[90 Day Fiance Spoilers Warning: This article features spoilers revealing if Tania and Syngin have broken up and are divorcing -- or if the 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? couple is still together].
Tania and Syngin initially starred on Season 7 of 90 Day Fiance after meeting in a bar in South Africa, where Syngin worked as the bartender.RELATED LINK: '90 DAY FIANCE' COUPLES NOW: WHERE ARE THEY NOW? WHO IS STILL TOGETHER? WHO HAS SPLIT? (PHOTOS)
Tania and Syngin intended to have a one-night stand and not talk again, but they continued to spend time together in South Africa and Tania said it took her only four days to fall in love.
Tania therefore extended her spontaneous trip to South Africa, and once she returned to the United States, she applied for Syngin's K-1 visa so he could move to America and live with her permanently.
But it wasn't exactly a fairy tale once Tania and Syngin reunited in the United States.
Tania, for example, said she wanted to have a baby within three years and continue "pumping them out" afterwards, but Syngin said he'd like to travel and have fun first. Syngin apparently had no issue waiting 7-10 years to become a dad.
Syngin also didn't like how Tania was always in control of him and their relationship. He missed his freedom and being able to do whatever he wanted.
"It's almost like you wrote the story and I'm just a character in it," complained Syngin, a self-declared free spirit.
The couple also fought while Tania studied natural medicine and remedies in Costa Rica for three weeks. Tania didn't feel the need to call and check-in with Syngin after nights of partying with her friends and said she needed "breathing room."
But Syngin felt "abandoned" and thought Tania owed it to him to at least let him know she was safe and sound.
Once Tania returned home, she expressed frustration over Syngin not working towards his goals and dreams, such as becoming a woodworker or firefighter.

And Syngin nearly ended the relationship when Tania confessed she didn't view Syngin as her soul mate. The revelation stressed Syngin out and made him question whether he and Tania were truly compatible.
But Tania apologized and convinced Syngin that he was The One for her, and so the couple got married in Connecticut by renting an Air BnB for the venue.
The couple symbolically connected their love through matching tattoos instead of rings, and they both got the Sagittarius symbol tattooed on their left hand's ring finger to represent travel and the power of their relationship.
On Season 5 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, Tania and Syngin moved out of Tania's mother's she-shed and into a house of their own after Tania hurt her foot in a car accident.
Since Tania was unable to bartend due to her injury, Syngin's work permit was expedited so he could work and provide for them. Syngin, however, wasn't able to secure a job at a local Irish pub.
To make matters worse, Tania felt like she was married to "two different people."
Tania told her friend that half of Syngin was an adult with passions and goals and the other half was a party animal without a care in the world.
Tania's patience was wearing thin and she believed her marriage had become stagnant, while Syngin confessed he was feeling "pressure" and "a little suffocated" over the couple's finances and Tania's expectations of him.

Tania said she wanted to make a one to three-year plan with Syngin and start a new chapter, but Syngin admitted he wasn't totally ready to be committed.
"I'm scared of having children and being tied down to certain things and not being able to express my true self," Syngin said, adding that he didn't want to feel "stuck."
Syngin called the situation "complicated" and admitted he and Tania didn't want the same things. He sometimes wondered why they should even continue on with their relationship.
Syngin said he was rushed into marriage because of the K-1 visa and feeling homesick. He hoped there could be some compromise or else Syngin admitted "that'll be the end of us."
Syngin and Tania then traveled to South Africa to visit with his brother Dylan, who was recovering from a life-threatening blood clot.
Before heading to the airport, Tania told Syngin that she didn't want to see him party hard with his friends and get drunk in South Africa, but Syngin told her not to worry about him or fight with him in front of his friends.
The couple bickered before their trip, and Syngin admitted they can say "mean" things to each other sometimes which makes a situation "really toxic."
Syngin and Tania then reunited with Syngin's loved ones, and Syngin gushed in a confessional, "It feels like I'm coming home; it feels like I never left."
Tania was apparently annoyed and a little worried Syngin was so excited.

Syngin admitted to his mother and sister that there was tension in his marriage and he and Tania were just very "different people."

