It's been a wild ride. Honestly, if you told me back in 2020 that the Ukrainian girl who hated New Orleans and the guy who couldn't stay away from strip clubs would still be together in 2026, I’m not sure I would've believed you. Most 90 Day Fiancé couples flame out before the reunion special even airs. But Yara Zaya and Jovi Dufren? They’ve basically built an empire out of being the couple everyone loves to doubt.
If you’ve been scrolling through Instagram or catching the latest TLC snippets, you know the vibe. People are constantly asking if they’re getting a divorce or if Yara is finally pregnant with baby number two. The truth is a lot more complicated than a "yes" or "no" on a Story slide.
The Miami Move Changed Everything
For the longest time, the biggest point of contention was Louisiana. Yara famously hated the "swamp" vibes of New Orleans. She wanted luxury, city life, and a place where her high-fashion sensibilities didn't look out of place next to a bait shop.
Well, she got her wish.
The couple officially moved to Miami, and it seems to have saved their marriage. If you’ve seen their recent house tour, you know they aren't exactly roughing it. Living in Florida has given Yara the backdrop she needs for her influencer lifestyle, and it’s arguably brought her and Jovi onto the same "wavelength." They’re both into the nightlife scene there, though the drama hasn't totally vanished.
"She's comfortable in Miami," one fan noted on Reddit recently. "They’re both on the same wavelength and like going out now."
But it wasn't all sunshine and palm trees getting there. Remember The Last Resort? That show was a mess, but it was also a turning point. We found out Yara was secretly taking birth control because she didn't want another kid while Jovi was constantly away for work. It was a massive betrayal of trust for Jovi, but for Yara, it was about survival. She didn't want to be a single mom with two kids while her husband was on an underwater robotics rig for weeks at a time.
Where They Stand with Baby Number Two
The "is she pregnant?" rumors are basically a hobby for the fandom at this point.
Every time Yara wears a loose dress, the comments section explodes. As of 2026, the answer is still no. But they did add a "new family member" recently—just not the human kind. They adopted an adorable puppy named Mila.
Mylah, their daughter, is basically the star of the show now. She’s five years old and has already traveled to more countries than most adults. Seriously, the kid is a pro traveler. Yara and Jovi seem to agree on one thing: giving Mylah a world-class childhood.
Why the second baby is a touchy subject:
- Jovi’s Job: He still works in underwater robotics, which means he's gone for long stretches. Yara has been firm: she won't do two kids alone.
- The "Secret" Birth Control: That wound from The Last Resort took a long time to heal. It created a lot of insecurity for Jovi regarding their future plans.
- Mila the Puppy: For now, the dog is the "test run" for more responsibility.
Honestly, Jovi has been pretty vocal about wanting another one. He’s posted "stay tuned" and "to be continued" on Instagram more times than I can count. It feels like he’s trying to manifest a son, but Yara is the one holding the line. She’s busy.
The Business Side of Yara Zaya
You can’t talk about Yara and Jovi now without talking about the money. Yara isn't just a "reality star" anymore; she’s a legitimate entrepreneur, even if it comes with a side of controversy.
Her online boutique, YaraZaya Shop, and her makeup line, Boujee by Yara, have been massive successes. But it hasn't been without its haters. Fans have accused her of "dropshipping"—buying cheap clothes from sites like Alibaba and upselling them for $90. Yara, being Yara, didn't take that sitting down. She’s been known to go toe-to-toe with critics in her DMs, defending her quality and her brand.
Say what you want about the price tags, but the girl knows how to market. She’s leveraged her TLC fame into a lifestyle brand that keeps them living in that high-end Miami condo.
Are They Actually Happy?
This is the million-dollar question.
If you look at their social media, they’re the perfect family. If you watch the Tell-Alls, it looks like they’re one "never have I ever" game away from a lawyer’s office. During the most recent specials, fellow cast members like Andrei dropped bombs about Jovi calling him up, allegedly under the influence, talking about divorce.
Jovi’s response? "I wasn't 100% serious."
That’s the thing with these two. They play a lot for the cameras. They know that "we’re perfectly happy" doesn't get you a contract for another season of Happily Ever After?. They lean into the "party boy vs. high-maintenance wife" trope because it works.
But behind the scenes, there’s a real foundation there. Jovi’s mom, Mrs. Gwen, is often cited as the "glue" holding them together. She’s one of the few 90 Day mothers-in-law who actually supports the spouse. She calls Jovi out on his immaturity, and she’s been Yara’s biggest ally since day one.
The 2026 Reality
So, what’s the actual status of Yara and Jovi now?
They are still married. They are living in Miami. They are raising Mylah and their new dog, Mila. They are still filming for the franchise, likely appearing in upcoming seasons of Diaries or another spin-off.
The "strip club" drama has cooled down, mostly because they’re doing the "party lifestyle" together in Miami rather than Jovi going off on his own. It’s a compromise. Not a perfect one, but it seems to be working for them.
Actionable Takeaways for Fans
- Don't believe every "split" rumor: Jovi loves to troll his followers. If he says "we aren't together" in a Q&A, check the background of his photo—he's usually sitting right next to her.
- Watch the business moves: Yara is likely to expand her "Boujee" brand into skincare or more specialized fashion soon. That’s where her real focus is.
- Expect more travel content: They’ve made travel their "thing." If you want to see where they're going next, keep an eye on their YouTube channel rather than just the TLC edits.
They’ve beaten the odds. Whether it’s out of genuine love, shared business interests, or just a mutual desire to stay on TV, Yara and Jovi have become one of the most stable (if loud) couples in the 90 Day universe.
