Exclusive: 90 Day Fiancé Star Sarper Views His Body Count of Nearly 3,000 as ‘a Positive’

In a recent exclusive interview with PEOPLE, 90 Day Fiancé’s Sarper shared insights into his relationship with Shekinah after their transition from Turkey to Los Angeles. The reality TV stars opened up about the challenges of adjusting to a new life together in the United States, shedding light on their journey from long-distance dating to cohabitation.

Sarper, known for his honesty, addressed the issue of his extensive body count, boasting of having been intimate with close to 3,000 women. He admitted to a tumultuous past but turned the narrative around, proclaiming, “it’s a boon for a relationship.” His rationale behind this bold statement stems from the belief that his high number of past experiences has made him immune to temptation. Sarper confidently declared, “Now, women can’t tempt me.”

Despite Shekinah’s initial reservations about his fidelity, Sarper assured her that his past could actually benefit their relationship. He explained, “If the body count is high, it’s a good thing for a relationship. Because right now, women can’t tempt me.” By acknowledging his past struggles with faithfulness, Sarper aimed to reassure Shekinah of his devotion to her.

While observers might question Sarper’s loyalty in a new environment with different female acquaintances, he remained resolute in his commitment to Shekinah. He emphasised that regardless of location, the essence of a woman remains the same. Sarper’s unwavering stance on his fidelity highlighted a sense of self-assurance and commitment to their relationship.

Shekinah, on her part, attested to the newfound ease in trusting Sarper, particularly after their move to the US. Reflecting on her earlier apprehensions in Turkey, she expressed relief at witnessing his unwavering focus on her amidst a new milieu. The shift in dynamics from Turkey to America brought its own set of challenges, with Shekinah adapting to a more assertive role in their relationship.

Recalling their initial interactions, Shekinah reminisced about her belief in Sarper’s capacity to evolve and eventually settle down. Despite the hurdles they faced, primarily in adjusting to a new cultural setting, she acknowledged the evolution of their partnership. In Turkey, Shekinah embraced a submissive role, while in America, she found herself taking the lead, navigating a shift in their dynamic.
