Siesta Key: Miami Moves may be focused on the relationship drama going on in Sam Logan and Jordana Barnes' lives, but the two are also starting a business together. Juliette Porter introduced Sam to the MTV reality tv series when the two were in a relationship, and even after their split, he remains a cast member. What their costars found most interesting about him was that he's a billionaire. Sam's money seems to come from his parents, and it's unclear if he ever had a job before joining Siesta Key. However, that didn't stop him from buying mansions and funding his friends' lifestyles.
While Siesta Key: Miami Moves follows the drama in Sam Logan and Jordana Barnes' friendship, it also touches on the Faux Fur company they're building together. Sam is done living off of his family's money and is ready to build a fortune of his own. Jordana told her friend and Sam's current love interest Meghan Bischoff that Sam is funding the company, but she's helping him with the designs. She even showed Meghan a sketch she did on her iPad of a green puffy fur jacket. Jordana has shown her artwork throughout the series, and the first time she ever appeared on Siesta Key was when Sam paid her $10,000 to paint a portrait of Juliette. She has many of her paintings hanging around Sam's Miami mansion, and last season, her costars joined her for an art show honoring her late brother and her connection to butterflies.
Sam & Jordana Can Get Business Advice From Their Siesta Key Costars
While the Siesta Key stars haven't said much else about the company yet, fans discovered an Instagram story in September with details about a launch party. According to the advertisement shared on Reddit by Basic_Ad_6023, the company is called Fauxcus, and there was a Winter Wonderland-themed promo event for it on September 9th. The event was in collaboration with Sam and Jordana's friend Mike Vazquez, and Juliette's friend Kelly Firek. The Instagram story also mentions that the party was being filmed for an episode of Siesta Key. One fan suggested, "It seems like this company was Kelly's idea, and she needed someone to fund it, and Sam was willing, but that came with Jordana and mike getting creds for it too."
It's become pretty popular for Siesta Key stars to venture into their own businesses, so it's no surprise Sam and Jordana joined in. After leaving her modeling career, Kelsey Owens started a swimsuit line called ByKelseyOwens, which has since been discontinued. Not long after, Juliette founded JMP The Label, which has been a massive success and has been featured in Sports Illustrated. Cara Geswelli also has a jewelry line called The Same Circle, and Chloe Long launched her skincare brand Emerald Ray Botanicals this year. With the same hard work and promotion, Sam and Jordana will see the success that their Siesta Key costars have seen. Miami is also a much better location for them to launch their business than Sarasota, as there are far more opportunities in the big city.
The business seems to still be in development, as there isn't much information about it online. However, Siesta Key: Miami Moves will be a great opportunity to promote the brand, though they'll have to fight with JMP The Label for some screentime. Contrary to popular belief, money can't buy success, and it actually takes a lot of hard work. Hopefully, Sam is ready to put his money where his mouth is, and Jordana has been drawing up some of the best work of her artistic career. If they want to make it in Miami, maybe they can get some tips from Juliette.
Siesta Key Miami Moves airs Thursdays at 8 pm on MTV.
