Brandon Gibbs and Julia Trubkina have faced plenty of drama during the current season of 90 Day Fiancé and rumors about the couple have now led to conflicting reports. Though fans have speculated that the couple is still together, recent online chatter suggests that Russian Julia has packed her bags and returned to her home country.
Brandon’s parents Betty and Ron have turned Julia’s American dream into a nightmare since she joined her fiancé in Dinwiddie, Virginia. Living under the same roof as her future in-laws meant abiding by their rules, which are strict and include plenty of farm work. Recent episodes of 90 Day Fiancé depicted Julia reaching her breaking point when it came to Betty and Ron’s oppressive treatment. After she gave Brandon an ultimatum, the farm boy, 28, finally stood up to his parents and informed them that he was considering moving out with Julia. Betty and Ron then relaxed their strict rules and allowed the couple to sleep in the same bedroom, despite an initial ban that left Brandon and Julia sleeping in separate bedrooms. Viewers have been speculating that the couple is still together, due to a photo that suggested Brandon and Julia appear to be in Virginia and are potentially married. However, recent rumors indicate that the couple may have split.
Brandon Gibbs took to his personal Instagram on February 7 to share a sweet snap of him and Julia. "The 90 days were on hold this week.😭 Though hopefully everyone had a great weekend and is ready for a new week," he commented, including their #brandonandjulia hashtag. Though the post appeared sweet, the 90 Day Fiancé gossip account 90dayfiancefanatics2 reposted the photo, and the comments quickly became juicy. A pinned comment on the post reads, "She's already back in Russia. Leaked article says it. She hated the farm that much." The commenter claims to have sources, though other viewers are torn on whether the rumor is true or false. Some people remarked that they are happy to hear that Julia potentially left, as they felt she was being used for farm work and was unhappy with life at Hummingbird Acres Farm. "I would have too," someone wrote in response to the rumor of Julia leaving, adding, "The mom & dad need to let the boy grow up." Another fan wrote, "We knew that was coming," while someone else added, "I hope she ran!!!" You can view Brandon's post below:
Others don't believe the rumors and are convinced that the couple is still together. "She posted on Instagram today and a couple days ago," one person commented, adding, "I do not believe she is back in Russia they are a cute couple." Others expressed mixed sentiments. "It'll be a shame if they really didn't work out as I was rooting for them but how his parents expected her to take on the farm was ridiculous," another fan wrote. There is other evidence to suggest that Brandon and Julia are still together. Julia recently shared a video of herself in an unknown kitchen, which led fans to believe that she and Brandon had an apartment of their own. Given the new rumors, it's possible that Julia has her own place, or is living with friends or family.
Since the couple is under contract with TLC, neither Brandon nor Julia is allowed to comment on their relationship status. They have not given any indication on social media that they have split, as they share sweet photos (taken together in the past) on their separate accounts. However, many fans have urged Julia to leave Brandon for someone more assertive, since he has trouble standing up to his parents sometimes. A lot of tension has surfaced on the TLC show as Betty and Ron became the season 8 villains. Whether or not Brandon and Julia stay together remains to be seen. Fans will have to tune into new episodes of 90 Day Fiancé to see how their story plays out.
