Emily Bieberly is one 90 Day Fiancé cast member who has been candid about her weight and the way her body has changed since giving birth. The wife of Kobe Blaise received a negative reception from 90 Day Fiancé fans for her demanding behavior during season 9 of the hit TLC show. However, 90 Day Fiancé viewers are more interested in Emily’s body transformation and fitness journey over the years.

When Emily met her now-husband Kobe in China, he was a working underwear model and she was incredibly in shape. Emily saw her body changing considerably during their two-year COVID-induced separation while Kobe awaited his K-1 visa to travel to the US and be with her and their son. When she gave birth to their first child, she realized that she was not quickly bouncing back to her pre-baby figure. Emily also became pregnant with a second child once Kobe joined her in the United States. However, she has since made strides to get back in shape.

Emily openly expressed her fears over Kobe seeing her for the first time in two years due to how much her physical appearance had changed. Many 90 Day Fiancé viewers were annoyed that one of his first comments was about how she gained weight. However, Kobe also appeared different to viewers compared to photos from his modeling days. While back-to-back pregnancies further delayed Emily’s fitness goal, she recently decided to embrace getting back into the swing of exercise. Emily champions gradual work rather than fast fixes.

Emily’s Pre-Baby Figure

The 90 Day Fiancé cast member's life was a lot different when she first met Kobe. On the show, Emily shared that she enjoyed nightlife in China, where she was living when she met her future husband. Beyond a thriving social life, Emily's past Instagram photos, dating back from 2016 when she was in her early 20s, often feature the reality star with a toned physique in workout attire. She appeared to have a very active lifestyle, and some 90 Day Fiancé fans failed to recognize Emily in her throwback photos.

Emily’s Pregnancy Changes

Pregnancy changed Emily’s body and the appearance of her face, and she discussed her insecurities that accompanied the changes. However, her primary concern was not how she viewed her body, but what her partner Kobe would think. Emily was very worried that their chemistry and sex life would suffer due to her new figure. However, she discovered that the spark between her and Kobe was definitely there.

Emily’s Current Progress

Since filming 90 Day Fiancé, Emily has given birth to her second child, and given her financial issues shown in the series, it’s unlikely that she will be having any more kids anytime soon. But her fitness journey is going great. Emily revealed before-and-after weight loss pics and said in April that she had already lost 18 pounds thanks to lifestyle changes. She explained to her followers that little changes are what lead to major results over time. By putting in consistent work, the 90 Day Fiancé newcomer is transforming her body gradually, and is helping viewers embrace body positivity.

90 Day Fiancé season 9 airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EDT on TLC.
