90 Day Fiancé season 11, but the embattled couple hasn’t called it quits just yet. Shekinah and Sarper have experienced numerous ups and downs since they first appeared on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way. Shekinah had trouble grappling with Sarper’s playboy past, and they both struggled with trust issues. Their arguments often turned explosive and nasty. Their engagement seemed to turn over a new leaf, but even after Sarper moved to Los Angeles to begin his life with Shekinah, old patterns reemerged.

A recent fight that played out onscreen seemed like it could spell the end of their relationship, with Sarper threatening to abandon his K-1 visa and move back to Turkey. Although the couple made up the following episode, Shekinah dropped several hints on social media that she’d finally given up on repairing her broken relationship. However, signs remain that Sarper and Shekinah are still together, and given everything they’ve been through, it appears nothing will tear them apart.

While viewers anticipated either a breakup or a heart-to-heart reconciliation, they were left disappointed. Instead, Sarper and Shekinah repaired their relationship through physical intimacy.

She Discussed Their Problems Without Confirming A Split

As the couple’s onscreen drama played out, Shekinah shared her side of the story on social media. 90 Day Fiancé Update captured a screenshot from Shekinah’s Instagram Stories that went into detail about the indignities she’d suffered in her relationship. She mentioned “Feeling alone because your partner is always checked out” and “One sided effort at conflict resolution.”

90 Day Fiancé Breaking News shared a video of Shekinah explaining how much she had improved Sarper’s life since meeting him. She claimed Sarper used to have “the most toxic chaotic unhealthy life.”

While Shekinah said she’s given Sarper everything he could have wanted, he still struggles with taking responsibility.

She added, “I’m sorry but when you’re 45 years old you need to learn responsibility if you haven’t already.”

Shekinah hasn’t been shy about airing her and Sarper’s dirty laundry, hinting to 90 Day Fiancé viewers that she’s finally had enough. But at the same time, she stops short of confirming they are officially done. While it’s possible that Shekinah is being vague to avoid breaking the of her non-disclosure agreement, the simple solution would be to not comment on the situation at all. Shekinah’s purposely fanning the flames to make viewers think she was unable to resolve her issues with Sarper, but she never says outright that they broke up.

It Keeps Their Relationship Interesting

With all the chaos in Shekinah and Sarper’s relationship, they somehow seem to be stronger than ever. They’re allegedly married and living together in Los Angeles, which required Sarper to leave everything behind and Shekinah to make space for him in her own life. The most reasonable explanation is that they enjoy drama and seek it out in their relationship.

Sarper and Shekinah both seem to love being the center of attention. The pride and energy they each put into their appearance suggests they care deeply about what other people think. Their cycle of fighting and making up draws attention to their relationship, and they seem to thrive on that energy, whether it’s positive or negative. Despite alluding to a breakup, it’s possible that Sarper and Shekinah’s 90 Day Fiancé journey is far from over, and speculation about their relationship helps secure their future with the franchise.
