Honestly, if you've been following the chaotic orbit of Natalie Mordovtseva and Josh Weinstein for the last few years, you’re probably exhausted. It was a carousel. Round and round they went—California dreams, awkward modeling gigs, and Natalie’s mom, Nelia, essentially looming in the background like a disappointed ghost.
But as of January 2026, the ride is officially over. The "friends who kiss" label has been retired for good.
If you caught the second season of 90 Day: The Last Resort (which filmed way back in early 2024 but dragged its drama into 2025), you saw the final nail in the coffin. It wasn't just a breakup; it was a total meltdown. After three years of Natalie begging for a "title" and Josh dodging commitment like a professional athlete, they finally hit a wall that no amount of therapy could fix.
The Breaking Point at The Last Resort
The show was supposed to be their hail mary. Instead, it was a disaster.
The most shocking reveal came when it turned out Josh was apparently DM-ing Sophie Sierra behind Natalie’s back. You remember Sophie—the one from the UK with the blonde wigs? Yeah. Natalie found out Josh was making plans to party in Vegas with Sophie while he was supposedly "working" on things with her.
It was messy. Like, really messy.

The group therapy sessions were brutal. Josh basically gave Natalie an ultimatum: stop the screaming fits or you’re never meeting my family. Natalie, who has never been known for her poker face, looked like she’d been hit by a truck. In the final episode, while other couples were doing "syrup-licking" trust exercises (don't ask), Josh just flat-out refused to participate.
He didn't want to play. He didn't want the ring. He didn't even want the title of "boyfriend."
Why Natalie and Josh Never Stood a Chance
Looking back, the signs were there from that first Florida golf date. Natalie wanted a husband, a baby, and a lifestyle that felt like a Hollywood movie. Josh, the CEO of Preview Models, seemed more interested in the "CEO" title than the "husband" one.
Here is the reality of their dynamic:
- Distance and Disinterest: Even when Natalie moved to L.A. to be closer to him, Josh barely made time. He wouldn't even show her his house in Arizona. Red flag? More like a red skyscraper.
- The "Sugar Daddy" Accusations: During the Single Life Tell-Alls, the cast basically called Josh out for paying Natalie's rent while keeping her at arm's length. He hated the "sugar daddy" label, but he was bankrolling her life in California while she was unemployed and chasing an acting career that never quite launched.
- The Mike Factor: Natalie stayed married to Mike Youngquist for years after they split. Josh used this as a shield. "How can I commit to you if you're still married?" It was a valid point, but also a very convenient excuse for a guy who clearly didn't want to settle down.

Josh has moved on. He was spotted in early 2025 at an airport in Las Vegas with a mystery blonde, and later confirmed on podcasts that he is dating someone new. There were even rumors he was seeing someone else from the 90 Day universe—names like Jenn Potthast were tossed around—but Josh has kept the identity of his new flame mostly under wraps for the cameras.
Natalie, meanwhile, went on a total "soul reset" journey.
She spent a chunk of 2025 in the Dominican Republic. She wasn't there for a man, though; she was learning to surf and kite surf. It was a weirdly wholesome pivot for her. She posted about "reclaiming her soul" and looking for peace. People thought she might get deported after the Mike and Josh sagas ended, but she recently shut those rumors down.
She's back in California now. In April 2025, she actually told fans she got her "papers" years ago and is now a college student with her own LLC. She lives in Orange County, or at least that's where she was spotted at a DMV recently.
What about Mike?
The biggest twist? Mike Youngquist actually helped Natalie’s mother, Nelia, get a refugee visa to come to the U.S. despite everything Natalie did to him. Mike has a new girlfriend named Sara and seems genuinely happy, but he still played the "bigger person" role to ensure Nelia was safe from the conflict in Ukraine. Natalie and Mike are finally, legally, and spiritually done.

The Hard Truth About Reality TV Relationships
What most people get wrong about Natalie and Josh is thinking it was ever about "love."
For Josh, it often felt like a business transaction—exposure for his modeling agency and a storyline for the show. For Natalie, it was a desperate grab for the American Dream she thought she’d find in L.A.
If you're still holding out hope for them, stop. They’ve both "unfollowed" the drama. Natalie is focused on her mystery man "JS" (who she’s been teasing on Instagram) and her motherhood goals, while Josh is busy being a "traveling CEO."
Actionable Insights for the 90 Day Fandom:
- Check Social Media Timelines: Don't trust the TV edit. Natalie was posting about being single months before The Last Resort finale even aired.
- Immigration Status Matters: Natalie’s "deportation" was a major plot point, but her recent confirmation of having a Green Card proves much of that was played up for the cameras.
- The "Agency" Angle: Always look at the jobs. Josh’s involvement was always linked to his modeling business. When the business benefit ended, so did the relationship.
The Natalie and Josh era of 90 Day Fiance was a masterclass in "situationships." It’s a lesson in what happens when one person wants a family and the other just wants a co-star. If you want to keep up with Natalie's new life, keep an eye on her "college student" era—it’s bound to be just as theatrical.
