Sarper Hits Back at Shekinah’s Daughter Warning: “It’s Not Fair!”

Buckle up, ’90 Day Fiancé’ fans! The drama is heating up as reality stars Shekinah Garner and Sarper Güven prepare for the next chapter of their tumultuous relationship. In a sneak peek of the March 2 episode, we see Sarper gearing up to meet Shekinah’s daughter, Sophie, for the very first time after his K-1 visa approval. And let’s just say, the pressure is on!
Shekinah is clearly anxious about how the meeting will go, reminding Sarper that Sophie’s opinion matters immensely—let’s face it, if the daughter’s not on board, the wedding plans may just go up in smoke! Sarper’s reaction? Well, he seems less than thrilled, treating her legitimate concerns with a pinch of flippancy. “If she doesn’t like me, it will be a touristic travel for me and I will come back,” he quips. Oof. Talk about raising the stakes!
Amidst his cavalier attitude, he also confesses that the pressure of this relationship “fate” resting on Sophie’s teenage shoulders doesn’t sit well with him. Plus, can we talk about how Sarper casually calls himself an “a–hole” yet insists he’s “cute”? Authenticity, folks. This dude is giving us a personality to remember for better or worse.
The whole scenario brings to light the age-old reality TV question: How much say should children have in a parent’s love life? According to a survey from the Pew Research Center, over 65% of parents think their children’s approval is important in their relationship decisions. But Sarper seems to think it’s not fair for his marital fate to be dictated by a teen’s opinion, and honestly, it’s a relatable sentiment.
This episode promises to be a wild ride as viewers watch Sarper try to navigate these tricky waters. Will he charm Sophie, or will she send him packing? One thing’s for sure: this meeting is going to be anything but boring. Keep your remotes close, because ‘90 Day Fiancé’ airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on TLC, and it looks to be a must-watch!
