Andrei Castravet often mistreated his wife, Libby Potthast, in the past on 90 Day Fiancé, leading to questions about whether he took advantage of her to move to the United States. The couple met on a dating app while Libby was vacationing in Dublin, Ireland. After meeting in person, they fell in lobe, and Libby applied for Andrei’s K-1 visa to get married in America. However, the couple’s journey towards marriage wasn’t without difficulties, as Libby’s family suspected Andrei of having ulterior motives. Despite her family’s doubts, Libby and Andrei got married in 2017.

In the following years, they welcomed their first child, daughter Eleanor Castravet. This further heightened concerns within Libby’s family about Andrei, as he became a stay-at-home father instead of finding a job. Libby and Andrei had several heated arguments due to his inability to provide for the family. Despite this, they remained together, and he eventually obtained his real estate agent license in Florida. Andrei has made progress in his career and even started a new online marketing business in recent years. In October 2022, Andrei and Libby welcomed their second child, son Winston Castravet.

Andrei Got American Citizenship Because Of Libby

Andrei Became A U.S. Citizen In July 2024

Andrei and Libby met on Tinder. Libby was looking for friends before her trip to Ireland when she found Andrei, who had moved to Dublin to work as a bouncer because his home country, Moldova, lacks better job opportunities and is the second-poorest country in Europe. After getting to know each other through video calls, Andrei and Libby finally met in person in Dublin. Their trip together was successful, and they got engaged during their next trip to Sicily. In 2017, Andrei moved to the United States on a K-1 visa to marry Libby.

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.

Andrei was able to win Libby’s heart in Dublin; however, his love for her was rarely shown on screen.

Andrei always seemed more interested in building a future in the United States than in valuing a strong bond with his wife. His disrespectful behavior towards Libby on the show suggests he may have used her kindness to secure his future. Before his immigration visa interview, he got angry at her just for fixing his tie, showing that the success of his interview was much more important to him than being respectful towards her.

Andrei Asked Libby’s Family For Money & A Job

Andrei Asked His Father-In-Law For A $100K Loan

While Andrei has earned Libby’s love and trust, he has failed to gain the respect of her family members. Over the years, he has been accused of taking advantage of her family’s financial success to advance his career. In 2020, Andrei pressured Libby to ask her father, Chuck Potthast, to pay for their second wedding in Moldova. He acted entitled, insisting on a lavish wedding in his home country and stating that Chuck should pay without hesitation because he had done the same for his other children.

Andrei put Libby in a stressful situation and didn’t even thank her when Chuck eventually paid for their dream wedding in Moldova. A year later, in 2021, the 90 Day Fiancé alum reached out to Chuck directly to ask him to start his new business. Despite their previous strained relationship, Andrei didn’t hesitate to ask Chuck for a $100k loan to start his own house-flipping business. Chuck thought Andrei was unrealistic in asking him for such a large loan and denied his request. However, he offered Andrei a job in the family business.

Andrei Has Been Mean To Libby

Andrei Swears At His Wife

Although Andrei and Libby have been together for over seven years, it doesn’t seem like they have the best relationship. Unfortunately, Andrei is considered a poor husband in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, given his controlling and disrespectful behavior towards his wife. Over the years, viewers have seen Andrei act aggressively, while Libby perceives him as a protective alpha man. He has sworn at her in his native language and displayed aggressive body language, raising concerns that he may be abusive. On one occasion, he infamously asked her to “listen double” in Moldova, implying she should listen more than speak.

90 Day Fiancé: Andrei Called Out Cowardly Trolls Amid American Citizenship Milestone (Signs He & Libby Can’t Take Constructive Criticism)

90 Day Fiancé’s Andrei Castravet is now a proud American citizen, further fueling his already arrogant demeanor with added layers of overconfidence.

While it’s undeniable Andrei loves Libby, his lack of respect for her is evident in different 90 Day Fiancé spin-offs. There is a chance he only married her to gain entry to America, viewing her as the simplest and quickest route to the United States. Even after Andrei became an American citizen in July, he didn’t express gratitude towards his wife for her support during the difficult process. Instead, he simply thanked his immigration lawyer for her support and wrote, “God Bless America.”

Andrei May Have Used Libby To Escape Shady Past In Moldova

Andrei Didn’t Want To Work In A Corrupt System

During the show, Andrei mentioned he had worked as an investigator in his home country, Moldova. However, he had to leave because he didn’t want to be a part of the corrupt police system. Andrei flew to Ireland, where he started working two jobs while still looking for a permanent home. It was then he met Libby on Tinder, which could have been an answer to his prayers. He possibly started a romantic relationship with an American woman to obtain a green card and United States citizenship, distancing himself from his past.

Since Andrei has always been secretive about his past life in Moldova and avoids visiting the country frequently, there is a possibility that he is trying to conceal his history. While Andrei may have initially viewed Libby as his golden ticket to America, his dedication to his family suggests he is truly committed to her. He bought a house with Libby, and they welcomed two children together, showing his loyalty. If the 90 Day Fiancé alum were using Libby, he wouldn’t have had two children with her and would have left her.
