Natalie Mordovtseva from 90 Day Fiancé was a successful model back in Ukraine when she met Mike Youngquist, and her throwback modeling photos show her looking very different. Natalie, currently 38 years old, was going through a divorce from her second ex-husband when she and Mike, also 38, were introduced by their mutual friends. Mike was so impressed by Natalie’s modeling photos that he started a relationship with her, without knowing that it would end in a few years. When she came to America, Natalie dreamed of becoming a Hollywood star, and she's still trying to make that goal a reality.

Natalie's educational background included the study of psychology and journalism. In addition, before getting involved with Mike, she was an actress on several Ukrainian TV shows. Fans have unearthed clips of Natalie acting in these crime dramas (her performances are quite good), and there are pictures from her modeling assignments and portfolio as well. When Natalie split with Mike and relocated to Florida, she met her future boyfriend, Josh Weinstein. The CEO of an agency in LA (the company helps models) seemed to be a better fit for Natalie, who’s determined to build a showbiz career in America. During her latest 90 Day: The Single Life season 3 Tell-All appearance, Natalie revealed that she’s shifting her base to California, to find a new job, and be closer to Josh.

In April 2021, Natalie posted several photos from her past job on Twitter, which she later deleted. “Hi Guys! This from one of my modeling shoot,” she had added as text for her pictures with the hashtags, “#beautyqueen, #fashionstyle, and #art.” The photos were clicked in Kyiv, and Natalie donned various chic outfits as she posed, most likely for a fashion catalogue. Natalie’s curly hair was wavy in the pictures, and tied up in a stylish bun. Wispy bangs framed her face. Reality TV star Natalie did justice to all the outfits, whether they were printed or plain.

Natalie had gained weight from stress eating when she was married to Mike. As per her, she was 20-30 pounds heavier than before, but she did manage to lose the extra pounds before moving to Florida. Natalie had grown self-conscious when she was on the heavier side. She used to photoshop her pictures to look slimmer, and there was speculation that she was pregnant. Natalie did the Keto diet and exercised regularly. As well, she underwent laser liposuction in order to slim down. She now looks a lot like she did in her old throwback photographs. In one of them, 90 Day Fiancé cast member Natalie plays with her curls, and looks away from the camera while smiling. The navy blue lace dress really brings out the gray-blue hue of Natalie’s eyes.

Natalie still has a few old photos from her modeling days up on her Instagram, which she hasn’t deleted yet. Although she has disabled the comments to avoid any criticism (or outright hate) from fans, she’s received thousands of likes. In her earliest upload, Natalie’s dressed in a full-length satin gown as she poses next to a pillar. As usual, her crowning glory distracts from her outfit, but the teal color of her dress suits the 90 Day Fiancé star Natalie well. Nonetheless, Natalie’s piercing eyes are her best asset.
