We first met Jovi and Yara on 90 Day Fiance Season 8. Jovi traveled all over the world for his job, but found himself exploring so many countries alone. He downloaded a travel app to meet new people and that was when he met Yara, from Ukraine. The couple connected and talked for a while before deciding to meet up in Budapest, Hungary.

Their connection grew into a full-fledged relationship and Yara flew from her home in Kyiv, Ukraine to live with Jovi in New Orleans, Lousiana. They embraced each other at the airport after Yara arrived.

Jovi gave Yara a tour of NOLA. Yara was unsure of the city at first, but tried her best to get used to her new surroundings.

Later on, the couple began arguing about the furniture in their apartment, details about their upcoming nuptials, and Jovi's partying. Although they had their moments, Jovi and Yara wanted to make things work.

Unfortunately, Jovi had to leave New Orleans for work during their 90 days together. Yara had to find her way around the city while he was gone.

Jovi's friend, Sara, invited Yara to a salon to get pedicures together. She knew that Yara was still adapting to her new life and wanted her to have a friend nearby while Jovi was working. The two of them mostly chatted about Jovi's past.

Yara soon discovered she was pregnant and called a friend to seek advice. She wondered if she and Jovi were truly ready for parenthood.

Yara broke the news to Jovi once he returned home and at first he didn't believe her! He asked her to take a second pregnancy test. The test came back positive and the couple officially had a baby on the way! Although a child wasn't part of their plan just yet, the couple embraced the pregnancy and moved forward with their Las Vegas wedding.

Jovi's parents, Gwen and Monty, hosted a fun engagement party for the couple. During the party, Jovi and Yara told them they were going to be grandparents! Although things were looking up, the couple still quarrelled over rules in their relationship and Jovi's partying.

Yara originally wanted a small, intimate wedding with just her and Jovi because her family in Ukraine wouldn't be able to attend. Eventually, the wedding party grew and Jovi's parents and some friends joined in on the trip to Las Vegas. Here, Jovi and his pals, Kline and Caz, spent some time at the casino before the big day.

With an Elvis Presley impersonator/officiant by their side, Jovi and Yara tied the knot. Congratulations, newlyweds!

After the wedding, the couple returned to New Orleans and prepared for their baby's arrival.

Jovi and Yara enjoyed their time together as they waited for their little one.

Welcome to the family, baby Mylah!

Jovi and Yara are back on 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? Season 6.

Jovi was eager to go on their honeymoon, but Yara was attached to their newborn and wanted to wait a few months before taking a trip. This left Yara worried that Jovi didn't want to give up his party lifestyle, while Jovi felt she was too attached to Mylah.

As they began to adjust to life as new parents, Yara felt that Jovi’s mom didn't trust her skills as a new mother. Yara also expressed her worry that Jovi might lose bonding time with Mylah while he's away for work.

Jovi left for work, leaving Yara to take care of Mylah with help from his mom. Yara felt uncomfortable staying at Jovi's mom’s house and decided to go back to New Orleans and care for Mylah on her own.

Yara found out that Jovi has to stay away for work longer than expected, leaving her frustrated and worried about her next steps.

While Jovi was away, Yara moved to the suburbs. Upon returning home, he had trouble adjusting to being so far from the city.

The couple celebrated Ukrainian Christmas in their new home with Jovi’s mom and cousins. Tension increased after Yara asked the family to leave early so Mylah could rest.

Jovi convinced Yara to take a romantic trip to Miami. An argument ensued after Yara started worrying about Mylah even though Jovi’s mom came along to babysit.

During their date night in Miami Jovi and Yara talked things out. Their evening went south at the strip club when Jovi refused to leave.

The next day, the couple had a lot to talk about and they rehashed the strip club situation. Yara was concerned about Jovi's maturity level and Jovi felt Yara was overreacting to his behavior. In the end, they agreed to try harder, work on their relationship, and focus on being a family.

On Season 3 of 90 Day Diaries, Jovi, Yara, and baby Mylah fled their home to seek shelter in Texas. Hurricane Ida tore through Louisiana and luckily, the family was able to avoid danger. While they were away, they celebrated Mylah's first birthday with her favorite snack, Cheetos.

After war broke out in Ukraine, the couple discussed how they could support Yara's home country over video chat. Yara decided to donate blankets and Mylah's old clothes to those in need.

Jovi and Yara returned for Season 7 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?. With Jovi home from work, Yara wanted to go out and have fun with a couple of new friends. However, it was clear that Jovi wasn't too fond of Yara staying out late with her new buddies — and her friends weren't the biggest fans of Jovi either.

