A 90 Day Fiancé success story may be an unsual thing on reality TV, but somehow Mike and Aziza Eloshway prove that it’s possible.
#90DayFiance: Are Matt and Aziza still together?
Mike and Aziza Eloshway of Season 1 of the hit TLC show, are happily married. The couple has been together for eight years, showing that reality TV romances do last at times.
However, moving from a platonic relationship into a romantic one wasn’t an easy task for Mike and his 90 Day Fiancé.
Mike, 31, technical support specialist at the Cleveland Municipal Court met Aziza, 21, a student from Volgograd, Russia on a language learning website in 2012. The site had paired the two together before they showed up on 90 Day Fiancé.
Ironically, Aziza admitted they used to be just friends and only developed romantic feelings after her work permit application in America was denied.
Mike got his Russian lover to America on a K-1 visa, but both his friends and 90 Day Fiancé fans were skeptical of Aziza using him for a green card. “We haven’t been intimate yet,” Aziza confessed during episode 1, and Mike too thought that it wasn’t a big deal. “I still don’t feel comfortable,” claimed Aziza, although the couple had been together for a year.
This part of their relationship created a stir, and Aziza maintained she would only want to start a family after getting settled in America.
The 90 Day Fiancé couple finally spent a night together after Aziza saw Mike talking to other girls. The pair were married by the end of the season with a long delighted life ahead of them.
On October 5, the 90 Day Fiancé couple will celebrate their eighth anniversary.
In January 2019, the Eloshways welcomed their first baby, Olivia Joan Eloshway, and took to Instagram to share the news.
Mike currently works as Network Analyst at Hitachi Healthcare Americas, whereas Aziza last worked at an optics lab.
Incredibly, all the other couples from Mike and Aziza’s season 1, including Louis and Aya Gattone, Alan and Kirlyam Cox, and Russ and Paola Mayfield, are still together.
