Sarper’s Mixed Feelings: Was Dating Shekinah Worth the Stress?
Ah, the tangled web of reality TV romance! In a recent tête-à-tête with PEOPLE Magazine, Sarper, a star of the infamous “90 Day Fiancé,” took a deep dive into the murky waters of his relationship with Shekinah. Fresh from receiving his K-1 visa and making the leap from Turkey to the United States, Sarper finds himself in a state of contemplative turmoil. He candidly admits, “If I had a chance to go back two years ago, would I swipe right on Bumble? I don’t know. Probably.” Well, that’s a ringing endorsement, isn’t it?
Sarper reflects on his life before Shekinah—an existence of supposed peace and chaos-free living, which he describes as a “happiness level of four, five, six.” But let’s be real: who wouldn’t want to spice things up with a little emotional rollercoaster? Shekinah, ever the realist, chimes in, asserting that Sarper’s life was anything but peaceful. “Your life was not peaceful. It was very chaotic, babe,” she retorts, serving a much-needed dose of reality.
The couple’s dynamic is as intriguing as it is tumultuous. Sarper, who once wore his “bad boy” persona like a badge of honor, seems to have undergone a transformation since meeting Shekinah. He admits that his self-centered mindset has shifted; now, he sees her problems as his own. “If she has happiness, I am more happy than her,” he says, which is a rather touching sentiment—if not slightly melodramatic.
But herein lies the rub: while Sarper grapples with the added stress of their relationship, Shekinah argues the emotional chaos might just be worth it. After all, isn’t love supposed to be a wild ride? The couple’s relationship has become a focal point of discussion among fans, especially as the franchise has gained notoriety for showcasing the complexities of international love and the cultural nuances that accompany it.
As their saga unfolds on Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on TLC, viewers are left to ponder whether the stress truly outweighs the love—or if Sarper’s nostalgia for his “peaceful” past is just a fleeting fantasy. In the grand narrative of reality TV, where love often dances hand-in-hand with drama, one can’t help but wonder: is Sarper truly ready to embrace the chaos, or is he merely caught in a whirlwind of regret?
