[90 Day Fiance Spoiler Warning: This report includes spoilers revealing if Brandon and Julia got married or have broken up, and if the 90 Day Fiance couple is still together now.]

Brandon, a 27-year-old pest-control technician who helps to run his parents' farm in Dinwiddie, VA, entered his first serious relationship with Julia, a 26-year-old go-go club dancer from Krasnodar City, Russia.

Brandon felt love at first sight with Julia, and so he flew to Russia after just a few weeks of getting to know her on the phone and through videochat.

The couple intended to apply for a Tourist Visa so Julia could visit him in the United States, but once the consulate learned Brandon was her boyfriend, she was told to apply for a K-1 visa instead.

The couple then dated for five months long-distance and Brandon invited Julia to join him in Iceland, where he proposed marriage to her and the pair got engaged.

After their two families met in France, Brandon was really hurting for cash. He said he had spent almost $10,000 in seven months to pursue Julia.

Brandon and Julia ultimately had a "perfect" reunion at the airport, but Julia was upset to learn she'd have to sleep in a separate bedroom from Brandon at his parents' house. Betty was also pushing for Julia to take contraception when Julia didn't want to.

"I can't control my mother. I can't control how they will interact. They both have really strong personalities, and I just feel like they're going to clash," Brandon lamented in a confessional.

Once at the farm in Virginia, it didn't take Julia long to realize she hated the chores -- such as feeding the pigs -- and waking up early every morning.

"I don't want this. This is not the life [of] my dreams. Brandon say we need to stay here before we marry, but I say to him, 'No, Brandon, this is not going to work.' I need to leave," Julia vented in a confessional.

Julia admitted she was ready to go back to Russia after only one day of working at his parents' farm.

"I wish she would see this as an opportunity and just give life on the farm a chance," Brandon told the cameras.

But Brandon and Julia still set a wedding date for May 9, even though Brandon felt torn between Julia and his disappointed parents, who believed Brandon had neglected his responsibilities at the farm.

"It's not all working like we wanted," Brandon said, asking Julia to try harder around the farm.

Julia said she was losing her mind and Brandon wasn't taking care of her because he wasn't fixing the situation or standing up to his parents.

"I hate this place," Julia complained to Brandon. "I don't want to stay here. I want to leave now."

Julia said if they didn't move, she would return to Russia. She complained that Brandon wasn't fixing the problem and that showed he didn't truly, deeply love her. In fact, Julia vented that she hated Brandon out of frustration.

Brandon told the cameras that Julia had no idea how lucky they were to be living in a place for free while he was saving money for their future together. Brandon felt like his effort was in vain due to Julia's reaction.

Brandon insisted to Julia that he was trying and their situation was just temporary.

Brandon said he loved Julia and it hurt him to hear she'd be willing to leave him, but Julia said she had sacrificed her life for Brandon and so he needed to do the same and compromise.

"It's hard to hear, but I'm going to fix this for us... I'm going to be the man that you want me to be," Brandon said.

Brandon was ready to choose Julia over everything, so he told his parents that Julia was unhappy and giving him an ultimatum to move somewhere else or break up.

Ron begged Brandon not to "make a stupid decision," and Betty seemed shocked and devastated.

Betty hoped to be a family and eventually pass on the farm to Brandon, and she said she had been hoping to gain a daughter and not lose her only son.

"That's a beautiful world you paint... but I don't think that was the world we were hoping for," Brandon explained. "Either I'm staying here alone or we're leaving together," Brandon said.

Betty said the fact Julia was making him choose between her and his parents was "so sad." Betty therefore gave into the idea of Brandon and Julia sleeping in the same room.

With a little over 60 days left to wed, Brandon and Julia had a pregnancy scare.

Brandon admitted Julia being pregnant would be "a nightmare" because they didn't have enough money to have a big wedding or move out.

"You guys are getting off on the wrong foot to having a wonderful life," Ron said, before Betty noted she had many sleepless nights over her son's relationship.

But Julia found out she was not pregnant, which she and Brandon both found as a relief.

Since Julia didn't want to take birth control, Brandon decided it was time to start using condoms, even though he admitted he didn't like them.

In March 2020, Julia went shopping for a wedding dress, and Betty and Brandon were both able to tag along.

Brandon didn't seem excited or enthusiastic when providing his opinion on the dresses, and Julia and Betty begged Brandon to talk and show more emotion.

In April 2020, Julia still had one month to go on her K-1 visa but coronavirus was rapidly spreading and posed a problem.

Julia said Brandon had upset her because every time she asked him a question about their wedding, he allegedly didn't want to talk about it or would brush it off.

Brandon believed Julia was upset because he "didn't share the female fantasy of a wedding day," and he felt bad about making her cry in the church where they'd be getting married.

"It's very hard to deal with that I'm always doing something wrong, and I think she wants me to be something I'm not. So with everything going on, we are taking it one day at a time," Brandon explained in a confessional.

Brandon's parents Ron and Betty noted that Brandon didn't seem to be happy and that kind of behavior worried them given his wedding was fast approaching.

Brandon said it seemed like he and Julia were rushing into marriage -- because they had to due to the K-1 visa -- but they wouldn't be able to sustain a relationship from two different countries.

"I'm not ready to give up on this relationship... I love her," Brandon told his parents.

Brandon noted that when he and Julia weren't fighting, they had so much fun together and that's what he loved about her. Brandon didn't feel he had a choice but to marry Julia right away or else he'd lose her.

Ron and Betty later called Brandon and Julia down to the kitchen for a chat. Betty suggested moving up their wedding date in case someone caught coronavirus and the entire household was forced to quarantine for two weeks.

Ron asked the couple if they wanted to take chances, and Brandon replied, "No."

