s romantic escapades took a downward spiral with both the men she dated on 90 Day Fiancé, twin Stacey and her Albanian love have stayed strong for the last five years. Darcey and Jesse Meester broke things off on a super dramatic note and her relationship with Tom Brooks ended on a really uncomfortable coffee date. Their spin-off Darcey & Stacey however, has the twins pressing re-set on their lives, with Darcey dating a new boyfriend Georgi, and Stacey welcoming her 90 Day Fiancé Florian Sukaj to America. The TLC show also introduces fans to the twins’ parents Mike and Nancy marking their reality TV debut. 90 Day Fiancé viewers enjoyed watching them on screen and clearly, are interested in knowing more, especially about Mike’s work in China.
Mike Silva is first shown on Darcey & Stacey when Darcey updates him about Florian’s alleged cheating scandal and her apparent apprehensions. "My Dad is in China most of the year, he’s been there for 24 years,” says Darcey to the camera while sharing that Mike comes home twice a year for two weeks at a time. “He came down for the holidays and had extended his stay because there’s this coronavirus in China and it’s really uncertain,” adds the 90 Day Fiancé star. Darcey and Stacey’s dad and mom divorced when the twins were 12 but they still get along together as good friends. Stacey reveals that Mike has a fiancé and she’s from China. “We like foreign men and he likes foreign women,” jokes the Darcey & Stacey twin.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Mike or Michael Silva is the Chairman at Maison Worley Parsons. This press release from DNA which talks about the company renaming itself to WorleyParsons China in 2012, and is the largest international Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management (EPCM) service provider in China. “WorleyParsons is a leading global provider of professional services to the resources and energy sectors, and diverse complex process industries,” says the report. The company has clients in the chemicals, hydrocarbons, minerals & metals, power, and infrastructure and environmental industries.
The Darcey & Stacey twins are co-founders of a production company Eleventh Entertainment with father Mike. As per IMDb, the company had produced the 2013 comedy film White T based on twin brothers with dreams to become the biggest rap stars in the game. The 90 Day Fiancé twins had provided background vocals for a song on its soundtrack, and also played minor roles for characters, Chanel and Coco, in the film. In 2015, Mike also produced Soul Ties, a drama based on the novel with the same name by Tee Ashira.
In the first episode of Darcey & Stacey, Darcey says that Mike has always mentored and protected them. Based on his popularity with TLC fans, Mike will surely be seen a lot more on the reality show. If things go as per his and Darcey’s plan, there will also be a confrontation between Mike and Florian very soon. Whether Florian comes clean about his rumored cheating scandal to the patriarch or ends up winning Mike’s trust, just like in Stacey’s case, will be worth watching on the 90 Day Fiancé spin-off.
Darcey & Stacey airs on Sundays at 10pm EST on TLC.