Jovi and Yara met with Gwen to discuss their recent falling out. Yara felt Gwen wasn't coming around as much as a grandma should, but Gwen thought she was doing her best and had no idea the new parents felt let down. After being able to communicate and hear each other's points of view, they hashed it out and moved forward as a family.

Yara was heartbroken knowing that her family and friends were struggling in Ukraine. Although her mom was safe in Czech Republic, the rest of her loved ones had to stay put. Jovi and Yara talked about traveling to Europe to see her mom, but they weren't on the same exact page. Yara wanted to visit Europe as soon as she received her Green Card, but since Jovi would be away at work, he wanted her to wait until after he returned. After multiple conversations, Yara agreed to wait so they could travel together.

A few weeks later, the couple arrived in Czech Republic! Yara's mom, Olga, was thrilled to see her daughter and son-in-law again — and she was just as excited to meet her granddaughter for the very first time.

Olga asked Yara if she planned on staying in Europe and Yara felt unsure. As much as she enjoyed the life she was building in the states, she felt so at home in Europe.

Yara and Olga planned a day of apartment hunting in Prague. Jovi didn't like that they didn't involve him in the planning and he was against the idea, but he reluctantly joined the search. Unfortunately, Yara quickly realized that her budget wouldn't cover a place with space for her whole family.

The pair met up with Jovi's old traveling buddy, Talmadge. The night started off light, but once Talmadge heard about Yara's apartment search, he immediately questioned Yara and voiced his concerns. This rubbed Yara the wrong way.

Yara had an emotional reunion with her friend, Karina, in Germany. Karina shared that she fled her home in Ukraine just in time and found a safe place to stay. Yara felt guilty knowing what her loved ones were going through, and it made her want to stay in Europe longer to help — and she already knew Jovi wouldn't be happy about it.

Jovi and Yara finally had another discussion about Yara and Mylah staying in Europe while Jovi goes work. This time, Olga, Talmadge, and Karina joined the conversation. Jovi felt believed that this wasn't Yara's original plan and that Olga and Karina were influencing her decision. Yara felt that it would be fine because Jovi would be at work anyway. Lots of strong opinions, but once again, no resolution.

Jovi and Yara had a conversation about their future — away from everyone else — and Jovi brought up having another baby. Yara was absolutely shocked.

After their friends got involved again, Jovi and Yara decided to spend their last day in Europe alone. They realized they spent the whole trip arguing about their future and whether or not they should leave together as a family. Jovi told Yara he understood her reasons and she reciprocated. Eventually, Jovi apologized and said he'd be okay with Yara and Mylah staying in Europe while he went to work. Yara was overjoyed and Jovi was glad to see Yara happy again. As for baby number two, that was a conversation for another day.

The couple shared a tearful goodbye and Jovi left to go back to the states. They knew being apart would be difficult and Jovi still had his doubts about the situation, but they were willing to give it a try.

Luckily, everything worked out for the best! Jovi and Yara wore Ukranian colors to the 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? Season 7 Tell All and shared the latest on their relationship.

Jovi and Yara appeared on the first season of 90 Day: The Last Resort. They arrived as a united front, but they still had a few marital issues they needed to work out. The biggest problem revolved around children. Jovi wanted a second child soon, but Yara wasn't ready yet.

Yara hid something from Jovi and revealed what it was during a group therapy session. She had been secretly taking birth control without telling Jovi. He was confused and felt blindsided by her bombshell.

The couple rehashed the birth control situation at dinner and left in a not-so-good place. Yara went to bed, but Jovi went to the bar with another retreat attendee, Angela. They had one drink too many and brought the party back to their rooms and woke up a sleeping Yara. The next morning, Jovi and Yara were both upset with each other and let their feelings out.

Jovi and Yara had a yoga session and chatted more about when they would have another kid. With de-stressed minds and bodies, the couple found common ground and agreed to communicate more.

The ladies had a girls' night at the resort and tried on some lingerie. Yara opened up about her struggles with body image and felt fully supported by the other women. She wanted to prioritize building her self-esteem while strengthening her marriage at the retreat.

Yara came clean to Jovi's mom, Gwen, about her birth control secret. Gwen was shocked and told the couple that they needed to fix their communication issues and be honest with one another. Gwen then prompted Jovi to share his own secret that he was keeping from Yara.

Jovi revealed that he received a job offer to be closer to home, but he declined. He didn't bring it up to Yara because it was a different job in an office and he felt it wasn't the right choice for him. Jovi was away at work for months at a time, so Yara was deeply upset by his decision and the fact that she wasn't included. They both knew that trust and transparency were the main problems in their marriage.

Jovi and the guys had a night out. However, Jovi didn't mention they were going to the strip club. Considering their past experiences with strip clubs, it was a sore spot. Yara was disappointed in Jovi for his decision and Jovi defended himself, saying he just wanted to create a fun night for the other guys who had never gone to the club before.

