Winter Everett from The Family Chantel is in a new space and slimmer body these days, but her fans have always had her back, no matter what size she is. Winter is a necessary foil to Chantel Jimeno. Both sisters are smart, confident, beautiful women, but Winter stays grounded, whereas Chantel sometimes lets her ego get in the way. When it comes to any of her family drama, Winter knows how to stay in her lane, and she shows support when she can. While her health journey has been a topic on the show for some time, Winter’s beauty and charisma won over her audience long ago.
Similarly, Winter thrives at setting boundaries when it comes to her relationships. Many viewers were rooting for The Family Chantel's Winter to leave her longtime partner Jah, who seemed to take Winter for granted. Chantel and Winter frequently butted heads on the topic, and Winter opened up about how she'd never been as close as she could be with Chantel, after always being compared to her while she was growing up. Winter was defensive about her relationship with Jah at first. Therefore, it wasn’t easy to walk away after investing so much time and love in Jah and his daughter. However, things changed after Winter learned that Jah had another child he’d never told her about. After his sexist demand that Winter be subservient to him as his future wife, this was the last straw. Winter cut things off with Jah, and fans loved to see it.
The Family Chantel season 4 opens with Winter electing to have bariatric surgery after struggling with weight loss throughout her life. After getting the scoop from TikTok’s "Weight Loss Barbie," Winter, Chantel and Karen Everett flew to Tijuana, Mexico, so Winter could get the surgery for a lower rate. Chantel and Karen had their concerns, but wanted to support Winter’s choice to do what was right for her. Chantel, a registered nurse, ultimately gave her stamp of approval to the team of doctors who supported Winter. While Winter’s weight loss journey has brought her more attention in the press, Winter was a breakout star in the making long before changing her body. Winter felt empowered to do what she wanted with her own body. Fans have always respected her sense of agency, and considered her a natural beauty.
Now that the Jah break-up celebrations have settled down on Twitter, it’s all about Winter. She and Chantel are twerking in grocery stores, building the hype for her next romance. Winter said, “My cookies have been locked away for several years, and I’m only ready to share my cookies with the people who deserve it.” That means owning her heart, soul, and body, and getting back into the dating scene. Winter was getting to know a man named Masoma from Nigeria after connecting online. He seemed nice enough, but she ultimately ended things when he asked for financial support. Fans want to see Winter thrive, with a man who adores her by her side.
Next week, Winter will be getting into some rock climbing on a date with her friend, Chris. She said their energy is intense, and longtime fans are ready to see her at center stage as the romantic hero. However, Winter never needed a man or new body to be the heart and soul of The Family Chantel.
The Family Chantel airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
