AceShowbiz – His failed marriage to Anfisa Arkhipchenko doesn’t make “90 Day Fiance” star Jorge Nava lose hope for a new romance. The TV star, who is currently serving two and a half-year sentence after being arrested for marijuana possession in 2018, shared in a new interview that he wants to find love again after being released from prison.
“One of the first things I had to deal with was leaving my family and leaving my relationship behind. That was hard. That was very difficult,” he said in an interview from prison during the Monday, April 27, episode of “90 Day Fiance: Self-Quarantined”. “The last time I saw Anfisa was the day before I got incarcerated. The night before I came to prison, we had an argument and things were not going well. I thought I was going to try to make things work, and they didn’t. That was it.”
“Probably about two months after I was in prison, she basically told me that she couldn’t be with me anymore. She wishes I got 12 years in prison, basically trying to get rid of me,” the California native shared. “We still talked on the phone. I tried to work on the relationship no matter what. I tried.”
Jorge, who is set to get out of the Arizona State Complex in Phoenix, Arizona, in 26 days, went on to say that he’s “open to looking for love again.” However, he added that “love is the least of my priority list.” He explained, “I just have to get my life together and make sure I’m good as a person before I’m able to give somebody else something.”
“I ended up finding out through the internet that she was with somebody else. That definitely hurt. It really broke my heart,” he said. “The last time I spoke with Anfisa, she asked me if I knew already that she was with somebody else. I told her I did know and as soon as I get released from prison, I’m going to file for divorce. At least now, I’m stronger mentally. I’m stronger emotionally. I’ve gone through a lot of changes here in prison.”
Jorge and Anfisa got married in season 4 of the TLC show. In a previous interview, the 31-year-old revealed that his drastic weight loss is what led to their decision to go separate ways. “I think she was just jealous of the attention that I was getting,” he alleged.
“The news about my weight loss didn’t sit with her very well,” he continued. “That’s when she blocked my phone calls and I kind of was starting to lose contact with her,” he added, noting that his estranged wife waited until “the day after” he posted about his weight loss to say that “it was over.”
