In the latest episode of 90 Day Fiancé Season 8, Birkan expressed regret over meeting Laura Nevenner after learning she made a drunken advance on Michal. The revelation strained their relationship, leading Birkan to question her trustworthiness. Laura dismissed the incident, but Birkan remained upset.
Birkan confronted Laura after Michal disclosed that she had tried to kiss him while drunk. This occurred before Laura began talking to Birkan, but he viewed it as a betrayal, calling her 'no good' and stating he wished they had never met. Laura argued it was not a big deal since Michal rejected the advance and she was intoxicated, but Birkan told her to shut up and deal with having wanted a young husband. She walked off, later blaming Michal at his hotel for stirring trouble, though he insisted he only clarified his lack of feelings for her. Birkan refused to see her afterward, leaving Laura waiting to repair the damage. Laura met Birkan hoping for reconciliation, as he had previously said he liked Michal. However, the mood soured quickly over the incident. Birkan felt like second fiddle in what he saw as a throuple dynamic. The episode also featured other couples navigating tensions, but the Birkan-Laura fallout highlighted trust issues in their international relationship in Turkey.
