What Happened to Colt and Larissa from from 90 Day Fiancé? — 2025 Update

Back in 90 Day Fiancé Season 6, Colt Johnson was a 33‑year‑old software engineer from Las Vegas still living with his mom Debbie, while Larissa dos Santos Lima was a 31‑year‑old Brazilian fiancée arriving in the U.S. on a K‑1 visa. Their story started like a whirlwind — meeting in Cancún, getting engaged within five days, and rushing toward marriage under the 90‑day clock. Viewers were hooked from the start, watching explosive arguments, tearful reconciliations, and Debbie’s sharp disapproval unfold right alongside wedding plans. What followed was a chaotic marriage filled with arrests, accusations, and reality‑TV headlines that turned them into franchise icons. Today, in 2025, Colt and Larissa are on very different paths — yet both continue to make news, proving that their journey after the cameras stopped rolling is just as dramatic as what fans first saw on screen.

Background: How Colt and Larissa Met

• Colt and Larissa first connected online after Colt, frustrated with dating locally, turned to international platforms. Their first in‑person meeting took place in Cancún, Mexico, where Colt described seeing Larissa in “slow motion” and instantly feeling she was the one. After only five days together, he proposed and Larissa accepted — a whirlwind decision that would soon propel them into the world of reality TV.
• By the time filming began for 90 Day Fiancé Season 6, Colt was 33 years old, living in Las Vegas and working as a software engineer. Larissa, 31, entered the U.S. on a K‑1 visa to be with him, and their fast‑tracked engagement became one of the focal storylines of the season.
• Viewers were introduced to Larissa’s arrival at the Las Vegas airport, where Colt greeted her awkwardly without flowers, joking about parking fees and vending‑machine bouquets. He complimented her beauty and expressed excitement to show her the city and the house where she would soon live. This uneasy start highlighted both Colt’s quirky personality and Larissa’s expectations, laying the groundwork for their clashes.
• Once Larissa moved into Colt’s home, early conflicts escalated. She disliked the house, complained about the Las Vegas heat, and questioned his slot machine in the bedroom. Colt tried to reassure her by saying he left the home undecorated so she could design it as her own, while his mother Debbie tearfully admitted she had hoped the transition would be easier.
• Tensions deepened further during furniture shopping trips when Debbie revealed she and Colt shared a joint bank account and credit card since his teenage years, leaving her in control of household spending. Larissa felt restricted, while Debbie defended her financial oversight — an early glimpse of the power struggles that would define the household dynamic.
• Everyday life quickly devolved into arguments. At one dinner, Colt described Larissa as a “fiery spark,” but the meal erupted into accusations about work, family obligations, and Colt’s emotional availability. The fight ended with Colt calling Larissa “bat [s**t] crazy,” underscoring how rapidly their relationship unraveled in front of the cameras.
• Before the wedding, conflict extended beyond the household. In one explosive encounter, Larissa clashed with Colt’s cousin John, who accused her of being with Colt only for money and dismissed the relationship as fake. The shouting match, filled with insults and anger, reflected the deep skepticism within Colt’s family circle. Larissa defended herself, insisting that true love meant fighting and enduring for each other, while Colt admitted he struggled with the constant yelling and wished everyone would calm down. This altercation underscored the lack of family support for their union even before they officially married.

Their volatile dynamic made for gripping television — but ultimately, real life didn’t smooth things out.

Their Wedding on 90 Day Fiancé

Colt and Larissa’s wedding took place in Las Vegas on June 24, 2018, after they obtained a marriage license earlier that month. The ceremony was held at the Chapel of the Flowers, one of the city’s most popular small wedding venues. Despite months of fighting and cultural clashes, they decided to move forward with their marriage.

Larissa walked down the aisle in an off‑the‑shoulder lace gown with a long veil, a dress she proudly revealed came from Goodwill for only $150. She carried a bouquet of pink and white roses, while Colt kept his look understated in a tan suit paired with a pink tie. The small gathering included Debbie, Colt’s mother, and a few close friends. Even cousin John — who had accused Larissa of being after Colt’s money — showed up despite her earlier attempts to uninvite him.

The ceremony itself was simple and intimate. The couple exchanged vows before a handful of seated guests in a modest chapel decorated with a few rows of chairs, floral arrangements, and children among the attendees. Compared with the lavish weddings often seen on the show, their celebration stood out for its modesty — a reflection of Colt’s practicality and the financial strains that had already caused tension.

Although they said “I do,” disagreements over costs and Larissa’s desire for a more glamorous wedding hovered in the background. The day symbolized their commitment but also foreshadowed the cracks in the relationship that would soon widen.

