Sarper Guven is confirming what fans had already suspected. The 90 Day: The Last Resort star revealed he is officially separated from wife Shekinah Garner in a first-look clip from the upcoming tell-all, just weeks after the two reaffirmed their marriage on camera during the season’s recommitment ceremony.
Sarper Confirms the Split, and a Reported Cash Demand
When host Ross Mathews asked Sarper directly whether he would consider himself officially separated from Shekinah, Sarper held up his bare ring finger and confirmed it. Sarper said Shekinah left everything and moved to Miami alone. She told him she wanted “one more thing, $50,000 in cash” for what she called emotional damage, according to Yahoo Entertainment. This is Sarper’s account of the conversation and has not been confirmed by Shekinah. He said hearing that request is what finally stopped his heartache over the split. He called the Last Resort experience one of the most emotionally draining times of his life. He never watched an episode because it reminded him of the arguments and stress they faced while filming.
Shekinah’s Side of the Story
Shekinah told a different version of events on her Instagram Story, confirming she skipped the tell-all entirely and said she regretted doing the show in the first place. She said she and Sarper are still married. However, she accused him of being unfaithful and claimed it was a betrayal they couldn’t recover from. She posted a direct message to him. She said his on-camera recommitment wasn’t strength; it was cowardly and deceptive. She claimed she later found out he only did it out of pity for her while planning to leave. She also accused him of using the show primarily to promote his comedy career rather than to save their marriage. Sarper has not publicly responded to the infidelity accusation.
Their public feud had been building for weeks before this, including a moment earlier in the season when Shekinah told castmate Thaís to go back to her country, a comment that reportedly offended much of the cast. Reports have also suggested Sarper has been sharing details about the marriage during his ongoing comedy tour.
What Comes Next for Both of Them
Shekinah skipping her season’s tell-all usually means she won’t return to the franchise. It wouldn’t be surprising if this signals her exit. Sarper’s path looks different. He has reportedly already filmed segments for an unannounced spinoff alongside Tyray Mollett, suggesting TLC still sees him as valuable to the brand regardless of how this marriage ends.
