Chuck Potthast has been known to 90 Day Fiance fans as Andrei Castravet’s worst nightmare. When Andrei married Chuck’s daughter, Elizabeth, he wanted to ensure his little girl was not being used. Furthermore, he needed to know Andrei could pull his own weight in the relationship. This caused the two to butt heads quite frequently. However, all that is about to change as Chuck needs his family now more than ever.

90 Day Fiance Viewers Meet Chuck Potthast And Fam

Chuck first became a presence in Season 5 of 90 Day Fiance. His daughter, Elizabeth had met Andrei while she was in Ireland. A native of Moldova, Andrei was working as a bouncer in Ireland and the two started up a relationship. Andrei relocated to Florida to be with Elizabeth but quickly had trouble adapting as he was very controlling and brash. This caused much concern for her whole family, especially her father and sisters.

They believed Andrei was telling Elizabeth what to do and was not going to be able to pull his weight in the family. She had a part-time time job but Andrei cannot work because he is not a citizen yet. Furthermore, Chuck told Elizabeth he would not support her any longer as he wanted Andrei to step up to the plate. Due to this fact, the couple decided to get married much sooner so Andrei can get to work. They welcomed a daughter in 2019.
