The Shocking 2025 Relationship Status: 7 Major Updates

Despite the drama and cultural differences, Shekinah and Sarper surprised many fans by not only staying together but also moving forward with a commitment ceremony. However, the period immediately following their on-screen commitment has been riddled with conflict, leading to a fresh wave of divorce speculation.

1. The Unconventional 'Bedding' Ceremony is Confirmed

In a move that perfectly encapsulated their unique and often theatrical relationship, Shekinah and Sarper officially tied the knot in a highly unconventional manner. They opted to skip the traditional wedding aisle for a "bedding" ceremony, which took place on November 11, 2024. This ceremony, which was shown to fans, involved the couple celebrating their union in a bed, symbolizing their intimate and passionate connection.

2. Divorce Rumors Surfaced Immediately After the Wedding

Despite the "bedding," the fairytale quickly dissolved. Reports and social media activity in early 2025 indicated that the marriage was already falling apart. At the *90 Day Fiancé* Tell All, the couple shockingly admitted to having "problems" and even hinted at a potential divorce, causing a major stir among the cast and fans.

3. Sarper's Stand-Up Comedy Career is the Major Conflict Driver

The primary source of the marital strain is Sarper's new, burgeoning career as a stand-up comedian in the United States. Sources suggest that Sarper has chosen to prioritize his stand-up comedy tour and performances—which he has been pursuing across the US, including in locations like San Francisco and Charlotte—over his relationship with Shekinah. This new venture has reportedly taken him away from home, leaving Shekinah feeling neglected and causing major friction.

4. Shekinah's 'Biggest Fear' Came True

Shekinah revealed that her "biggest fear" had materialized following their marriage. Her concern was that the dynamic of their relationship would drastically change once they were officially committed, and the sudden shift in Sarper's focus to his new career seems to have validated those fears, leaving her questioning their future together.

5. A Gesture of Hope: The Ring and Reconnection

Amidst the divorce whispers, there was a sign of hope. At the Tell All, Shekinah mentioned that Sarper had given her a ring as a gesture of his desire to "reconnect." Shekinah viewed this as a positive sign, indicating that Sarper was still invested in patching things up and fighting for their marriage despite the intense strain.

6. The Ongoing 'Perfection' and Plastic Surgery Discussion

A running theme of their appearance was the couple's obsession with "perfection" and their openness about plastic surgery. Sarper was often criticized for pressuring Shekinah to maintain a certain look, though they both defended their choices, emphasizing the importance of transparency regarding their cosmetic procedures. This entity remains a core part of their public identity and a major LSI keyword for their storyline.

7. Shekinah Continues to Build Her Los Angeles Aesthetics Empire

While the relationship drama unfolds, Shekinah remains focused on her successful professional life. She is a highly experienced, licensed aesthetician, operating her business, Fluorescent Skin LA, in Los Angeles. Shekinah's business, which offers bespoke facial treatments and custom skincare regimen planning, provides a stable foundation for her life, regardless of her marital status. She has been open about her humble beginnings, even discussing her cramped home where she conducts some services, showing her dedication to her aesthetician career.

The Future of Shekinah and Sarper: Will They Last?

The current status of Shekinah and Sarper is a precarious balance between a significant commitment—the "bedding" ceremony—and immediate, intense conflict over career priorities. Sarper's move to the US and his rapid pivot to stand-up comedy was meant to be a new chapter, but it has seemingly created a new obstacle that is proving to be more challenging than any cultural difference or past relationship history. Fans are divided: some believe the couple's dramatic flair means the divorce rumors are simply a bid for more attention and a future spot on the franchise, while others see the conflict over Sarper's stand-up career as a genuine and serious threat to their union. The fact that they are publicly wrestling with these issues in late 2025, so soon after their ceremony, suggests their journey is far from over, and a potential return to the screen for a relationship update is highly likely. The true test will be whether Sarper can balance his passion for comedy with the commitment he made to Shekinah and their life in Los Angeles.
