Natalie Mordovtseva encountered Mike Youngquist in season 4 of 90 Day: The Single Life and drew parallels between their relationship and that of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck. Initially introduced in 90 Day Fiancé season 7, Natalie and Michael struggled with their mismatched personalities, leading to an unresolved relationship dynamic. Despite their challenges, Mike sponsored Natalie's K-1 visa and they tied the knot in Washington on April 15, 2020. However, Natalie felt neglected by Mike as his professional commitments consumed most of their time together.
Subsequently, Natalie parted ways with Mike and later appeared on 90 Day: The Single Life alongside Josh Weinstein.
Natalie ended her relationship with Josh due to his reluctance to start a family, a priority for her. In an upcoming episode of 90 Day: The Single Life season 4, Natalie and her mother encounter Mike. According to ET, the Ukrainian native warmly embraces her former partner and presents him with flowers.
During a confessional, Natalie compliments Mike for his height and good looks.
She goes on to express her desire to rekindle their relationship, drawing inspiration from the successful reconciliation of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck. Natalie is convinced that they make a great pair.
Natalie summarises the meeting with Mike as “magic.”

Although Natalie currently describes Mike as handsome, she didn’t feel the same way when they were married and living together in Sequim, Washington.
During a heated argument, the 39-year-old reality star insulted her husband’s physical appearance and asked him to lose weight.
Natalie also criticized Mike for drinking beer at the end of the day, calling him “low class.” Despite Mike's attempts to remain calm, Natalie further questioned his intelligence by asking about his IQ. Additionally, Mike appeared aloof and did not show love and care for Natalie, even during marriage counseling.
Natalie's sudden change in behavior towards Mike can be seen as opportunistic, as she is only interested in him now because she has broken up with Josh and feels lonely. Despite her warm and friendly demeanor towards Mike, her care for him may not be genuine. In addition, Natalie's mother has influenced her to reconcile with Mike and persuade him to have a baby with her. It is clear that Natalie's current actions are driven by her own needs and circumstances.
Mike, on the other hand, may not be as expressive as Natalie, but he understands her well due to their long history together. Despite Natalie leaving Mike in Washington and running off to Florida, there is still a lingering care between them. If they commit to working on their issues and promise to communicate openly, their concern for each other could potentially develop into a deeper love that could make their marriage work.
Although Mike hasn’t discussed having children, Natalie could convince him to become a father.
Natalie and Mike’s meeting in the upcoming 90 Day: The Single Life episode would be worth watching.
90 Day: The Single Life airs Mondays at 8 p.m. EST on TLC.
