Despite her initial hesitation, Stevi and Mahdi started developing feelings for each other. I’m sure it would not have been safe for Stevi to travel to Iran, and Turkey was one of the only places Mahdi could travel to. Stevi met Mahdi in Turkey, and they discovered their physical connection was “magnetic.” After just spending a week together in person, Mahdi proposed to Stevi. A year of waiting later, Mahdi came to America. As Mahdi and Stevi are navigating their journey to the aisle, I developed a growing interest in their lives behind the camera.

Stevi Has Mentioned She Has Two Children

Stevi Has To Work Multiple Jobs To Support Her Kids

Stevi from Hattiesburg was introduced as a painter. She seemed to be an expert in live nude drawings. Stevi revealed that she loves painting abstract art, but just recently, she started painting nudes. Stevi liked painting nudes because it let her normalize different body types. She mentioned that at times, in the real world, one can forget that people are beautiful, yet they can see it when they look at a painting. While painting is Stevi’s passion, I agree with her… it unfortunately doesn’t pay the bills.

Stevi mentioned how, since she was a single mom with two kids and a mortgage, she’d also taken to teaching English online. Stevi spoke about how her students came from all over the world, and this included Mahdi, who was from Turan in Iran. I’m certain it’s the only time Stevi mentioned her children on the show. She never gave a glimpse into her family life and didn’t even talk about her life as a mother in detail. I expected her to share some information about her past relationships or the father of her children, but she didn’t.

Stevi’s Kids Were Not Filmed For Season 11

I often see Stevi do Q&A sessions with fans on her Instagram account. Fans often ask her about her relationship status with Mahdi and other questions she cannot answer because of her NDA. However, Stevi’s followers also ask her about her children. Reddit user Onyx-Owl2127 reposted a screenshot of Stevi’s Instagram Story, where, during one such AMA, a fan wanted to know if Stevi films with her kids. Stevi is secretive on camera, but I observed that she was quite willing to shed light on the topic of her missing kids while responding to her fan.

“You won’t see them on this season.”

Stevi shared that she respects every parent’s choices. I wonder if she was referring to parents on 90 Day Fiancé who include their children in their storyline, have them give interviews to share their opinions about their parents’ relationships, etc., on camera. However, Stevi believes that her kids are busy creating their own “wonderful lives.” However, I don’t think it means that Stevi won’t get her kids to face the camera anytime in the future. She has particularly mentioned “season” and not show, in her Story response, which suggests Stevi is open to the idea of them filming upcoming shows.

Are Stevi’s Kids Teenagers?

“They do stay with me.”

Stevi revealed that the kids are staying with her, but fans will still not see them at all. She added, “Because I am mama bear.” Stevi confessed that she had chosen to keep the children out of the limelight for now. It amused me how laughed that the kids could probably “step out” when they felt ready. The host also wanted to know if Stevi’s children are “little.” Without giving any details about their ages, Stevi revealed that her children are not little, but they are “okay.” She said she gets asked about them every single week, after every episode.

“They’re perfectly fine.”

I had wondered if Stevi’s kids were safe, especially if they were stuck in their rooms while she films with Mahdi in the same house. Stevi claimed they were doing just fine. She just chooses not to put them on television. The host questioned how Stevi was living in the “one-bedroom, one-bathroom” house with Mahdi and her kids. “We just stayed out there,” she replied. I suppose Stevi had decided to mention she has kids on the show because someone would have otherwise found out and accused her of not taking care of her kids.

“We’ll see what happens in the future.”

Stevi revealed that her kids like Mahdi. They met Mahdi through video calls and were able to talk to him before he came to America. Stevi admitted she had sheltered them initially since she wasn’t sure about her relationship with Mahdi. However, the 90 Day Fiancé star’s children got to know Mahdi through the phone, and they just want their mom to be happy. “As long as I’m happy, they’re happy, and yeah, so they’re good,” Stevi said in conclusion.
