90 Day Fiancé: Juliana Updates Fans On Relationship With Boyfriend Ben
Pregnant 90 Day Fiancé star Juliana Custodio revealed if she’s still together with baby daddy and boyfriend Ben Obscura following recent split rumors. The Brazilian model is best remembered for 90 Day Fiancé season 7, in which she got married to Connecticut man Michael Jessen. During her relationship, Juliana was portrayed as a gold digger who was with a man almost twice her age. However, Michael and Juliana announced their separation on their two-year wedding anniversary via Instagram, after which the Goiania native flew back to Europe where she used to work before meeting her ex-husband. A month later, Juliana shared she was expecting a baby with mystery man Ben.
Juliana and Ben’s relationship has been adored by 90 Day Fiancé fans, but in a recent Instagram Q&A session with fans, she suggested they had split. Fans had seen Juliana showing off a ring and thanking a fan when they congratulated her for their engagement. However, Juliana claimed he wasn’t engaged. She had also unfollowed her German boyfriend on Instagram. But it could have been a harmless lovers' quarrel since Juliana later claimed she unfollowed Ben while using an app called “Mass Unfollow for Instagram.”
In her newer Instagram Stories from Tuesday, Juliana reassured her 90 Day Fiancé fans that everything is fine between her and Ben. A TLC viewer asked Juliana, “Are you still with Ben it seems no more photos of you two are posted." She jokingly asked the fan to “guess” as she posted a video of herself sitting next to a smiling Ben. Juliana proceeded to share a funny reel about how when she asked her boyfriend if she’s gained weight, he told her, “You are pregnant,” instead of saying, “Of course not, my love, you look amazing.”
Despite being 24 weeks along, Juliana hasn’t stopped taking up modeling assignments. Fans often come across her photos on shopping websites and are proud to see all of her growth and success. On Instagram, Juliana doles out advice to young women who are going to be moms like her for the first time. “A lot of women here [are] going through the same thing, and their experiences helps me a lot. That’s why I like to share mine so I get many advices and that helps a lot,” Juliana told a critic who judged her for “behaving like she is the only woman pregnant.” Juliana has opened up about how seeing “five pregnant women at the supermarket” after she started to have “crazy cravings” made her want to buy a pregnancy test just for fun. It was then that Juliana realized she was pregnant.
Juliana is possibly one of the few former 90 Day Fiancé cast members who are so approachable on social media. Fans reach out to her for advice on everything under the sun, and she freely shares her skincare and haircare secrets. Juliana’s breakup with Michael was messy and public, with her even claiming that she financially supported the wine entrepreneur’s family during the pandemic but was treated like a maid. For now, she has managed to leave her dark past behind and is looking forward to welcoming her baby boy with Ben, whom the couple has sweetly decided to name Benjamin as well.
90 Day Fiancé premieres April 17 at 8 p.m. EDT on TLC.
