[90 Day Fiance Spoiler Warning: This report includes spoilers revealing if Natalie and Mike are still together now or have broken up.]
Mike was a 35-year-old from Sequim, Washington, when he met Natalie was a 35-year-old from Kyiv, Ukraine, through a mutual friend, and they first initially on Season 7 of 90 Day Fiance.RELATED LINK: '90 DAY FIANCE' COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER? WHO HAS SPLIT? WHERE ARE THEY NOW? (PHOTOS)
Mike believed Natalie was his dream girl, and so he filed for a K-1 visa.
Mike and Natalie, however, had major differences to work through, such as Natalie being a religious vegetarian and Mike living as an atheist meat-eater who believes in aliens.
Natalie also begged Mike to have children right away, which was a stage of life he wasn't quite ready for.
The couple had their biggest fight in the Ukraine when Natalie gave her engagement ring back to Mike because she said she wasn't in love anymore -- and Mike said he felt "lost."
On 90 Day Fiance's Season 7 Tell-All special, Natalie accused Mike of cheating on her by spending the night with an alleged female friend. Mike, however, insisted the incident was totally innocent and he never lied about it.
In the Season 8 premiere of 90 Day Fiance, Natalie's K-1 visa was approved and Mike felt a little nervous and apprehensive about how fast things needed to move from that point on.
When Natalie stepped into Mike's home for the first time, she found it cold and lonely. Natalie also believed Mike had made no preparations for her arrival.
Natalie came to be a bit resentful over her "basic housewife" role while Mike went to work and spent hours commuting each day, and Mike desired patience and an open mind from Natalie.
When Natalie felt hurt and ignored, she lashed out at Mike and called him "stubborn," overweight and a "low-class drunk." As for Mike, he felt constantly disrespected.
Natalie therefore decided to be more flexible, pleasant and calm with Mike going forward, or else she figured Mike may not want to marry her.

Although Mike wished he had more time to get to know Natalie better and wasn't even convinced the pair was in love, the couple went ahead and set a wedding date for April 3.
But the fighting didn't stop and Mike said he was tired of Natalie bringing up the same things from the past.
"I don't cheat and I don't lie. You cheat and you lie, and you get caught," Natalie said. "This is a problem and I can't stand it. Michael, you had sex with her. You did."
Mike called Natalie "the most jealous person alive" and said her "beauty is ugly" when she thinks she's "the hottest sh-t in the world."
"It doesn't make you a great person on the inside," Mike argued, later adding, "I'm not ready to marry you -- at all. You're always living in the past when I want to try to move forward... I feel like I'm the only one who's ever trying."
Natalie said Mike returning her engagement ring would make her feel more secure in their relationship, but Mike said being engaged "would be a lie" at this point that everything was okay between them.
Natalie believed Mike was manipulating her and trying to punish her for her mistakes, and she briefly considered flying back to Ukraine.

But because of coronavirus, the pair had to delay their wedding a few weeks. Natalie admitted she was extremely stressed about the idea of marrying on time, before her K-1 visa expired.
Mike didn't seem interested in the wedding or making plans at the time, but he did ultimately decide to put Natalie's engagement ring back on her finger.

Mike admitted he wasn't ready to forgive Natalie yet but he wanted her to be his fiancee again and Natalie finally felt loved, like she had won Mike's heart back.
But Mike woke up on his wedding day and apparently had a big change of heart.
Natalie insisted her romance was definitely "over" when Mike canceled their wedding three days before her K-1 visa was about to expire.
"I think a man who does this to me doesn't love me, and I have to accept that that's life," Natalie said in tears.
Mike apparently bought Natalie a ticket to fly out of Seattle and return to France, and Natalie was stressed out about how to get home after landing -- whether by bus or train etc -- since COVID-19 was rapidly spreading and had shut down many businesses and public transportation.
When Natalie was ready to leave, Mike walked out of his house in tears, clearly distraught, and repeated to Natalie, "I'm so sorry."
"What is your sorry? You are sending my home during quarantine and I might get sick, thank you," Natalie snapped at Mike before she left.
"Find an American girl and be happy, okay? I'm sorry, I'm not going to talk to you. I will block you... I will not contact you. I cannot talk to you. So can you just go? All the best."
Natalie told the cameras that Mike was "weak" and his "actions [were] weak." Natalie said this breakup was his choice because she really wanted to get married that day.

