Yara responds to Jovi’s comments on her appearance

Yara and Jovi met in Budapest in 2018 and were married in 2020 in Las Vegas at a wedding officiated by an Elvis Presley impersonator.

The couple has a daughter, Mylah, who recently turned five years old. Jovi acknowledged her birthday on Instagram on September 3, 2025, highlighting Mylah’s "joy and happiness" in their life.

In one episode, Yara addressed Jovi’s remarks regarding her appearance in her younger years. She told the cameras that she was upset by what she perceived as critical comments from her husband.

Jovi clarified that he never called his wife "ugly" when she was younger and added that he did not intend to offend her. Yara stated,

“I don’t want to get grilled for something I didn’t even mean to say,” highlighting her emotional response.

The couple’s friends, Loren Brovarnik and Andrei Castravet, also discussed the situation, with Loren suggesting that Jovi’s comments may be linked to his own insecurities, a view Andrei supported.

Disclosure of bedroom life challenges

Yara discussed her personal coping mechanisms and her priorities outside of intimacy. During a girls’ outing, she described her interest in shopping and mentioned that due to her situation with Jovi, she plans to buy "a lot."

While addressing her marital intimacy, she explained that they are not currently sexually active. She said,

“Me and Jovi are going through this dry spell."

Yara also remarked on the contrast between her social circle and her own experiences, noting that she has "no Rolex and no sexual activity," reflecting her current perspective on her bedroom life.

Jovi has made attempts to reconnect, including flirting with Yara in previous episodes, but the couple continues to face difficulties.

In the September 28 episode, Yara and Jovi joined Loren and Alexei Brovarnik for a double date that included a game of “Never Have I Ever” and a review of old photos.

During the conversation, Jovi commented on Yara’s teenage photos, describing her appearance as "unrecognizable." Yara responded by suggesting he should get his own room, indicating the emotional effect of the remarks.

In a confessional interview, she explained, “It’s just really hurtful that you would bring it up, Jovi. You should know better.” Jovi clarified his perspective, saying,

“I mean, Yara, you were a kid. I said you look different now than you looked in the past. I mean, it’s no secret. You had some work done. The truth is the truth and that’s it. I don’t think it’s that bad.”
