Stevi Nicole’s journey on 90 Day Fiancé was nothing short of a rollercoaster, but few could have predicted that one of the most jaw-dropping revelations wouldn’t be about drama or deceit but her own stunning physical transformation that had fans gasping in disbelief when before and after photos were revealed during the Season 11 Tell-All. Stevi, a single mom from Mississippi, met her Iranian fiancé Motti Alsidi while teaching English online, and their whirlwind romance led to a K1 visa application and a public debut on the popular reality series. When viewers first met Stevi, she radiated a bold, creative spirit—an artist who painted nude female figures unapologetically, often stirring discomfort in her more conservative partner. While their differences provided endless tension and culture clash on screen, what Stevi kept carefully hidden from both the cameras and her fellow castmates was her battle with weight and her extraordinary health journey. Weighing well over 200 pounds at the start of their relationship, Stevi never addressed her size on the show, choosing instead to stay silent about the emotional and physical toll it took—until now, when she shocked everyone by revealing just how far she had come, both in body and spirit, thanks in large part to the man she once thought might never truly accept her.
The dramatic unveiling happened mid-discussion at the Tell-All, when Stevi dropped a casual but life-changing bombshell, admitting to her co-stars that she had once weighed significantly over 200 pounds. Her transformation was so stark that even fellow cast members like Shikina Garner were left speechless, complimenting her on how incredible she looked. But Stevi didn’t do it alone—her unlikely weight-loss partner was none other than Motti, her fiancé, whose own Instagram was filled with chiseled shirtless selfies and a background as a personal trainer. Though many suspected Motti of flaunting his body online to attract women, it turns out he was promoting his fitness services, and that same expertise became the foundation of Stevi’s metamorphosis. Motti, now living in Hattiesburg and working as a certified personal trainer in the U.S., created tailored workout plans for Stevi, guiding her through a physical and mental reset that not only helped her shed the weight but rebuild her self-esteem. The confidence she exudes now isn’t just about a number on the scale—it’s about reclaiming power in a relationship where she once feared she might be too much, or not enough, for a man with drastically different cultural expectations.
Despite all the challenges thrown at their relationship—ranging from culture shock and communication issues to jealousy and trust problems—Stevi and Motti have found a shared purpose in health and wellness that brought them closer than ever before. But the transformation wasn’t just physical; it forced them to confront insecurities that neither had been willing to address. Stevi admitted she had kept many parts of her life under wraps when she joined the show, including her two children and her diagnosis of narcolepsy, a condition fans only speculated about based on subtle signs. She fiercely protected her children’s privacy, never allowing the cameras to film them, even though they were living in the same house with Motti during filming. This same protectiveness extended to her health and weight, something she hadn’t been ready to share until she felt truly in control of her narrative. Motti, for his part, had his own growing pains, struggling with Stevi’s unapologetically free-spirited lifestyle, especially her artwork involving nude women, which clashed with his more traditional sensibilities. At one point, his jealousy boiled over when he realized Stevi was interacting closely with her female clients, but the tables soon turned when Stevi revealed she was actively helping him build his business by sending his way numerous women clients interested in his fitness expertise.
The irony wasn’t lost on viewers or host Shawn Robinson when it was revealed during the Tell-All that Stevi not only supported Motti’s personal training career but was actually the one directing women to his services with pride and enthusiasm. When asked if she really sent women clients to her husband, Stevi responded with unwavering confidence: “Absolutely.” In an unexpected twist, the very dynamic that once sparked jealousy became a symbol of mutual support and growth, showcasing how far they’d come not just in their personal appearances but in learning to trust and empower one another. Motti proudly declared that Stevi’s transformation was still “a work in progress,” which Stevi embraced with grace, acknowledging that the journey isn’t over—but the hardest part, the fear of not being enough or being judged, is long behind her. Their relationship, born in an online English class and forged in the fire of cultural collision, now stands as a testament to what’s possible when love, fitness, and transformation intersect. But it hasn’t all been sunshine and squats—old habits and deep-seated doubts still linger, making fans wonder whether the couple’s physical evolution can fully heal the emotional fractures they’ve endured along the way.
Stevi’s weight loss journey has become more than just a personal victory—it’s a symbol of resilience, a powerful statement against shame, and a wake-up call to fans who once dismissed her as just another eccentric cast member. Her ability to silently fight her battles while maintaining grace on screen, raising two children, and navigating a volatile international relationship speaks volumes about her strength. Now, with Motti standing beside her as both a partner and a coach, Stevi’s transformation is inspiring thousands to take back control of their lives, bodies, and self-worth. What started as a private journey of self-discovery has turned into one of the most talked-about plotlines in recent 90 Day Fiancé history—not because of scandal or betrayal, but because of the raw, unfiltered reality of a woman rebuilding herself from the inside out. Whether their love lasts or not, one thing is clear: Stevi is no longer the woman she used to be, and she’s not afraid to show the world every inch of her truth. And in a show built on secrets, lies, and misunderstandings, that kind of honesty might just be the most shocking twist of all.
