Stacey Silva waited years for Florian Sukaj. They met online, survived a long-distance relationship, and married in a quiet quarantine ceremony in April 2020. Two years later, they did it all over again in a lavish Connecticut wedding. On paper, that is a love story that survived everything.
But fans give two completely different answers. One side says they proved their marriage again and again; the other says the same moments prove it was broken from the start. Here are the moments both sides keep fighting over.
The Shanti Scandal: Cheating Before the Wedding Even Happened
Before Florian settled in America, Darcey revealed he had cheated on Stacey in Albania, with photos and video of Florian in bed with Belgian model Shanti Zohra. Florian insisted he had only kissed Shanti. Darcey then video-chatted Shanti herself.
Stacey chose to stay. Supporters call that loyalty; critics call it the first warning sign she ignored. Years later, Shanti claimed, according to reports, that the confrontation had been staged by production.
The Wedding Wars: “I’m the Husband. She Listens to Me.”
Their second wedding in November 2022 in Connecticut should have been the happy ending. Instead, Florian invited his friend Georgi Rusev, Darcey’s ex, as his best man. Georgi then spent the trip trying to win Darcey back, and a fight broke out with a family friend.
Then came the bachelorette blowup. Stacey broke down, saying he protected his friend instead of his wife. His response became infamous: “I’m the husband. Stacey’s supposed to listen to me.” Stacey threw her ring back at him. She later tricked him into counseling, where he finally vowed to change.

The Last Resort brought the same fight into the present. In a March 2025 episode, Darcey told Stacey that Florian had left a bar with two blonde women, and that one later told Georgi to “thank Florian for taking her home.” Florian denied cheating, saying he had only helped a drunk neighbor in their building get inside safely.
Stacey did not buy it. “There is a pattern here,” she said, noting it was the same kind of story she had heard the first time he cheated. “Don’t play me for a fool,” she told him. For one side, the resort proved nothing had changed; for the other, Stacey still walked out standing by her marriage.
The Recommitment — and the Distance After It
At the recommitment ceremony, they did stay together, but even that moment split fans. Florian forgot to prepare his written vows, leaving Stacey to wonder how much thought he was putting into it. He apologized for his past mistakes, promised to prioritize his wife, and they recommitted.
What followed was a year of mixed signals: according to reports, Stacey unfollowed Florian in February 2025 after he posted a Valentine’s Day photo with another woman, and the pair took space. Then came a June 2025 “fairytale wedding memories” reel and an August 2025 video of the pair together in Albania. The October 2026 couples scorecard from The Celeb Watch lists them as “married, living apart,” with neither confirming a divorce.
The Verdict: Team Stacey or Team Florian?
Here is the honest scorecard. The “proved it” case: two weddings, a recommitment ceremony, and a couple still circling back to each other after every scandal. The “broke it” case: a cheating scandal before the marriage began, a husband tricked into counseling, the same pattern alleged again at the resort, and a marriage now lived apart, according to reports.
Stacey never walks away quietly, and Florian never makes it easy to stay. So pick your side: are they proof that love survives anything, or proof that some patterns never change? Drop your verdict in the comments: Team STAY, or Team GO?
