Laura Nevenner and Birkan are one of several new couples featured on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days Season 8. The couple met on Snapchat after Laura downloaded the app to get some Christmas filters. While she didn’t end up with any filters, she did end up meeting Birkan through the app’s find a friend feature. Laura lives in Washington, while Birkan resides in Turkey. Despite the distance and their twenty-one-year age gap, they formed a strong connection.
While Laura and Birkan have an undeniable bond, the latter appears to be hiding some things. He’s been very evasive about certain topics, including his family and finances. Birkan recently admitted that there’s something else about his life that he’s nervous to tell Laura about. But what is it?
Laura Nevenner and Birkan have a unique relationship on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days Season 8

Laura and Birkan have a unique relationship on Season 8. They have a twenty-one-year age gap, which isn’t uncommon when it comes to the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. The series often features large age gaps, often with the woman being older than the man. In many of the age gap relationships, the age difference is noticeable and plays a large part in the couple’s stories. With Laura and Birkan, however, it’s very easy to forget about their age difference. It’s never really mentioned, and they have a lot in common. This is refreshing, especially in comparison to many of the other age gap story lines.
Furthermore, Laura and Birkan have a unique story due to Laura’s best friend, Michal’s, role on Season 8. Laura and Michal do everything together, and Laura believes that Michal has romantic feelings for her. Michal is shown coming to Turkey in previews for the season, which will surely complicate things for Laura and Birkan. Since Birkan is jealous of Michal and wants Laura to stop being friends with him, a lot of drama is likely in store. Laura and Michal’s relationship adds an interesting component to her story line with Birkan, which is interesting to watch.
Birkan recently shocked Laura by revealing that he’s in a massive amount of debt
After arriving in Turkey, Laura was concerned about some aspects of Birkan’s behavior. She was initially worried that he wasn’t attracted to her in person, after he was quiet on the train ride back from the airport. Luckily, after spending some time together, their romantic chemistry picked up, and Laura was able to stop worrying.
Recently, on Season 8, Birkan alarmed Laura once more by revealing that he is $50,000 in debt. Birkan suggested that he could leave his debt behind in Turkey and move to America with Laura, which concerned her. This made her wonder whether or not Birkan was using her to leave Turkey and evade his debt. Birkan assured her that wasn’t the case, although she’s still concerned about why he hid his debt for so long.
A new sneak peek reveals that Birkan is a frequent gambler, which he is nervous to admit to Laura
Recently, a new sneak peek from Access Hollywood revealed that Birkan is hiding another aspect of his financial life from Laura. After he told Laura about his debt, Birkan admitted that there was a controversial way he made money, which he was nervous to tell Laura. Viewers quickly wondered what the secret could be and began to speculate.
The new sneak peek reveals that Birkan’s secret is frequent gambling. Birkan admits that he gambles every day, which is somewhat controversial given the amount of debt that he is in. At lunch with his friends and Laura, Birkan is encouraged to come clean to Laura. However, he isn’t ready and persuades his friends not to tell Laura about his gambling. After her reaction to the debt, Laura will surely be even more concerned after finding out about Birkan’s gambling. It will be interesting to see how Laura reacts and whether or not Birkan’s secret will impact their relationship going forward this season.
