‘90 Day Fiancé’ star Larissa Lima splits with boyfriend Eric Nichols, fans ask 'are you going to pay him back'
‘90 Day Fiance’ star Larissa Dos Santos Lima has announced her split from her on-and-off-again boyfriend Eric Nichols again. On an Instagram post, Erica shared the news saying, “Since I started my presence on social media, I feel we have created a relationship of trust. Because of that I feel responsible to communicate to you when something important happens in my life.”
The 34-year-old reality star wrote in a note to her Instagram followers on Thursday, November 19, “I’m no longer in a relationship. We decided to follow separate paths for now. We are different people who have grown apart seeking development and happiness. I hope you guys understand” She further wrote, “This is a new chapter in my life and I’m excited to see what happens next.”
Larissa met Eric in 2019 through an online dating app as she confesses in an interview with E!, “I met him on Tinder, he’s really sweet,” Larissa said. “He’s 26-years-old — he’s really special to me. — I like that he’s completely the opposite of Colt. He’s dependent, he takes care of himself. So he’s not a momma’s boy.” Since then the couple had a bumpy relationship as they broke up and reunited on the show ‘90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After’ on the 2020 season.
For weeks, fans have speculated that Larissa and Eric have split. On social media, Larissa hinted she would be moving back to Las Vegas. And Eric posted a shirtless photo with the caption, “Single N red-e 2 mingle.”
As we have seen on the show, Eric cared for Larissa while she recovered from multiple plastic surgery procedures. Picking this point up a user commented on Instagram at the breakup news saying, “But he paid for your body lol are you going to pay him. Back?????” Another wrote, “and he was a trump supporter too” with a thumbs down emoji.
A user wrote, “LOL get that head get that bread, THEN LEAVE.” Another similar comment accusing Larissa of taking advantage of Eric to get surgery done said, “Got Eric to pay for your boobs and all the other cosmetic surgery and now you're done with him.”
Not all comments were negative. Some fans supported Larissa in this saying, “I’m v happy that you’re following your heart and doing what is best for you!” and “glad you ditched that controlling, arrogant, apathetic, overly hand gesturing loser.”
Some also speculated on Eric’s sexuality wondering if he likes women at all, “I don’t think ERICEEE is attracted to women. I get that vibe off from him. Which it’s okay because a lot of men who go through it have a hard time understanding themselves what they want or they want to figure it out.”
Eric replied to the post with the comment, “This is real news,” followed by a heart emoji.