Syngin didn't want to stay with Tania for two more years just to break up at that point, and so he confessed he was "confused" and didn't know where he stood.
When Syngin visited with his brother, he said living in the United States was "not the perfect life," especially because he hadn't made any friends.
Tania worried Syngin being with his family in South Africa might persuade him to move back to his native country and leave her.
Syngin then met up with the roommates, Andrew and James, he had while living in South Africa, and the three guys celebrated Syngin's return with beers, shots and more.
When Syngin's friends asked him about Tania, Syngin replied, "Good sex can make you feel in love," he admitted he wasn't sure whether he was ready to make such a big commitment in getting married.
Syngin said he and Tania argued a lot and he "could be happier" in or out of the relationship.
"I'm having a lot of fun right now -- so much f-cking fun I might never go home. I love this f-cking country dude," Syngin told his friends.
Later on, Tania and Syngin enjoyed a "braai," which is a barbecue using wood in South Africa, with Syngin's family.
Syngin told his loved ones that he'd love to have land and raise a family in South Africa. Syngin said he realized he was missing out on life in South Africa when he had a fun night out with his friends.
Tania explained to Syngin's loved ones that she didn't want to raise a family in South Africa because of the poverty and racism, and Tania said she wanted her kids to grow up with people from so many different cultures and backgrounds.

"Kids? Who said that's ever going to happen?" Syngin asked.
Tania rolled her eyes and asked Syngin to "bring it down a notch." She said Syngin was well aware children were a part of her plan even before they got married and so it wasn't okay for him to flip a switch like that.
"America's not my f-cking dream," Syngin noted.
Tania said it was unfair for Syngin to have married her if he didn't plan on staying in America.
"Yes, I can understand it being hard and him being homesick, but I can't understand no steps being taken. I just don't want empty promises... I need to start seeing action," Tania told the cameras.
Tania started to cry at the dinner table and said Syngin had "no direction" and she was not feeling heard or appreciated.
Syngin said he never wanted to feel belittled and he's simply a laidback procrastinator.
"If two years isn't enough, then we shouldn't do this anymore," Tania told Syngin. "[I've given] you so many chances that you've failed at. You've broken so many promises. That I'm still here is amazement."
Once things calmed down and the pair went to a winery, Tania told Syngin that she wanted to work on things and not struggle for the next 10 years.
Syngin said he wanted to work on having a "healthy" marriage, but he said if times got worse, he believed it would be best to end the marriage and go their separate ways.
Tania acknowledged Syngin knew what she wanted and needed, and so it was up to him to change and make things happen.

Before flying back to America, Syngin told Tania that he didn't regret marrying her but they had so many things to work on and he wasn't happy in their relationship. He thought they were running out of time and patience for each other.
"It's going to be tough for me to get on a plane and fly back to Connecticut," Syngin admitted. "It's the way I feel."
Tania said it broke her heart to hear Syngin might want to stay in South Africa and she cried to the cameras about her husband's confusion.
"But I want to go there and work on these problems together," Syngin noted.
"I know I can't sit there and wait forever for change from someone who says they love me. I can't and I won't wait," Tania said.
Syngin confessed that he needed to change and wanted to carry on their marriage, and Tania replied, "I believe in us. I want to create a plan with you and a life with you, and that's all that matters."
Syngin believed Tania's love for him was genuine and real, and so he apparently wanted to become a better man for her.
"I'm happy he's choosing to come home with me and get to real work," Tania told the cameras, adding that she was going to work on her patience and anxiety.
"I'm going to do whatever I need to do, get a job and make money, just to keep our relationship happy," Syngin said.
But in the teaser trailer for 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s upcoming Season 5 Tell-All special, Syngin and Tania hinted they might be talking about getting divorced.

Tania and Syngin are definitely still married and together despite appearing to be on the edge of a breakup on Season 5 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?.The couple's ongoing relationship is evident on social media.
On September 24, Syngin posted three photos with Tania in which they were both wearing matching T-shirts for Pitbull Awareness Month, which is in October.

