Is Alexei Brovarnik Really A Freeloader?
Alexei tried to leverage his popularity to get discounts
Loren’s 36th birthday on June 30 was supposed to be an occasion for Alexei to celebrate his wife and mother of his three children in the most special way possible. However, the day started off with accusations that the flamboyant reality TV star was trying to use his influence to get cheaper spa session deals for his wife. An account on Instagram on the handle@shabootydotcomposted screenshots ofAlexei sending private messages to spas in Miami, offering to tag their pages in posts to his and Loren’s Instagram followers in exchange for a cheaper spa package.
Despite not getting replies to some of the messages, Alexei followed up with two question marks before also offering collaboration options in order to “take his wife for a day of pampering.” While it is common for celebrities or influencers to reach out to brands for collaborations, Alexei’s desperate begging efforts didn’t sit well with fans. Considering the special occasion was Loren’s birthday, as her husband, Alexei, spending a considerable amount on pampering her shouldn’t be that difficult and if a spa session was too costly, Alexei would be better off treating her to what he could afford.
Alexei Brovarnik Expressed Concerns About Loren’s Mommy Makeover
Alexei wasn’t too excited about taking on more duties
Alexei initially seemed supportive of Loren’s decision to get her dream “Mommy Makeover” plastic surgery, but his tone changed when the duo visited the doctor before the procedure. At the clinic, Alexei was told he would have to drain tubes from Loren’s body every four to six hours and record how much he drained weekly. In addition, Alexei was told Loren could pop a blood vessel or suture if she lifted heavy things and that she would have to rest for four to six weeks. Alexei didn’t look pleased after hearing about the possible complications and his expected responsibilities.
Alexei didn’t waste time in voicing his concern, telling Loren, “It’s never too late to just say, ‘I’m not ready,’ I don’t know if I’m ready, hearing all of this information kind of stresses me out, honestly.” Instead of showing unwavering support to his wife, Alexei was more concerned about himself than Loren, whose abdomen muscles had separated(abdominal diastasis), a result of having three C-sections in two and a half years. Alexei’s decision to make the moments about himself is in tune with the egotistical persona for which he’s come to be known.
Alexei Brovarnik Just Said He Won’t Be A “Cheerleader” For Loren
Alexei wants Loren to focus solely on the family
SinceAlexei and Loren welcomed their first child, Shai Josef Brovarnik, in April 2020, the couple have added two more kids to their family. During this time, Loren had been occupied with her motherly and wife duties, not having time to think about returning to her career. However, when Loren recently approached Alexei about returning to work, he became visibly angry and told her he wasn’t on board with her plans. Loren, who expected her husband to support her, explainedshe wanted Alexei to be her cheerleader and support her in her career endeavors(viaInTouch).
Loren’s admission that Alexei might resent her because of the surgery after he became overwhelmed by taking care of her and the kids showcases how Alexei’s ego might be getting in the way of his reasoning.
However, the word cheerleader triggered Alexei, who retorted,“I’m not gonna be your f–king cheerleader, OK? Any man in the world that respects himself and his manhood don’t want his wife to tell him, ‘Come be my cheerleader.’” Although Alexei later agreed to support Loren’s decision, his initial outburst showed a lack of understanding and too much ego. After dedicating the last couple of years to becoming a mother and undergoing surgery, Alexei should have respected Loren’s sacrifice and supported her plan to be a “working mom” when she mentioned it instead of his initial harsh reply.
Alexei Brovarnik Won’t Get Intimate With Loren After Plastic Surgery
Alexei is acting out and won’t have sex with Loren
Alexei and Loren have always had a healthy sexual life, evidenced by the couple becoming kids to three kids in as many years. However,since Loren’s plastic surgery, which Alexei reluctantly agreed to support, the couple’s sex life has dropped significantly. Loren’s admission that Alexei might resent her because of the surgery after he became overwhelmed by taking care of her and the kids showcases how Alexei’s ego might be getting in the way of his reasoning, which has started affecting their relationship.
Instead of talking to his wife about his feelings and concerns, Loren was left guessing what might’ve gone wrong. Meanwhile, Loren’s decision to return to work also seems to be an issue. Loren noted,“Before marriage, before kids, I was more independent. I loved that version of myself. But Alex likes that version of Loren at home." Alexei might be acting out because he wants the stay-at-home Loren back (viaDaily Mail). Alexei and Loren are one of the most successful90 Day Fiancécouples, with how they’ve built a family, but his ego might destroy everything.
