While the couple appears totally in love on the series, they've already faced some adversity -- and it appears the couple just recently got into a big fight.

Alina took to Instagram over the weekend and posted a selfie of herself in heavy, futuristic makeup in metallic and dark shades.

"Somebody with a V didn't really like this photo. But I think I look good here and it took me a really long time to do this makeup," Alina captioned the picture, which also featured the reality TV star rocking hoop earrings and a white blouse.

"Girls, don't let a man decide if you look beautiful or not," she added, seemingly suggesting that her Mormon boyfriend disapproved of and/or criticized her edgy, modern look.

Alina also added a blowing-kiss emoticon and the following hashtags to her post: #90dayfiance #90dayfiancetheotherway #90pillowtalk #realitytv #realityshow #90dayfiancetellall #90dayfiancenews.

Many of Alina's followers pointed out how it seems Steven is in "trouble" and Alina has taken shots at her man.

While Steven may not have liked Alina's sexy look, other 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way stars weighed in and complimented the brunette Russian beauty.

"You look amazing girl!!! Always," Evelin Villegas commented on the post.

And Kenny Niedermeier wrote, "Take it from a Y, [fire emoji]."

Steven, a proud and devout Mormon, revealed on 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way how he's a conservative guy and his faith is "superbly important" to him.

"When I was 19 years old, I got called to go on a mission and so, for the next two years, I lived in Eastern Europe and I learned to speak Russian. I'm super grateful that I did learn it because now I have Alina," Steven revealed.

Steven apparently met Alina on a language-exchange website and recalled, "I started helping her English a little bit and she's helping me with Russian."

After exchanging phone numbers, the couple talked all the time, but Alina admitted she was nervous about Steven's religion because most Russians would consider him to be part of "a cult."

"She didn't even want to meet up with me because she was afraid that I was going to sell her organs," Steven admitted with a laugh.

"I decided to invite her mom, invite my mom. Maybe I [could] convince her like, 'Hey, like, I'm not gonna harvest your organs, I'm not gonna kidnap you. Your mom will be there'... It made her comfortable and then she agreed."

Steven added how he and Alina felt an immediate attraction to each other and "instantly connected" when they finally met in person.

"Everything was so new and excited. I loved walking the streets with her and holding her hand, and it was just a magical first two weeks."

The couple proceeded to date for over a year, and Steven said he wanted to start the rest of his life with Alina. Steven therefore planned to move to Russia so Alina could finish college -- but the coronavirus pandemic drastically affected and changed their plans.

"The borders closed into Russia and so we had to look for another country where we could be together. We happened to find Turkey, which allows both Russians and Americans, so we're moving to Turkey!" Steven revealed.

Steven said he and Alina must marry right away in Turkey so he could apply for a spousal visa and they'd only have 90 days to do so, since both partners were traveling on Tourist Visas.

Steven imagined there wouldn't be any problems, but he was afraid to tell Alina that he hadn't lived up to the standards of the church. Steven revealed he is not a virgin and has had sex before, which may make Alina doubt everything he has ever told her.

But Alina already had trust issues considering Steven had asked to date other women a couple of weeks into their relationship and appeared to have several attractive female friends.

Steven also broke the news to Alina that he wanted to sleep in separate places once they both moved to Turkey so he wouldn't be tempted to have sex with her and fail his faith again.

Alina worried Steven would have too much freedom to meet and talk to other girls in that case, and so she asked her friend Masha to do her a favor since she was "sacrificing" her life for love.

Alina decided to test Steven's faithfulness and loyalty by asking Masha to message Steven on Instagram and flirt with him. Alina wanted to see if Steven would respond or maybe even hit on Masha given she's a beautiful Russian woman.

Alina also wanted to find out whether Steven would say he has a girlfriend.

Masha -- whom Steven had never seen or met -- agreed to help Alina out, even though she was a tad nervous Steven may take the bait.

Alina said she loved Steven but thought this was necessary in order to trust him.

"I hope it won't work," Alina noted. "If he doesn't pass this test, my heart will be broken. I don't know what I'm going to do after that."

Steven was then shown traveling to Turkey, and he hoped his sacrifice of leaving friends and family wouldn't be for nothing.
