90 Day Fiancé star Elizabeth "Libby" Potthast recently teased a new song on her Instagram story, for her daughter Eleanor's fourth birthday. Libby first appeared with her husband Andrei Castravet on 90 Day Fiancé season 5, when the two got married after Andrei moved to Florida to begin a new life with Libby. The couple later returned for four subsequent seasons of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, where they began to grow their family as well as venture into new careers. Andrei decided to get into the real estate business, while Libby decided to pursue her dream of singing children songs after working for her father Chuck Potthast for several years.
In honor of Eleanor's fourth birthday, 90 Day Fiancé's Libby Potthast teased a new birthday song that she had recorded for her on her Instagram story. Libby shared an excerpt of the new song titled "Ellie's World-Happy Birthday," which was shown to be two minutes and 18 seconds long. Libby captioned the post, "Preview of Ellie's Birthday song sung by Momma." Libby also added that the full song would be available on January 21st, the same day as Eleanor's big fourth birthday party bash. While Libby used the classic happy birthday song as inspiration, she also added her own personal touch to make it unique to her and Eleanor.
There Are Mixed Opinions On 90 Day Fiancé Star Libby's Singing
Libby's new singing career was one of her main storylines on Happily Ever After? season 7, although there have mixed opinions about her talent. During the Happily Ever After? season 7 Tell-All, host Shaun Robinson asked Libby to sing one of her songs for the cast, and she chose to showcase her vocals by singing the famous children's song "Mary Had A Little Lamb." While many of Libby's fellow cast members were impressed, social media commenters were not. There have been several comments about Libby's vocals that claim she sounds too forced, and that she does not have enough talent to make it big in the music industry.
On the other hand, Libby has also gotten feedback that her version of the song was adorable and that she has a nice voice. Libby explained at the Tell-All that she enjoyed singing with Eleanor, which many of her fellow cast members found to be sweet. While there may be divided opinions on Libby's singing, it is clear that she is much happier with singing than she was working at Chuck's office doing clerical work. Even if Libby's singing is not perfect, it is important that she is focusing on a career that she enjoys not only on her own, but with her daughter as well.
While Libby and Andrei have not always been 90 Day Fiancé fan favorites, they have grown on viewers throughout their time on Happily Ever After? Libby and Andrei are notorious for having drama with Libby's family, although now it seems that much of the conflict between them stems from Libby's family as opposed to Andrei. Libby and Andrei have made it clear that their main priority is keeping their own family together and healthy, which is respectable. While Libby's singing may not be beloved by all, it is clear that it makes her and Eleanor happy, which is enough of a reason for her to continue on with it.
