Eric Nichols

Eric Nichols was blind-sided, as were all 90-Day Fiance fans, when Larissa Dos Santos Lima broke up with him on Instagram.  These two were hot and heavy for eight months already when Larissa decided it was time to end things.  Everything about their relationship screamed for social media attention.  Larissa even pulled Eric into the 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After Reunion to successfully badger Colt Johnson into a meltdown.

After Larissa dumped him, Eric decided to get even by having dinner with Colt and his mother, Debbie Johnson.  In an obvious slight to Larissa, Eric posted pictures of the dinner on social media, including one of himself playing Deb’s infamous slot machine.  Since Eric and Larissa made a point to share every aspect of their relationship with followers, it seems only logical that they would update fans on their reconciliation.  But strictly as friends.

Reality TV and the desire to stay relevant makes for strange bedfellows.  Someone who had watched the dynamic between Colt Johnson, ex-wife Larissa Dos Santos Lima, and her new boyfriend Eric Nichols on the 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After season 4 reunion would never guess how these relationships ended up.  At the reunion, Colt professed his ongoing love for Larissa.  Larissa responded by parading her new boyfriend, Eric, onscreen.

Colt descended into a rage while Larissa smirked into the camera.  They had no contact after that.  But that all changed recently when Larissa ended her relationship with Eric after less than a year of dating.  She explained that she had jumped into the relationship too quickly and needed time to work on herself.  This was shortly after Larissa revealed that she was battling depression and anxiety as a result of her arrests.  Larissa claimed there were, “no hard feelings or regrettees.”  But does Eric feel the same way?