Syngin said he and Tania were getting an "early start," and the picture clearly shows they are still together living in the United States.
In late August, Tania captioned a slideshow of many photos with Syngin and tagged their location as North-South Lake Campground.
The pair were all smiles as they cooked food at a campfire and took in some beautiful views on a cliff.
"Camping trip with my lover. Such an amazing, beautiful, and fun time! With my foot still not back to 100% I'm So greatful there were easy and short hikes with breathtaking views. #LoveLife #NatureLover #TravelWithT #travelwithme #stateparks #90dayfiance #TaniaandSyngin #campinglife #campinggear," Tania captioned her slideshow.
Earlier that month, Tania posted a selfie of her driving with Syngin in the car, following by a sweet photo of the couple posing in each other's arms.
"Lovin life by his side," Tania captioned the photo, clearly giving away they are still married. "#90dayfiance #taniaandsyngin #lovinlife #naturelovers."
Going back to July, Tania posted a photo of herself cuddling up to Syngin in a pool. While the photo was an ad intended to sell sunglasses, it appears the photo was taken this summer, and she added the hashtag "#taniaandsyngin" to the post.
Tania also made it clear Syngin is still her husband on July 7 when discussing their upcoming one-year wedding anniversary.

And on that same day, Tania revealed she and Syngin went out for pizza and will "def be going" to the same place again.
"We also matched by accident and I couldn't have been more disgustingly cheesy happy about it," Tania wrote in the caption in Instagram, before asking people to wear their masks when out in public amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
In a June 21 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Syngin said he and Tania were "doing well," and Tania shared they're still living in Connecticut "in our new place."
"We are both in a good place of mind and have a good mindset," Syngin said after he and Tania both declined to confirm flat out whether they're still together.
"We're doing good!... We are quarantining together," Tania added.
As the interview progressed, Tania let down her guard a little bit more and dropped major hints she and Syngin are still a married couple.
"I definitely know our souls were destined to cross paths... Do I see myself with you forever? I do! And do I see you being the father of my children? I do! And do I see us being old and cranky together waiting for kids to come home on the bus? I do," Tania gushed.
"If relationships were built only on love, we'd have the best relationship ever. But we're two individual people with our own habits, likes, dislikes, minds and thoughts. And if we can blend all of that together, then we'll see."
On the topic of having kids, Tania said she'd like to start planning for the future but doesn't want to pressure Syngin to have babies at the same time.

For example, on June 30, Syngin posted a selfie and captioned it, "A fun night out @mohegansun before covid 19 hit us...#beforecovid19 #COVID-19 #coronavirus #gambling #datenight #casino #funtimes #marriedlife #couple #90dayfiance #tlc #tvshow #realityshow #realitytv #tv #sexy #90dayfiancehappilyeverafter #love #instagood #happiness."
And Tania posted a picture with Syngin on May 25 in which they were camping and dubbed themselves "nature lovers."
"After being here for a day, walking around some, no one recognized us and felt kinda good. Then.. late at night we hear 'Good night Tania and Syngin!' We just laughed yelled back good night {insert random names}! So weird, random, and dont think we'll ever get used to it," Tania captioned the picture.
Three days earlier, Syngin teased the couple's upcoming appearance on 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s fifth season, hinting they're still in love by writing hashtags such as "#crazylove" and "#sexycouple."
"To all the ups and downs and to the next round hahaha. Here we go season 5 of happily ever after, or is it happily ever after. Are you ready???" Syngin wrote.
"I can tell you that there has been a lot of changes and soooo much has happend, its kinda crazy so stay tuned to see what happens..14th of june 8pm ET... #crazylove #gingerhair #goodtimes #filming #couples #sexycouple #instagood #love."
And going all the way back to late February, Tania shared photos from their wedding with a caption that seemingly came straight from her heart.
"The day my human and I said 'I do.' From other lives to this life, I'm so happy our spirits met. I'm excited to explore this realm and planet with you in these human bodies," Tania gushed.
"You have brought me so much joy and laughter, adventures and memories, and I couldnt be more greatful for the wonder of it all. I love you alot alot."
