Shekinah Güven is at odds with just about everyone on 90 Day: The Last Resort, and I was pretty confident it wasn't for show until the latest episode. The fact that the 90 Day Fiancé spinoff has now made Shekinah's threats to leave part of the Season 3 storyline has me suspicious, especially given all the additional fallout from this season online.
Shekinah's been at odds with her husband Sarper online as of late, and it looks like this married 90 Day couple is on the verge of divorce. Now I'm wondering if the couple is just playing it up to promote the show, as the latest episode to hit the 2026 TV schedule seemed to really lean into whether they'll continue to be involved.
90 Day: The Last Resort Has Turned Shekinah's Feud Into Their Main Storyline
Shekinah and Thaís' incident with telling her to "go back to her own country" was dramatic, but 90 Day: The Last Resort is milking it for all its worth. The latest episode featured Shekinah stating she didn't want to participate in a group exercise because she no longer considered it a safe space. Later on, she talked to a therapist about squashing the beef with Thaís and why she wasn't willing to do that.
After that, it showed in the preview for the next episode that Shekinah and Sarper were enjoying drinks in a hot tub and discussing if they should leave the resort and return to the United States. It wasn't like some hidden camera sequence with hushed voices; it was a scene with multiple camera angles and close-ups. Seems odd to agree to a curated scene promoting leaving, especially if it's meant to be seen as though you're violating your agreement to be on the show.
Shekinah's Said She Won't Return To 90 Day Fiancé, But I'm Skeptical
Since filming, Shekinah has blamed the show for making her marriage with Sarper worse, and said it's a reason she won't return to the show. I was on her side about that being true, and even saw her point until I saw these latest scenes.
Shekinah and Sarper have yet to get into their marital issues, and now that 90 Day: The Last Resort is putting the spotlight on their drama with the cast, it's their storyline. Shekinah may have valid reasons to be mad at the 90 Day Fiancé team and take issue with her portrayal. But there's a part of me that suspects she's doing all this to further sell and promote the story being told on television.
When Big Ed Brown stepped away from 90 Day Fiancé, there was no grand storyline factored into the show about him leaving. The same is true with Angela Deem, who only said as much online after she hadn't been involved for some time. For the record, we've yet to see a 90 Day star successfully break into another reality franchise after this show, so I'd question why Shekinah would want to attempt it.
I guess we'll see what's true and what's not when the tell-all rolls around, and whether Shekinah and Sarper show up in 90 Day Fiancé in the future. Until then, catch new episodes of 90 Day: The Last Resort on Mondays on TLC at 8:00 p.m. ET.
