90 Day Fiancé: Alexei Brovarnik Called “Freeloader” For “Cheap” Birthday Gift For Loren Brovarnik (2024)

Alexei Brovarnik from 90 Day Fiancé has been accused of using his influencer status to secure a gift for Loren Brovarnik on her birthday. Alexei and Loren joined the show in season 3 and tied the knot in 2015. Between 2020 and 2022, the couple welcomed three children - two sons and a daughter. Despite being seen as a compatible couple without major marital issues, Loren and Alexei are currently featured on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8. This season, Loren underwent a mommy makeover while Alexei struggled to manage the household as she recovered.

A 90 Day Fiancé blogger, @SHABOOTY, recently shared screenshots of Alexei contacting Miami-based spas to arrange a discounted spa day for Loren in exchange for Instagram promotion. Alexei's message read, "I want to take my wife for a day of pampering hoping to get a good price in exchange for tagging your page." While some saw this as a common practice in the influencer world, others felt the couple was being too demanding. Some even called them "freeloaders" and criticized Alexei for not splurging on a full-priced gift for Loren's birthday.

How Is Loren Celebrating Her 36th Birthday?

Loren Is Excited To Be Back Home From Her Trip To Israel

It's unknown if Alexei managed to get Loren a discounted spa day, but she's been having a blast on her special day regardless. After a brief trip to Israel, the couple is back in Florida with their three kids. Loren couldn't be happier to be reunited with her little ones, calling it the "best birthday present." Now she's back home, surrounded by family and friends, celebrating her 36th birthday. Loren also shared three photos that were clicked in Israel with the caption, "this is 36." The 90 Day Fiancé star is proud to have been born during the Cancer season.

Alexei is considered one of the best husbands on 90 Day Fiancé. He has been there for Loren in every possible way and has shown a level of emotional intelligence that sets him apart from other partners on the show. It was thoughtful of him to plan a spa day for Loren while he was spending time with his loved ones in Israel. The spa day was likely an extra special treat on top of the main gift he had already given her. Alexei likely just wanted Loren to feel relaxed and pampered a little more.

It appears that the popular reality couple simply wanted to leverage their fame to get discounted deals, regardless of the brand they would have to promote on their Instagram account. The 90 Day Fiancé star has been trying to secure a spa deal since the beginning of June, but it seems he has yet to be successful.

Alexei Isn't A Supportive Husband To Loren

Alexei Wanted Three Kids But Struggled To Care For Them Without Loren

While Alexei is a good father to his three young children, he isn't a supportive partner to Loren. He often prioritizes his own convenience, even if it means disregarding his wife's mental and physical well-being. Several months ago, Alexei took his in-laws' side when Loren expressed interest in getting plastic surgery. He tried to dissuade her, claiming that he wouldn't be able to manage the household while she recovered. Alexei only relented when Loren stood firm in her decision. Later, he struggled to manage the household despite his father helping him with the kids.

Alexei's continued focus on himself has always been a part of his character. His desire to move to Israel stems from his emotional connection to the country where he spent his childhood. But it's tough to justify dragging his American wife and kids across the globe, especially when they're so happy near Loren's family in the U.S. The couple recently visited Israel to see extended family, but their trip sparked disapproval from some followers who expressed concerns about the country's current socio-political situation. Loren and Alexei were criticized for potentially exploiting the trip for publicity.

Loren deserves a partner who treats her with care. While Loren loves Alexei, she would likely be happier with someone who prioritizes her needs over their own. 90 Day Fiancé fans would want to see Loren with someone willing to pay the full price for her birthday gifts.
