Four months. That is all it took for Georgi Rusev to travel from a stranger in Darcey Silva’s Instagram DMs to a man on one knee with a ring — while he was still married to someone else. Six years later, the same relationship has survived two engagements, two breakups, a secret wedding and a divorce dare delivered live on television. Here it is, counted down: the five moments that made Darcey and Georgi, ranked from the spark to the sentence that may have ended it.
5. The DM That Started It All — Super Bowl Weekend, 2020
Georgi slid into Darcey’s DMs while she was still with Tom Brooks — a Bulgarian model who had watched her seasons with his girlfriend, according to reports. They met in person in Miami during Super Bowl weekend in February 2020, and by spring they were quarantining together in Connecticut. It sits inside the nine-year twin timeline as the fastest-moving chapter either sister ever had. Ranked last only because a beginning is just a beginning: every 90 Day romance starts with a DM. Almost none end with a wedding.
4. The Four-Month Proposal — A Ring Before the Divorce Was Final
By June 2020, Georgi proposed on the season one finale of Darcey & Stacey. The ring was real. The paperwork was not: he was still technically married to his ex-wife, his divorce delayed by the pandemic, and Darcey admitted in a confessional that she had known. A proposal with an asterisk — and the first proof this relationship would always move faster than its paperwork. Fans still argue whether that June night was romance or a red flag in a ring box.
3. The Second Engagement — In Front of Aniko and Aspen
They broke up, reconciled, and Georgi proposed a second time in the season three finale — this time in front of Darcey’s daughters, Aniko and Aspen. Then they called it off again in early 2022, and by season four Darcey had hired a matchmaker to move on. We have ranked every romance in Darcey’s life, and Georgi is the only man who made it to the altar — but this is the moment the stakes stopped being just hers. Once the daughters watched a proposal, every breakup after it stopped being just her heartbreak.
2. Fifteen Guests, One Sacred Date — The 11/11 Wedding
On November 11, 2023 — 11/11, the twins’ manifesting number, tied to their late brother Michael — Darcey married Georgi privately, just 15 guests in Connecticut. “I’ve been on a long journey to find love, and in the end, love wins,” she said. After two broken engagements, nobody expected a wedding, least of all one with no cameras. Ranked second because it is the only moment in six years when the doubters went quiet — even if only for a while.
1. “File for Divorce” — The Tell All That Changed Everything
November 23, 2025. The 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season nine Tell All, months after the Bulgaria trip that cracked everything open. Darcey looked Georgi in the eye on camera and told him to file for divorce. Underneath it was a fight about children — he wanted biological kids; Darcey, then 50, said that door was closed. No filing has been confirmed since, and her third anniversary on 11/11 this week passed in silence. Ranked first because every other moment here was about getting together. This one was about whether to stay.

Team “The Wedding Was Real” says 15 guests on 11/11 proved Darcey and Georgi were the real thing, and one bad night on a Tell All stage cannot erase that. Team “The Tell All Told the Truth” says the divorce dare was the only honest moment of the six years. If Georgi showed up tomorrow and asked for one more chance, should Darcey hand him the ring back — or hand him the divorce papers she told him to file?
