reality TV.

A Brief Overview of His Life and Love Life

David’s time on 90-Day Fiancé Before the 90 Days left viewers with mixed emotions. He had a high-profile relationship with his on-screen love interest, Lana, but their romance was marred by controversy. He had dated Lana for 7 years without ever meeting her in person, raising questions about the authenticity of their relationship. When they eventually met, David proposed to Lana before the 90 days, but the couple never tied the knot. In November 2021, David admitted that his relationship with Lana was complicated, and later that month, she announced that she had split from him.

David’s Journey to Recovery and New Beginnings

After his breakup with Lana, David seemed to move on and focus on himself. He made new friends, attended social events, and even started to build a life outside of his tumultuous relationship. In October 2022, he made his dream a reality by building a gigantic RV and shared his progress on social media. The project brought him a sense of accomplishment and excitement, which fans appreciated on his Instagram posts.

However, David’s past relationship with Lana left a deep scar, and he struggled to move on. He eventually tried to reconnect with Amira Lisa, another 90-Day Fiancé co-star, but even that didn’t lead to any romantic success.
