Emily, a 29-year-old from Portland, OR, and Sasha, a 32-year-old from Moscow, Russia, are sharing their story of love and hardship on Season 7 of 90 Day Fiance, which premiered November 3.
90 Day Fiance features Americans who have fallen in love with foreigners bringing their fiances to the United States on K-1 visas.
However, once the couples are in America together, the Americans must marry their overseas partners within the 90-day period allowed by the visa or the foreigners have to return to their home countries.
Emily packed up and moved to Russia to teach English after finishing college.
At the time filming 90 Day Fiance's seventh season began, Emily had been living in Volgograd, Russia for three years.
Once Emily, a former party girl and rave goer, took a job in Russia after finishing school, she realized living in Volgograd was a mistake because she couldn't speak or read the language and the city looked like it was deteriorating.
Emily also had no friends in Volgograd and she said the weather was freezing.
"As a young American girl in Russia, I was so lonely. I joined [a] gym because I wanted to be social, and that is where I met my hot personal trainer, Sasha," Emily said in a video on TLC's website.
"Things got serious quickly because I'm super pregnant!"

Emily thought Sasha was really handsome. She loved his gorgeous eyes and biceps. Emily said Sasha seemed humble and had good vibes, however, and he expressed interest in her life as an American.
As they dated, Emily was able to tutor Sasha in English.
One day, the couple got takeout for dinner and Sasha proposed marriage to her in an elevator. Emily said it was such a huge surprise but she said "yes." Afterward, Emily applied for a K-1 visa so they could live in America together.
But Sasha had a lot of baggage. Specifically, Emily learned that Sasha was already twice divorced and has a son with each of his two ex-wives. But once Emily became pregnant, she and Sasha determined they should move to the United States.
"Sasha just made mistakes in the past and he happened to marry those mistakes, but we're different. Our relationship it perfect," Emily said in the TLC video.
Although there was a pattern of Sasha getting women pregnant and the relationships falling apart, Emily insisted, "I am going to be Sasha's third wife. This is his third child with another woman, but we're going to last."
Just after 90 Day Fiance released a promo video featuring Sasha's first wife, Emily teased in her Instagram Stories, "What have I gotten myself into?"

Emily's family worried Sasha would eventually leave her for Wife No. 4 and she'd be stuck raising a child alone, but Emily had confidence in Sasha and their relationship.
"We are different. Our relationship is perfect and we are going to last," Emily told the cameras.
Emily told Sasha that he was all she had and she needed him, so Sasha promised he would stay with her and take care of her. Sasha insisted he wasn't going to divorce again because he's "actually a good guy" and wanted to prove that to his fiancee.
Emily was convinced he'd be a great father to her child since he was already a great parent to his two children from previous relationships.
Emily's sister Betsy didn't want Emily to give birth to her baby in Russia, but Emily promised Sasha had been "so good" and everything was going to be okay. Emily didn't want to leave her man, but she hadn't exactly thought everything through.
Emily's sister wasn't exactly supportive, and then Emily suddenly felt very dizzy and called Sasha to come pick her up from a restaurant. Emily was emotional and feeling sick, but Sasha came to her rescue.
Emily and Sasha were then shown meeting up with Sasha's first ex-wife, Masha, at a restaurant when Emily was nine months pregnant.
Emily said Sasha married Masha at age 22 and they welcomed a son named Daniel together. Emily said their relationship was "doomed to fail," and Sasha claimed it was because Masha was "a difficult" and "crazy" person.
After the divorce, Emily claimed Sasha met his second wife "a few years" after he divorced his first wife and the pair also welcomed a son.

Sasha said everything was okay in the beginning, but when he became more muscular due to landing a job in fitness, the wife was no longer attracted to him. Sasha therefore divorced her and began looking for someone else.

Masha, however, had a different story about her breakup from Sasha, alleging to the cameras Sasha had left her for another woman.
"Sasha and I dated for a year. Then we were married for a year and got divorced because he met his second wife. She got pregnant, and he came to me and said, 'I want a divorce,'" Sasha claimed.
Masha wasn't happy about the idea of Sasha leaving the country when he had two other children to worry about and take care of. She called him a selfish man.
"Where the wind blows... a man flies," Masha vented to 90 Day Fiance's producers during the latest episode. "His family will not keep him. His children will not keep him.. Men only think about themselves."
After a long and apparently exhausting conversation, Masha gave her blessing for Daniel to visit America, as long as that's what Daniel would like to do.
Masha, however, didn't want Sasha to go to America, and she told him exactly how she felt once Emily left the table to get some air.

