Before 90 Day Season 7?

90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days The storyline of the couple Vanja Grbic and Božo Vrdoljak in season 7 did not get off to a good start in episode 9. Vanja is a 41-year-old woman from Orlando, Florida. She is multitalented and does four jobs. Vanja is a professional belly dancer, permanent makeup artist, vegan baker and medical sales representative. Vanja is originally from Bosnia. Vanja has painful memories of surviving on boiled flour and onions while air raids took place and bombs fell everywhere. Vanja managed to change her life for the better as she grew up.

Vanja was engaged to a man she thought she would spend the rest of her life with 11 years ago. However, they started arguing and she couldn’t understand what was going on until Vanja found her partner kissing a different woman on the couch. It might have been like a scene from a movie playing in slow motion. 90 Day Fiance star Vanja, but it took her years to recover from the shock of learning her future husband was leading a double life.

How did Vanja meet Božo?

Vanja was on a solo trip in Croatia

Vanja is originally from Bosnia, in Eastern Europe. Eight months before filming Before 90 days, Vanja took a solo trip back home to reconnect with her culture, her country and her people to get her “rhythm” back after her broken engagement. Vanja went to Serbia, Bosnia, Slovenia and Croatia. She went to many different cities she had never been to before and ended up in Split. While she was out for a night on the town, she was bored and browsing a raunchy app when she saw a man she described as “absolute perfection.”

“And it was like, ‘Wow, my God.’”

Vanja introduced Božo saying that he was a very successful basketball player. She said she had never dated any athlete before and Božo was “really hot, really hot.” Božo had a six-pack of beer where Vanja wanted to do laundry. It was an immediate blow to the right, but Božo didn’t respond until he had already left the city. It was time for her to return home after her trip alone, but Božo and her started talking, and this continued over time. She felt butterflies in her stomach every time she received a message from Božo.

Božo’s biggest red flag revealed

Božo “froze” his relationship with Vanja because of his ex

Vanja knew that Božo could hurt her personally, as he had done once in the past. Vabja was planning her trip to Croatia after a few months of her relationship. However, she suddenly noticed that Božo was acting a little strange. He didn’t answer the phone and wasn’t that communicative. He finally called Vanja to tell her he wouldn’t see her again. “I’m seeing someone here, sorry,” said Božo. However, a few months passed when Božo told Vanja that he was no longer with the other woman and wanted to work on his feelings for Vanja.

Božo didn’t tell his family about Vanja

Božo was afraid that his mother would pressure him to marry Vanja

Vanja and Božo talked all the time. She liked that he had an interesting sense of humor and made her laugh. She was flying to Croatia to meet Božo for the first time in real life. She was excited to see where their relationship would go when they were together in real life. Božo lived with his mother and aunt. He called himself a “rusty old Cadillac.” Božo’s aunt and mother were a religious duo, praying that he would find a new girlfriend and move out. His mother wanted Božo to have a partner who would satisfy him.

He said his mother would “probably” be thrilled with Vanja, but she didn’t know Vanja existed. He thought his mother would raise his hopes and pressure him to marry Vanja. Although he envisioned a future with Vanja, he figured his mother would push him and start planning the wedding. He only told his mother about his new romance the day before Vanja arrived in Split. “I don’t want my mother to get her hopes up and it’s all in vain,” he added. He said his mother would tell Vanja “some things” that he wasn’t ready to deal with.

Božo has no job

Meanwhile, Božo told his mother that he would meet Vanja in Croatia while she spent three weeks there. As expected, his mother’s first reaction was “Thank God”. She wished Vanja would help Božo find himself. She asked Božo if Vanja knew he didn’t have a job. “She doesn’t. I told her I play basketball,” he admitted. Božo’s mother mentioned that he couldn’t make a living from basketball because it was more of a recreational activity. Božo didn’t think he “needed” to tell Vanja that. Božo was replaced by “better and taller” players in his team.

“She is a successful woman and I am nowhere near her qualities and hard work. So it seems a little less expensive.”

Božo ghosted Vanja while she traveled to Croatia

Božo was having doubts about even meeting her

While on her way to the love of her life, Vanja only had 10 minutes to get to her connecting flight and didn’t hear from Božo. She’s been in touch all day and Božo hasn’t answered. She missed her flight, but the airlines were able to book another flight for her. Meanwhile, Božo didn’t answer her calls before she left, he didn’t text her when she was flying, and it had been a whole day since she had heard from him. She feared he had changed his mind.

Božo said Vanja is his “good friend”

Vanja didn’t expect to hear this from Božo

However, Božo answered Vanja’s call when she arrived in Frankfurt. He didn’t tell her why he turned her into a ghost and Vanja didn’t ask either. Talking to his mother made him eager to meet Vanja. He was “consciously and subconsciously” moving away from her, but he suddenly remembered that Vanja was something special to him and that they had a bright future ahead of them.

He made her feel special by gifting her a live plant when he met her at the airport. Instead of going to her apartment to check in, Božo took her on a cooking class date. While introducing themselves to the other couples doing Soparnik, someone asked if they were official or “something in between.” Božo told them that he and Vanja were “just good friends.” Vanja was hurt by Božo’s statement and said: “No, we are not.”

Vanja hoped to get engaged to Božo on the trip

Did Božo propose to Vanja?

Vanja told producers that she hoped to win a ring at the end of the trip. For her, it would have been the “best gift” he could take home. Vanja was confused when she heard her say that they were just friends when she was in Split to pursue a potential connection. It was very painful for Vanja to hear this. She didn’t know what was going on in Božo’s head, although she knew he joked a lot. Vanja admitted that she was “completely speechless.”

Are Vanja and Božo still a couple in 2024?

Are Vanja and Božo still together?

Božo didn’t take a “big step” in the dark without knowing there was romantic chemistry between them. He refused to sleep with Vanja in her apartment. Vanja confessed that Božo’s behavior came as a shock to her, but she expected a change in behavior. However, she began to feel like she might have been an idiot all along. It can’t be deciphered whether Vanja and Božo got together after 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, but they follow each other on Instagram if that’s anything to go by.
