Many 90 Day Fiancé cast members have found fame after reality TV, and we've gathered information about the franchise stars who have worked as models. Some are still active in franchise shows, while others have turned to social media or exited the franchise altogether. Cast members who want to model aren't anything new. In fact, the desire to model has been at the center of several plotlines, and some conservative partners are hesitant to see their wives showing a lot of skin.
When it comes to modeling, other partners have tried to force their spouses to give professional posing a try. Loren Goldstone insisted that Alexei Brovarnik try modeling, though he wanted to be a first responder. Meanwhile, Aika was pressured to model in America by her husband Josh Batterson. On the other hand, franchise villain Leida Margaretha claimed to be a model back in Indonesia, as well as an actress, teacher, and med school graduate. However, viewers doubt her stories.
Juliana Custodio
Juliana Custodio from season 7 is by far the most successful model in the franchise. The Brazilian beauty traveled the world for her modeling jobs before meeting her older American husband, Michael Jessen. After appearing on one season of the show, Julia has continued her thriving modeling career. The tall and lanky beauty poses for magazines and appears in music videos. She frequently wows her followers with her stunning shots. While some franchise stars enjoy posing for pictures, Juliana has turned her passion for modeling into a successful career.
Paola Mayfield
Paola Mayfield from season one was interested in embarking on a modeling career when she joined Russ Mayfield in the United States. The fiery Colombian was comfortable flaunting her body, but her conservative husband initially didn’t support her penchant for posing while wearing very little. Seven years later, Russ appears to fully support his wife, who frequently shows off her body. He even appears beside her in some of her steamy social media content. Paola is involved in the fitness niche and enjoys sharing photoshoots to her Instagram and TikTok accounts.
Rose Vega
Rose Vega saw her star potential blow up after dumping Big Ed on 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days. The single mom from the Philippines has launched a successful influencer career that frequently includes photoshoots. Rose recently reached 700,000 subscribers on YouTube and collaborates with brands on Instagram. Her efforts generate reliable income. Rose loves being in front of a camera and appears to be a natural when it comes to her modeling career.
Anfisa Arkhipchenko
Anfisa Arkhipchenko is one cast member who completely broke away from the franchise to carve out her own success. The Russian beauty has been open about her plastic surgery procedures, but it is her dedication to fitness that had given her an enviably toned figure. Anfisa shares many fitness photoshoots to support her business ventures on Instagram. The brunette beauty is considered one of the most successful and beautiful women in the franchise, even though her explosive "gold digger" personality wasn’t for everyone.
Kirlyam Cox
Season one's Kirlyam Cox is considered one of the most beautiful women in the franchise. When the Brazilian beauty joined Alan Cox in the U.S. (they had a forced separation at one point), she initially wanted to explore modeling. However, her conservative Mormon husband didn’t feel comfortable with his wife revealing her body. Kirlyam currently appears content with motherhood and seems to have left her modeling dreams in the past. She opted for a quieter, family-centered life.
Natalie Mordovtseva
Natalie Mordovtseva is best remembered for her explosive fights with Mike Youngquist. However, the curly-haired blonde shocked fans by revealing some formerly unseen modeling pics from Kyiv, Ukraine. Before meeting Mike, Natalie modeled and worked as an actress. She was cast in Ukrainian true crime shows. She is currently one of three franchise women competing to be a Maxim cover girl. Though Natalie has admitted to putting on weight since coming to the United States, she hasn't been shy about telling Mike that she thinks she's too good looking for him.
Julia Trubkina
Julia Trubkina also announced that she will be trying her luck at modeling. The 27-year-old Russian dancer is competing to be a Maxim cover girl as well. Julia shared that she loves being photographed and considers herself attractive. The dancer stays in top shape thanks to her dedication to fitness. Julia has been vocal about her love of exercise and used to be a competitive bodybuilder. She has shared her old bodybuilder pics. The wife of Brandon Gibbs is now interested in trying her luck at modeling in the United States. In the past, Julia has worked many jobs and was employed as a go-go dancer. A recent 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? appearance showed the brunette beauty hoping to move to Las Vegas, possibly to further her career goals.
Larissa Lima
Larissa Lima is another former cast member who hopes to be a Maxim cover girl. She even has her former mother-in-law Debbie Johnson backing her career move. The mother of two has chronicled her expensive plastic surgery journey to her fans. Larissa has spent tens of thousands of dollars altering her appearance and enjoys showing off her work. Though she doesn’t appear to have any modeling jobs at the moment, the Brazilian bombshell earns considerable money from her social media photoshoots. Larissa enjoys wearing lingerie on Instagram and OnlyFans and has earned big money through her virtual ventures. She memorably was fired from the 90 Day Fiancé franchise after she appeared in an online lingerie show. However, she hasn't let that setback negatively impact her career.
