Jovi Dufren and Yara Zaya from 90 Day Fiancé decided to move to another state, but they were conflicted about leaving family members behind.

Louisiana native Jovi Dufren brought his Ukrainian fiance Yara Zaya to the US on 90 Day Fiancé Season 8, and they settled down with their daughter Mylah in a suburb of New Orleans.

When the couple returned to the franchise on 90 Day: The Last Resort, they discussed their plans to leave Louisiana.

However, Jovi’s mother Gwen Eymard was worried that she wouldn’t be able to see her granddaughter as often because of the distance.

Jovi and Yara said they were “worried” about what life would be like in Miami, and admitted that they will miss their family and the friends they made in Louisiana.

Although it was initially Yara’s idea to move out of state because she felt lonely and unhappy, fans can see that Jovi also got on board and made a big decision for the sake of his family.
