After four years of residing in the United States to wed Mike Youngquist, 90 Day Fiancé star Natalie Mordovtseva, originally from Ukraine, has finally achieved her most significant ambition. Natalie, now 38, crossed paths with Mike through shared acquaintances. During their engagement, the couple faced turmoil over accusations of infidelity on Mike’s part, leading Natalie to discard her engagement ring, yet she still moved to the U.S. on a K-1 visa. On the show 90 Day: The Single Life, Natalie initiated a relationship with Josh Weinstein. Despite this, Josh was reluctant to commit or start a family with her. Consequently, Natalie returned to Mike, only for him to decide to proceed with their divorce.
In a bid to advance her career, Natalie relocated from Sequim and eventually settled in California after meeting Josh. Her aspirations in Hollywood seem to be materializing, as she recently announced significant career developments on Instagram.
Natalie shared a selfie video from inside a theater, sitting beside a fellow actress. She appeared at ease in a white strappy cotton dress, her hair styled in a casual braid. The clip was captioned with “#actinglife,” and in her subsequent story, she revealed more about her activities. Holding a photocopy of the screenplay “Spike Heels” by Theresa Rebeck, Natalie offered fans a peek at the stage happenings, which included the cast and crew preparing for a restaurant scene. She reiterated her enthusiasm with the hashtag “#actinglife.”
Insights into Natalie’s Career Prior to 90 Day Fiancé
#### A Promising Start in Ukraine
Before her reality TV fame, Natalie had established herself as a model and actress in Kyiv. Although she studied journalism and psychology, her career veered into beauty pageants. She graced Ukrainian television screens, primarily in thriller and mystery genres, boasting participation in over ten films. Natalie even likened her future potential to that of Johnny Depp and appeared in the music video for Eden’s “Float.” Her claims of professional acting experience were indeed genuine.
However, Natalie realized her career prospects were limited while living in the secluded area with Mike. Reluctant to move to Seattle, Mike’s stance prompted Natalie to venture to Florida, where she met Josh. Despite efforts from Josh, who headed a modeling agency, to secure her work, Natalie faced age-related challenges in modeling. His cousin offered her a receptionist job interview, which she did not pass due to the lack of a résumé and inability to discuss her work history. Josh arranged a meeting with a producer, during which Natalie performed Shakespeare in Russian over dinner.
