‘90 Day Fiancé’ pair Mark and Nikki Shoemaker divorcing after 6 years

Reality TV

“90 Day Fiancé” stars Mark and Nikki Shoemaker are headed for divorce.

Mark, 64, filed paperwork to divorce Nikki, 25, on March 2 after nearly seven years of marriage, according to InTouch.

The outlet also reports that Mark filed to have the case sealed but a judge denied it.

Page Six has reached out to reps for the couple and TLC for comment.

The controversial couple appeared on the popular TLC series back in 2015 during its third season, alongside Alexei and Loren Brovarnik, Kyle and Noon Huckabee, Devar and Melanie Walters, Josh and Aleksandra Strobel, and Fernando and Carolina Verdini. 

While on the show, Mark was 58 while Nikki was only 19. Their 39-year age gap was one of the largest to ever be featured on the series.

Baltimore native Mark met Nikki online following his first divorce. In addition to their age difference, fans took notice of the fact that Nikki was from Cebu City in the Philippines, as was his first wife and the mother of his four adult children.

Mark proposed to the teen just two days after they spent time together in Nikki’s home country.

The couple often clashed over their age difference, and the fact that Nikki was two years younger than Mark’s youngest daughter Ellie.

After the season wrapped, the Shoemakers opted out of participating in any of the show’s several spin-offs, unlike several other couples. They filed a lawsuit against TLC and the show’s production company, Sharp Entertainment, in 2017 because of how they were depicted on the reality series.

A judge threw out the case in May of that same year.
