New mom Yara Zaya has been accused of promoting a materialistic lifestyle on social media, but 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? viewers find Yara to be far more likable in 90 Day Fiancé franchise content. Yara has worked hard to cultivate her social media to reflect her interest in material items, brand names, and glam fashion. However, her new mom struggle on Happily Ever After has been deemed refreshingly relatable.
Yara and her husband Jovi Dufren are currently experiencing relationship issues after the birth of their daughter Mylah. While Yara is exhausted as a new mom and always preoccupied with thoughts for her baby, Jovi misses when his wife used to be a party girl. The couple tried to regain their spark with a trip to Miami that included Jovi’s mother Gwen as a babysitter. After Yara fell asleep en route to a date night, she agreed to try something new and go to a strip club with Jovi. Though Yara initially enjoyed the experience, Jovi refused to leave when Yara voiced she was ready to go. This led to Yara slapping her husband and furiously storming out following Jovi lavishing one dancer with kisses, money, and attention.
While Yara is called out by viewers for her attitude, one fan took to Reddit to share a relatable line that Yara had delivered in the last episode. “I’ve never related more to Yara than when she said this,” the user captioned a still of Yara saying, “No, I always was a grandma inside, okay?” Following the strip club drama, many viewers are siding with Yara and slamming Jovi for his disrespectful behavior. Many viewers have blamed the entire situation on Jovi since he refused to respect Yara’s limitations, while Yara had been open to a new experience and communicated her limit. Fortunately, Jovi’s fan-favorite mother Gwen was on Yara’s side during the episode. “I love that Gwen is seeing that her son is the issue instead of blindly siding with him like most mothers do on this show,” one viewer wrote.
“I feel for Gwen. She is investing her time with Yara and the baby because she knows a solid family is healthy for her son. Unfortunately, [Jovi] is not mature enough to understand that the bachelor life is not sustainable in the long run, especially since he has a family now,” another fan wrote. They added that Jovi’s love for strip clubs might bring him temporary pleasure, but that he was not focused on long-term happiness with his family. Many viewers have defended Yara’s new mom stress and exhaustion and think it is perfectly normal that she is always worried about Mylah and focused on her baby. Viewers have questioned if Jovi is ready to be a father, as he is often jealous of the attention Yara devotes to their baby.
While Yara has been praised for her mothering skills, she has become polarizing in the franchise. As the Ukrainian beauty continues to see her followers rise, she has picked up a steady number of critics. Yara’s recent makeup line announcement has been met with criticism, as many fans have voiced that her online clothing boutique sells cheap clothing at steep prices. Therefore, many franchise viewers don’t have high hopes for the quality of her makeup products. Despite the criticism, Yara is seeing her popularity increase following her appearances on season 6 of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?
