Inexperienced Mike Berk appeared to be out of Ximena Morales Cuellar’s league on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, but fans are changing their minds.
On 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, upon first introductions, inexperienced Mike Berk appeared to be out of Ximena Morales Cuellar’s league. However, fans are changing their minds as they watch the two strengthen their bond. This popular spin-off features potential couples who have found their love interests overseas. Fans and critics watch couples fall in love (or fall apart) as they work towards obtaining their K-1 visas.
Mike and Ximena first appeared in season 5 and viewers couldn’t help but question the validity of their relationship. 34-year-old Mike has had only had one relationship and has spent the better part of his life as a single man, living at home with his father and grandfather. 24-year-old Ximena lives in Colombia and has two kids under the age of ten. She doesn’t speak much English, but she drops bombshell after bombshell. Surprisingly, Mike continues to take the curveballs in stride and works on their relationship, and his attitude is endearing him to viewers.
Jumping Into A Stepfather Role
Raising kids is no easy feat, especially when they’re already nine and three years old. However, that hasn’t scared Mike. He was fully aware of Ximena’s situation with her two kids and he couldn’t be more excited to be a father. Upon meeting them, he showered them with gifts and affection. In fact, he’s clarified, on more than one occasion, that he intends to love and care for the kids as if they were his own.
Sacrificing The Chance For Biological Children
One reason Mike was comfortable becoming a stepfather is the fact that he has always wanted to be a father. While accepting step-kids is an admirable way to become a father, he still hopes to have his own children, preferably with Ximena. Unfortunately, she revealed some devastating news on the show. “I suffered a lot with my two deliveries because to have a child by Caesarean is the worst pain a mother could go through. So, I decided to get operated, and they cut my tubes and burned them, so that I definitely couldn’t have more kids.” Although Mike was clearly heartbroken at the prospect of never having children of his own, he stayed with Ximena and continued to strengthen their relationship.
Accepting Mind Blowing News Of Ximena’s Past
Ximena has not had a simple life, as she admits she’s had to endure extreme situations in the past. Ximena has a sordid dating history as she recounts her preference for “big men” like tattoo artists, drug dealers, and police officers. However, in the latest episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, Ximena dropped a bombshell that made Mike question not only his safety but that of Ximena and her children. She said, “I lived with a hitman. He ordered to have me killed.” Despite this shocking reality, Mike seems determined to work through it and propose by the end of the trip.
Overall, Mike might not appear to be the most handsome man or have good luck with the ladies, but he has a heart of gold. It takes a special person to walk into an existing family and make lifelong sacrifices for someone they’re only just beginning to fall in love with. 90DF’s Mike gives viewers hope as he makes it look easy. Fans and critics are looking forward to seeing where this leaves the couple during new episodes of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days.
