Yara Zaya and Jovi Dufren became a part of 90 Day Fiancé last year, and within a year, they have ignited several controversies. Jovi and Yara first featured on 90 Day Fiancé season 8 and featured a problematic relationship. The couple had similar interests like traveling and scuba diving, but it wasn't enough for their relationship to work. When Yara first arrived in the United States on her K-1 visa, she lamented almost everything. The Ukrainian beauty Yara complained about the place where Jovi lived and the drunk people in downtown New Orleans. Yara wished to live in a multi-million penthouse and be friends with the Kardashians. While Yara came across as a gold digger, Jovi didn't seem like a prize either.
During the show, it was revealed that Jovi failed to support Yara when she had a tragic miscarriage. He simply left her in a foreign country to go back to his job. The NOLA resident also showcased his obsession with strip clubs and strippers. He chose to celebrate his bachelor party after leaving Yara at home, who fell and injured herself the same day. Later in the season, it was revealed that Jovi also got a private lap dance from a stripper a day before his wedding. But Jovi's obsession with strip clubs hasn't ended yet.
Just after Yara gave birth to the couple's baby girl, Mylah, Jovi thought of taking his wife to a strip club. On 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 6, Yara reluctantly agreed to go to a strip club because Jovi had been calling her boring. But she lost her temper when her husband blew a kiss to a stripper. Yara slapped Jovi and stormed out of the strip club. Yara's controversial actions became a topic of discussion for many fans. While some thought Jovi deserved the slap, others called out Yara for making the fight physical. Nonetheless, this scene showcased the couple's unseen scandalous side.
Yara and Jovi also raised many eyebrows when they took the COVID-19 situation lightly. The blond beauty was spotted partying at the peak of the pandemic. She posted an Instagram story saying, "COVID? Never heard of that." That's why many 90 Day Fiancé viewers didn't sympathize with Yara when she actually contracted the virus. A fan said, "I have NO sympathy for her. She acts so spoiled and entitled. Should have worn a mask dummy!!" At the same time, many 90 Day Fiancé fans dragged Jovi when he revealed that he had no intention of getting vaccinated. When a fan asked, the underwater engineer said, "Depends if its[sic] required. As of now I have no intention to."
Again, Jovi and Yara are making headlines for their controversial makeup line. The couple has been accused of misleading their customers by claiming that their cosmetics are vegan when some of the products contain beeswax. Since the day Yara has launched her Boujee makeup line, she has been getting major backlash from fans for several reasons. Perhaps the next year will be different for Yara and Jovi. The 90 Day Fiancé couple may be a part of fewer controversies.
