Her relationship with Colt Johnson may have ended in failure, but Larissa Dos Santos Lima isn’t letting it keep her down. In a recent episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, Lima reached out to her ex-boyfriend Eric Nichols and asked for another chance. They agreed to move on and start their relationship from scratch. But with her kids still in Brazil, some fans have become frustrated with Lima.

Larissa Dos Santos Lima’s relationship with Eric Nichols

Larissa began dating Eric following her split from Colt in 2019. She admitted in a recent episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? that she dumped him due to how cheap he was and his failure to compliment her more. But after two months, the pair found their way back to one another.

“I always was in love with Eric when we were dating but I decided to break up with him because of all the kind of relationship problems and I thought that he didn’t admire me anymore,” Larissa said in a confessional featured in the July 12 episode. “But I miss being in a relationship with him because Eric isn’t perfect but he always tries to help me out when we were together and he doesn’t judge me for anything I did in my life.”

They hashed out their issues over dinner and agreed to move forward with the requirement that they work on their communication and that Eric “let the money flow” — specifically for Larissa’s breast augmentation.

Fans have been calling out Larissa Dos Santos Lima

As Larissa kickstarts a new relationship in the United States, many viewers have been hypercritical of her given that she left two children behind in another country.

One fan declared, “Larissa needs to go back home & take care of her kids,” while another wrote, “I don’t understand how Larissa could just leave her kids in Brazil and move to the US to be in a tv show. Like morally.”

“Larissa you should be ashamed of yourself,” read a third tweet. “you are not thinking about your children at all you want the money to flow for new boobs when are you going to be a mother you already deserted your kids and you still not thinking of them go home and raise your children.”

But there’s a reason Larissa Dos Santos Lima hasn’t brought her kids to America

Viewers who have followed her over the years know Larissa only planned on bringing her children to the United States when she became more stable and found a partner.

“My master plan was to come to America, fall in love, bring my kids here, and have the family that I dream of,” she said in an old episode following her split from Colt.

“My goal is to be a billionaire, a millionaire, a trillionaire,” she added in an Instagram story. “I don’t care what I do, I care about all the hustle. To send to my family, my kids, to have a good life.”

Knowing her goals, other fans rallied behind Lima and defended her from the criticism.

“Are the people so worried about Larissa’s kids here on the internet going to take care of them?” another person wondered. “We don’t know what she does or doesn’t do for her children. Lots of people are physically away from their kids trying to make things happen.”

We’ll have to keep watching to see if Eric is truly the one, though. Tune in to 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? at 8 p.m. ET on Sundays on TLC.
