She was the first real love I\u2019ve ever had in my life, and that\u2019s exactly why this still hurts. But there is one thing I\u2019m sure about: we simply couldn\u2019t make it work anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sarper added that he and Shekinah, 43, did their \u201cbest\u201d to make the relationship work after navigating a long-distance dynamic from when they met in 2022 until late 2024, when Sarper moved to the U.S. on a K-1 visa.<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-related article link-related__with-thumb\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"article__thumbnail related-ab-test\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/90-day-fiances-shekinah-sarper-is-done-with-threesome-fantasies\/\" target=\"\" data-source=\"00\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"article__figure\">\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%;\" class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\"><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"article__content\">\n<h3 class=\"article__title\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"article__title-link related-ab-test\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/90-day-fiances-shekinah-sarper-is-done-with-threesome-fantasies\/\" target=\"\" data-source=\"00\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n    <span class=\"related-badge\">Related: <\/span><span class=\"related-title\">90 Day Fiance&#8217;s Shekinah Says Sarper Is &#8216;Done With Threesome Fantasies&#8217;<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t90 Day Fianc\u00e9\u2019s Sarper G\u00fcven has had a change of heart about a bedroom possibility. \u201cSarper no longer wants a threesome,\u201d Shekinah G\u00fcven exclusively shared with Us Weekly at the 10th anniversary event of \u201cJuicy Scoop with Heather McDonald\u201d on June 25. \u201cHe\u2019s done with threesome fantasies.

Whatever happened between us happened, and I don\u2019t want to turn four years of memories into an online war.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sarper and Shekinah appeared on <em>90 Day: The Last Resort<\/em> season 3 in an attempt to save their relationship.

It wasn\u2019t strength, it was cowardly, destructive, humiliating, deceptive, and above all a deep betrayal,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI learned last night that you only recommitted that day because you felt pity for me, and you did this speech while simultaneously planning to leave me later. The Last Resort was a promo for your comedy career, not an attempt to save our marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She concluded, \u201cThe deepest wounds don\u2019t come from enemies, they come from the ones who promised to protect your heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sarper denied his ex\u2019s claims in his post on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do want to make one thing clear. Despite what she has claimed, I never chose fame or money over her,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI wish we could have found peace together. I wish I could have shared everything I have with her and built the simple life we once imagined.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sarper also clarified the timeline of their split, noting, \u201cTo make it clear, we have been separated for at least eight months since the beginning of 2026, and neither of us sees ourselves as married anymore. In my heart and in my mind, I am SINGLE now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cUntil I reached that point, I was 100 percent loyal to her. But when I finally took off my ring and, as painful as it was, took her out of that place in my heart, I started living my life as a SINGLE person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Writing to his and Sarper\u2019s fans, he added, \u201cI know some of you will be upset. Some of you believed in us and supported our relationship from the beginning. But this is life, guys. We are not the first couple going separate ways.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-narrow.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-narrow\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-wide.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-wide\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Sarper concluded, \u201cWhen I see our old pictures or watch our clips on TV, it still hurts. Because the SHEKINAH I knew during those first two years, before coming to the U.S., will always have an irreplaceable place in my memories. There was real love there. There were real memories. And despite how it ended, I will never pretend those years meant nothing to me. I truly wish her the best in her life.
