Infamous 90 Day Fiancé diva Anfisa Arkhipchenko made headlines last month when she revealed that she'd been in negotiations with TLC about appearing in another 90 Day series. According to the Russian beauty, she ultimately turned the network down as she didn't see much value in returning to the franchise.
Since appearing in the franchise, Anfisa has ambitiously created a new life for herself. She's divorced Jorge, graduated from college, found success in the fitness industry, and become a U.S. citizen. Anfisa has publicly reinvented herself, and now she's slowly winning back followers with her lofty goals and honesty.
Anfisa And Jorge Met Online
During their time on reality television, Anfisa and Jorge told viewers they'd met on Facebook. Jorge said he saw a picture of the Russian model and reached out to her. However, there have been allegations circulating online that they actually met while Anfisa was working as a cam girl. The couple insists this is not the case.

Soon after Anfisa moved to the U.S. to be with Jorge, he revealed he'd lied about his wealth and that he was actually struggling to keep up with her desire to live a lavish lifestyle. Anfisa and Jorge had many memorable fights on camera, and the couple's relationship status was constantly in question.
Anfisa Was Raised By Her Grandmother
Anfisa has not publicly shared much about her parents, aside from the fact that mother hails from Belarus and her father is from Ukraine. However, Anfisa was born in Moscow, Russia and she was raised there by her maternal grandmother, who appears to be one of the most supportive 90 Day family members.
Anfisa enjoyed living with her grandmother, and regularly threatened to move back to Russia while fighting with Jorge. In a throwback post on her Instagram page, the businesswoman called her grandmother her "biggest role model," and shared a photo of the two of them together from when she was a baby.
Anfisa Was Accused Of Being A Gold Digger
Anfisa was often accused of being a gold digger while she was with Jorge. She demanded expensive purses and jewelry, and even attempted to insist upon a $45,000 wedding dress. When she didn't get her way, Anfisa threw iconic temper tantrums, such as the time she memorably keyed "idiot" across the side of Jorge's car.
As a result of her spoiled and entitled attitude, many viewers believed she was only with Jorge for his money. As it turns out, Jorge had much less money than he'd led Anfisa to believe. Anfisa has since proven she doesn't need anybody's money. She is now successful in several industries and makes plenty of money on her own.
Anfisa And Jorge Are No Longer Together
Anfisa and Jorge did eventually tie the knot, and they remained married for three years. However, Jorge spent most of their marriage behind bars, after he was arrested for transporting a large amount of marijuana across state lines. Jorge was sentenced to two and a half years in prison and, just a few months after his release, he filed for divorce.

Jorge claimed Anfisa wasn't supportive while he was in jail and that she began dating other men while he was locked up. Both parties appear to be thriving post-divorce. Jorge has focused on his mental and physical health, losing over one hundred pounds. He's now happily married and recently welcomed a second child with his new wife.
Anfisa Went To Business School
Earlier this summer, Anfisa graduated with honors from Paul Merage School of Business at UC Irvine in California. The entrepreneur earned a bachelor's degree in Business Administration after four and a half years in school, two of which she spent at a local community college.
Anfisa, who is easily among the smartest 90 Day stars, went on to graduate Magna Cum Laude and in the top 10% of her class. She admitted, "Until the very end, I experienced imposter syndrome."
Anfisa Is A U.S. Citizen
Among Anfisa's many recent accomplishments is her new citizenship status. She's now officially a citizen of the United States. In July, the model posted a photo of herself on Instagram, proudly posing in front of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services building. In the picture, she's holding a small American flag and her official paperwork.
During a Q&A session, a fan asked Anfisa what inspired her citizenship. She replied that it was "the ease of international travel and the right to vote." Anfisa, who now lives in San Diego, California, appears to be building a fulfilling life for herself in the United States.
Anfisa Is An Influencer
Anfisa has leaned into reality stardom in a major way. In fact, she's quickly become one of the most popular 90 Day cast members on social media. The influencer now has well over 800k followers on Instagram. She also has a successful YouTube channel and an OnlyFans profile, where she charges fans $19.99 a month for "exclusive content you won't find anywhere else."

Like many 90 Day stars, Anfisa is also a brand ambassador. She's a model/athlete for Bombshell Sportswear which, according to its website, "is a luxury global brand, inspired by the women of the fitness world."
Anfisa Is A Competitive Bodybuilder
Adding to her growing list of accolades, Anfisa recently began successful fitness career. In addition to becoming a certified personal trainer and launching her own fitness app, the reality star is also a nationally qualifying amateur bodybuilder.
Among other wins, in 2019 Anfisa medaled in every category she participated in at a National Physique Committee bikini athlete competition in Las Vegas. Anfisa is not the only 90 Day star who has competed in bikini competitions. While there are many things fans don't know about Julia Trubkina, who is also from Russia, the former franchise alum recently revealed that she is a former bodybuilding competitor as well.
Anfisa Has Been Honest About Her Cosmetic Surgery
In May, Anfisa posted a lengthy Instagram update about her latest cosmetic procedure. She admitted that she'd recently traveled to Turkey for her third rhinoplasty. Anfisa explained that she'd done quite a bit of research and chose Turkey because the surgeons are known for performing the kind of rhinoplasty she wanted, and the surgery was significantly less expensive than it would have been in the U.S.
She concluded her post by insisting, "I'm all for plastic surgery and improving yourself, but [if] you are thinking about getting something done, you should carefully weigh all pros and cons and not blindly follow trends."
Anfisa Is A Virgo
Anfisa was born on Sept. 4, so astrologically, she's a Virgo. According to Astrology.com, Virgo signs are often "industrious, methodical, and efficient." Anfisa has proven her Zodiac traits to be quite accurate by accomplishing so many of her goals including graduating from college, becoming a U.S. citizen, and exploring many entrepreneurial endeavors.
Interestingly, Jorge was born on Sept. 14, making him a Virgo as well. The website points out that, although Virgo/Virgo matches can be very successful, "their shared perfectionism and skepticism could lead to conflict." This certainly was the case for Anfisa and Jorge, who were alike in many ways, yet were constantly butting heads.
