There’s no closer parent-child duo on 90 Day Fiancé than Colt Johnson and his mother Debbie, and she recently shared some nostalgic photos in honor of her son’s birthday. Fans have criticized Debbie for many reasons, but there’s no denying that she loves Colt. For his 36th birthday, Debbie reminisced about his childhood and gave fans a look at baby Coltee, and her followers enjoyed the blast from the past.
Colt has had quite the journey throughout his time on the franchise, from his marriage to Larissa, to his relationship with Jess, and now his second marriage to Vanessa—and Debbie was there through it all. Debbie is an unlikely star of the series, and her verbal blowups with Larissa and Big Ed on The Single Life Tell-All are legendary in the franchise. On social media, Debbie often shares throwback photos that give followers a window into what her life was like before 90 Day Fiancé, and it often shows a different side of her.
Debbie took to her Instagram with a series of photos from Colt’s childhood in honor of his recent birthday. “Happy Birthday Coltee, 36 years old. You’re [sic] come a long way baby. I’m so proud of you each and every day. @savagecoltj Love you always,” she captioned the post. The photos include a shot of her with Colt as an infant, Colt posing with his deceased father, and one of Colt on a fishing trip.
Colt’s 36th birthday seems to be a big turning point in his and Debbie’s relationship. He’s lived with her for decades, and the mother and son duo are undeniably close. But as Colt nears the end of his 30s and starts his life with Vanessa, he’ll inevitably be moving out and spending less time with Debbie—though Colt has sworn he’ll never abandon Debbie. Now, on his birthday, it’s natural for Debbie to get a little nostalgic about her son as he turns this corner in his life.
Fans might not always love Colt and Debbie, but there’s no denying that they’re some of the most memorable stars in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. There’s been a lot of Colt and Debbie on the show and spin-offs throughout the years, so it’s always interesting to see flashbacks of their lives before the franchise. And though Colt is finally gaining some more independence, that doesn’t mean his mom Debbie can’t still lovingly embarrass him on social media with his baby pictures.
