Russia made their first advance into Ukraine on February 24th 2022. Now, 90 Day Fiancé fans are concerned for many of the show’s Ukranian cast members and their families including Natalie Mordovtseva and Yara Zaya.
90 Day Fiancé fans have followed Yara Zaya and Jovi Dufren since they first appeared on the show in 2020 during season 8. The couple are still going strong since meeting online and welcomed a daughter, Mylah, in 2020. Here’s more on whether Yara from 90 Day Fiancé is living in Ukraine and her safety in 2022.
90 Day Fiancé: Yara was born in Ukraine
Jovi Dufren met Yara Zaya on a dating app while travelling in Ukraine. After meeting, they travelled together and got married and had their daughter in 2020.
Jovi hailed from Louisiana and the two tied the knot in Las Vegas, over the course of their relationship, Yara and Jovi opted to live in the US but that didn’t come without some tension from Jovi’s family.
Yara and Jovi’s family also had some awkward conversations about stereotypes of Ukrainian women and Yara mentioned that she’d like to live in Budapest to be close to her mother in a 2021 episode of the show.
Where does Yara Dufren live now?
In 2022, Yara is living in the USA with Jovi and their daughter, Myla.
However, her family and friends are still living in Ukraine which is highly concerning given the current crisis.
Yara lives in Louisiana which is where Jovi was born.
90 Day Fiancé fans will likely be relieved that Yara is living in the USA as many took to Twitter to share their support for the show’s Ukrainian cast members. One person tweeted: “Also thinking of Yara from 90 Day Fiance and hoping her family back in Ukraine are safe. I can’t imagine being so far away from family right now.“
Yara appears on FOX News
On February 25th, 2022, Yara appeared on FOX News to voice her concerns about the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Yara said that her family lives in the southern region of Ukraine but many of her friends are in Kyiv. Speaking of her friends, Yara said that her friends and family are “terrified” and “can’t sleep“.
When asked if her friends and family have tried to leave Ukraine, Yara said that they’re currently unable to and that she suggested that they go to stay with her mother who lives on the Hungarian border. Yara also added that “no one was prepared” for the current situation in Ukraine.
