The 90 Day Fiancé franchise has many cast members who became more popular after appearing on the show, but not all of them evolved to be better than before. One such star is Natalie Mordovtseva, who was previously a fan-favorite for her unique personality, goals, and free-spirited nature. Unfortunately, the Ukrainian woman became a villain after 90 Day Fiancé season 8, as she began rapidly chasing clout and finding new ways to become more controversial. Natalie has also been part of various scandals, including when she allegedly asked another reality TV star to fake a relationship to be on another show.
Big Ed Brown’s lover Liz Woods is another 90 Day Fiancé franchise star who lost all the charm after becoming mildly famous on the show. When the San Diego woman appeared on 90 Day: The Single Life, she seemed like a confident single mom who saw the red flags in her relationship and was down-to-earth. Unfortunately, Big Ed’s fame and personality affected Liz, making her more controversial than ever. While many cast members changed for the worse, some stars have become so popular over the years, that their reality TV reputations don’t matter anymore.
10 Stephanie Matto
Stephanie Matto pursued Erika Owens on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. Stephanie was a clout chaser from the moment she debuted on the show, and her actions were mocked after viewers watched her inauthentic relationship and breakup with Erika. Despite that, Stephanie returned on The Single Life with a new story about abstinence, this time wanting to date a guy. Her journeys didn’t end well on either show. Still, Stephanie was able to leverage her reality TV fame and build an adult content empire that still stands to this day. Over the years, she has risen in popularity by selling fart jars, weird NFTs, and sweat.
9 Rosemarie Vega
While Stephanie has become famous for creating controversies, Rosemarie Vega has earned her popularity by creating a brand around her name. The single mom made a name for herself when she debuted on Before the 90 Days, hoping to marry Big Ed. However, she faced a lot of harassment from the San Diego man, leading her to snap and stand up for herself on the show. After Rose dumped Big Ed, she gained a lot of fans for her bold attitude. She then used that fame to popularize her YouTube channel and build a modeling career. Rose has thrived in every area due to her hard work.
8 Miona Bell
Miona Bell knew she would be popular when she debuted in 90 Day Fiancé season 9. However, she wasn’t expected to be a millionaire in less than a year of appearing on the show. Miona had a plan in mind from the moment she flew to America. She wanted to move to Palm Springs and start her beauty brand. The 25-year-old reality star came up with several ponytail extensions, which she indirectly promoted to the viewers on the show. After Miona’s appearance, she built a business around the same, leveraging reality TV fame to make a huge customer base.
7 Loren Brovarnik
Loren Brovarnik was just another “mean girl” character when she joined 90 Day Fiancé season 3. However, she completely altered her personality and got immensely popular by building a niche. In the age of OnlyFans, Loren focused on family content and began pushing relatable content for married women on Instagram. Soon after, she had a baby boy, which helped her become a mom influencer and bring more light to the problems mothers face every day. Loren has since welcomed three kids in under three years, which has helped her become a famous mom influencer, gaining over 1.4 million followers.
6 Larissa Lima
Larissa Lima has been one of the biggest gold diggers on 90 Day Fiancé since Anfisa Arkhipchenko. Therefore, she was expected to fade into obscurity soon after her former partner Colt Johnson divorced her. However, the Brazilian native didn’t let anything hamper her new life in the United States. Instead, she began changing her body with surgical enhancements and making adult content. Larissa is among the most popular OnlyFans creators and boasts over 600k followers on Instagram.

5 David Tobrowsky
David Tobrowsky and Annie Suwan got backlash when they joined 90 Day Fiancé season 5. The couple was mocked for their 20-year age gap, and their relationship was called inauthentic. However, the two proved the critics wrong by staying by each other’s side. They began posting feel-good content showing their authentic selves enjoying a happy married life. David and Annie’s love and relatable social media content became a big reason they turned into one of the most popular 90 Day Fiancé pairs. Annie launched a clothing brand and a cooking show. Meanwhile, David has impressed fans with funny videos, his weight loss transformation, and continuously interacting with cast members on social media.
4 Tiffany Franco
When Tiffany Franco debuted on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, she seemed like a pushover. There was some suggestion that she didn’t care about her life, as she was over 300 pounds and dating a man with a criminal history. However, Tiffany proved her doubters wrong and became popular by standing up for herself. She underwent weight loss surgery to drop over 80 pounds, began expanding her makeup business, and confidently called it quits from her former husband. Since her transformation, Tiffany has gained a lot of fans, as she’s completely overhauled her social media personality. She posts free cosmetics tutorials, modeling makeovers, and talks about mental health.
3 Molly Hopkins
Most fans haven’t been impressed with Molly Hopkins throughout her journey on multiple 90 Day Fiancé shows.

His unique appearance and edgy personality have allowed him to do all kinds of shenanigans on social media since appearing on the show. Over the years, Big Ed has tried his hands at everything.
