People have argued that the life of 90 Day Fiance star Juliana Custodio has improved for the better since meeting and marrying Michael Jessen. The 23-year-old model had a troubled past, life wasn't always rosy. She started modeling at a tender age and is allegedly a victim of human trafficking. The reality star was also set up for an arranged marriage at 17 years old.

Juliana reportedly worked in a sweatshop as a child and faced exploitation and abuse. The Brazilian beauty comes from a poor background. That, coupled with her and Michael's 18 year age gap fueled immense criticism from viewers. While some argued that she married him simply for his wealth, others accused Michael of taking advantage of an impressionable young woman.

Updated January of 2025: Juliana and Michael filed for divorce in 2022. She announced her pregnancy with her new boyfriend shortly after news of her and Michael's divorce was made public.
