The couple hinted at growing troubles that led to their appearance on The Last Resort, and this is one of them. In the post, Shekinah encouraged people to find a partner who treats everything about them as important. She explained that her partner used to make a big deal out of her birthday, favorite food, and flowers. She also suggested that he made her feel undervalued and unappreciated.

Shekinah also shared a quote on her Instagram Story that caught fans’ attention. The quote compared 2025 to waking up during surgery, suggesting a sudden realization. Many viewers quickly connected it to her relationship struggles with Sarper. Fans quickly reacted online. Some believed the couple’s drama was real, while others thought it was simply promotion for The Last Resort. Despite the mixed reactions, Shekinah is in the middle of speculation.
Before Sarper and Shekinah ever set foot at The Last Resort, their marriage had already hit rock bottom. The couple arrived in the UK carrying more baggage than most, and that’s saying something in a house full of struggling 90 Day Fiance couples. Just before filming began, the marital breaking point came. The two had a blowout fight so bad that they stopped speaking entirely. For three days, they slept in separate rooms and didn’t say a word to each other. Shekinah admitted she was mentally preparing to move out. This wasn’t a rough patch; it was a breaking point in their marriage.
Shekinah revealed in the confessional, “If we didn’t have this planned, I felt like I was going to move out.” Sarper, in the middle of a comedy tour, walked away from his career to show up. That alone said everything. He made it clear that fixing the marriage mattered more than anything that happened on stage. The couple also revealed they have therapists in LA, who are amazing in helping them through their issues. They have no sexual issues, but they lean towards explosive language during arguments that break down communication.
The couple revealed that appearing on The Last Resort will help them with their issues. One important point is that being around people at Thornbury Castle, whom they wouldn’t generally associate with, helps them navigate different types of people. They also don’t want to lose the marriage over a multitude of small issues if they can simply work it out. Hopefully, by the end, Shekinah and Sarper will fix their marriage.
