’90 Day Fiancé’ Stars Elizabeth & Andrei’s Announcement Creates a Stir

Elizabeth Potthast and Andrei Castravet‘s relationship hit a major bump during their recent trip to Moldova when miscommunication led to an unexpected public announcement. The couple, who have been married for eight years and share two children, found themselves at odds over their future plans in a dramatic scene that unfolded on the latest episode of “90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After.”

The tension began when Andrei organized a lavish party for friends and family in his home country, similar to the elaborate wedding celebration they had years ago. During the gathering, he addressed the crowd in Romanian, making what he believed was a shared decision about their family’s future.

According to a recent preview clip, Andrei announced to his loved ones that he and Elizabeth would be permanently relocating to Moldova with their children. However, Elizabeth was completely unaware of what her husband was telling the group due to the language barrier.

“I’m not fluent in Romanian yet. I’m very limited in my vocabulary so some things get lost in translation, and this is actually one of those moments,” Elizabeth revealed in a confessional. “I feel kind of stupid because I don’t know what’s going on.”

The situation became even more complicated when Andrei surprised everyone with an elaborate fireworks display, further celebrating what he considered their permanent move, while Elizabeth remained confused about the evening’s events.

Communication Breakdown

The incident highlights ongoing communication issues between the couple that have affected their relationship throughout their time on the show. Elizabeth’s limited understanding of Romanian has created barriers in situations where important decisions are being discussed or announced.

Elizabeth appeared confused and stunned by Andrei’s announcement, later stating, “I don’t know what the [expletive] I’m doing here, honestly.” This reaction suggests the couple hadn’t reached a mutual agreement about making Moldova their permanent home.

Some fans felt that Elizabeth’s reaction to various aspects of their Moldova experience felt disconnected from reality, including her complaints about sharing one bathroom with six people. Many thought her overall response to the trip seemed like she was acting for the cameras rather than dealing with genuine everyday problems.

The miscommunication reveals deeper issues about how the couple makes decisions together. While Andrei apparently believed Elizabeth had agreed to the permanent move, her reaction indicates they may have been discussing the trip differently.

Friends Express Concerns

Before their departure to Moldova, Elizabeth discussed her potential move with friends Loren Brovarnik and Yara Zaya, who both expressed reservations about the plan. Their concerns extended beyond personal preferences to include practical considerations about the current global situation.

During their conversation, Yara couldn’t hide her surprise, asking, “Why the [expletive] would you move to Moldova?” Elizabeth explained that they hadn’t made the decision hastily, stressing that she wanted to explore the possibilities that Moldova might offer for their family.

Some critics question whether this storyline is genuine, suggesting the couple created it specifically to maintain their place on the show, and doubt whether they are genuinely considering a permanent move.

Despite her friends’ concerns, Elizabeth had expressed openness to Andrei’s suggestion about building a future in his homeland. She mentioned wanting to find suitable schools for their children and explore the opportunities available in the country.

According to The Sun, the couple currently owns property in Florida, having purchased land in Zephyrhills for $397,900 in 2021, where they built a two-story home with four bedrooms and four bathrooms.

Season 9 of “90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?“ airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EDT on TLC.
