90 Day Fiancé: Why Varya's Awfully Cheerful After Geoffrey’s Sentence
Many 90 Day Fiancé viewers think Varya Malina looks surprisingly happy in her Instagram reels following her boyfriend Geoffrey Paschel's sentencing. Varya moved to the United States in January 2021. She sold her apartment in Russia and decided to save the money she was planning to spend on renovations. She started her new life in Pensacola, Florida and shared daily updates with 90 Day Fiancé viewers on Instagram. Varya finally called America her home in August 2021 but didn't reveal whether she was issued a K-1 visa.
Varya kept her relationship with Geoffrey secret for a long time, but viewers had an inkling they were still together. In October 2021, the Knoxville resident was found guilty of assaulting his ex-lover, and he has now been sentenced to 18 years in prison. After Geoffrey's guilty verdict, Varya admitted to being in a relationship with him and posted all of their unseen romantic pictures on Instagram. She is supporting Geoffrey on social media, despite the backlash. Varya has even pleaded with 90 Day Fiancé viewers to send him money in prison.
Now that Geoffrey will be behind bars for 18 years, viewers have noticed Varya posting happy content on Instagram. After seeing the Russian native's latest posts, one follower said, "You seem awfully happy for your situation." Varya recently got Botox on her face and documented it on Instagram. She also spiced up her old hairstyle and is now sporting a long bob haircut with blonde highlights. The 33-year-old reality star looks quite cheerful for someone whose fiancé has been sentenced to 18 years in prison without parole. On a post by AshtonKechamall, one Redditor theorized, "Maybe Varya really was playing the long con. Now she has income, a place to live, residency, (somehow) followers, and she doesn't have to see or be around BTG."
Some viewers think Varya is secretly happy Geoffrey is incarcerated, as she can now enjoy her American life the way she wants without getting bothered by him. Varya can maintain a low-maintenance relationship with Geoffrey via video chat and retain the perks of being his partner without actually being with him. Varya lives in one of Geoffrey's houses and takes care of his other rental properties. In the meantime, she is preparing for the U.S. National Guard, which will help her get American citizenship within a year. Still, a few viewers think Varya looks optimistic and happy because Geoffrey has filed a motion seeking a retrial. A Redditor wrote, "That's because Geoffrey is trying to get a retrial. She thinks it's victory." According to In Touch, Geoffrey's new hearing is scheduled for April 14, 2022.
There is no doubt Varya looks quite joyful in her latest Instagram videos. She is regularly posting content on social media, and it doesn't appear that she is stressed or missing her man. Still, it is possible that Varya doesn't like to show her raw and lowest moments online and doesn't care if it sends out the wrong impression to 90 Day Fiancé viewers. However, it is also possible that Varya is genuinely happy because she won't have to deal with a convicted criminal anymore.