Mike asked Natalie for the engagement ring back, but Natalie said she was going to keep the ring because it had been Mike's decision to break up with her and not the other way around.
"No... I deserve to have this ring. I suffered too much. No," Natalie responded, adding that she wanted to keep the ring to remember how much pain he had caused her.
Mike accused Natalie of wanting to sell the ring for cash, but she denied that was her intent.
Mike told the cameras he "got real nervous" before the ceremony and was "having really cold feet."
"I just feel like everything is so rushed and it's not a good day," Mike admitted.
"With everything that we've been trying to figure out and work on things and just deal with all the factors -- corona and everything else -- when I woke up this morning, I had a lot of sh-t going through my head. I just went and told her, 'I'm just not ready.' And she packed up her stuff so quickly and took off."
Natalie and Mike's neighbor Tamara planned to spend one night in a Seattle hotel before Natalie's scheduled flight the next day, but they couldn't check in for their reservation given Mike wasn't there to show ID for the credit card the girls were using.
Natalie therefore had to return to Mike after "a terrible day." She had no idea what was going to happen upon seeing Mike again.
Once Natalie returned to Mike's place, Mike requested that she stop recording, and so the couple turned off all the cameras.
The next day, with only two days left until Natalie's K-1 visa was going to expire, Natalie recalled how she and Mike had slept in separate bedrooms because she was feeling angry and insecure. Natalie felt like the whole world was against her, and she didn't know how to cope.
Mike hoped to sit down with Natalie to talk and work on things. Mike told Natalie that it was hard for him to call off the wedding and there was nothing behind his decision other than nerves.

Natalie, feeling rejected, asked Mike what was her fault, but he said "nothing" and then took "full responsibility." Mike apologized to Natalie for putting her in this situation and said he was glad she decided to come back because he never wanted her to leave to begin with.
Natalie said she still had feelings for Mike deep inside. Natalie felt disrespected, but Mike replied, "I love you very much and didn't mean to hurt you."
Natalie acknowledged life would go on and she was happy to be in Mike's house. With that being said, Natalie added, "I forgive you."
Natalie asked Mike if they should marry within two days, and although Mike believes marriage is "a big thing" and he wished they had more time, Mike told Natalie that he wanted her to stay and continue working on things together.
"Past the 90 days, I want you to stay and I don't want you to go anywhere... I don't want you to go home," Mike said.
Since Natalie's country was basically closed down due to COVID-19, Mike was hoping to be granted more time once Natalie's K-1 visa expired. But an immigration lawyer advised the couple to get married and file their paperwork within the 90-day requirement.
"I don't see any solution except getting married. That's it," Natalie said, before telling Mike, "If you don't want to marry me tomorrow, I have to leave tomorrow."
Natalie said if Mike wanted to be with her, he only had one choice to make -- but he wouldn't give her an answer and she was "so frustrated."
Mike was trying to process everything as Natalie felt "abandoned" by her fiance. Natalie said she didn't want to break the law but he didn't know what to do.

"We've got our issues, lots of things. Everything is rushed. It's not like it's a magical fairy tale," Mike complained.

But in the end, Mike chose to go through with the wedding in April 2020 even though he didn't feel ready for it.
"I wasn't sure if I was 100 percent ready to marry [Natalie]. I was just kind of having doubts, but at the end of the day, love is a strange thing," Mike told the cameras on 90 Day Fiance's Season 8 finale.
"Sometimes it [doesn't] make sense, and sometimes it does. The past few days have been difficult for me and Natalie, but we're out of time. Time is here. I'm looking at her in a beautiful dress and I'm nervous and I'm scared."
Mike and Natalie exchanged vows by the pond in Mike's backyard and both said, "I do."
Natalie said she felt grateful to Mike for choosing to give their relationship a real chance, and she felt blessed to have more time to work on their romance in the United States.
Part 1 of 90 Day Fiance's eighth-season Tell-All special airs Sunday, April 11 on TLC, with Part 2 airing the following week.

When asked if he believes Mike and Natalie's relationship is over for good, Beau replied, "I'm really hoping so. I pray to God, yes."

Natalie also recently revealed she plans to write a Tell-All book.
Back in Spring 2020, it seemed Mike and Natalie's relationship was going strong after their wedding.
In June 2020, Natalie reportedly posted a photo of herself cuddling up to Mike while viewing a beautiful night sky together.
"This is how we spend our time," she captioned the snapshot, according to In Touch.

On June 22, 2020, Natalie posted a photo with Mike and wrote, "Amazing #dinner with #lovely husband! thanks for #90dayfiance #love #faith #nataliemordovtseva #mikeyoungquist #couplegoals."
Two days later, Natalie captioned a funny photo of the pair driving, "#driving like crazy with my #husband #mikeyoungquist #nataliemordovtseva #natalie90dayfiance #90dayfiance."
And on June 25, Natalie wrote alongside a selfie of the couple by the water, "This is how we spend our time together #90dayfiance #natalie90dayfiance #nataliemordovtseva #mike90dayfiance #mikeyoungquist #love #couple #couplegoals."

Their more recent social-media activity also indicates Mike and Natalie are no longer together.
There was speculation Mike and Natalie were still a couple in February when they both posted individual photos in Los Angeles, CA.
Even though they didn't appear in each other's photos, many fans assumed they had taken a trip together and checked out the Griffith Observatory as well as the iconic Hollywood sign.
However, the trip to Los Angeles appears to have been sparked by the filming of 90 Day Fiance Season 8's Tell All reunion, not a reconciliation.
Natalie's Instagram mainly just shows modeling photos and selfies now.
