Prior to filming the new season of the 90 Day Fiance spinoff, Colt and Larissa appeared on Season 6 of 90 Day Fiance, which finished airing on TLC in mid-January.
Colt, a software engineer from Las Vegas, NV, and Larissa, who is from Brazil, met online when Colt decided to look overseas for love because he wasn't having much luck with American women. According to Colt, U.S. women didn't seem to like that he lived with his mother, Debbie Johnson.
After communicating online, Colt and Larissa decided to met in person in Cancun, Mexico.
It only took five days for Colt to realize he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Larissa, and so he proposed marriage to her, and sixth season of 90 Day Fiance featured Larissa moving and getting settled into the home Colt shared with Debbie, and their cats.
Despite getting into frequent fights when Larissa would cop an attitude over Debbie's involvement in their lives or their less-than-stellar lifestyle, Colt and Larissa filed for their marriage license in Clark County, Nevada on June 11, 2018.
And then Colt and Larissa got married on June 24, according to Clark County Clerk records obtained by Reality TV World.
Their ceremony was shown on the finale of 90 Day Fiance's sixth season, with Colt telling the cameras he wanted to spend forever with Larissa.

However, viewers then saw a clip of Larissa locking herself in the bedroom and yelling about being "emotionally exhausted" shortly after tying the knot.
Larissa had been charged with domestic battery in the state of Nevada following a June 2018 altercation in which Colt called the police but ultimately regretted doing so.

So what has happened since viewers last saw Colt and Larissa on 90 Day Fiance? Are they still together and married?
The short answer is a whole lot has happened since then, and Colt and Larissa are no longer together and are finalizing their divorce.The pair's relationship started to go downhill late last year when Larissa was arrested for domestic violence again in November 2018.
The arrest occurred after Larissa posted a series of troubling comments and Instagram Stories on her Instagram account that culminated with the 90 Day Fiance star asking her followers for help and claiming she had locked herself in a bathroom after Colt took her phone when the couple had an argument.

According to Larissa, the incident occurred because Colt didn't want her to post anything about him online so "girls" would think he is still single.
The Clark County District Attorney eventually declined to pursue charges against Larissa.
However the following month, Larissa took to Instagram several additional times and claimed Colt was still flirting and texting with other women and posted examples of numerous photos and text exchanges she had found on Colt's phone.

"Colt is cheating [on] me with this girl!" Larissa captioned one screenshot of a text-message exchange between Colt and the woman. "And [he has] plans to use me until he finish Happily Ever After."
As shown in the screenshot, Colt texted the woman, "We need to stop talking for a bit."
After the woman asked, "Why?" Colt allegedly responded, "Because she's violent... I just need to deal with her. Can you just not talk to her?"
The woman apparently replied, "Yeah that's fine... Talk to you whenever," prompting Colt to issue an apology.
"I'm sorry honey," Colt allegedly told the woman in the screenshot. "I just have to deal with her then I'll be free."

The couple stayed together, however, because Colt allegedly owned up to his mistakes and claimed he was going to try to be a better man and fight for his marriage.
But the drama didn't stop there, as Larissa was subsequently arrested for the third time in January 2019.
Colt and Larissa's relationship reached a disturbing new low when they had their argument back in January, as it escalated into bloody injuries -- including a gash on Larissa's cheek and cut on the inside of Colt's lip.
According to Larissa, the fight sparked when she allegedly found email receipts for pornographic videos Colt had allegedly purchased in their Las Vegas home.
Larissa was ultimately taken into custody and charged with misdemeanor domestic violence.
Hours after the incident, Colt filed for divorce from Larissa on January 11 to end their seven-month relationship.

Later that month, the TLC stars hosted separate divorce parties at a Las Vegas club, where both individuals celebrated with friends and strippers and made it clear they were emotionally done with each other.
Larissa also publicly debuted her new boyfriend Eric, who is a 26 year old Italian man she gushes is "handsome," "special," and "gentlemanly."

Then on April 1, Colt's lawyer released a statement saying Colt and Larissa had reached a divorce agreement and it was the process of being written up to be signed and submitted to the judge overseeing the case.
"Colt Johnson and Larissa dos Santos Lima have settled their divorce. The motion has been taken off the calendar and an agreement has been reached," said Johnson.
"Lawyers are in the process of finalizing the written stipulation to sign and submit to the judge."
Although the former couple's breakup was nasty, Johnson told E! News at the time the "matter was settled amicably between the parties and each party will walk away and bear their own costs and fees."
Colt's attorney added, "The motion for temporary orders and gag order was vacated today by agreement of the attorneys in anticipation of submitting the final settlement and order to the judge."
Colt even reportedly "wishes Larissa the best in her future endeavors," according to Johnson.
Later in April, Colt and Larissa each shared Instagram postings in which they said they were preparing to sign their divorce papers.
