Though Larissa Lima regrets going on 90 Day Fiance, these days, her life is very different.
She’s no longer contending with Colt Johnson’s constant cheating or with Debbie “making her life hell.”
Instead, Larissa now has a brand new boyfriend.
Together, the two of them have revealed how they met.
We also learn her boy-toy’s age and what he likes most about Larissa — and more.
Take a look:
Larissa is dating again!
In recent weeks, she’s gone from hiding his face to showing him to her followers to making public appearances with him on her arm. And now we know so much more about him
First of all, he has a name
His name is Eric! No word yet as to whether Larissa refers to him as Ericee. It’s possible that time in the US combined with her bad experiences with Colt may have taken the fun out of adding an -ee to words.
So, what does Eric love most about Larissa?
“It’s gonna have to be her scent,” Eric tells E!. “It’s very breathtaking.”
To be clear, that’s not all
“Her personality,” Eric notes. “I like her accent.” That is … probably a much better answer, though you can go a lot worse than mentioning that a woman smells nice.
So what was it like when they met?
“It was a very interesting scenario,†Eric describes. “It was a very windy evening, and I actually had to run and grab my car.”
It sounds like she was still recovering from being with Colt
“She wanted to go with me. I said ‘I insist that you probably stay here,’ and she thought I was gonna leave her,” Eric says. That … really sounds like a woman who is accustomed to not being treated with a lot of kindness.
But it was okay
“So I actually ran about a mile to go get my car,” Eric shares. “And she was calling my by the time I was outside.”
Has he actually seen 90 Day Fiance?
“Bits and pieces I’ve watched throughout our time,” Eric confesses. “But not very much.â€Â
What does he think of her past?
“A few potholes in the road,” Eric characterizes of Larissa’s past drama. “But that’s something that can always be patched up, right?”
What do the people close to him think?
Eric gives a very honest answer, here: “Well, not too many people know about it.”
So how did they meet, really?
“I met him on Tinder,” Larissa shares. “He’s really sweet.†We reported weeks and weeks ago that Larissa had joined Tinder, even before she confirmed it. Good for her — it paid off!
Larissa is head over heels
“He’s really special for me,” Larissa gushes. She has made it very clear that her 26-year-old boyfriend is affectionate and considerate.
It sounds like he’s everything that Colt was not
“I like that he’s completely opposite of Colt,†Larissa acknowledges. Scoring a guy who’s young and hot is well and good, but it’s his personality that has Larissa feeling so happy.
Also, Eric doesn’t come with Debbie attached
“He’s independent, he takes care of himself,” Larissa notes. “So, he’s not a mama’s boy.” Larissa isn’t knocking people who have close relationships with their mothers. But Colt and Debbie have lives that are so closely linked that it struck many viewers as unhealthy. Colt is years into his thirties but his mother still makes dinner for him on a regular basis.
Plus, Larissa and Debbie clashed
Larissa and Colt weren’t exactly a match made in heaven to begin with, but having Debbie living in the house got on Larissa’s nerves and just grew worse and worse. They did not get along.
Did Larissa learn anything from her marriage to Colt?
At his divorce party, Colt mentioned that he didn’t regret the marriage becaue he felt that he had learned a lot.
Larissa came away much less satisfied
“To be honest,” Larissa confesses. “I learned nothing because Colt is bad for me.” In other words, whatever she may have gained from the relationship was not worth the misery.
But she’s happier now!
Larissa is happier now that she’s no longer living in a state of constant conflict.
Eric even knows what she likes
Larissa likes flowers — though it’s mostly an inside joke at this point. Even so, Eric indulges her.
Good for both of them!
Between the ways that romance can naturally fall apart and the looming possibility that Larissa will be deported, we hope that they enjoy this romance for as long as it lasts. Who knows — this could be one for the ages.