Julia also agreed she wanted to marry sooner rather than later to not risk her K-1 visa expiring.

Betty suggested the pair should have a nice, quick ceremony and she could help Julia find a dress and shoes.

"This is not the day I want, but we don't have a choice?" Julia said.

Brandon admitted this was "crazy" because they were supposed to have a full month left to marry -- and now they were only talking about a few days. Julia was concerned about getting her green card and being able to stay in the United States.

Brandon suggested the couple could quickly marry in a simple ceremony and have a big, beautiful wedding later, but Julia was serious about the wedding and wanted her groom to be as well.

Julia said they wouldn't have the funds for a big wedding down the road because they'd have to apply for her green card and find a new place for them to live as a couple.

Julia wanted her wedding day to be special and accused Brandon of not caring about any of the wedding plans, but he insisted, "I care about you," which didn't comfort or console the crying bride-to-be.


So did Brandon and Julia split up or is the 90 Day Fiance couple still together now?

Brandon and Julia definitely appear to still be a very happy couple, with photo evidence on social media as recently as late March.

In mid-March, Brandon shared a picture of Julia and himself in the hot tub at his parents' house. While it could have been a throwback photo, Brandon made it clear Julia is still in the United States with him and they're still together.

"I guess you won't see us tonight because we'll be too busy clouding up the tub," Brandon wrote with a smiley face at the end.

On March 8, Brandon uploaded an image of Julia and himself with their arms around each other and wrote alongside it, "Happy International Women's Day," along with multiple flower emojis.

Earlier in the month, Brandon posted a photo standing next to someone in a grey sweatshirt and captioned it, "Hey Julia... The bus is coming."

And Julia posted two photos of herself in a wedding gown around the same time to defend Brandon in light of the fact he had been unenthusiastic and seemingly bored while wedding dress shopping with his fiancee.

"Bad omens of a wedding. I do not believe in these signs. do you know how many of them? lots of. the whole world must be divorced, since all superstitions cannot be observed. Brandon didn't want to go to the store, but I insisted," Julia wrote.

Brandon also posted two selfies with Julia, one of which featured Julia kissing him on the cheek, in late February.

Brandon captioned one picture of Julia and himself posing in a hotel room, "I'm just waiting on Sunday. #90dayfiance #brandonandjulia #beautiful."

On February 12, Brandon also posted a video on Instagram of Julia kissing him on one cheek while his dog licked his other cheek.

"Love who loves you back. Happy Valentine's day guys. #90dayfiance #Brandonandjulia," Brandon captioned the video.

Around the same time, Julia posted a picture of Brandon hugging her on the beach.

"I want to congratulate everyone on the upcoming Valentine's day and wish to find a person next to whom you will not need anyone else. #90dayfiance #Brandonandjulia," Julia wrote alongside the image.

Julia also took to Instagram in mid-January 2021 and dropped other hints she and Brandon remain a couple.

On January 20, Julia posted a hilarious photo with Brandon in which she stuffed her shirt and asked fans to come up with a funny name for the picture. And about a week earlier, Julia also posted a sweet selfie of the couple.

"Just cute photo #90dayfiance#Brandonandjulia," Julia wrote alongside the January 12 picture with a blowing-kiss emoticon.

Several days earlier, Julia uploaded a photo of Brandon giving her a piggyback ride.

"It seems to me that this week we will not be in the episode. a little positive to you all #90dayfiance #90dayfiance8 #Brandonandjulia," Julia captioned the photo, adding three kissing emoticons.

And a photo surfaced on Reddit of Brandon and Julia spending New Year's Eve together in someone's apartment with two male friends.

While the picture indicates the group had welcomed 2021 together, many Reddit users commented on how Julia appeared to be photoshopped into the picture and whether the photo was authentic.

Julia also conducted a Q&A with her followers on Instagram Stories earlier this year and dropped additional hints that suggest she is still with Brandon and living in the United States.

"Everything is pretty nice," Julia said of her current life. "It's pretty in my life. I've never had, like, an easy life," Julia said. "I all the time chose a hard life."

Julia said her English "is much better than before," probably because she's around English-speaking people all the time.

"I try to learn everything but it's so hard for me," Julia added.

When an Instagram user called Julia and Brandon "the cutest couple," Julia replied, "Thank you so much."

Julia also revealed she currently has a great relationship with Brandon's parents, although there is tension between them on the currently-airing season of 90 Day Fiance.

A fan asked how Julia essentially puts up with her "parents-in-law," and Julia responded, "I love my parents a lot because my parents want what is best for me. If I could choose other parents I would never choose other parents because my parents are the best and I love them a lot."

In addition, Julia said she hopes she can "start working" soon and put her degree in design to good use in either apartments or homes.

As far as her favorite experience in the United States goes, Julia revealed, "I like people in America because everyone smiles and everyone tries to help. You never ask for help but people try. This is so cool."

When asked whether she likes Russia or America better, Julia said there are some things she likes better in Russia and other things she likes better in the United States.

She noted the countries are just "different." For example, Julia said she cannot drive yet in America while she has her license back in Russia.

Julia shared excitement, however, when someone mentioned all the states she can travel to in the United States. Julia said she'd love to visit New York especially.

Julia told her followers it was "hard to leave [her] house and family" in Russia, but she added, "My parents understand this."

But Julia played coy when asked direct questions about whether she married Brandon and is still in the United States and living with Brandon's parents.

Julia admitted she doesn't want to "get in trouble" by breaking her NDA contract with TLC.

When one fan wrote that it seems like she married Brandon, Julia replied, "I don't know!"

And she explained to fans, "I can't say where I stay right now or what I do right now."

But Julia did admit her favorite thing about Brandon is that "he is so cute." Julia beamed when talking about Brandon, so it appears unlikely that they've broken up.
