Ariela Weinberg was first featured on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 2, and since then, she has become more outspoken and confident. Viewers first met Ariela in June 2020 when she was pregnant with Biniyam Shibre's baby. During the season, Ariela got prenatal care in the United States and returned to Ethiopia to deliver the baby. Since Biniyam was previously married to an American woman and had a baby with her, Ariela's family didn't trust his intentions. Ariela's parents thought the Ethiopian native could be taking advantage of their daughter to come to the United States.
However, their perception changed gradually. Ariela's mother and father were still scared to let their daughter live in a third-world country, but they did start trusting Biniyam. Eventually, the couple welcomed their son, Aviel Shibre, and got engaged towards the end of the season. However, they are now again facing communication problems that may end their relationship. Ariela wants to distance Biniyam from his "evil" friends to save her family.
When Ariela first debuted on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 2, she described herself as a reluctant reality TV star. She didn't film the show to get famous but to boost Biniyam's career. While replying to a fan, she said, "We did the show because Bini is an entertainer. And I wanted the world to see his talent and get him opportunities. So he has some scene showcasing that." However, she has now removed "reluctant TV star" from her Instagram bio. Ariela, who used to be a private person and didn't like sharing her personal life, seems to be enjoying filming now. Once camera-shy Ariela now appears to be more confident overall. It looks like after receiving praise from viewers and garnering over 270K followers on Instagram, she has adapted to this new lifestyle that demands her to be more open and vulnerable on camera.
Since becoming a known face, Ariela has also changed her fashion sense and beauty style. Her old pictures suggest she used to prefer wearing comfy, cute, and loose-fitting clothing. She hardly has any makeup on in her throwback photos on Instagram, and her hair usually appears untied. However, Ariela now likes to wear glam makeup and stylish dresses. She also likes to style her hair in beautiful braids. Additionally, Ariela has opted for some cosmetic procedures like Botox and fillers in the past few months. Since she struggles with TMJ disorder, she got the injections around her jaw. Botox has helped her stop grinding her teeth, and the fillers on her lips have made her smile more even.
Ariela is one of the TLC stars who has transformed the most since becoming famous. Many viewers love her new confident persona and shower her with tons of positive comments on social media. However, others think she shouldn't have altered her natural look. At the end of the day, though, all that matters is Ariela being happy with the changes she has made since becoming more well-known. It is nice to see the 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way star feeling and looking confident.
90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EST on TLC.
