If rumors are to be believed, 90 Day Fiancé’s Angela Deem is all set to get her solo spin-off. The reality TV star who’s slowly become the TLC show’s poster child for controversy recently announced her decision to get weight loss surgery. While her husband Michael may not agree with her plan, Angela has been meeting celebrity trainer Natasha Fett. Considering all the signs, the 90 Day Fiancé celeb’s spin-off is going to be a fitness-themed one, with Natasha as her guru and guide. But who is Natasha and where do reality TV fans know her from?
Here Comes Honey Boo Boo alum June Shannon AKA Mama June showed off the process of shedding 300 pounds of weight on her solo TV show. While the Mama June: From Not to Hot star underwent gastric sleeve surgery to get the ball rolling, the reality series chronicled her amazing transformation which June supported with equal parts exercise, nutrition, of course, drama. Perhaps that is what 90 Day Fiancé’s Angela too has in mind, after getting married to Nigerian husband Michael. As her in-laws incessantly demand the 54-year-old to have children, the Hazlehurst, GA resident has decided to focus on her fitness by getting a weight loss surgery. And this seems to have become a topic of interest for TLC who’s reportedly giving Angela her 90 Day Fiancé fitness spin-off. A huge hint about Angela’s solo show materializing was her meeting Natasha Fett, and the celebrity trainer sharing a picture with her new client on Instagram. Looks like Angela is all set to follow in Mama June’s footsteps who not only had Natasha producing Mama June: From Not to Hot but also training her to get that svelte shape.
With 191k and counting followers on Instagram, Natasha Fett, 44, describes herself as, “celeb personal trainer, chef, author, exec producer, and WeTV co-star on Mama June: From Not To Hot” in her bio. Natasha, who believes in the mantra of “There’s no secret to staying fit,” has worked with names such as Matthew McConaughey, Fergie, Nicole Eggret, and Alanis Morissette. Also a nutritionist, personal chef, and physical therapist as per her website, Natasha is from Los Angeles, California. Her LinkedIn states she’s received formal training in physical therapy, sports medicine, and anatomy from the University of Hamburg and been in the business since the year 2000.
The Ridiculously Human podcast shares that Natasha, who’s originally from Hamburg, Germany, stayed with her mom and twin brother after having lost her father tragically in a car accident. When young, Natasha was always athletic and competed in track and field, and when she was working with the Hamburg Football Team as a physical therapist, she developed an interest in food and nutrition. Natasha was 24 when she flew across to the States to live her dream. However, soon after she got her first client who happened to be a celebrity, Natasha discovered she was pregnant with her twins and ended up losing her job and got her visa canceled by her company. But Natasha’s sheer determination helped her secure both Josh Duhamel and Fergie as clients for personal training within five months of delivering the twins. The celebrity mom enjoys country music, the outdoors, hiking, but also spending time with her family at home.
While speaking to NYPost, the speculated 90 Day Fiancé spin-off star had revealed that she’d first met Mama June back in 2015 after her daughter Alana’s appearance on The Doctors. The child was the one supposed to lose weight due to an obesity warning, and Mama June’s manager Gina Rodriguez had asked Natasha to train the family. Back then, Natasha made fortnightly trips to Georgia to take them on hikes, grocery runs and even taught them how to cook. But while Honey Boo Boo didn’t lose weight, her mother did which prompted Natasha to focus on Mama June, so she could guide her kids in return.
Considering 90 Day Fiancé’s Angela has met both Gina and Natasha, a show very much on the lines of Mama June’s can be expected from her and TLC. Angela has addressed her excess weight being a health concern even though Michael strongly disagrees with her surgery. Still, if the surgery and the resultant fitness training guarantees Angela both a healthy life, and a new 90 Day Fiancé reality show, hopefully, Michael can just make peace with her fit and fabulous future!
