90 Day Fiancé’s Colt Johnson continues to keep his distance from estranged wife Vanessa Guerra.
“We’re divorced or working on it, but yeah, we’re not really talking,” Colt, 39, exclusively told Us Weekly at Us’ 90 Days: Hunt For Love party on Monday, May 19. “We’re not communicating. It makes me sad, but things happen I guess.”
Colt’s relationship with Vanessa, 35, was first introduced on season 5 of 90 Day: Happily Ever After? in June 2020. At the time, he was in a relationship with Jess Caroline and claimed Vanessa was just a “best friend.”
During the show’s tell-all episode, however, Colt admitted to getting romantic with Vanessa during his relationship with Jess.
This summer, Colt is trying to leave any drama in the past and receive a second chance at love when he competes on 90 Days: Hunt for Love.
“I’m recently divorced, so I really just wanted to try something new and just put myself out there,” he explained to Us at Gitano in New York City. “I’m feeling pretty good. Got some new glasses. I feel pretty good.”
In 90 Days: Hunt for Love, eight singles from the 90 Day universe will embark on a new quest for love as they travel to Tulum, Mexico, for a unique opportunity. Joined by fresh faces and romantic hopefuls, these love-hungry alums will create must-see TV as they jump back into the dating game.
While Colt couldn’t share too much about his experience, he did admit there were a couple of people he was surprised to see on the show.
“I would say Cortney [Reardanz] because I never met her before, but I saw her before,” he shared. “Then Chantel [Everett] obviously took [me] by surprise. She looked different. I haven’t seen her. I saw her years ago, so, yeah.”
90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days’ Tim Malcolm, Jennifer Tarazona and Usman Umar are also part of the cast, alongside 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way alum Tiffany Franco and 90 Day: The Last Resort’s Rob Warne.
One person extra excited to watch Colt’s new show is his mom, Debra Johnson.
“She’s happy,” Colt teased to Us before the premiere. “She always wants me to put myself out there, try new things. So yeah, she’s very supportive.”
90 Date: Hunt for Love premieres on TLC Monday, May 26, at 8 p.m. ET with episodes streaming on Max. Hunt for Love: Between the Sheets after show airs following every new episode.
