She is currently 27 years old now, making her 33 years younger than David. That's really all audiences know about her so far; none of the promo videos that have been released show her on camera.

2. Is this a real relationship?

David confesses to TLC that for the entire seven years that he'sbeen in love with Lana, they have been communicating exclusively through a text app on a Ukrainian dating site.

In promos for the show, David can be seen at a train station in Ukraine where he'splanning to meet up with his mysterious girlfriend. But in the voiceover, he confesses that he's not sure she'llbe there. Not because of travel issue—because she has a history of standing him up.

4. Haven't we seen this storyline before?

Yes, actually we have. Or at least something very similar. Last season, nail technician Caesar Mack had spent years talking to his Ukrainian girlfriend Maria. He tried repeatedly to find a way to meet her though she often canceled or made excuses. He finally made reservations for the two of them to meet in Mexico and he bought Maria a plane ticket. She never showed up. Maria'sticket had been canceled after his credit card didn't go through. Mack tried to get her a new ticket but she broke up with him instead of joining him on vacation.

TLC eventually showed Maria on camera and she explained thatwhile she liked Caesar, she didn't want to take the relationship further. Then, as a weird coda to the whole story, she popped up on social media hanging out with JesseMeester, another Before the 90 Days star who appeared in the previous season with Darcey Silva.

5. What does David plan to do if Lana ghosts on him again?

Apparently, David's hopeful that this trip to Ukraine will be the magic ticket to a lasting relationship with the woman who'sbeen stringing him along for the better part of a decade.However, he admits that this is her last chance. If she doesn't show up, he doesn't want to keep trying to make something real out of the relationship they have.

6. Are David and Lana from 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days still together?

The better question might be: Was this couple really together at all or is this a case of catfishing? There are a lot of red flags about this storyline: the lack of phone calls, the way Lana has never shown up when David tried to visit, the larges amounts of money he's sent her. However, anything is possible on reality TV so maybe this is the couple that will have the happiest ending this season. We'll see!
