5 Shocking Truths About Shekinah And Sarper's Marriage: Are They Still Together In 2025?
The relationship between 90 Day Fiancé stars Shekinah Garner and Sarper Guven has been one of the franchise's most tumultuous, defined by extreme makeovers, controlling behavior, and explosive arguments. As of December 2025, the couple is officially married and, despite all the on-screen and Tell-All drama, they are still together. However, their journey post-nuptials has been anything but a fairytale, with a major relationship crisis hitting just weeks after their wedding, leading to a shocking and immediate separation that fans are only now getting the full details on.
The latest updates from early 2025 confirm that the Los Angeles-based aesthetician and the Turkish fitness model are actively working through their significant marital issues, which stem from a dramatic shift in their power dynamic following Sarper's K-1 visa move to the United States. The initial electric connection that brought them together was quickly overshadowed by intense fights, feelings of depression, and a complete lack of control, proving that their high-maintenance romance continues to be a high-stakes gamble.

The Shocking Post-Wedding Kick-Out Drama and Marital Crisis
While the goal of their journey—marriage—was achieved, the reality of living together in the United States proved to be instantly challenging. At the Season 11 Tell-All, the couple dropped a bombshell: their marriage had hit a significant roadblock less than a month after their wedding.
Sarper Was Kicked Out of Their Shared Home
In a dramatic confession, Sarper revealed that Shekinah had kicked him out of their shared Los Angeles apartment just weeks after they exchanged vows. The incident was so severe that Sarper was filmed without his wedding ring, having left it behind on a table when he was forced to leave.
The cause of the sudden marital crisis was rooted in the couple's volatile communication style and a profound shift in their relationship dynamic. Sarper explained that a series of "small" arguments quickly escalated, leading him to "explode" with anger. He admitted that his short fuse and inability to remain calm were major factors in the breakup.
The Battle for Control and Depression
The core of the issue was Sarper’s struggle with feeling a lack of control after moving to America on the K-1 visa. In Turkey, Sarper was the dominant figure, but in the US, he became dependent on Shekinah, who had established "strict house rules." He confessed to feeling "depressed" and resentful of the new dynamic, where he felt he could no longer control things.
Shekinah, on the other hand, felt that Sarper had changed after they got married, becoming more difficult to live with. The pressure of the K-1 visa process, coupled with the clash of their strong personalities, created a toxic environment that erupted shortly after their wedding.
Plastic Surgery, Controlling Rules, and The Path to Reconciliation
Shekinah and Sarper’s relationship has always been tied to controversial topics, from Sarper’s past as an exotic dancer to their shared obsession with physical perfection. These elements continue to define their story as they work to save their marriage in 2025.
Sarper’s Role in Shekinah’s Aesthetic Procedures
A major plot point in their storyline was Shekinah’s decision to get a rhinoplasty (nose job) in Turkey—a procedure that Sarper controversially "designed" for her. This raised significant red flags for viewers and Shekinah’s family, who saw it as an extreme example of Sarper's controlling influence over her appearance.
Beyond the rhinoplasty, Shekinah has also discussed getting a facelift, with online discussions also mentioning procedures like buccal fat removal, highlighting the couple's mutual focus on maintaining a highly sculpted, aesthetic look. Sarper was also known to make comments about Shekinah's weight, adding to the perception of a controlling relationship dynamic.
Working Towards a Future in 2025
Despite the severe issues, including the post-wedding separation and Sarper’s admission that he "hates" the feeling of their marriage dynamic, the couple has shown a commitment to reconciliation. Recent social media updates and news from early 2025 confirm they are still together and actively trying to work on their relationship.
Their joint trip to Utah, shared on social media, was a clear sign that they are not giving up on each other and are committed to tackling the deep-seated issues around control and communication that plagued them after Sarper's move to the US. While their future remains uncertain, the latest information indicates that Shekinah and Sarper are determined to make their high-drama, high-stakes marriage work.
