Mike was a 35-year-old from Sequim, Washington, when he met Natalie, who was a 35-year-old from Kyiv, Ukraine, through a mutual friend, and they first starred 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 filed for a K-1 visa so he and Natalie could live together in America, but the pair discovered they had some major differences when getting to know each other better.
Natalie, for instance, is a religious vegetarian and Mike is an atheist meat-eater who believes in aliens. Natalie also wants children in the near future.
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 his alleged best female friend, Sarah. Mike, however, insisted the incident was totally innocent and he never lied about it.
The couple's romance continued on Season 8 of 90 Day Fiance, when Natalie arrived to America and had to adjust to Mike's "cold" home and her "basic housewife" role.
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 and once told Natalie her beauty was "ugly" if she doesn't act beautiful on the inside.
Mike ultimately gave Natalie her engagement ring back, but he had a change of heart on the couple's wedding day.
Mike called off his April 2020 wedding to Natalie, who therefore insisted their romance was "over" three days before her K-1 visa was set to expire.

Mike explained to Natalie that he just came down with a serious case of cold feet and still loved her and wanted her to stay in the United States, and so Natalie decided to forgive him.

On Part 1 of 90 Day Fiance's Tell-All event, Mike and Natalie arrived in separate cars and Mike confessed their relationship was stressful at times. The couple barely looked at or spoke to one another.
Natalie said she couldn't pretend that everything was fine, and Mike acknowledged he was "used to" the silent treatment so it wasn't a really big deal.
Natalie wasn't wearing her engagement ring to the Tell-All but she claimed she had left the ring at home so it wouldn't get stolen -- which more than half of the Season 8 cast didn't believe.
Mike admitted he felt "horrible" and like "a piece of sh-t" for initially canceling their wedding and he had no excuse.
"Natalie thought I went off and cheated the night before. And that was weighing on my head," Mike revealed.
Natalie explained Mike had suddenly disappeared the night before their wedding and didn't return home until after 4AM, but Mike insisted he just went for a drive into the woods to be by himself and think.
Mike's mother Trish then joined the conversation and accused Natalie of trying to change Mike's life and being too jealous. Trish called Mike's romance "sketchy" and "a mess."

Trish apparently had such serious reservations about Natalie and Mike getting married that she had asked Mike's neighbor Tamara to stand up at the wedding and reject to the couple's union.
Tamara claimed she couldn't go through with Trish's request after seeing Mike and Natalie's love for each other on their wedding day.
Despite his "mixed feelings" on the subject, Mike said he loved both his mother and his wife and he's never choose one over the other.
Mike and Natalie also weren't in a good place following Part 2 of the Tell-All, which featured Sarah telling Shaun that Natalie had called her an American "whore."
Mike, however, said he was still in love with Natalie and planned to continue working on things with her. Mike noted he was willing to do whatever it takes to be with Natalie.
On the sixth-season premiere of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, Mike and Natalie had been married for six months by the time cameras starting rolling for the new season.
Natalie surprised Mike in Seattle after work and the couple decided to pay for a hotel room so they could spend a romantic evening together.
But Natalie complained to Mike that he wasn't wearing his wedding ring and she was worried he wasn't taking their marriage seriously.
Natalie wore her wedding ring -- which apparently only cost her three dollars -- all the time and she gushed about being "so proud of it." Natalie wanted to buy Mike a wedding ring, but he said he couldn't wear it to work because it could catch on things and be dangerous for him.

"It's not about the ring; it's about love and marriage, you know?" Mike vented in a confessional.
"Sometimes I do get frustrated with Natalie. I made a major commitment that you could possibly do with anyone you love by getting married. Sometimes I often think it may not be enough for her."

Natalie picked a ring out for Mike and dropped down on one knee and jokingly proposed marriage to her husband. She said she loved, admired and respected him.
Natalie then suggested to Mike they should travel and do a honeymoon. Mike recommended spending some time with his mother so Natalie and his mom could bond and enjoy quality time, but Natalie was nervous and a little uncomfortable about the idea.
Mike acknowledged his mother is a strong, opinionated person but he wanted Natalie to communicate with her and feel free to ask questions and be open and honest. Mike wanted the two women in his life to build a friendship.
Natalie told the cameras that Mike is "a mommy's boy" who listens to whatever his mom has to say, and due to what happened in the past, Natalie acknowledged a reunion with Mike's mom was scary to her.
However, Natalie put on a brave face for Mike and acted like she was looking forward to the reunion. Natalie also hoped to meet some of Mike's friends since she hadn't yet.
Mike admitted to Natalie she could come across as "harsh" sometimes and couldn't just attack people. Mike said his friends are polite and family oriented.

"Maybe they shouldn't send naked pictures to you, then I will be polite," Natalie snapped.
Mike angrily left the dinner, which was supposed to be a birthday celebration.
Natalie claimed a girl from Nevada had sent Mike a picture of her breasts.
Mike left his birthday celebration at a Seattle hotel abruptly once Natalie brought up the past. Natalie thought it was "mean" Michael had left her alone in the hotel after she spoke her mind.

Mike joked that Natalie was like "a sour patch kid" in that she's sour and then sweet in the end. He was glad Natalie "recognized her faults" from the previous night and would attempt to stop picking fights.

According to online records, Mike and Natalie tied the knot in Clallam County, Washington on April 15, 2020, In Touch Weekly reported.Natalie confirmed her relationship status on May 24, 2020 when she posted on Instagram, "We Get Married!"

Not only is there no trace of Natalie on Mike's Instagram account and vice versa, but 51-year-old Beau told the magazine on March 23, 2021, "She has not been home for a couple of months now. [Natalie] can stay away for all I care."
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 appeared to confirm her split from Mike on April 27 by sharing a link on Instagram Stories asking her followers to vote her onto the cover of Maxim magazine, In Touch reported.
In the original biographical information she posted on her voting page, Natalie hinted at her breakup with Mike by listing herself as a cast member of 90 Day: The Single Life, the new 90 Day Fiance spinoff which features single or divorced former 90 Day Fiance stars searching for love and navigating post-relationship life.
However, it appears Natalie has since deleted 90 Day: The Single Life mention.

In addition to 90 Day Fiance's seventh and eighth seasons, Natalie also listed 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?.
"I wrote a book about life in [the] U.S.," Natalie also wrote in the bio -- an apparent reference to her previously announced plans to write a tell-all book.
Uncle Beau then drove home the fact Mike is currently single after his split from Natalie in early May.
"Mikey and I are having fun again now that I'm single too. That's right, well there's more fish in the sea," Uncle Beau, 51, told In Touch.
The guys apparently enjoyed a boys' night out in which they had a barbecue, drank beers and sat by a bonfire.
"Live life to the fullest. Everyday is a great day to live. #life#saturdayvibes #bondfire#goodfood#friendsandfamily#90daysfiance," Mike captioned two video clips on Saturday, one of which showed his new husky dog that Natalie has also posed with on her own Instagram account.
But 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."
But in August 2020, Natalie reportedly wiped her Instagram clean, and around that same time, Mike deleted an account and created a new one.
Natalie's Instagram mainly just shows modeling photos and selfies now.
Fans speculated in February 2021 Mike and Natalie may have reconciled because they were both in Los Angeles at the same time, but it appears they were just in California to film 90 Day Fiance Season 8's Tell-All special.
