Over the years, 90 Day Fiancé fans have grown attached to the co-stars and enjoy watching their journeys, but weight loss transformations of the franchise stars seem to inspire viewers. As the episodes and season fly by, viewers find themselves both loving and despising many of the 90 Day Fiancé stars, but they appreciate when co-stars thrive. Over the years, many franchise co-stars have shared their weight loss journeys. Anfisa Arkhipchenko from 90 Day Fiancé and the spin-off 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, lost 26 pounds, chased her passion in bodybuilding, and even placed in the top five for various competitions.
Danielle Jbali also appeared in two spin-offs, including 90 Day Fiancé: The Single Life. She lost over 15 pounds by eating healthier and incorporating more exercise. Paola Mayfield starred in several 90 Day Fiancé spin-offs and became a personal trainer and Zumba instructor. She even showed off her skills in professional wrestling.
However, some transformations are more fascinating. Perhaps it’s the dramatic transformation from the old vs new. Or maybe it’s the narrative behind the co-star. Regardless, some weight loss makeovers are more memorable.
Tiffany Franco – 70lbs
Tiffany Franco is known for her whirlwind romance with estranged husband Ronald Smith. At one point, Tiffany refused to visit Ronald in South Africa because of his juvenile ways. After laying a thick guilt trip about wanting to be with his family, Tiffany changed her mind, only to be dissatisfied. The riotous couple separated, which caused her to focus more on children and herself. Unfortunately, she wasn’t losing weight as she expected, so she underwent gastric sleeve surgery in June 2021. Since then she’s lost 70 pounds.
Angela Deem – 100lbs
Viewers witnessed the beginning of 90 Day Fiancé's Angela Deem’s transformation as she underwent weight loss and breast reduction surgery, instead of using the money for fertility treatments. She claimed it was for health as it was “hard to breathe” for her, but then reversed the breast reduction. Since the weight loss surgery, she has lost 100 pounds. Although some of the other alterations were also assisted by surgeries, the transformation from when she first appeared to now is certainly impressive. However, so was their relationship as fans fondly remember Angela’s forceful persona towards soft-spoken Michael Ilesanmi.
Jorge Nava – 128lbs
Jorge Nava and Anfisa were an infamous couple who were borderline abusive. Although they haven’t been on the show since 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 2 in 2017, fans have a hard time forgetting this couple. Their disorderly relationship ended when 90 Day Fiancé's Jorge was incarnated for having 293 pounds of marijuana in his car. During his two-and-a-half-year sentence, not only did he find the love of his life, but he also lost 128 pounds. He claimed feeling healthy and dropping the weight “became like an addiction.” In April 2021, Jorge welcomed his first baby with his new girlfriend Rhoda Blua.
These 90 Day Fiancé franchise co-stars certainly have a sordid history with fans, but they also have magnificent transformations. While 90 Day Fiancé is known for its villains, weight loss journeys can motivate—no matter the culprit. It also presents viewers with a different side of some of these infamous co-stars. In the end, with the new season of 90 Day Fiancé airing, fans are excited to see if anyone else will join the transformation journey.
