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.RELATED LINK: '90 DAY FIANCE' COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER? WHO HAS SPLIT? WHERE ARE THEY NOW? (PHOTOS)
The pair first starred on Season 7 of 90 Day Fiance, which featured Mike and Natalie getting to know each other better during one of Mike's trips to Ukraine while they were waiting for her K-1 visa to be approved.
The couple discovered they have some major differences. Natalie pushed to have children right away and is a religious vegetarian, while Mike was hoping to save money for a while and is an atheist meat-eater who believes in aliens.
The couple's biggest fight occurred when Natalie gave her engagement ring back to Mike because she said she wasn't in love with him anymore -- leaving Mike feeling totally confused and "lost."
On 90 Day Fiance's Season 7 Tell-All special, Natalie also accused Mike of cheating on her by with his best female friend, Sarah. Mike, however, insisted the incident was totally innocent and he never lied about it. Sarah later backed Mike up on that.
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 less-than-thrilling "basic housewife" role.
Natalie's American dream wasn't playing out like she had hoped, and she sometimes felt hurt and ignored by Mike, which caused her to lash out at him.
Natalie once called Mike overweight and a "low-class drunk," and Mike in turn felt constantly disrespected. He even told Natalie at one point that her beauty was "ugly" if she fails to act beautiful on the inside.
However, love was at the root of the couple's relationship, and so Mike eventually decided to give Natalie her engagement ring back and help her plan their wedding.

But Mike had a sudden and unexpected change of heart on their April 2020 wedding day, and he called the whole thing off. Natalie therefore insisted her relationship was "over" three days before her K-1 visa was set to expire.

In the end, Mike chose to go through with the wedding so he wouldn't have to lose Natalie forever.
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 and he was "used to the silent treatment." The couple barely looked at or spoke to one another.
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 reservation 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.
Mike and Natalie also weren't in a good place following Part 2 of the Tell-All, which featured Sarah telling Shaun she had never hooked up with Mike and Natalie had called her an American "whore."
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, and Mike apparently wasn't wearing his wedding ring, which made Natalie question if he was taking their union seriously.
"It's not about the ring; it's about love and marriage, you know?" Mike vented in a confessional, saying he couldn't wear his ring to work because of the hard labor.
"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."
Mike ultimately agreed to go ring shopping, and Natalie said she loved, admired and respected her husband for caring about her feelings. She couldn't wait to travel with Mike and do a real honeymoon after the coronavirus pandemic.
Natalie also hoped to meet some of Mike's friends, but he worried she's be "harsh" and impolite. Mike said Natalie can't just attack people, which prompted Natalie to argue during Mike's birthday celebration, "Maybe they shouldn't send naked pictures to you, then I will be polite."

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.
Once the pair reunited in Sequim, Mike refused to apologize because he said Natalie kept bringing up "old stupid sh-t," and so Natalie apologized for bringing up a sore subject on his birthday.
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.

Trish pushed Natalie's buttons in Oklahoma right away by bringing up her desire to have grandkids quickly and suggesting Natalie should get a job as a language interpreter.
And Natalie rubbed Trish the wrong way by saying she wanted to pursue a career in acting, modeling and writing and felt unfulfilled in Sequim.
"She said she only has one life to live and so she wants to do the thing that she wants to do," Trish recalled of Natalie. "Why would you not try to take care of your husband and your home? She doesn't seem to do much for anybody but herself."

Mike admitted to his mom that he needed "more" from his wife because he chipped in with household chores and obligations after getting home from work. Trish agreed Natalie could be "more responsible" at home and was being "spoiled" by Mike.
Natalie insisted she never married Mike for money and expected to have work opportunities in Seattle, but Trish was concerned about Natalie's priorities.
"It's my life, my choice and my brain. So I think I will decide myself, honestly," Natalie lamented in a confessional, adding how she planned to stand up for herself.
"And Mike needs to stand up for me too," she added.
Mike and Trish later took Natalie to a butcher shop to buy meat for their Thanksgiving dinner, where Natalie felt extremely uncomfortable around the bloody meat. Natalie therefore left the store and wished her husband and mother-in-law would show her more respect.
Mike, on the other hand, didn't feel he had done anything wrong. Mike was still holding out hope Natalie and Trish could bond as a family over the holiday, especially because he believed Trish was "just being concerned" as his mother.
So are Natalie and Mike still married and together now or has the 90 Day Fiance couple broken up and divorced?
According to online records, Mike and Natalie tied the knot in Clallam County, Washington on April 15, 2020, In Touch Weekly reported.ADVERTISEMENT

Mike's Uncle Beau Lawrence, 51, told In Touch in late March 2021 that Mike and Natalie recently separated.
Not only is there no trace of Natalie on Mike's Instagram account and vice versa, but Beau told the magazine, "[Natalie] has not been home for a couple of months now. She 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, 2021 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.
Given the first season of 90 Day: The Single Life is already currently airing on Discovery's new discovery+ streaming service, it appears Natalie may have signed on to an as-of-yet unannounced second season of the new spinoff.
Natalie describes herself as "an actress and reality TV star" in her bio blurb and also lists the other shows she has appeared on.

In addition to 90 Day Fiance's seventh and eighth seasons, Natalie also listed 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?.

Uncle Beau then drove home the fact Mike is currently single after his split from Natalie in early May 2021.
"Mikey and I are having fun again now that I'm single too. That's right, well there's more fish in the sea," Beau 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 by the water and she wrote, "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.
Viewers 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's Season 8 Tell-All special.
