Jonathan Rivera and Fernanda Flores appeared as one of the strongest couples on TLC’s 90 Day Fiancé Season 6. The two even tied the knot but sadly, the post-nuptial bliss was not to last. The duo has already split.

Jonathan and Fernanda confirm separation on social media

Rumors of Jon and Fer’s separation started swirling after Jon’s new year post did not include his spouse. On the new year’s day, Jon posted a family picture on his Instagram and wrote, “Bring in the New Year with this special lady! Wishing all my friends, familia and supporters an abundance of love, health, wealth and success in 2019!” 

A few concerned fans asked Jon about Fer’s whereabouts on the comments, to which he replied, “No, she’s in Houston. She wanted to pursue a modeling career in Chicago. Decided to leave and realized she couldn’t do it on her own.” He added, “She said many things you can’t take back that I won’t mention. You’ll have to trust me when I tell you, good luck.”

In a separate comment, Jon also stated, “I gave 1000% always, until it wasn’t enough.” He said, “I am not one for drama, I prefer to remain private but I’m not ok with my spouse airing our laundry to get my attention. Deleting me, deleting or [sic] pictures then putting them back, I mean come on.”

Meanwhile, Fer preferred silence and told her followers on Instagram that she does not want to talk about Jonathan again. On her Instagram story, she said, “He’s talking a lot, he can say whatever he wants. I’m not gonna talk about it until I’m ready, and today, right now, is not the moment.”

Why did Jonathan and Fernanda separate?

After the stars took to Instagram to share cryptic comments, Flores took a long break. She announced her return on Monday, January 14, sharing a long message about kindness and love. She wrote, “Some of the kindest souls I know have lived in a world that was not so kind to them. Some of the best human beings I know, have been through so much at the hands of others, and the will still love deeply, they still care.”

“Sometimes, it’s people who have been hurt the most, who refuse to be hardened in this world, because they would never want to make another person feel the same way they themselves have felt,” she continued. 

Recently, on Jan 18, she has shared a similar post, talking about GOD and life.  She wrote, “I declare that God has a great plan for my life. He is directing my steps. And even though I may not always understand how, I know that my situation is not a surprise to God. He will work out every detail to my advantage. In his perfect timing. Everything will turn right.” 

Speaking to InTouch, Jon confirmed that he has not spoken to Fer since December 22. He said, “I have a lot going on and so in the midst of all the craziness, I try to focus on what’s important."

Amidst the confession, Rivera also mentioned that what they had was real, refusing to speak ill of his ex. "Fernanda's not a gold digger. Fernanda didn't come here for a green card," he told the outlet. "What happened was things change, things change and people change and I can't help that." He has not shared what actually caused their split.
