90 Day Fiancé star Yara Zaya’s childhood is a mystery, along with her relationship with her dad, who she now claims was an alcoholic. 27-year-old Yara made her debut as a reality TV star in the U.S. during 90 Day Fiancé season 8 when she moved from Kyiv, Ukraine, to New Orleans on a K-1 visa. Yara had met Jovi Dufren on a travel app while he was on a work trip as an Rov supervisor. Yara used to work in the makeup industry for a living, but since her TLC debut, owns two businesses. A mom now, Yara juggles life with a toddler and as a wife with ease.

Before 90 Day Fiancé, Yara appeared in reality TV shows back home. She looked different in them owing to her plastic surgery later to change her appearance. Yara rarely mentions this part of her life, but the internet holds information about her backstory.
