By calling off his wedding to Natalie, Mike Youngquist has become the most villainous cast member on 90 Day Fiancé season 8, and more details about his past have been revealed. So far, no one really knows what happened between Mike and Natalie. For some reason, her fairytale blue lagoon wedding got the boot. Viewers wonder if Natalie did make Mike her husband number three. Sleuthing fans have gathered information about Mike's ex-wife. Although Mike had shared very little about his first wife Kristen on 90 Day Fiancé, new information about her has now come to light.
Things were looking up for Natalie and Mike on 90 Day Fiancé’s episode 14, as she came to terms with her COVID-19-appropriate wedding. Earlier, she was upset because her mom was unable to visit, but Natalie still wanted to finally marry Mike after three months of “will he, won’t he?” The episode also saw former actress Natalie open up about her previous expensive wedding, as 90 Day Fiancé flashed pictures of her with husband #2. Mike and Natalie were both going through divorces when they met through mutual friends. However, Mike’s ex-wife was mentioned just once in season 8, when Natalie called her “low class.”
However, those TLC fans who’d watched Mike and Natalie on 90 Day Fiancé season 7 had heard him talk about his massive weight loss and ex-wife. The branch manager revealed that “it was a short marriage, unfortunately,” and that his wife had left him for another woman. The unexpected divorce (and loneliness that followed) made Natalie’s partner pile on 340 pounds. Mike did manage to lose weight and found Natalie after dating two more people. While these facts were all that was revealed about his first wife on 90 Day Fiancé, a Reddit fan recently shared a photo of Mike with the ex, Kristen. The fan revealed how Mike and Kristen were married in 2015 and divorced by 2016.
The 90 Day Fiancé viewer also mentioned that Kristen has been married to the woman she left Mike for since 2019. According to Kristen’s Facebook, she works at a Californian luxury catering company, as an event and catering manager. She's been doing that job since 2014. It was revealed earlier that Mike’s hometown is Salinas, CA, where he used to live before moving to Sequim. Back in 2012, the former cheerleader Kristen posted about working as a bartender, and a photo indicates that she and Mike had been together in September 2012. Kristen now has her own YouTube channel where she does DIY, home décor, and upcycling tutorials, such as one for twine-wrapped jars, which she's now selling for $20 a pair. Is that why Natalie has launched her own food tutorial channel too?
“So this is who Natalie called low class too, she’s pretty,” commented a 90 Day Fiancé fan on the Reddit post, with the original poster mentioning that “she appears very down to Earth and social.” Another fan claims that both Mike’s ex and Natalie are “out of his league,” and that it’s “no wonder she dumped him.” A lot of flak has been directed towards Mike since the latest episode of 90 Day Fiancé, and although (SPOILER ALERT) rumors suggest that he and Natalie may have had a happy ending, the last-minute wedding cancellation has been flagged as toxic by fans. Will Mike be able to redeem himself and also have a happier wedding 2.0 with Natalie? Only 90 Day Fiancé can Tell-All.
90 Day Fiancé airs Sundays at 8pm EST on TLC.
