Natalie Mordovtseva’s relationship with her friend Juliana on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? is suspected to be more than just friendship by some fans, after Mike Youngquist’s revelations. Episode 12 came as a massive shock to fans, with Trish claiming that she hadn’t called Natalie the H-word and Mike sharing what happened at Christmas. The Christmas Eve incident with Natalie fleeing Sequim after lying to Mike was exposed by Uncle Beau and Tamara Authier, although some details were left unsaid. However, whatever Mike spoke of in his high-pitched voice about Natalie and Juliana, along with a clandestine conversation between the ladies in Russian on 90 Day Fiancé, is making fans suspect that there’s a romantic storyline in there somewhere.
Surely, it was Matt and Svetlana (Mike and Natalie’s friends staying in America) who had introduced them, as per 90 Day Fiancé season 7. However, there has been no mention of the couple or their baby, whom Mike and Natalie were the godparents of since season 8. Natalie claimed she was lonely in the woods and said that Tamara was her only best friend.
Tamara later became her bridesmaid in the US. Nonetheless, on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 6 episode 10, Natalie introduced TLC viewers to a new friend she’d made in Seattle, Juliana. The same episode saw Michael lashing out at Natalie for telling Juliana about her nose operation before she told him.
Are Juliana and Natalie “More Than Just Friends”?
A Reddit user orpren shared a screenshot of Natalie and Juliana from the upcoming episode 14’s preview and wrote, “I’m calling it now. These two are more than just friends.” In the comments, those agreeing with the OP added, “I thought the same thing when the camera panned to the friends face at the end of that convo. Definitely felt like something is up” and “I was thinking the same thing! At the very least Julia has some kinda of feelings for Natalie.” However, according to the Russian 90 Day Fiancé fans on the thread, this is how Russian women are with each other. One fan had observed that Eastern European women come across as “very affectionate” and tend to use loving terminology with friends and family. “It's like they're just big on supporting each other no matter what,” the TLC viewer noted.
Natalie Seeks Emotional Support From Juliana
On the day of Natalie’s nose operation, after she’d fought with Mike over the Oklahoma incident, she’d gone over to Juliana’s place in his big blue truck. This week on HEA, Natalie and Juliana met over tea and coffee, where she remarked, “Because me and Michael have a lot of fights, I’m getting closer with Juliana. I need emotional connection and she gives me that.” Juliana, in turn, said something like, “you are so soft and feminine, and beautiful.” She told Natalie that Mike was a gaslighter and manipulator and that she should “let go of the boob already.” Considering the fact that Mike's first wife left him for a woman, he may feel threatened by Juliana's presence in his and Natalie's relationship.
Mike’s Revelations About Natalie & Juliana Leave Fans Flabbergasted
During her explosive phone call with Trish, the subject of what Natalie did on Christmas was brought up. Mike claimed that Natalie had taken all the gifts he’d given her for Christmas and gone to Juliana to give them to her and her family. “This is true,” Natalie said, and even revealed that she had a room at Juliana’s place where she stayed instead of spending her nights at Mike’s.
Additionally, the preview scene from episode 14 of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? showed Natalie telling Juliana, “I won’t take it anymore. I don’t want to live there.” Juliana replied, “stay with me now,” which seems to have started fan speculation about their romantic involvement.
