"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," Larissa, 34, wrote.
"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."
Larissa added, "This is a new chapter in my life and I'm excited to see what happens next."
News of Larissa and Eric's breakup may not come as a surprise to fans because Larissa noticeably unfollowed Eric on Instagram and deleted all of their photos together earlier this month, Us Weekly reported.
And on Monday, Eric fueled split rumors when he posted a shirtless photo of himself on Instagram in attempt to promote his OnlyFans page.
"Single N red-e 2 mingle," he reportedly captioned the picture.
Larissa and Eric, 28, met on Tinder and began dating in January 2019 after 90 Day Fiance star Colt Johnson filed for divorce from Larissa.
Larissa and Eric went Instagram official in February 2019, but Larissa announced the couple had decided to split in September 2019 after eight months of dating.

Larissa said there were no hard feelings at the time, but Eric claimed he was shocked and blindsided by Larissa's announcement of their breakup on social media. Larissa also filed a police report against Eric citing harassment, according to The Blast.

"Larissa doesn't want to speak about it anymore because she wants Eric to go away and doesn't want to give him the fame he's thirsty for," a source told Us about the case.
"Eric gave out her number to other women, and they were calling and texting and harassing her nonstop, so she changed her number."
Larissa also told the magazine of her breakup, "I'm done with men and men trying to exploit me."
However, Larissa and Eric were shown reuniting and reconciling on Season 5 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, which aired this past summer.
"My feeling for Eric is above all my relationships and bigger than I have felt with Colt. I always was in love with Eric when we are dating, but I decide to break up with him because of all the kind of relationship problems, and I thought that he [didn't] admire me anymore," Larissa said in a confessional.
"But I miss being in a relationship with him because Eric isn't perfect but he always tried to help me out when we were together and he doesn't judge me for anything that [I've done] in my life."

After two months of not speaking to Eric at all, Larissa and Eric met at a restaurant to talk things out, and Larissa apologized for the police report and wrongly accusing him of dishing out her phone number to random women.

"When we were good, we were good... I just feel we should take things a lot more slowly... We need to communicate a lot better and not get so frustrated with each other," Eric told Larissa. "I just don't want to fight like we used to."
Eric claimed he just wanted to make Larissa happy, and so Larissa gushed to the cameras, "The heart wants what [it wants], so I am very hopeful that we can work. I hope we can leave all the problems in the past and everything will be happy."
Larissa's best friend Carmen didn't approve of Larissa's decision to take Eric back, so Carmen kicked her out of her house. As a result, Larissa decided to move into Eric's Las Vegas house.
Larissa then discovered Eric had trash-talked her to his family, friends and even strangers when they were broken up, but Eric apologized and said he acted out of pain and a broken heart.
Eric also agreed to "invest" in Larissa's plastic surgery transformation by providing the money upfront to pay for her breast augmentation and nose job. Eric told Larissa that she needed to pay him back with interest.

Eric helped Larissa through her recovery and was at her every beck and call. He told the cameras he didn't realize how much he loved and cared for Larissa until he saw her hurting and in pain.
Two months after Larissa's surgery, Larissa confirmed she and Eric were having more sex, but Eric pointed out, "Not enough."
Eric added however, "Things are good -- better than they've been."
Larissa disclosed her Green Card was still processing, and Eric said they had a lot to figure out before thinking about getting married.
Larissa then appeared on Part 1 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s Season 5 Tell-All on September 27 with Eric by her side.
Larissa gushed about Eric on Instagram in July, telling her followers, "There were many people, many whom I used to be close to, that tried to turn Eric against me. They even went as far to stage that he was against me and vengeful. Eric has always accepted me for who I am. For the good and the bad. For my victories and challenges. I am happy."

And Eric said he had met his "match" in Larissa in early September, when everything was still fine between the couple.
Larissa and Eric then left Las Vegas and moved to Colorado together. On September 17, Eric announced on Instagram he had sold his home in Las Vegas.
Larissa announced in late September she was released from her contract by TLC after uploading racy content on a live-streaming webcam platform.

After reportedly spending $72,000 on multiple plastic-surgery procedures, Larissa unveiled her dramatic new look and busty figure on CamSoda by starring in a one-hour oil show in sexy lingerie and a g-string bathing suit.
Eric, however, appeared to support the Brazil native through it all, including a September arrest by ICE that resulted in Larissa being placed in removal proceedings in accordance with the Immigration and Nationality Act, TMZ reported.
