Jovi Dufren, who was featured on season 8 of 90 Day Fiancé on TLC, recently demonstrated to his followers that he still loves going out at night. Videos of the underwater robotics engineer's night out in Miami with fellow franchise stars Darcey Silva and her spouse Georgi Rusev were posted on Instagram. Notably, his wife Yara Zaya was not present.
The well-known reality show 90 Day Fiancé tracks foreign couples as they negotiate cultural barriers and the K-1 visa application procedure, which permits foreign fiancés ninety days to wed their American partners. In 2020, Jovi and Yara, who was born in Ukraine, became part of the franchise, and 90 Day Fiancé viewers followed their journey from courtship to parenthood.
Jovi's party-loving lifestyle, which was a major cause of tension both before and after their marriage, has often put their relationship to the strain. Fans are wondering how the pair is doing as a couple, even though they recently moved to Miami and now have a daughter named Mylah.
90 Day Fiancé's Yara Zaya missing during Jovi Dufren’s night out with Darcey and Georgi
Jovi's Instagram Stories showed the three of them having a good time at a Miami European restaurant. In the video, 90 Day Fiancé's Darcey, wearing a beautiful black attire, was shown dancing to the music while Georgi smoked a cigar. In order to give fans a peek into their ostensibly impromptu gathering, Jovi made care to include both reality stars in his photos.
Given that all three 90 Day Fiancé cast members currently reside in Miami, the setting makes sense for an unplanned reunion. long Jovi and Yara recently moved to Miami with their daughter, Darcey and Georgi have lived there for a long.
"Living the Miami life," Jovi captioned one of his Stories, suggesting he's embracing the city's vibrant nightlife scene.
Yara's absence from the occasion surprised many who had followed the couple's journey. Yara has repeatedly expressed her disapproval of Jovi's partying habits, particularly his fixation with strip clubs, during their time on the show.
"I'm hoping he grows up and changes," Yara famously stated during their season, a sentiment that has followed their relationship through multiple spin-offs.
According to people close to the pair, Yara may have been preoccupied with work obligations because she just got back from a business trip. The Ukrainian beauty regularly travels for commercial events and has created her own makeup line.
Another possibility is that the couple simply needed space. Jovi's career keeps him away from home for weeks at a time, and when he returns, their leisure preferences often clash – Yara typically preferring quiet family time while Jovi seeks excitement.
What’s next for Jovi Dufren and Yara Zaya?
Despite this separate outing, the couple appears to be on solid ground. In recent Q&A sessions with 90 Day Fiancé fans, Jovi addressed questions about expanding their family. When a follower commented, "We need another baby!!!" Jovi responded with a photo of himself and Yara in winter attire, cheekily advising fans to "Stay tuned" with laughing-crying emojis.
This playful response comes after previous revelations on 90 Day: The Last Resort, where Yara admitted to secretly taking birth control pills because she wasn't ready for a second child. She wanted Jovi to address his relationship with alcohol before considering another baby.
"I need him to be fully present as a father before we think about giving Mylah a sibling," Yara explained during the couples' therapy show.
The couple seemingly compromised by welcoming a Toy Poodle puppy named Mila into their home in November 2024.
Jovi and Yara have hinted at filming for a new show in the franchise but haven't shared specifics. Their relationship dynamic – balancing love, cultural differences, and opposing lifestyle preferences – has made them fan favorites.
Unlike many couples from 90 Day: The Last Resort, which featured intensive couples therapy, Jovi and Yara emerged with their relationship intact. Their ongoing negotiations about having a second child could feature prominently in their next television appearance.
When asked directly if Yara would ever want another child, Jovi admitted:
"I'm starting to feel the same way, but I haven't given up trying."
His response, though humorous, suggested an undercurrent of disappointment.
For now, 90 Day Fiancé fans will have to wait to see if Jovi's solo night out with franchise friends was simply a case of different social preferences or a sign of deeper issues. Based on their social media presence, the couple continues to present a united front, sharing family moments alongside their individual activities.
As Jovi adapts to life in Miami with help from established residents like Darcey and Georgi, viewers remain captivated by this couple who somehow makes their opposite personalities work – even when that means spending some evenings apart.
New episodes of 90 Day Fiancé air Sundays at 8 p.m. EDT on TLC.