Cracks After the Wedding

On Happily Ever After?, the cracks in Colt and Larissa’s marriage became increasingly visible. One notable episode centered on a heated fight in which Larissa admitted she had flushed her wedding ring down the toilet. Colt described the sound of the flush as devastating, while Debbie scolded Larissa for discarding something Colt had worked hard to buy. The incident became symbolic of the instability in their marriage, prompting Debbie to question why the pair wanted to remain together. The conflict also revealed the growing hostility between Debbie and Larissa, with Colt caught in the middle and struggling to manage the tension.

Their inability to communicate as a couple was another recurring theme. Colt accused Larissa of demanding expensive items such as dresses and makeup, while dismissing his attempts to talk as “ranting.” He admitted he could not even communicate with her as a friend, while Larissa expressed her frustration and unhappiness. These episodes highlighted how miscommunication, material disputes, and resentment had come to define their marriage.

Another dramatic revelation unfolded when Larissa disclosed she had children living in Brazil. She explained that she had kept this from Colt’s family out of fear of judgment, particularly because of Debbie’s devotion to her son. Debbie responded with anger at being left out of such an important detail, saying she felt excluded from family matters. The disclosure exposed Larissa’s insecurities while deepening the rift between her and Debbie, adding more pressure to an already fragile household dynamic.

The Breakup: From Arrests to Divorce

• Colt filed for divorce on January 11, 2019, just one day after Larissa was arrested at their Las Vegas home for domestic battery for the third time. His mother Debbie paid the $299 filing fee, and court records show he also filed a joint preliminary injunction and affidavit of resident witness.
• The January arrest followed an explosive fight in which Colt alleged Larissa became violent. She countered that she scratched him only because “he was hurting me.” It was the latest in a string of incidents: an earlier November 2018 domestic battery case had been dismissed, but the January charges went forward.
• In the aftermath, Larissa went on Instagram Live asking fans for help paying for three lawyers — one for the battery case, one for her divorce, and one for her immigration issues. Meanwhile, Colt issued a statement outlining all the support he said he had provided Larissa, from clothing and gym access to ESL classes and financial help for business ventures, portraying himself as the one trying to make the marriage work.
• Immigration concerns loomed as well: with Colt rescinding his affidavit of support, Larissa’s ability to remain in the U.S. became uncertain. She faced fears of deportation alongside her criminal cases.
• Their divorce was finalized in May 2019, with an agreement that neither would publicly disparage the other. However, Larissa’s legal troubles and her public feuds with Debbie continued to make headlines even after the split.

After the dust settled, both Colt and Larissa attempted to move on — but in very different directions.

What They’re Doing Now (as of 2025)

Colt Johnson

Colt has remained a familiar face in the 90 Day Fiancé universe, with his journey after Larissa unfolding in stages that kept fans talking.

• Post-Larissa Relationships: After his divorce, Colt entered a relationship with Jess Caroline. Their romance unraveled on The Single Life, where Jess accused him of dishonesty and disrespect, especially after discovering he let Vanessa Guerra move in without telling her. She called him “not man enough,” while Colt admitted he had been a poor boyfriend. Jess ended things decisively, calling him a source of stress. This chapter highlighted Colt’s impulsive decisions and messy entanglements.
• Vanessa Guerra Storyline: Soon after, Colt’s complicated friendship with Vanessa deepened. At first Vanessa resisted, citing trust issues, but Colt pursued her with persistence — planning elaborate dates, involving his family, and eventually arranging a private dinner where he asked her to be his girlfriend. A pivotal moment came when the pair met with Jess and her husband Brian. Colt confessed he had slept with Vanessa before ending things with Jess, while Vanessa admitted to seeing Colt while he was still with Larissa. Jess, hurt but vindicated, heard Colt say, “I lied to you about Vanessa. I lied to you that I was in love with her.” This attempt at accountability marked a turning point in Colt and Vanessa’s bond.
• Engagement to Vanessa → Marriage & 2025 Status: Colt proposed to Vanessa during a lakeside picnic on The Single Life, and she accepted. Off‑camera, they secretly married in Reno, Nevada, on February 28, 2021. In October 2021, Colt revealed that Vanessa had suffered a miscarriage, writing on Instagram that they had imagined a future with their child but were heartbroken that “they will no longer be joining us.” In April 2024, Vanessa filed for divorce in Nevada, but the case was dismissed without prejudice in May 2024, meaning it wasn’t finalized and could be re‑filed. As of September 2025, Colt’s participation in 90 Day: Hunt for Love underscores that the couple have effectively separated.

