Are Colt Johnson and Vanessa Guerra Still Together?

However, it seems like while they were living apart, Vanessa and Colt’s marriage is still going strong. In a May 2022 episode of 90 Day: Diaries, Colt and Vanessa shared an update on their relationship.

“We’ve been married about 10 months now,” Vanessa said in their joint confessional, which means their footage was filmed in December 2021. “I’ve been staying at my cousin’s house for the past month.”

Colt explained that he spends the day at his mother’s home and then spends the night with his wife. Colt said that he hasn’t put his “best foot forward” in his marriage with Vanessa and admitted to “coddling” his mother while “taking advantage” of his wife’s patience.

Vanessa said she felt more “freedom” at her cousin’s home and she complained that Debbie would “meddle” too much in their relationship and hover and criticize her as she did simple tasks around the home, like cooking breakfast. She admitted that she and Colt “never discussed” how married life would look before they tied the knot. She assumed they would move out of Debbie’s home into their own place, but Colt didn’t think about moving.

“If I could go back and change anything,” she said, “I would probably really discuss our future before getting married.”

In July 2022, Vanessa shared the news that the pair were planning to relocate to Reno, Nevada, and told fans “to wait and see” if Colt’s mother was also making the move. The 90 Day Fiancé alum also shared more insight regarding where her relationship currently stands with Colt.

“It’s had its ups and downs, but we’re happy overall,” she replied to a fan who asked her about married life, before describing how this marriage is different from her first. “I don’t think I was ever really good friends with my ex. I was more of a physical attraction. We had nothing in common. Didn’t communicate or listen to each other. Just had 2 very different needs out of a relationship.”
