Newbie 90 Day Fiancé star Mike Berk has revealed inside details of his relationship with Colombian girlfriend Ximena Morales Cuellar who he’ll be annoying with his farts on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. Out of the seven new couples being introduced on the new season Mike and Ximena caught everyone’s attention after she spoke about living with a hitman in the teaser. “He had me locked up,” Ximena told Mike, who was looking to propose to her after having lived 34 years as a single man. But then came the end of the clip where upon being rejected by Ximena, Mike was seen running and channeling his inner Paul Staehle.
A write-up about Mike and Ximena’s storyline talks about the 34-year-old man from New York meeting Ximena, 24 on an international dating app. The single mom Ximena, who fans initially confused with another Ximena who was with Ricky Reyes in 90 Day Fiancé spin-off's season 2, seemingly doesn’t know a single word of English. To make matters worse, Mike speaks very little Spanish and the couple uses a translator app. Given the disastrous history of couples using translation devices on 90 Day Fiancé, one can expect that Mike and Ximena’s relationship is a trainwreck in the making.
But in a recent interview with The List, Mike suggested that he’s still together with his 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days lover Ximena. When asked what was it about Ximena that first caught his attention, Mike simply said, “her personality.” Ximena had shown Mike her family and son, who he thinks is “amazing” on video chat. While Mike thinks that Ximena does “look amazing” he says that’s “not the whole thing.” In conclusion, he gushed, “But yeah, just overall, just yeah, just, like, Ximena.”
It was during February or March 2020 that Mike decided to try an international dating app out of boredom. “I didn't think anything of it and I matched. I'm like, oh. We started talking,” he added. Around the same time Mike saw a call for the casting of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days and decided to apply. He initially never heard back but after he finally did, everyone around Mike told him he was “crazy.” However, Mike told them, “I don't mind doing it.” His friends and family wanted to watch out for Mike and reminded him about how “people are always looking out for money and things like that.” Still, Mike insists that Ximena is “definitely not like that.”
Although their hard long-distance 90 Day Fiancé relationship and communication gap did happen to get some jealousy involved. As of now, Mike will be bracing for his big reality TV debut by following the mantra of, “if you know the person is for you, ignore all the haters and just be you.” He says that he isn’t listening to or reading any comments and is continuing to do his everyday job as a volunteer at the fire department in New York City. Regardless, with just a few days left until they officially visit TV screens via 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, fans cannot wait to see what Mike and Ximena have in store.
