Mike Youngquist from 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? looks happy in his most recent picture, in which he acts as a father figure to his girlfriend, Sara Rose’s dog. The Washington native debuted in 90 Day Fiancé season 7 with Natalie Mordovtseva, documenting their tumultuous relationship. Despite their strained connection, the couple tied the knot on April 15, 2020. Unfortunately, their marriage was short-lived as Natalie abruptly left Mike to live in Florida. The Ukrainian native was last seen in 90 Day: The Single Life season 4, where she proposed having a baby with Mike, only to be rejected.

Mike had turned down Natalie’s idea of having a baby with him not once but twice at different times, but not because he didn’t see himself as a father figure.

In fact, he is thrilled to be a dad to his girlfriend, Sara’s female dog. Sara recently shared an adorable picture of the 90 Day Fiancé alum showing affection for their dog. She captioned the sweet moment as “she’s obsessed with her dad lol,” along with a smiling face with a heart emoji. In the picture, Mike is seen looking lovingly at the dog while standing outside the vehicle, with the dog looking back at him from the window.

What Does Mike Becoming A Dog Parent Mean?

Natalie may feel disheartened upon seeing Sara referring to Mike as a “dad” to her dog. It’s likely difficult for Natalie because she was rejected by Mike twice. Even before Natalie and Mike married, she suggested they start planning their family. However, Mike explained that while he did want to have children with Natalie soon, he wanted to establish themselves as a couple in the United States before taking on such a big responsibility. Unfortunately, as 90 Day Fiancé viewers may know, Natalie and Mike didn’t even last six months as a married couple before splitting up.

Mike seemed really hesitant about starting a family with Natalie, but he didn’t seem as anxious about being a parental figure to Sara’s dog.

He is comfortable with Sara calling him a dog “dad” publicly. The reality star has been in a relationship with his girlfriend for about two years and seems madly in love with her. Despite not having officially gotten engaged, the couple seems to view each other as lifelong partners. They may not have tied the knot or have a child together yet, but they have already formed a family of three with their furry baby.

When Mike first joined the show, he was prepared to embrace fatherhood. However, his turbulent relationship with Natalie took a toll on his mental health, causing him to put his dreams of being a parent on hold. Gradually, he’s beginning to reconsider the idea of starting a family. Mike and Sara have already taken the first step by welcoming a dog into their home. With their relationship progressing positively, they may soon get married and have a baby. Hopefully, the 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? alum will soon fulfill his dream of becoming a father.
