Jesse Meester entered the 90 Day Fiancé franchise on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, but has since moved on to become one of the most followed cast members of all time. Jesse is highly controversial in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, as many viewers (and some cast members) consider the Dutchman to be a villain and potential con artist. However, Jesse has defied his critics to lead a seemingly successful life since he first entered the extended 90 Day Fiancé franchise.

Jesse quickly rose to franchise infamy due to his chaotic relationship with American twin Darcey Silva. The couple met online and spent time in Jesse’s native Amsterdam before making their romance public on TLC. The former couple shared a tumultuous relationship that resulted in a split and accusations from both sides. While Jesse called Darcey manipulative and dramatic, Darcey fired back that Jesse was the manipulator as well as a user. Darcey has since moved on to star in Darcey & Stacey with her twin sister, while Jesse surprised viewers by also continuing in the franchise despite his status as a villain.

After his split from Darcey, 90 Day Fiancé figure Jesse spent some time single before he started dating again. Jesse then joined the cast of 90 Day: The Single Life season 2 where he started dating fellow Before the 90 Days cast member Jeniffer Tarazona. This led to Jesse and Jeniffer being on bad terms with Jeniffer’s ex Tim Malcolm and his best friend Veronica Rodriguez. Many 90 Day Fiancé fans sided with Tim after Jesse insulted him and questioned his sexuality. Jesse and Jeniffer earned flack from viewers for their seemingly staged and scripted romance. However, they became engaged despite claims that they were faking their romance for clout.

Jesse currently has an impressive 1.2 million Instagram followers following his time in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. He uses his social media to show off his luxurious lifestyle, as well as to promote his ventures and earn money through paid partnerships. Jesse lists himself as an “actor” and has “Marketing Agency • NFTs & DeFi • Luxury Real Estate & Travel” written in his bio. Jesse also has his own online shop that sells custom jewelry and personal merchandise. Meanwhile, he offers pricey life coaching services, has a podcast, and claims to have a book as well. Jesse also has a blog, is active on TikTok and YouTube, and offers paid cameos to 90 Day Fiancé fans. Meanwhile, Jesse enjoys showing off his many travels and discussing his spirituality with his followers.

Though he is clearly successful since entering the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, Jesse remains heavily criticized by many viewers. Many fans question Jesse’s source of income, as he boasts an incredibly wealthy lifestyle online. But viewers are confused as to how Jesse has obtained such apparent wealth. Mostly, fans dislike Jesse for his attitude and potentially duplicitous personality. However, Jesse continues to defy his 90 Day Fiancé franchise critics as he promotes his many ventures and lives his most glamorous life online.
