90 Day Fiancé's Shekinah Garner with a stunned expression

Shekinah Garner recently exited 90 Day Fiancé season 11, and it’s time for an update on her current life as a behind-the-scenes feud is taking place. Shekinah debuted in the franchise in 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 5, when she moved to Turkey to pursue her relationship with Sarper Güven.

The pair’s journey was followed once more in The Other Way season 6, before Sarper moved to America on the K-1 visa and married Shekinah in 90 Day Fiancé season 11.

Shekinah and Sarper, both in their mid-forties, have carved themselves out as a unique couple in the franchise, and they’ve drummed up a lot of interest. Currently, Happily Ever After? season 9 is airing, and Shekinah and Sarper are absent from the spinoff, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they are done with the network for good.

Shekinah & Sarper’s 90 Day Fiancé Journey

From Turkey To America

When Shekinah moved to Turkey in The Other Way season 5, she had planned to return home every other month to meet up with her daughter, who was in boarding school in California. Shekinah and Sarper met on a dating app and fell in love. Sarper notoriously had slept with over 2,500 women before he met Shekinah, but was ready to drop his “bad boy” behavior in favor of settling down.

However, Shekinah and Sarper had several major communication breakdowns, and one of their fights even turned physical when Sarper ripped out one of Shekinah’s extensions out. Moreover, Sarper made a terrible impression on Shekinah’s sister, Shariyah, saying that Shekinah acted like a “s**t.”

Despite their glaring relationship red flags, Shekinah and Sarper have always maintained how much they love each other. Over the last few years, it has been revealed that Sarper has a child from a previous relationship that he does not see, that he wants another child while Shekinah does not, and that Sarper has been married before, although he said he never loved his ex.

Sarper and Shekinah had 90 Day Fiancé’s first-ever “bedding,” and although Sarper was getting cold feet, he went through with the marriage. Shekinah got approval from her daughter to marry Sarper as well.

When Shekinah and Sarper arrived at the 90 Day Fiancé season 11 Tell All, they were not in a good place. Their time spent married was marked by frequent arguments and emotional struggles, with Shekinah feeling unsupported and Sarper feeling like Shekinah was making him crazy.

Sarper said he moved out of Shekinah’s place for 10 days, that they had a tense Christmas, and that they weren’t in a good place. The only thing going for them was their sex life, although they spent the night before the Tell All apart.

However, at the Tell All, Shekinah complained that she never got a wedding ring and band from Sarper. But he surprised Shekinah by delivering both. They had several fights during the Tell All, but the ring quieted things down.

Online, Shekinah has shared several cryptic Instagram Stories related to what seems like a breakup, but the truth remains dubious. Last month, Sarper and SHekinah were spotted at the airport in Miami with Sarper’s parents, which means the pair are still trying to make things work.

Amani Feels Wronged By Shekinah

Besides her relationship with Sarper, Shekinah has been feuding with her 90 Day Fiancé season 11 co-star, Amani Jlassi. Amani had pre-warned Shekinah via Instagram DM that she was sorry for whatever she was going to say about Shekinah. At the Tell All, Shekinah had an attitude towards Amani, and criticized Amani’s new plastic surgery reasoning.

Amani also called Shekinah out for asking her privately if her throuple girlfriend, Any Aguirre, was trans. Amani accused Shekinah of being “fake” and “calculated” regarding her plastic surgery and social media behavior, while Shekinah said Amani’s criticisms were projections fueled by jealousy and a need for attention.
