’90 Day Fiance’ Stars’ Side Hustles: How They Make Money Outside of Reality TV

Robert Springs

Fans first met Robert Springs in 90 Day Fiancé season 7, alongside his now-wife Anny Francisco. During his time on the show, Robert worked as a rideshare driver, but now it looks like he’s moved on to bigger and better things. In 2024, Robert opened up his own car dealership called Big Daddy Autos that sells “an exclusive selection of pre-owned luxury cars from the world’s most celebrated brands.”

Anfisa Arkhipchenko

Probably the most infamous cast member, Anfisa has been riding her reality fame quite craftily. She rebranded herself as a business woman and even launched a YouTube channel. The “new” Anfisa appears to be building a lifestyle brand, posting videos about makeup, beauty tips and “get ready with me” videos. She also is very active in the bodybuilding community.

Molly Hopkins

The season 5 cast member who married (and then divorced) Luis Mendez already has a successful lingerie business. After the show, she used her platform on Instagram to sell weight-loss teas.

Mohamed Jbali

The controversial season 2 cast member might be newly divorced from wife Danielle Jbali (née) Mullins, but that hasn’t stopped him from pursuing his post-90 Day Fiancé dreams. In addition to working as a truck driver, he also makes YouTube videos. He also enjoys photography and shares his shots on Instagram.

Danielle Mullins

Although she was unsuccessful in her attempt to get her ex-husband Mohamed thrown out the country, her time spent on 90 Day Fiancé has generated quite a significant fan base for her — uh, apparently. On the side, she’s sold autographs and professional photos to fans and weight loss supplements. She also ran into some money trouble in 2018 and got by with help from fans’ donations on GoFundMe.

Russ and Paola Mayfield

The season 1 couple left Oklahoma for Miami when Russ lost his job. While unemployed, Paola picked up the slack and started booking jobs as a swimsuit model. Today, Russ now works as an engineer and Paola makes a living as a personal trainer and nutrition coach. In April 2021, the mom of one also announced her new wrestling career, taking over the persona “Paola Blaze.” However, when they’re not at their day jobs, the couple is selling products on their social media. Russ also revealed in August 2022 that he decided to make the leap into voiceover acting.

Brett Otto and Daya De Arce

After the show, this season 2 couple launched an entire website devoted to the K-1 visa experience appropriately called, well, The K-1 Visa Experience. In addition to blog posts, the couple also has a podcast where they talk about marriage and parenthood.

Loren and Alexei Brovarnik

Out of all the 90 Day Fiancé couples, season 3’s Loren and Alexei are by far the most social media savvy (although they’re definitely second to Anfisa). Both appear to be building lucrative side jobs in social media influencing, promoting fit teas, subscription boxes, and more on their Instagrams.

Evelyn Cormier

During season 5, it was no secret that Evelyn was an aspiring songwriter (as she talked about it the whole time). After the show, she had a stint on season 17 of American Idol, making it to the top 14 before being eliminated. She and husband David Vázquez Zermeño moved to Los Angeles, where she is pursuing a career in music.

Alla Fedoruk

In Season 4, she married Matt Ryan, and the two now live in Ohio. Since then, Alla’s sister has moved to the states, and they run a lash and brow studio together. Although it’s technically not a “side hustle,” we still think it’s a pretty interesting career trajectory.

Chelsea Macek

After divorcing musician Yamir Castillo, Chelsea started a new life in Colorado. She now works in the medical marijuana industry.

Yohan Geronimo and Daniele Gates

This Love in Paradise couple is all about the side hustles! While the New York native offers various courses both online and in-person surrounding spirituality and yoga, Yohan recently opened his own restaurant in the Dominican Republic. 

Andrei Castravet

While Andrei was previously teased about being a stay-at-home dad, the Moldova native recently made his entry into the Potthast family business, real estate. Following his return on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After, the former bouncer announced his new profession as a real estate agent. 

Jon Walters

While Jon Walters and Rachel Walters have yet to be reunited physically, the England native has opened his own business! Jon opened a costume shop named “Fancy Dress and Party” in his hometown of Weston-Super-Mare. The storefront, which also offers an online catalog, promises “to deliver quality fancy dress costumes throughout the U.K. which makes you look and feel great,” according to the boutique’s website.

Thaís Ramone

Following her time on 90 Day Fiancé alongside now-husband, Patrick Mendes, the brunette beauty has started her own bikini line! “I’ve always wanted to bring a unique product from Brazil made especially for you as a customer and fan that I care so much about,” the season 9 star wrote via her website, launched in October 2022. “Thaís Ramonie has its own identity. It’s different, memorable, and has the purpose of enhancing your body and adding to your beauty.”

Tiffany Franco

Prior to her time on the long-running series, the Maryland native was a makeup artist. Following her 90 Day Fiancé fame, the mom of two has gone on to found her own make-up line, Addy Rose Cosmetics. 

“90% of the time you will catch me wearing my beautiful pinky winky palette,” she shared via Instagram in November 2021. “Because the shades of pinks and golds in that palette work with every eyecolor, skin tone and every age!”

Julia Trubkina

After leaving her job as a go-go dancer in South Korea to pursue a relationship with Brandon Gibbes, 90 Day Fiancé star Julia Trubkina has shifted her professional attention from the stage to the backyard! Taking to social media to update her followers in November 2022, Julia revealed that she works as a dog trainer in Virginia Beach, Norfolk and Richmond, Virginia, and has spent the last six months learning about different dog breeds. 

“I really appreciate the trust of people who have already trained dogs with me and received advice,” Julia wrote alongside a video of her training a German shepherd. She further detailed that she offers obedience training, consultations and boarding to clients. 

Zied Hakimi

New year, new career! Zied revealed he officially embarked on a career in heating, ventilation and air conditioning. 

“My first day work in HVAC [sic],” the 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days alum shared in January 2023.

Ashley Martson

Following her time on 90 Day Fiancé and 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? alongside ex-husband, Jay Smith, the mom of two has gone on to open her own luxury hair salon in York, Pennsylvania. 

“I wanted to introduce you to my salon,” the TLC personality shared via Instagram in February 2023. “My favorite place that I completely renovated (which was so fun picking everything out), take a peek and let me know what you think! I pride myself in using the most healthy, natural and eco-friendly line on the market!”

Kara Bass

The 90 Day Fiancé season 9 star announced she is launching her own online boutique, Leona Curated Jewelry, in March 2023. 

“A stylish place serving your jewelry needs. Whether you’re searching for a special occasion piece or something to wear every day we have curated the perfect jewelry for you,” the mom of one explained, revealing an April 24, 2023, launch date. “We are committed to providing you with high-quality jewelry that you will treasure for years to come. Thank you for choosing us as your jewelry destination.”

Corey Rathgeber and Evelin Villegas

In April 2023, Corey revealed that he and Evelin are opening a beachfront resort in Ecuador. 

“We’ve been working on it for a long time. I’m super excited to share with you guys, the building process from start to finish and all the work that goes into it,” the 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way alum explained via Instagram. “As well as all the behind-the-scenes of what it’s like living day to day in Ecuador.”
