Tania Maduro and Syngin Colchester are at a crossroads in their marriage in season five of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? The personal differences between them have started causing more and more tension in their relationship to the point where both of them have expressed doubts about staying together. But overall, fans say there’s one moment that seemed to change Tania and Syngin’s relationship for the absolute worse. Here’s a look back at their romance and the problems they’re having on the show.
There were problems in Tania Maduro and Syngin Colchester’s relationship early on
Tania and Syngin began dating after meeting when Tania was on a trip to Syngin’s native South Africa. She chose to stay in the country with him and lived there for a few months before they got engaged and moved to the United States together.
Throughout their relationship, Tania and Syngin have struggled to see eye-to-eye on many things. But things peaked in season seven of 90 Day Fiancé when Tania told Syngin she didn’t think he was her soulmate. She believed that person was her first love but noted she did not want to be with them.
Tania’s confession left Syngin visibly hurt, especially because he had moved his entire life to be with her. But he tried to accept her position after she consoled him and assured him that she still loved and wanted to be with him. They went on to marry in a romantic ceremony that was featured in the season finale.
Tania Maduro and Syngin Colchester keep clashing on the show
Over the past few episodes of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? Tania and Syngin have been back in his home country. They had one of their first major clashes at a barbecue with Syngin’s family when he opened up about being homesick and feeling like he was “missing out on life living in America.”
Tania quickly became frustrated and reminded Syngin that moving to South Africa together was not an option because she didn’t want to raise kids there due to racism and poverty in the country. He shot back by telling Tania he had never agreed to start a family with her. The conversation grew increasingly heated as they went back and forth over their future, until Tania got up and walked away from the table.
Tania Maduro and Syngin Colchester’s relationship changed after the “soulmate” comment, according to fans
