$6,189 a month. That is the number Shekinah Garner has put on the two years she spent flying back and forth to Turkey while Sarper Güven built a comedy career — and it has split 90 Day Fiancé fans straight down the middle before a judge has even ruled on it.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ and reported by Just Jared on November 8, Shekinah is asking for $6,189 a month in spousal support, plus $35,000 toward her attorney’s fees. No judge has been reported to have approved either request yet, so for now the figures are a demand, not a decision. But the numbers behind the demand have fans doing the math — and reaching different answers.
The $51,000 She Says She Lost
Shekinah’s case is built on sacrifice: before Sarper received his U.S. visa, she says she flew to Turkey roughly every two months, staying around three weeks at a time, for two years. Each trip meant shutting her facial studio, and she claims the closures left that business with a net loss of approximately $51,000.
Her argument is that the money tells the story of who invested what: she paused her own income so he could build his.
The $180,000 on the Other Side of the Ledger
On the other side of the ledger: according to Shekinah’s claims about the couple’s joint federal tax return, Sarper’s comedy business brought in more than $280,000 in gross revenue, with approximately $180,000 in net profit.
Put the two figures side by side and the fight writes itself: she says she finished $51,000 down, he finished $180,000 up, and the gap between those numbers is, in her view, exactly what spousal support exists to close. Sarper’s comedy career has only grown louder since the split, with his Christmas comedy show appearances and a tour schedule keeping him on stage.

Shekinah and Sarper married on November 11, 2024, and according to the divorce papers they separated on September 22, 2026 — though Sarper has previously said the real split came in early 2026. Shekinah filed for divorce on September 28, 2026, citing irreconcilable differences, weeks after the couple publicly confirmed their breakup.
The pair met on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way and later appeared on 90 Day: The Last Resort. At the split, Shekinah accused Sarper of turning their relationship into stand-up material and raised allegations about his interactions with other women. Sarper denied choosing fame or money over the relationship, and Shekinah told TMZ that ending the marriage was difficult but necessary. The bad feeling has only hardened since, from his single-era night in Tulsa to the moment he said he wanted her neck tattoo removed.
Why the Math Splits the Fandom
This is where the fandom divides, because both sides can point to the same numbers and see a different story. One camp reads $51,000 lost against $180,000 gained and calls $6,189 a month a fair return on an investment — the price of two years of closed studios and three-week flights. The other camp reads a marriage that lasted under two years and a comedian whose talent, not his wife’s travel schedule, filled the rooms. In that version, $6,189 is not a reimbursement. It is a jackpot.
What neither side can settle is what a judge thinks the math is worth.
Shekinah says she bankrolled the dream and came home $51,000 down; Sarper’s business banked $180,000. If you were the judge, would you sign off on $6,189 a month for Shekinah, cut the number down, or throw the whole claim out?
