He mentioned that despite the tensions and drama seen on TV, their real relationship was much deeper than what was portrayed.
Chuck’s passing was announced by Elizabeth and Andrei in a joint Instagram post, revealing that he had passed away two weeks prior.

Andrei reminisced about the moments they spent laughing and joking together, showing a side of their relationship not often seen on the show.
The relationship between Andrei and Chuck was not without its challenges, as viewers witnessed their disagreements and clashes over the years. From accusations of unemployment to a physical altercation with Chuck’s son Charlie, the dynamic between the two men was complex.

Elizabeth and Andrei first met on a dating app, eventually tying the knot in 2017. They have since welcomed two children, daughter Eleanor and son Winston. The couple’s journey on “90 Day Fiancé” has been filled with ups and downs, but their love for each other and their family remains strong.
The loss of Chuck Potthast has undoubtedly left a void in the Castravet family, but their memories and love for him will endure. As they navigate this challenging time, fans continue to show their support and send condolences to the grieving family.
