90 Day Fiancé fans have applauded Michael Jessen for his beautiful patchwork family, and fans are now declaring Michael’s children to be some of the sweetest to appear in the franchise. Michael and his ex-wife, Sara Naso, have managed to wonderfully co-parent their children while also including Michael’s wife, Juliana Custodio, into their family. Michael’s children received a warm reception from 90 Day Fiancé fans as the older American celebrated his son Maxwell’s birthday along with Maxwell and his sister, Cece.

Michael and Juliana initially were harshly judged by fans when they were introduced on 90 Day Fiancé season 7. Viewers were convinced the young Brazilian model was marrying wealthy older American Michael for his finances. However, Juliana proved to be one of the sweetest and most genuine cast members to appear in the franchise. The international model won over Michael’s ex-wife, Sara, which even led to Sara officiating Michael and Juliana’s wedding. Michael and Juliana have remained happily married and very close to Sara, Maxwell and Cece.

A Reddit user shared Michael’s recent Instagram post to Reddit that saw Michael celebrating Maxwell's birthday along with Cece. Reddit commenters eagerly expressed their fondness for Maxwell and Cece. “Hands down the best kids in the 90 day franchise,” one top comment read. Others were excited to receive a reminder about the sweet children Michael and Sara raised. “Omg I f****** loved those kids I completely forgot all about them. Both AMAZING kids and there [sic] parents did a great job raising them,” another enthusiast commenter wrote. “I can't remember their names, but those kids were just delightful. They were so polite and caring. Beautiful photo,” another fan wrote in praise.

Many viewers consider Michael, Sara and Juliana the ultimate example of how to form a patchwork family. 90 Day Fiancé fans have also become particularly fond of a number of franchise children. In addition to Maxwell and Cece, Tiffany Franco Smith’s son, Daniel, and Armando Rubio’s daughter, Hannah, are also beloved. Maxwell and Cece appear to hold a special place for many 90 Day Fiancé viewers. “I hope when I have kids they are as sweet as these two,” another fan wrote. Others expressed concern over their mother, Sara, since she was reported to have cancer last year. Some viewers also speculated over the status of Michael and Juliana, as they questioned if the married couple was still together.

Unfortunately, not all blended families have been as successful as the Jessen family. 90 Day Fiancé season 6 cast member Leida Margaretha and her husband, Eric Rosenbrook, remain one of the biggest villain couples for the way they treated Eric’s daughter. Leida infamously kicked Eric’s teen daughter out and obtained a restraining order against her, making Leida one of the most notorious 90 Day Fiancé villains of all time. While Eric backed his wife over his own child, Michael has balanced his love for all of his family members. Many 90 Day Fiancé fans have greatly changed their initial perception of Michael and Juliana, and now consider them a sweet and successful franchise couple.