• Health Scare and Recovery: In late 2022, while filming another spin‑off, Colt suffered a severe trampoline accident that left him with a broken leg and torn meniscus. Multiple surgeries and months of rehabilitation followed, and at one point fans feared he might need a leg amputation. By 2024, he confirmed he was recovering, and he was shown walking unassisted in later episodes.
• 40th Birthday Reflection (2025): In June 2025, Colt marked his 40th birthday with an Instagram post reflecting on his journey. He revealed that one year earlier, he had left Reno and “left [his] life behind for parts unknown.” He wrote, “This year has been one of if not the most significant years of my life. I reunited with lost family members, traveled the world and hunted for love, but let me tell you, the best is yet to come.” This milestone underscored how much change Colt has experienced recently and how he continues to frame his life as a work in progress.
• Current Appearance (2025): As of 2025, Colt appears on the spin‑off 90 Day: Hunt for Love, filmed in Tulum, Mexico. During filming, he suffered a fall on a wet deck near fellow cast member Cortney Reardanz’s room and had to be airlifted to a hospital in Playa del Carmen. On Instagram, Colt later revealed in July 2025, that the first hospital in Tulum could not handle his injuries because his fractures risked internal bleeding if moved too much. He was transferred an hour away to Playa del Carmen, where surgeons operated successfully. Colt thanked the medical team for their professionalism and noted he was treated with fentanyl patches and constant monitoring during recovery. He credited their care for helping him through a very dangerous period, saying he felt “lucky to have such a great team work with me during this difficult time.”

• Car Accident (2025): In August 2025, Colt made headlines again after posting on Instagram that he had been in a car accident. He reassured fans he was still healing but doing better. These repeated health scares, paired with his ongoing presence in the 90 Day spin‑offs, have kept him a central — and often controversial — figure in the franchise’s extended story.

Larissa dos Santos Lima

After her split from Colt, Larissa remained one of the most talked‑about alumni of the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. Following their 2019 divorce, she openly pursued a public career in entertainment, modeling, and digital content creation. Larissa underwent multiple cosmetic surgeries, many of which she discussed on TLC spin‑offs and later on her own social media platforms, making her transformation a central part of her identity within the fan community.

Her most notable relationship after Colt was with Eric Nichols. The two began dating in 2019, lived together in Las Vegas, and their rocky romance was featured on Happily Ever After?. They broke up and reconciled more than once before parting ways for good, with Larissa later confirming in 2023 that they were only friends. During their time together, she also relocated briefly to Colorado before eventually moving again.

Larissa’s legal and immigration troubles continued to follow her. In September 2020, she was briefly detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) while preparing to move with Eric. Her representatives described it as a misunderstanding, and she was released the same day. Larissa later reassured fans that she was “good to go” and remained in the United States.

By 2021, she was no longer under TLC contract, having been released from the franchise after controversies surrounding her online work. Since then, she has built her career independently through platforms like OnlyFans and social media promotions, emphasizing autonomy over her image and income.

In 2025, Larissa expanded her career with an appearance on Plastic Surgery Rewind, a reality series documenting cosmetic transformations. On the show and on Instagram, she shared behind‑the‑scenes details of her breast implant reduction. She explained that she transitioned from large saline implants to softer silicone implants placed under the muscle for a more natural, teardrop look. Larissa spoke openly about the scars and recovery process, saying she prioritized long‑term health and comfort over the stiff, “ball‑like” appearance of her previous implants. She noted that at the six‑month mark, the implants settled into their natural shape, which she described as the result of both “nature and good planning.”

Beyond the surgeries themselves, Larissa used the show to reflect on her past. She admitted that in earlier relationships she felt pressured to compete with other women through bigger curves and more extreme procedures. Now, she says she has stopped chasing validation and is focused on self‑acceptance. In August 2025 posts, she celebrated her birthday by declaring she felt “sharper, stronger, and happier than ever,” emphasizing that her latest changes were made for herself rather than anyone else.

She also described the experience of filming Plastic Surgery Rewind as empowering, praising her castmates for bringing humor and heart to the series. Larissa highlighted that her journey was about more than beauty — it was about reclaiming confidence and redefining herself on her own terms. She expressed gratitude for the opportunity to show viewers the emotional side of transformation, not just the physical.

As of now, Larissa has not remarried but continues to remain active on social media, where she shares lifestyle updates, business ventures, and personal reflections. Her ongoing evolution — both physical and emotional — has kept her a prominent figure in the 90 Day Fiancé community and beyond.
