Varya and Geoffrey’s relationship explored
If you’re a 90 Day Fiancé fan, you’ll likely already know the rundown of Varya and Geoffrey’s relationship, but let’s recap anyway.
Geoffrey Paschel appeared on season 4 of Before the 90 Days, providing viewers with the ups and downs of his long-distance love affair with Russian native and wedding planner Varya Malina.
However, things didn’t go too smoothly for the couple and Malina actually ended up rejecting Paschel’s proposal, prompting Geoffrey to move on to Mary Wallace.
Just as we thought it was over between Varya and the 44-year-old former TLC star, Malina flew across the world and confessed her love.
Fans were eagerly anticipating more of the couple, but they failed to appear on air for the season 4 tell-all due to allegations against Geoffrey.
Just last year, Malina moved into Paschel’s Tennessee home while he was facing charges, InTouch reports.

Geoffrey Paschel was sentenced to 18 years in prison on Thursday (February 3rd) after being convicted of kidnapping and assaulting his ex-fiancée, reports confirm.
Varya, who has stuck by Geoffrey for the duration of his trial, took to Instagram in the lead up to the court hearing. Sharing a story, Malina wrote: “They don’t allow him to wear a suit. Let the circus begin.”
Touching on Geoffrey’s 18-year-sentence in an Instagram post, Varya later said: “To be honest we didn’t expect much from this sentencing. 18 years? Alright, we passed the bottom, that means there’s only one way up!”
The Russian native also already seems to have her eye on an appeal, writing: “The grounds for the appeal became even stronger.”
Referring to Paschel’s late son Kazhem, Varya continued: “Meanwhile the sky is still crying, I believe it’s because one little angle is very upset.”
