"In the next episode, you will hear about my kids. My court case is on May 30th, and it is the last thing holding me back from doing what I want to do," Larissa explained earlier this week.
"I will be free to do everything, and finally 100% free of drama. In the future, I will help people to prevent them from getting arrested, specific immigrants that never get arrested before like me. Yes, I want my personal history to help people."
Larissa, however, insisted her family matters will stay as personal as possible.
"My kids will only be addressed with my family, my boyfriend, and my closest friends," Larissa continued on Instagram.
90 Day Fiance star Colt Johnson filed for divorce from Larissa in January after nearly seven months of marriage, and the divorce was finalized on April 30, according to TMZ.
Larissa now has a new boyfriend named Eric.
"I will not spend my time talking about the people that lived with me, as that is not part of my character," Larissa noted. "To point fingers and blame others, is something I will not do, as it will be a hypocrisy."
Larissa confirmed late last year she is a mother of two children whom she left in Brazil when she moved to America to live with Colt and his mother Debbie in Las Vegas, NV.

Larissa explained in November 2018 why she does not have custody of either child.

But, once I am really tired of all these rumors and in respect to my followers, I will make a brief about what happened in my past," Larissa wrote on Instagram at the time.
When Larissa was a nursing student in college, she said she left school against her father's wishes and moved in with her then-boyfriend in another state.
"We lived together for [two] years and had a son, the relationship did not [work] out, we had a very bad [break] up," wrote Larissa, who previously revealed to In Touch Weekly the man's name is Marcos Hack.
"Once the father was not paying child support and my family were not talking to me, I found myself, financially and emotionally unable to take care of my son. I spent all my savings and I tried everything to find a job, but in Brazil, as everyone knows, life can be very hard sometimes."
Larissa continued, "For this reason, I decided to let his aunt adopt him, she was always there for me and she loved him very much. This decision still breaks my heart today and it is a very delicate matter to me. It is a regret that I have to live with and I don't need anyone point the finger on my face."
"I already suffered enough. I really hope I can reconnect with him one day when he is old enough to understand that I made the best decision I could," the reality TV star explained.

Larissa claimed to In Touch around the same time as her post that Marcos is a crossdresser and bisexual who allegedly cheated on her with "many other men."

A few years after her failed romance with Marcos, Larissa said she entered a relationship with a different man and the former couple had welcomed a daughter together.
Larissa claimed she had attempted to take care of her daughter by working a minimum-wage job at a clothing store with no help from the little girl's father.
By that time, Larissa had apparently repaired her relationship with her father, and so he took care of his granddaughter when Larissa worked.
"I always [took] care of her and now she is with my father in Brazil temporarily. My father is a retired military man and he and his wife are great grandparents, they have a lot of time for her, I talk to them every day on WhatsApp and I plan to bring her to live with us very soon," Larissa shared on Instagram.
"I wanted to try my life here with Colt first, I want to move to a 'biggie house' and make sure the relationship will work out before I bring her. I also want to open my business to be able to support my daughter," she concluded.
Prior to Larissa's confirmation that she has two children back in Brazil, online rumors had claimed Larissa has three kids who were still living in the country without her.

Larissa is currently starring on Season 4 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?. Recently-aired footage showed Larissa and Colt's marriage strengthening after her domestic violence case was dismissed in court.
Prior to the spinoff, the couple had also starred on Season 6 of 90 Day Fiance together.
