90 Day Fiancé is a popular TLC reality TV show that follows couples applying for a K-1 visa to marry a US citizen. The show is filled with drama, tension, and unexpected challenges, as these couples only have 90 days to decide whether to get married.
Colt Johnson, who appears on the show often, has had many ups and downs in his relationships over the years, most notably with Vanessa Guerra, his former partner. Colt is currently dealing with health issues following a serious injury, and Vanessa's reaction to his situation has recently received a lot of attention.
In her comment, she said
"Let's look on the bright side. At least I don't have to do a second tour of nurse duty," reflecting on her shift from her previous supportive role and highlighting a new chapter in her life.
90 Day Fiancé star Vanessa’s response and her role in Colt’s recovery
Colt's severe accident on the set of 90 Day Fiancé: The Last Resort, a show where couples work on their relationships, changed Vanessa and Colt's relationship significantly. Colt's injury required several surgeries, and he spent more than a year recovering from his injury.
During that time, Vanessa was his main caretaker. She wished Colt well then, telling him she just wanted him to get better and be able to do things on his own again.
Reflecting on that period, Colt previously shared that he wouldn’t have been able to get through it without Vanessa by his side, acknowledging her role in his recovery process. Although she played a crucial role in Colt's early recovery, according to her, her involvement became difficult emotionally as the months passed. In early 2024, Vanessa decided to end their relationship, explaining,
"I realized I needed to take care of myself, too. I’m grateful for what I learned, but it was time to prioritize my own health and happiness."
Since then, Colt has continued with the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, while Vanessa has moved forward with a focus on her personal life, reflecting on her decision to step away from the relationship.
Colt’s health issues and new relationship with Cortney Reardanz in 90 Day Fiancé
After the breakup, Colt began filming another 90 Day Fiancé spin-off, during which he developed a new relationship with cast member Cortney Reardanz. While filming, Colt experienced another accident, and Cortney stepped in to help him recover. According to reports by Shab**ty, she took him to her home in Florida to recover.
During this time, Colt reportedly struggled with physical pain and has undergone a leg amputation. This needed a prolonged healing process, leading Vanessa to comment that he’s had a tough road, and she hoped that he finds the support he needs.
However, Colt and Cortney's relationship recently hit a rough patch, with reports claiming that Cortney and her family asked Colt to leave. Vanessa responded to the situation, saying that she knows he’s going through a lot, but she is in a different place now.
Commenting on his ongoing health struggles, Colt said that they have been tough on him, but he is trying to stay positive. Colt’s future remains uncertain, with his recovery ongoing and no immediate plans announced.
