Alexei Lost His Ring At An Inopportune Time In Israel
It “Conveniently” Fell Off In The Water
Alexei recently caused issues with Loren in Israel. During their trip,Lorentook to Instagram to memorialize the beach where Alexei proposed to her ten and a half years ago. However, Alexei, coming out of the water, sheepishly admitted that he had lost his ring in the ocean. “I lost my ring,” the Israeli man claimed, adding that it was a rubber ring that had already been stretched out.“So convenient,” Loren jokedon shore during the video. However, the entire recording had an uneasy feel to it, making it unclear whether Loren and Alexei were serious.
Alexei and Loren seemed like the perfect90 Day Fiancécouple, but they’ve been showing cracks in their relationship.
Additionally, Alexei recently tried to get a discount on a spa day for Loren’s birthday in exchange for posting about their business on his feed. While influencers definitely get deals on brands and experiences, typically, companies reach out to the social media stars themselves, not the other way around. Alexei not being willing to pay for a special day for Loren isn’t a sign of a healthy union.
Loren Revealed Her Mommy Makeover Changed Their Physical Relationship
Alexei And Loren Have Increased Miscommunication
“Usually Alex and I have a very healthy sex life, but because of the surgery and then negative energy and fighting all the time, our intimacy hasn’t been as much as he would like.”
In a recent episode of90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?season 8, Loren revealed that her “mommy makeover” procedure changed the nature of her physical relationship with Alexei. During an outing with a friend, Loren opened up about her feelings, saying, “Usually Alex and I have a very healthy sex life, but because of the surgery and then negative energy and fighting all the time, our intimacy hasn’t been as much as he would like.” It’s not uncommon for couples to struggle with intimacy when trying to raise young children, but recovering from surgery adds another difficult layer.
Their sex life wasn’t the only problem addressed in the episode. After giving up her career to be a stay-at-home mom and mommy influencer,Loren expressed her desire to start working again. Alexei was displeased with this revelation, explaining that he and Loren had agreed she would stay at home with the kids. However, after struggling with post-partum depression, Loren said that she wanted to “further my career for our family. I don’t want to just be mom and a wife.” Her new goals could cause trouble with Alexei.
Loren Is Still Unsure About Moving To Israel
Her Parents Aren’t Supportive
Whether Loren and Alexei would permanently relocate to Israel with their three children has been an ongoing topic of discussion between the pair. While both parents felt it was important for Shai, Asher, and Ariel to experience the culture in Israel, Loren’s parents were vehemently against it. Amid the Israel-Hamas war, Loren’s parents' concerns have only grown. Their main concerns revolved around the children’s requirement to eventually serve in the Israel Defense Forces and whether Loren would get custody of the kids if things with Alexei went south.
Living in Israel for at least a few years is especially important for Alexei, and it could be a dealbreaker for him if Loren advocates staying in Florida. While she’s seemed unsure in the past due to her parents' qualms,Loren has also expressed the importance of living in Israel. After returning from their trip,Lorenwas shifty when answering a fan question on her Instagram stories. When asked whether the Brovarniks would move to Israel, Loren simply said, “only time will tell,” followed by goofy and kissy face emojis.
Loren and Alexei have been one of the most consistent couples in the90 Day Fiancéfranchise, but it seems their relationship could be on the rocks. Between a coincidental ring loss and the disintegration of their sex life, Loren and Alexei need to prioritize each other moving forward. If Alexei can support Loren’s goals, and they can come to an agreement regarding their relocation to Israel, perhaps their marriage can survive their90 Day Fiancéjourney.
