Popular 90 Day Fiancé star Ariela Weinberg had an incredible weight loss journey, but some fans think that her personality was more likable before the transformation. TLC viewers may know the New Jersey native from 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 2 in 2020, where she appeared alongside her baby daddy, Biniyam Shibre. When Ariela first debuted on the show, she was a pregnant woman, whose shape was changing as she was expecting. She delivered her first son through an emergency C-section, and has since been on a weight loss journey. Fast forward two years, and Ariela now looks almost unrecognizable, on and offscreen.
The 31-year-old 90 Day Fiancé reality star previously revealed that breastfeeding her child helped her to slim down. So did working out with her beau. Ariela shared that she had lost 50 pounds after her son's birth. In the past year, she has also opted for cosmetic procedures like lip fillers, which she believes have enhanced her appearance and corrected her uneven smile. While Ariela is happy with how she looks after getting those procedures and losing weight, some viewers aren't pleased with how much she has changed over time.
One of the biggest reasons why some fans liked Ariela during 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 2 was her aura. At the time, she was a pregnant woman who wasn't into a lot of glitz and glamour, so she was very relatable. In a show filled with female cast members who are a bit too concerned about their looks, Ariela was a breath of fresh air due to her minimal usage of makeup. She didn't chase Instagram influencer clout, and cared about more than her looks. However, since weight loss, Ariela seemed more focused on image. She clearly wants to put her best foot forward, and some fans don't find her as authentic or interesting.
Another reason why fans liked the old Ariela was her outfit choices and fashion sense. Back in the day, she loved wearing traditional Ethiopian outfits, especially during her pregnancy. Viewers found that to be unique, as it made Ariela look like a cute mom instead of a sassy wannabe influencer. One of her throwback pictures from 2021 shows how drastically her personal style changed after weight loss, which is something that certain followers do not appreciate. Lately, she gets mocked for dressing up in revealing outfits.
Fans think that Ariela has become a spoiled brat after achieving her fitness goals. She almost demanded that her parents pay her rent in the United States, as well as her other bills, until she could find a way to finance her lifestyle. During 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 2, most viewers saw her as a responsible woman who wasn't shy about working hard to achieve her goals. However, according to some 90 Day Fiancé fans, Ariela has become a completely new person after slimming down, who is less likable and more annoying.
