Mike Berk and Ximena Morales from 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days are a duo that fans think will stay together, even with the obvious red flags in the relationship. While Ximena did not think that Mike was a looker and compared him to her long list of exes that include hitmen and drug dealers, 90 Day Fiancé fans took a liking to the New Yorker’s ways. On the other hand, Ximena came across as someone who couldn't be trusted, thanks to the many secrets she’s hidden from Mike, including giving him false hope that they would have kids together. Still, there are clues that suggest Mike and Ximena are actually perfect for each other, and some TLC viewers even see them as a genuine couple who are capable of having a happily ever after.
Mike’s 90 Day Fiancé introduction, which showed him playing with Legos, looking after his grandpa, and learning how to make pancakes endeared him to viewers. The fans felt even more protective of him when he revealed that he’d always been single. Some said Mike deserved better because Ximena was trying to spend his money and looking to secure the American Dream for her children. The biggest suspicion about Ximena stems from her notorious past and the fact that she doesn't think Mike is her type. Fans wonder what caused her to change, if not his bank balance. Ximena did not tell Mike that her tubes were tied in a whole year of them talking online, and it's very possible that Mike doesn’t know that Ximena still has feelings for her ex-boyfriend and baby daddy from prison, whom she talks to every day.
Still, Mike has actively defended Ximena on Instagram. He’s tried to tell fans that 90 Day Fiancé isn’t real. He’s been spotted leaving romantic comments on Ximena’s IG, and there are rumors that Mike and Ximena are engaged. In 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days episode 5, Ximena confessed that sex with Mike was “nothing out of the world.” However, she added that he “lack practice” in the bedroom, but said she “felt the love” between them. Mike was understanding when Ximena shared that she won’t be able to bear his children. If 90 Day Fiancé viewers were scared about Mike throwing a fit due to the show’s past cast members’ reactions in such situations, they didn't have to be. He was reasonable and understood Ximena’s plight, even with a translator device. He earnestly wants to be a good husband to Ximena, and a father to her kids.
Is Mike Ximena's "Best Boyfriend"?
Although Ximena’s father doesn’t approve of Mike yet, her kids want him as a stepfather as he’s the “best boyfriend” Ximena has ever had. Fans think Ximena is lucky to have found a partner like Mike, who’s giving his all to keep her and the boys happy. Plus, all the mistakes in her past may have made Ximena realize that she needs a supportive better half like Mike. With him, she has a better chance of having a healthy relationship, despite it looking transactional on the surface. Likewise, Ximena may be having to rely on Mike for financial help, but her job as a nail technician could help her to find work when she gets to the States. Mike seems to be smart enough to know that and sees Ximena as a good fit in his all-male household.
Are These Reality Stars Equals?
If Mike has a heart of gold, he sees Ximena as an equal match. He does not seem to be putting her on a pedestal by wooing her with gifts and money. All the help he’s given her so far has made it easier for her to give her kids a comfortable life and a roof over their heads. However, things may not go smoothly for Mike and Ximena in upcoming episodes of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. Teasers have revealed that Mike’s farts disgust Ximena, and he was shown running aimlessly on the streets after Ximena rejected him. However, this doesn't mean that Mike and Ximena have ended their relationship, as the trailers may have simply tried to blindside fans. Will the Tell-All actually show them having a fairytale ending?
