“We’re just kind of doing our own thing right now.” That is all Andrei Castravet said when 90 Day Fiancé blogger John Yates asked him, on camera, whether he and Elizabeth “Libby” Potthast are still together. Ten words, padded with qualifiers — “just,” “kind of,” “right now” — and the fandom has spent two days picking them apart.
“Doing Our Own Thing,” Word by Word
Start with what the phrase is not. “Doing our own thing” is not “we broke up,” and it is not “we’re fine.” “Just” shrinks the claim. “Kind of” blurs it. What he did say, plainly: he and Libby still live under the same roof, and they are “working it out.” He confirmed neither a split nor a reconciliation. The full timeline of the week is here: everything we know so far about the couple’s marriage.
The Sentence Headlines Keep Cutting Off
Most headlines stopped at “doing our own thing.” The next sentence changes the temperature: “We’re like, you know, working it out,” Andrei said. “We’re still in the same house, you know, like, we’re doing [that] for the kids … we’ll see what happens, you know …”
Then the bluntest line: “It’s gonna be like fake it, or we’re not f***ing making it.” It is the most honest sentence Andrei gave all week. He is not describing a marriage that is over. He is describing one that survives on effort — and admitting it might not be enough. Eleanor and Winston are why he stays in the same house while they figure out whether “working it out” is a plan or a postponement.
The “Bye.” Reels That Lit the Fuse
The interview did not land in a vacuum. The day before, Libby’s Instagram lit the fuse: one Reel read “Once a woman is done,” captioned simply “Bye. 👋”; another declared, “Women are multipliers.” Commenters flooded in with waving emojis, “Bye Felicia,” and the question under every post about this couple: “Are they even together anymore lol?”
Neither spouse has announced a separation, and the Reels are evidence of a mood, not a legal status. The counter-evidence is loud too: Libby recently captioned a steamy shoot “The kind of love you dream about,” cheered on by Jasmine Pineda and Julia Trubkina, and the couple has launched an OnlyFans together. Opposite signals, all at once — which is why four vague words set the fandom on fire.

Why the Divorce Rumors Sound Familiar
This is not the fandom’s first farewell for this marriage. The couple has posted vague, pointed content for a month, and the split chatter trailed them through their loudest break yet — the one with TLC itself. Andrei has said he is done with “trash TV” because “they don’t pay enough,” and called skipping Happily Ever After? “the best decision ever.” That is his noisy break with TLC — kept separate from his marriage. He did not blame the show for any strain at home.
He also says TLC called two weeks before the Florida spinoff he turned down began filming, with Jasmine Pineda and Matt Branistareanu allegedly added after he declined. Underneath it all: a dating-app meeting, a Dublin connection, a Season 5 debut and a wedding the same year, nearly a decade of marriage, two kids, and an on-screen feud with Loren Brovarnik. The fandom has heard “split” before.
Andrei gave the fandom four words — “doing our own thing” — then three more pointing the other way: “working it out.” So which sentence do you believe — the one that sounds like distance, or the one that sounds like effort? If “doing our own thing” is their new normal, is it a marriage on pause — or one finding its own way to survive?
