Sarper and Shekinah, the dynamic couple from TLC’s hit reality show *90 Day Fiancé*, have recently opened up about their relationship following an intense tell-all episode. Despite the challenges they faced, the couple is determined to keep their marriage strong.
In an exclusive interview with *Us Weekly*, Shekinah shared, “We’re together. Listen, we’re a real couple, so we go through real ups and downs. Right now, we’re up. Tomorrow we might be down. We don’t know.” The couple attended the 10th anniversary event of *Juicy Scoop with Heather McDonald* on June 25, where they discussed their relationship’s rollercoaster nature.
Before arriving at STK Restaurant in Westwood, California, the couple admitted that they had experienced a rough start to the day but managed to turn things around. “We’re Scorpios, so it makes perfect sense, right?” Shekinah joked. “We love hard, fight hard.”
The drama surrounding their relationship was highlighted in part one of the *90 Day Fiancé* season 11 tell-all, which aired on June 22. During the episode, Sarper revealed that Shekinah had kicked him out less than a month after their wedding, leading to a brief separation. However, the couple is now focusing on the positives.
“Our ideal date night is in bed,” Shekinah revealed. “We’re doing a hardcore bed rot. We’re literally watching our trashiest shows, eating the most disgusting American snacks.” They confessed to indulging in guilty pleasures like *Love After Lockup* while enjoying frozen yogurt.
When asked about what they admire most about each other, Sarper affectionately called Shekinah his “evil baby,” describing her as someone who can be both innocent and fierce. “I don’t know what I’m dealing with. I love her,” he said. Shekinah reciprocated the sentiment, saying, “I love his cute little face. He’s just such a little baby right now. He can turn very evil, very fast. Don’t be deceived by this sweet face.”
As for their relationship with other couples from the show, Sarper stated, “We are good with real couples.” He humorously referenced the first throuple featured on *90 Day Fiancé*, saying, “Sincere, real couples. Everyone, maybe millions, have fantasies of threesomes. That’s a fantasy of people, but after this [season], even I don’t want one.”
*90 Day Fiancé* continues to captivate audiences with its unique exploration of love across borders. The show first premiered in 2014, showcasing the K-1 visa process that allows engaged individuals from different countries to marry in the U.S. The series has since spawned over 25 spinoffs, each highlighting the complexities of international relationships.
With their ups and downs, Sarper and Shekinah remain committed to navigating the challenges of their marriage together. Viewers can catch the latest episodes of *90 Day Fiancé* on TLC every Sunday at 8 p.m. ET, with past episodes available for streaming on Discovery+.