"I don't know if Sasha will leave Emily the way he left his first two wives. He left me for his second wife," Masha told the cameras.
"She was also good, kind, calm. But still, he left her for his third. I think America is the next step forward in his life. And Emily is just an excuse."
Did Emily and Sasha get married? Is the 90 Day Fiance couple still together now?
Emily graduated from Idaho State University with a Bachelor's degree in English Education in December of 2015 and then she packed up her bags and moved to Volgograd in January of 2016, according to Starcasm.Emily reportedly shared a video of her "coworkers" in Russia singing her "Happy Birthday" in February of that year.

"Missing you already," Emily captioned the picture. "See you soon in #Moscow babe #love."
In December 2016, Emily wrote that she couldn't wait to move to Moscow.
Emily reportedly moved to Moscow not long after that post because most of her photos from 2017 were taken in Moscow, and Sasha is present in many of them.

Emily and Sasha announced their engagement on Facebook on February 27, 2017.
The 90 Day Fiance couple, however, welcomed their son together in Russia in November 2018 and named him David Alexandrovich.
While it's unclear whether Emily and Sasha got married in Russia or planned to wed in the United States during Sasha's stay in America on his K-1 visa, Emily changed her name to Emily Larina -- which is Sasha's last name -- on Instagram on February 17, 2019.
"I haven't changed the name on my passport yet. But I wanted to take this username before anyone else. Also, I love my fam #family #happiness," Emily captioned a photo of Sasha, herself and their baby.
Moving on to May 2019, Emily, Sasha and their son David traveled to the United States, with Sasha probably traveling on his K-1 visa, meaning he had until late August to marry Emily or else he'd have to return to Russia, Starcasm reported.
It therefore appears Emily and Sasha did in fact get married, because they are both currently living in the United States!
Emily's Facebook indicates she's currently working in Portland, Oregon, and Sasha's Facebook and Twitter profiles both indicate he's now living in Portland as well.

Emily has not posted any photos of Sasha on her Instagram account, but she has shared many nostalgic photos of herself during her time in Russia.
Emily has made it clear she is definitely living in the United States with her son -- but she has made no public mention of Sasha's whereabouts (probably just for the sake of 90 Day Fiance spoilers).
On October 16, Emily posted a photo of herself with the baby and wrote, "I've been thinking about Moscow and the people I miss about it lately. 1. I miss how real people are there. Russia taught me to be real and direct about what I want. Although, I still fall into the habit of smiling and laughing randomly sometimes 2. There is this stereotype that Russians are unemotional/ cold. That couldn't be further from the truth. When a Russian person knows you and loves you, it's true and real."
She continued, "In America, we are so quick to call classmates, coworkers, etc. 'friends.' In Russia, the title of friend is earned. You can count on them for the rest of your life. From picking you up from the airport, to listening to you as you cry, they'll be there for you. 3. The architecture and history is great there. I'm glad my son will be able to spend summers there and learn the language. It will always be forever a part of him."
Emily hinted she's still together with Sasha when she defended him on Instagram in mid-November in light of Masha's claims in the second episode of 90 Day Fiance's seventh season that aired on TLC.
Emily took to her Instagram Stories recently and denied that Sasha got his second wife pregnant while still married to his first wife, according to screenshots captured by 90 Day Fiance Instagrammer John Yates.
Emily claims Sasha's ex-wife Masha lied about him getting his second wife pregnant while he was still married to his first wife.
Emily posted alleged photos of Sasha and Masha's Russian divorce certificate as well as what appeared to be the Russian birth certificate of Sasha's second child.
"Sasha and Masha's divorce certificate from 2012," Emily wrote on one document, which appeared to be written in Russian.
And on another document, Emily claimed, "Sasha's second son wasn't born until 2014."
Considering there was allegedly a two-year gap from when Sasha and Masha divorced and when his second wife welcomed her baby, the documents -- if valid -- appear to demonstrate Sasha was no longer married to Masha when he got his second wife pregnant.
