The extended 90 Day Fiancé franchise has featured many cast members who have profited off of their reality TV fame, but other personalities surprised audiences by holding jobs off-camera. Viewers have criticized a number of cast members for trying their luck as influencers and complaining about their financial situations rather than seeking out reliable careers. However, there are cast members who have steady jobs.
When 90 Day Fiancé first debuted in 2014, it aimed to take a realistic look at international couples marrying in the USA. As the show gained popularity, more couples began appearing in apparent bids to gain reality TV fame. This has led to the franchise being filled with allegedly exaggerated or scripted drama that has caused some cast members to be called out.
Some franchise faces who have tried to build careers online as influencers have been very successful. Stars such as Rose Vega and Anfisa Arkhipchenko Nava are popular on platforms including Instagram and YouTube. Other platforms where franchise stars are found include Cameo, TikTok, and (in some cases) OnlyFans. Those celebs are making money and gaining clout online. Nonetheless, some cast members still prefer to work off-camera, out of the spotlight.
Anna Campisi & Mursel Mistanoglu
Anna Mistanoglu Campisi and Mursel Mistanoglu from season 7 are currently featured in new content on 90 Day Diaries, although their return has depressed some franchise fans. However, there are fans who praise the married couple for their sweet and authentic relationship. Their supporters find them to be far more genuine than comparable couples. Anna and Mursel run Beauty & the Bees Honey. Anna started the business in 2015 due to her love of beekeeping. The couple provides their customers with local and natural honey. They also offer natural, high-quality products, such as teas, items for the home, and personal care products. Anna and Mursel even opened up a storefront location for their Beauty and the Bees Honey business last July.
Jovi Dufren
Jovi Dufren's career memorably keeps him traveling, which has upset his new wife Yara Zaya on season 6 of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? However, many fans don't know what exactly Jovi does. As an underwater robotics mechanic, Jovi travels the world on boats and is gone from home for weeks to months at a time. As an ROV operator, Jovi sends machines underwater (to depths of up to 12,000 feet) and remotely controls them from above the water. His work involves navigating the ROV and avoiding hazards. This is a job that provides Jovi with a reliable income, although it keeps him on the road. Many viewers are impressed with the party boy's career choice.
Omar Albakour
Omar Albakour and Avery Mills won over many fans with their relationship on 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days. The Syrian and American couple is unique in the franchise because both are serious about their studies. They are also dedicated to having careers outside of reality TV. The couple even moved from Dubai to New Jersey to further their education and work options. While Avery is studying healthcare administration, Omar is working towards a dentist certification in the United States. The couple announced in May that Omar had passed the INBDE for Dentistry in America. This means he will be certified to work as a general dentist in the USA after about two more years of schooling. Omar has been widely praised for his dedication to building his dentistry career and fans can’t get enough of the couple.
Molly Hopkins
Molly Hopkins is beloved for her humorous and straightforward personality and she is also a very impressive career woman. Along with her best friend Cynthia, Molly runs Livi Rae Lingerie. The Georgia-based lingerie store caters to many different types of customers and aims to be an all-inclusive destination. The company's mission is to help women feel comfortable and confident in their bodies. Molly and Cynthia previously starred in Double Divas before Molly's 90 Day Fiancé days. Double Divas featured the two women running their store, which Molly is the CEO of. Molly has stated that she would love to be featured with Cynthia in another show. Livi Rae Lingerie recently offered virtual bra fitting consultations during the height of COVID-19, to help women find bras that fit well during the pandemic.
Juliana Custodio
Juliana Custodio first raised the skepticism of fans when she married wealthy older American Michael Jessen in season 7. However, the beautiful Brazilian Juliana has proven that she is successful in her own right. She is also a kind-hearted person who is a fan favorite. The Brazilian bombshell continues to earn her living as an international model. In addition to modeling, Juliana also appears in music videos and promotes different products on social media. While many 90 Day Fiancé franchise stars have tried their hand at modeling, Juliana remains one of the most successful models in the franchise.
Lisa "Baby Girl" Hamme
Lisa Hamme, who memorably went by the nickname, "Baby Girl Lisa,” has a fulfilling career, but her job did shock fans given her franchise villain personality. The ex of Usman Umar and star of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way works as a hospice care worker. The revelation surprised viewers, given Lisa’s own health issues. She had to have a toe amputated. News about Lisa’s career came out after she accused her ex of using her to promote his music and gain fame. Usman fired back that he would have used someone wealthier had he been interested in scamming someone. Lisa is believed to earn a reasonable and steady salary at her job despite franchise fans trying to cancel her.
Natalie Mordovtseva
Natalie Mordovtseva is known for her zany antics, which continue to air on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? However, viewers were surprised to discover that the Ukrainian woman has acting credits in her home country. Natalie has infamously referred to herself as an actress, reality star, and journalist. In fact, the franchise star boasted about her alleged degrees in journalism and psychology. She has appeared in a number of acting roles and also posed for photos to earn a living before appearing on TLC. Natalie is rumored to be appearing on the next season of 90 Day: The Single Life if her marriage to Mike Youngquist is truly over.
90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? streams Fridays on Discovery+ and airs Sundays at 8pm on TLC.
