Natalie Mordovtseva from the 90 Day Fiancé franchise confessed she was still in love with Mike Youngquist, but her claims were difficult to believe. Natalie and Mike first appeared together in 90 Day Fiancé season 7. The duo were together for a few years before tying the knot. However, their relationship quickly spiraled out of control upon Natalie’s arrival in America. Their home in Sequim wasn’t what Natalie expected, and she struggled to get along with Mike’s mother, Trish Youngquist.
As a result, Natalie fell into a deep depression that resulted in weight gain and mood swings. Days before Christmas, Natalie left Mike in the middle of the night and never returned. Instead, Natalie appeared on 90 Day: The Single Life for two seasons. After Mike helped Natalie's mother escape the war in Ukraine, she returned to Sequim for the first time in almost two years. During the trip, she confessed she still loved Mike and wanted to return. However, her past actions make it difficult to believe.

The last time viewers saw the chaotic duo interact was on The Single Life season 2 Tell-All. Mike revealed he was going to file for divorce, and Natalie stormed off the set in hysterical tears. Their relationship was still strained as she admitted in her confessional that they hadn’t spoken in five months. As Trish later pointed out, if Natalie was truly in love with Mike, she would’ve returned sooner or at least had been in contact.
90 Day Fiancé's Natalie Mordovtseva Dated Several Other Men
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and many viewers can understand that couples may need or want their alone time. However, Natalie didn’t leave Mike to find herself or take a breather from a stressful situation. She left the relationship and joined the franchise spin-off to find love again. During that time, she dated a few guys and even grew seriously interested in Josh Weinstein.
Natalie Mordovtseva Is In a Confused and Emotional State
During this time in the season, Natalie was going through many hardships. Natalie struggled to get along with Josh, and couldn't determine where she fits in the busy entrepreneur’s life. She felt that he constantly blew her off and was intimidated by the women in his life. When the war began, she was worried about her mother. Mike happened to be the first one to reach out, so it’s understandable that her feelings might’ve been jumbled.
On the other hand, Natalie did seem genuine when she spoke to Mike and Trish. She owned up to her mistakes, apologized, and appeared truthful when answering to Trish’s interrogation. She even offered Trish plants as a peace offering, which does show growth. In the end, it appeared Mike wasn’t interested in pursuing Natalie anymore, but 90 Day Fiancé fans wish both stars well on their search for love.
