Fans of “90 Day Fiancé” were taken aback by Colt Johnson’s latest transformation, unveiled on Instagram. The 39-year-old American, who initially gained attention for marrying Brazilian Larissa Lima during the show’s sixth season, has had a tumultuous romantic journey. After his split from Larissa, Colt’s relationship with Jess Caroline ended badly when he was unfaithful with Vanessa. Despite Vanessa’s initial reluctance, Colt persuaded her to marry him. However, their relationship was strained by Colt’s overly dependent bond with his mother, leading to Vanessa falling out of love and announcing their separation in February 2024.
Since parting ways with Vanessa, Colt has noticeably altered his appearance and demeanor.
A recent post by Reddit user Strawb3rryCh33secake revealed that Colt has also relocated. The post, which quickly gained traction with over 7,000 upvotes and 700 comments, featured a screenshot from a dating app. Colt’s profile, which uses a selfie that discloses his current location, shows he “liked” the Redditor’s profile. This prompted user Redditkmm to ask, “Eewwwww did he move to Seattle???”
Why is Colt suddenly so active on social media? Does he still think about Vanessa?
The screenshot from the original poster highlights Colt’s interests, including watching movies, visiting cafés, enjoying “Harry Potter,” and taking his dog for walks. Proudly identifying as a ’90s kid, Colt’s potential move to Seattle post-breakup seems logical to some fans, noting that his mother, Debbie Johnson, still resides near Vancouver, BC. Although Colt hasn’t officially announced his move on Instagram, he has been posting regularly since Vanessa disclosed their breakup. His most recent post celebrated Brazilian Independence Day, showcasing a new haircut.
Colt’s appearance has undergone a noticeable change, with a new short haircut and a neatly trimmed beard.
During his time with Vanessa, he sported long, untamed hair and an unkempt beard, often the subject of fan ridicule. His fashion sense has also seen improvement. Having taken up gardening and joined dating apps, Colt is embracing a new chapter in his life. His social media activity seems aimed at garnering attention from fans and potentially finding a new partner in the city. It seems Colt is looking for a new companion for another “90 Day Fiancé” adventure.

Colt was initially slated to appear on “90 Day: The Last Resort” Season 1 with Vanessa but had to withdraw following a trampoline accident that resulted in a broken leg. The couple has not participated in any shows since, as Vanessa refused further involvement with the franchise, claiming Colt had also quit. Colt’s recent social media resurgence and hints at new filming endeavors suggest Vanessa may have restricted his Instagram use. Notably, Vanessa favored Colt’s longer hair and beard.
