They Remained Together Despite Their Issues
90 Day Fiancé’s Julia and Brandon were working on things post-production after season 8. The couple shared many images on both of their Instagram accounts as soon as their wedding was televised.

Julia & Brandon Moved
No More Farm Life
When 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? fans watched Brandon and Julia in season 6, they had just moved off of Brandon’s parents’ farm, and into their own apartment in Richmond, Virginia. However, when they gave fans an update on 90 Day Diaries, the pair had plans to move to Florida and get jobs with someone they met on vacation. When they told Ron and Betty, it brought Betty to tears and she stormed off. But Brandon and Julia changed their minds at the last minute.
90 Day Fiancé season 8 presented many villains, but Julia pulled away as a fan-favorite franchise figure that only gained more notoriety from Happily Ever After? season 6. Though viewers criticized Brandon for his apparent immaturity, the couple has been popular among fans. Their continued journey on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? satisfied viewers’ curiosity, but that was the only Happily Ever After? season they appeared on. Brandon and Julia and Ron and Betty have all been returning cast members on the Pillow Talk spin-off as well.
Many are eager to see what career path Julia will follow. The fitness enthusiast has been sharing a look at her former bodybuilding competitions on Instagram. Julia might continue to pursue fitness or get back into dancing. Meanwhile, fans are hoping to see Brandon mature from his mama’s boy persona and provide Julia with a life away from his meddling parents. Fortunately for Brandon and Julia, the couple has a place in the extended 90 Day Fiancé franchise.
Julia & Brandon’s Marriage Is On The Rocks
They Will Appear on 90 Day: The Last Resort Season 2
90 Day: The Last Resort is the newest spinoff in the 90DF franchise, and season 1 ended airing in late October 2023. The therapy-based show featuring wayward alumni couples was received well by fans. Season 2 was rumored to have been filmed in April 2024, so fans can likely expect a fall or winter premiere date for the show.
Brandon and Julia are reported to be cast members on the show, signaling that their marriage is on the rocks after four years in the United States together.
At this point, it’s unclear what issues Brandon and Julia have to unpack on the show, as the couple still to still be happily together today. It could have to do with Julia’s continued jealousy, Brandon’s helicopter parents, the couple’s misalignment on wanting children, or Brandon’s disdain for Julia’s desire to be a gogo dancer again. In any case, the pair joined fellow alums Sophie Sierra and Rob Warne, Ariela Weinberg and Biniyam Shibre, and Jasmine Pineda and Gino Palazzolo in the 90 Day Fiancé spinoff.
Julia Lost Her Beloved Dog Simba
She Was Very Good To Her Pet
Julia was always devoted to her pooch, Simba, as previously mentioned. When she lost her dog, it was totally heartbreaking. The photo above says a million words. Simba’s eyes have a faraway look – the dog is close to passing away. Julia cradles him in her arms, showing the kind of love that really rings true. Julia wrote about the canine’s passing in her caption:
Run on the rainbow my boy. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I really hope I was a good mommy for you. The pain I feel cannot be expressed in words or tears. My best, beloved boy, you will always be in my heart. Thank you for being in my life! I don’t know what I will do without you. I love you with all my heart, Simba! 💔🐾
The fact that her pet is dying is shredding her emotionally. She shows her big heart by being there for Simba, just as she’s always been. Julia isn’t always the tough cookie shown onscreen – in fact, she has a very tender side, and the love for Simba definitely showcases a different facet of her complex personality.
Brandon Celebrated His Mom Betty’s Birthday
Betty’s A Gemini
Betty was a controversial onscreen presence in the early days of her 90DF stint. She seemed like yet another 90DF monster-in-law, committed to destroying her son’s peace of mind, one unreasonable act at a time. He wanted to sleep with Julia before their wedding – Betty made the young lovers miserable by forcing them to sleep in separate bedrooms. It was truly sad to watch the two youthful and vibrant 90DF stars pine for each other from separate bedrooms. Above, via a screengrab from Brandon‘s Instagram, the family gathers to honor Betty on her birthday, June 1.
