Signs Elizabeth Potthast & Andrei Castravet Need To Return To The 90 Day Fiancé Franchise (They Have Major Updates)
Andrei Castravet and Elizabeth Potthast have experienced some new exciting developments in their relationship, leading to suggestions that they should return to the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. The couple was initially featured in 90 Day Fiancé season 5, during which Andrei moved to the United States to marry Elizabeth. However, their path to the altar wasn't without its challenges. Elizabeth's family members were skeptical of Andrei's true intentions to marry her, and he struggled to earn their respect. Despite a few obstacles, the couple ultimately tied the knot in December 2017.
Problems in Andrei and Elizabeth's relationship escalated after their wedding. They faced financial challenges and lived in an apartment owned by Elizabeth's father, Chuck Potthast, without paying rent. The couple was accused of taking advantage of Chuck's generosity when they unexpectedly became pregnant in May 2018. Chuck criticized Andrei and Elizabeth for being irresponsible in starting a family before they could support themselves. He was frustrated with their lack of planning, as he then felt responsible for providing for three people. Despite their financial struggles, Andrei and Elizabeth were overjoyed to welcome their first child, Eleanor, on January 23, 2019.

Over the past seven years, Andrei and Elizabeth have been featured in different spin-offs, documenting the highs and lows of their relationship. However, a major source of conflict in their marriage has been Andrei's aggressive attitude. Originally from Moldova, one of the poorest countries in Europe, Andrei came to the United States with hopes of achieving the American dream. In pursuit of his dream, he isn't afraid to be demanding and disrespectful when things don't go this way. Throughout the seasons, Andrei has shown disrespect and passive aggression towards his wife and even her family for not complying with his demands.

Andrei has often sworn at Elizabeth during their heated arguments, showing great disrespect towards her.
While Elizabeth has brushed off concerns by saying that her husband is just being alpha, many viewers have felt uneasy watching Andrei criticize his wife in front of cameras and her family members. One time, when the couple was in Moldova, Andrei told Elizabeth to "listen double," suggesting she should talk less and listen more while in his home country surrounded by his people. Andrei also publicly referred to Elizabeth's sisters as "snakes" for assisting her in hiring a babysitter.
Andrei Is Now A U.S. Citizen
Although Elizabeth and Andrei aren't perfect, they have been together for years, showing their unwavering commitment to each other. While some fans may believe that the Moldova native used Elizabeth to come to the United States to escape his troubled past, he has proven his loyalty to his wife and has built a family with her. In July 2024, Andrei finally became an American citizen after facing deportation threats. He posted a video on Instagram with his immigration lawyer, announcing, "today marks a new chapter in my life, I'm an US Citizen!"
Now that Andrei is an American citizen, it would be interesting to see if his relationship dynamic with Elizabeth changes.
Since he has been previously accused of being a master manipulator, his return to the franchise could reveal his true intentions for marrying Elizabeth. If the couple shows signs of their trouble in their marriage and Andrei hints at leaving his wife, it will become clear if he had ulterior motives for marrying her. Therefore, the 90 Day Fiancé producers should give the couple a chance to return and document the latest developments in their marriage.
