David Murphey’s relationship with Lana has been a roller coaster for 90 Day Fiancé fans to witness. For a while, fans of the show didn’t think Lana was real. And when the couple actually met, some people thought TLC hired a model to act as Lana.

But if you take a look at David’s Instagram page, he seems to remain over the moon about finally meeting his Ukrainian girlfriend in the flesh. He’s posted photos from their first day meeting, their first date, even a shot of Lana eating a snack.

David’s fellow 90 Day Fiancé cast-members have mixed feelings about his relationship with Lana.

90 Day Fiancé: Self-Quarantined star Cortney thinks TLC paid Lana a lot of money to be on the show and meet David

Cortney Reardanz from 90 Day Fiancé: Self-Quarantined didn’t think Lana wasn’t real, but she does think TLC paid her a lot of money to appear on the show.

“I think that really is Lana. He proposed to her. Honestly, I don’t feel she speaks English because when she filmed, she was doing her whole segment in Russian. So I think she’s probably like confused. But I’m sure they paid her a lot of money to do the show. That’s why she probably finally agreed to do it,” she said in an interview with The Domenick Nati Show on May 15.

Cortney also said in the interview that she wonders if David really flew to see Lana twice, or if TLC just made it look like he did.

“I’m curious if he did two flights there because like they didn’t meet and then they flew home then he flew back. So I’m curious if he actually did two flights. Of if they just filmed it to make it look like he did that,” she said.

“It seems like that would have been too much a hassle to put on a different outfit and film in the plane again so maybe he was just there one time,” she added.

Geoffrey thinks Lana is going to stick around for David

90 Day Fiancé star Geoffrey Paschel sees David as “a poor soul.” But he likes that David has been standing up for himself more recently.

“When I watch [David] on TV I think he’s a poor soul. I’m liking what he’s putting out now–’A lot of this stuff is edited. That’s not the way it went. She actually never said that.’ All this stuff,” he said in a separate interview a few days later.

For that reason, Geoffrey thinks “Lana is in it for some reason.”

“Maybe it’s love, maybe it’s the Lamborghini, I don’t know, but I believe that she’s totally in it. And I believe that we’ll see more of her,” he said.