There was one last unsaid detail about the night before. Jovi reached out to a stripper he knew who lived in Key West. When Yara found out, she was livid. And so, she threw her drink at him.

To make matters worse, Big Ed, who also went to the strip club, brought Jovi and Yara's daughter into the conversation. Jovi stepped up to Ed on the boat and security intervened. Although Yara was still upset with Jovi, she agreed with her husband and told Ed not to mention their daughter.

Mistakes were made and feelings were hurt, but Jovi and Yara weren't ready to throw in the towel. They chose each other at the recommitment ceremony and vowed to work towards a brighter future — with much better communication!

Jovi and Yara appeared on the ninth season of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After. The couple and daughter Mylah moved to Miami, Florida and they were ready to plant their roots. They were excited about the opportunity to connect and develop friendships with some other 90 Day Fiance couples in the state.

Jovi, Yara, and Mylah attended a housewarming party hosted by another 90 Day couple, Loren and Alexei. Fellow alums, Elizabeth and Andrei, also stopped by. Jovi and Yara were looking forward to bonding with the other couples, but things turned sour when Andrei and Loren got into a huge argument.

Andrei wanted to move to Moldova with Elizabeth and their kids, but Loren didn't support the idea and emphasized that Elizabeth seemed hesitant to move. Loren argued that the mom needed to feel her best to raise their kids and Loren's friend, Noga, stepped in, which only escalated things.

Jovi and Yara watched as the conversation turned chaotic. It wasn't the kind of housewarming party they envisioned and they were baffled by the experience.

Girls' night! Yara went out with Elizabeth and Loren ahead of Elizabeth's trip to Moldova. Loren continued begging Elizabeth to stay in the United States, but Yara encouraged Elizabeth to truly explore the country. She told Elizabeth she may really like it there and that she should be open to it.

Yara asked Loren for some help with photography. She launched a pet accessories brand and needed promo pics for the items. It was hard for them to get a good shot, but Yara was satisfied in the end. Afterward, they chatted about Alexei's desire for Loren to be more "feminine" and Yara realized that not everything was what it seemed on the outside of the couple's relationship. Understanding Loren's position as a mom, Yara gave her support.

Yara debuted her new business! She was excited to showcase her pet accessories to everyone attending her launch party. However, the energy shifted when Elizabeth and Loren engaged in a tense conversation with one another.

Previously, Jovi and Yara told Elizabeth and Andrei than Loren and Alexei shared some not-so-nice opinions about them (mostly Andrei). So, Elizabeth and Loren got into it, later joined by their husbands. The conversation turned into a heated argument and became a huge distraction during the party.

Yara couldn't understand why the other couples decided to fight at her party when she expected a fun evening and support from her new friends. Eventually, Loren and Alexei left the event and Jovi tried to calm down Elizabeth and Andrei while Yara shed some tears.

The coupel went on a ski trip with Loren and Alexei! Jovi proposed playing a game of Never Have I Ever with them and it led to a conversation about how they all looked in high school. Jovi said that Loren looked the same in her photos, but that Yara's were "the worst" and called her "unrecognizable."

Yara was less than pleased with Jovi's comments, espeically because he said these things in front of their friends. After Loren and Alexei went back to their room, Jovi and Yara had some back and forth about what went down. Yara was hurt and emphasized that she didn't talk about Jovi's appearance, so he shouldn't have talked about hers. She said she spent years in therapy working out her past and didn't understand how Jovi could bring up the one thing that would upset her.

Elizabeth and Andrei joined the trip and Yara confided in the ladies about the comments Jovi made about her appearance. Elizabeth and Loren supported her and they both thanked her for bringing everyone together for a fun vacation. Yara told them to "inhale positivity and exhale negativity," hoping that all the couples could get over their differences and have a great time together.

The wives spent the next day together and Yara figured it was a good time for Elizabeth and Loren to put aside their tension. The two hashed things out and the conversation almost went south, but Yara reiterated that they were there to have fun and ejnoy themselves. She was very much over the drama.

Unfortunately, there was more drama to come. Elizabeth told Yara that Loren made megative comments about how she dressed. It was yet another knock to Yara's appearance and she was understandably upset. Eventually, Elizabeth and Andrei and Loren and Alexei made up. However, Yara was still bothered. Jovi led Loren and Yara away from the group to talk. He mentioned Elizabeth and Yara's conversation and Yara confronted Loren about the comments.

Loren said she never made fun of Yara and that she was actually jealous of how Yara dressed with such confidence. Yara didn't know what to believe and felt exhausted, prompting Jovi to leave with her.
