Loren is still feeling the consequences of her decision to go through a “mommy makeover” after giving birth to three children as far as her relationship with Alexei is concerned. On Sunday’s episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?Loren opened up about her and Loren’s sex life since the surgery and also ended up dropping a bombshell on him – which he didn’t take well – after going out to dinner.
Loren underwent cosmetic surgery – fat transfer and liposuction – this season. 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?although his friends and family were against it. And although Alexei supported everything she wanted to do, he later became overwhelmed with the task of taking care of not only her, but also their three young children alone, since she couldn’t do it physically while recovering. Loren later said she felt he resented her for having the surgery, after accusing her of downplaying the seriousness of the surgery before having it. During Sunday’s episode, Loren appeared almost fully healed and was getting ready for a night out with Alexei. But as she tried on dresses with a friend, it became clear that she still wasn’t completely comfortable with her body.
“When I decided to have the surgery, I was sure it would help with my body dysmorphia and my confidence and change that,” she said. “But these problems haven’t gone away. I’m not physically and mentally there yet.”
She was also candid about how her and Alexei’s sex life has changed.
“Normally, Alex and I have a very healthy sex life, but because of the surgery and then the negative energy and fighting all the time, our intimacy hasn’t been as great as he would like,” she acknowledged. “We’ve always been a united front and lately we haven’t been on the same page and we really need to get back to that.”
She later expressed a desire to be more of the woman she was before she got married and had children.
“This surgery is the first step in getting Loren back to life,” she said. “Before marriage, before kids, I was more independent. I loved that version of myself. But Alex likes that version of Loren at home, taking care of the house and the kids. So I don’t know if he wants the old Loren of return.”
During their date night, Alexei praised Loren and it seemed like the two definitely got their spark back.
“Loren asked me on a date, so I’m excited,” he told the cameras. “I feel good because Loren sees me struggling. She sees that I’m tired. I’m working really, really hard right now. So we need to find the balance.”
But during the meeting, Loren shocked Alexei by saying he wanted to work again and resume his career in advertising and marketing. Alexei was definitely not on board.
“I really like getting lost in postpartum depression and everything,” she said. “I want to promote my career for our family. I don’t want to just be a mother and a wife.”
Alexei replied: “You are a mother, first of all, you need to take care of the children, take care of the house and me, whatever I need.”
Alexei told the cameras that they always agreed that Loren wanted to be a housewife, but she reacted and said that she also wanted to be a businesswoman. When Alexei said that it was not possible to do everything and that the family would suffer, she reacted again.
“It’s possible – and I’ll show you,” she told him.
ET spoke with the couple in April, where Loren said that despite the toll the surgery took on her body and her family, she was not closing the door on performing more procedures in the future.
“I mean, we can always touch it up,” she joked. “I’m getting there again, body dysmorphia, I’m accepting my body. I feel good. But it’s a process.”
