90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? couple Loren and Alexei Brovarnik are no longer the most successful franchise couple amid rumors of their split after several cracks in their marriage were exposed. Loren and Alexei met while she was in Israel on a Birthright trip and Alexei was working as a doctor. Alexei had proposed to Loren before she left for the US. Loren flew to Israel five times in one year while waiting for Alexei’s visa to be approved. After Alexei and Loren reunited in America, they got married and have since had three children.
Although Loren and Alexei spent nearly a decade as the couple admired by others for their trouble-free marriage, their last 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? Season 8’s timing proved to be a bad decision. Loren and Alexei were not the “normal” or “no drama” Couple they pretended to be on social media, especially when Alexei dismissed Loren’s body dysmorphia struggles and admitted he wasn’t happy with just having three kids. Alexei wanted more, despite knowing it was damaging his physical and mental health.
Loren and Alexei fought over mommy makeover surgery
Why did Loren need Alexei’s permission?
Loren wanted a “Mom’s Natural Makeover” as soon as her daughter turned one. It was a toned down term she used for 360 lipo of the chin, arms, upper back, lower back and thighs. Loren was putting herself first and hoped Alexei would approve of her decision. She was reclaiming her body, and although her mother was also opposed, Alexei’s opinion was the only one that mattered to Loren. Loren needed to speak to a therapist to get an opinion on which weight loss method would be best for her.
However, even though she still decided to have the surgery, Alexei needed to support his wife’s decision because it would make her feel better. Loren welcomed three babies in a row, which took a toll on her body. She wanted to look the same as she did before she became a mother and she wanted to look good for her husband. It also seemed to suggest things are not so good between Loren and Alexei when it came to intimacy, if she needed to have surgery to make Alexei happy.
Doing household chores was beneath Alexei
Alexei was stressed
Meanwhile, Alexei wasn’t really worried about the risks that came with the procedure, but rather the recovery time. Alexei was “stressing”About the eight weeks of not lifting or doing any heavy lifting that Loren had to do. He was worried about how he would get everything done, which was basically work that Loren did alone every day of the year. He told cameras that the tension between him and Loren would increase because Loren would just be “lying there” and is not able to do anything.
Alexei refused to let Loren return to work
Alexei didn’t want to be Loren’s cheerleader
Loren began working from home after the birth of her second child. She had to resign because her employer was being extremely hostile. Loren used work as an executive administrative assistant for a company. Her office wasn’t enforcing masks at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and she wasn’t willing to be flexible with her new schedule as a working mother. Loren had to drive an hour each way. Loren said that after much consideration, she and Alexei agreed that it was best for her to focus on growing her family. Once Loren recovered, she thought about returning to work.
“I’m not going to be your damn cheerleader, okay?”
However, it is possible that it was Alexei who made the decision on Loren’s behalf, and she simply agreed. Loren wanted Alexei to be her cheerleader and support her new ventures, but Alexei’s response was strangely, “Any man in the world who respects himself and his masculinity doesn’t want his wife to tell him, ‘Come be my cheerleader.’” He later agreed that the argument took place in the wrong place and time. He agreed to support Loren, but in November 2024, Loren still doesn’t work in an office, which is saying something.

Alexei captioned his story: “haha yes ma’am @lorenbrovarnik,” and praised Loren. Unfortunately, Loren I didn’t like Alexei’s words of encouragement. She suggested she was not happy with the half-hearted attempt when she reposted his story writing: “Not even my husband supporting me for 5 minutes.“

The fan asked: “I keep seeing tabs saying you guys broke up?” And instead of responding to them with a caption, Loren fanned the flames by sharing an old photo of her and Alexei looking into each other’s eyes on the beach.

Loren captioned her post: “Them: What are you going to for Halloween? Me: A doormat – I mean a mother of 3 kids.” Instead of placing the blame on the children, Loren should have confessed how her partner was taking advantage of Loren for her self-esteem to force her to do what he wanted.
