90 Day Fianc: Loren & Alexei Brovarnik's Divorce Rumors Explained

90 Day Fiancé: 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 had met while she was in Israel on a Birthright trip and Alexei was working as a medic. Alexei had proposed to Loren before she left for the U.S. Loren flew to Israel five times in one year while waiting for Alexei’s visa to be approved. Once Alexei and Loren reunited in America, they got married and have welcomed three kids since then.

While Loren and Alexei had spent almost a decade being the couple who were looked up to by others for their marriage that had zero issues, their latest 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8 stint proved to be a bad decision. Loren and Alexei were not the “normal” or “drama-free” couple they’d pretended to be on social media, especially when Alexei dismissed Loren’s body dysmorphia struggles and admitted he wasn’t happy with having just three kids. Alexei wanted more despite knowing it was taking a toll on her physical and mental health.

Loren & Alexei Clashed Over Her Mommy Makeover Surgery

Why Did Loren Need Alexei's Permission?

Loren wanted a “natural mommy makeover” as soon as her daughter turned one. It was a toned-down term she was using for a 360 lipo from her 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, while her mother also opposed it, Alexei’s was the only opinion that mattered to Loren. Loren needed to speak to a therapist to get an opinion about what weight loss method would suit her best.

However, even if she had still decided to get surgery, Alexei needed to support his wife’s decision because it was making her feel better. Loren had welcomed three babies back-to-back which had taken a toll on her body. She wished to look the way she looked before she became a mom, and she wanted to look good for her husband. It also seemed to hint at things not being so great between Loren and Alexei when it came to intimacy if she needed to get surgery to make Alexei happy.

Doing Household Duties Was Beneath Alexei

Alexei Was Stressing Out

Meanwhile, Alexei wasn’t really concerned about the risks that came with the procedure as much as he was with the time for recovery. Alexei was “stressing out” about the eight weeks of not lifting or doing any heavy work that Loren had to do. He was worried about how he was going to do everything, which was basically the work that Loren was doing by herself every day of the year. He told the cameras that tension between him and Loren was going to rise because Loren was just going to be “laying there” and not able to do anything.

Loren used to work as an executive administrative assistant for a corporation. Her office wasn’t enforcing masks at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic and 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 had agreed it was best for her to focus on their growing family. Once Loren recovered, she thought of returning to work.

“I’m not gonna be your ***king cheerleader, OK?”

However, it’s possible that Alexei was the one who had decided on behalf of Loren, and she has simply agreed. Loren wanted Alexei to be her cheerleader and support her new endeavors, but Alexei’s response was weirdly, “Any man in the world that respects himself and his manhood don’t want his wife to tell him, ‘Come be my cheerleader.’” He later agreed that the discussion had taken place at the wrong place and wrong time. He agreed to support Loren, but as of November 2024, Loren is still not doing an office job, which means something.
