Natalie Mordovtseva is back—and she’s making a bold statement. After weeks of speculation about her immigration status and rumors that she had been deported following her messy breakup with Josh Weinstein, the 90 Day Fiancé star has reappeared in the U.S.
Natalie, 38, shared a new Instagram photo from Los Angeles, California. She showed off a beachy vibe in a skin-tight slip dress and a glowing tan. The caption? One word: “Survivor.”
Fans instantly went into detective mode. Was she referring to surviving two failed relationships? Her struggle to stay in the U.S.? Or maybe the emotional toll of being ghosted by Josh, who’s now flaunting his new romance with another 90 Day Fiancé cast member? Whatever she meant, one thing was clear—Natalie wanted to send a message.
She’s not gone. And she’s definitely not giving up.
90 Day Fiancé: What Really Happened to Natalie Mordovtseva After Her Split From Josh?
Natalie’s journey from Kyiv to California has been filled with chaos, heartbreak, and uncertainty. After her marriage to Mike Youngquist ended in Season 8, Natalie didn’t want to divorce him. She worried that she’d be deported without a legal reason to stay in the U.S. After years of drama, she filed for separation. Then, she tried to start fresh in Florida, where she met Josh.
Their on-again, off-again relationship spanned nearly three years. But even after joining 90 Day: The Last Resort in hopes of repairing their bond, things didn’t improve. Josh never fully committed, and Natalie accused him of cheating. He eventually broke up with her before the recommitment ceremony.
Josh has since confirmed the split—and moved on with someone else in the 90 Day universe. That sting hasn’t faded for Natalie. Her social media still reflects her emotional turmoil. And despite appearing stronger on the outside, she’s clearly still healing.
90 Day Fiancé: Is Natalie Staying in the U.S. for Good?
Rumors began swirling when Natalie vanished from the spotlight and was spotted in the Dominican Republic. Many assumed she had been deported—especially after years of uncertainty tied to her K-1 visa and lack of legal marriage status.
But her recent DMV sighting in Orange County and her Los Angeles-tagged Instagram post suggest otherwise. Natalie is, for now, still in America. It seems her trip to the Caribbean was just a much-needed vacation—or possibly a filming location.
Still, Natalie’s cryptic post left followers with more questions than answers. She didn’t explain the meaning behind “Survivor,” but fans believe it may speak to both her immigration battle and emotional journey. “She’s been through a lot. I hope she finally finds peace,” one fan commented.
90 Day Fiancé: Where Is Natalie’s Mother Neliia Now?
One person who hasn’t been seen or mentioned lately? Natalie’s beloved mother, Neliia.
Once a frequent presence in Natalie’s content, Neliia has completely vanished from her daughter’s social media. The last photo of the two together was posted in April 2023—and has since been deleted. That same post featured Josh, making it even more suspicious.
Fans know that Neliia was once in grave danger during the war in Ukraine. After losing her home, she escaped with help from Mike Youngquist. He paid for her evacuation and flight to the U.S. Natalie thanked Mike for saving her mom, even though their relationship was strained.
Now, there are no updates. Natalie hasn’t said whether they still live together—or if they’ve grown apart. Some think Natalie is keeping her personal life private. She is regrouping and rebuilding after another public heartbreak.
