Michael Jessen and Juliana Custodio Dating Background and Their Age Gap

Michael while introducing his fiancee says, “My fiancée’s name is Juliana. She’s from Goiania, Brazil. Juliana and I met on a big yacht party that a friend of mine was throwing in Croatia. There were a lot of celebrities there … I remember when I first saw her. She’s beautiful, amazing body — I don’t necessarily believe in love at first sight, but it’s like we were kindred spirits.” He added that Juliana is funny, thoughtful, and smart and that he was “amazed that she was only 20-years-old.”

Michae is currently 42 years old, and her fiancee is 22 years younger that him.

He continues in the promo, “There are certainly a lot of people that may pass judgment, may think I’m just an old sleazy, rich guy going after a young hot woman. It doesn’t bother me at all. I don’t really care.” He continued, “Unfortunately, I had to go back to America. It was really, really hard to say goodbye. But I knew it wasn’t the end. We had such a connection — it was just the beginning of something really beautiful.”

His son even notes in the clip above that Juliana is “closer in age to us than she is to you,” so the age difference between the two is clearly going to play a big part throughout the season.

Juliana has not posted any pictures of her with her beau, but Michael has a handful of photos of Juliana uploaded to his page.

Michael in the promo admits that he is helping Juliana out financially as she attempts to kickstart her modeling career. “While she works to get her modeling career off the ground, I’m here to help her as much as I can,” Michael tells the cameras during a confessional. “So I gave Juliana access to my credit cards.” He adds, “the K1 visa was really the only option to get her to the states. I’m dead-set on marrying her and spending the rest of my life with her … it’s probably the biggest risk I’ve ever taken in my life.”

Michael Jessen and Juliana Custodio Ki Visa

Although the couple is hoping to apply for a K1 Visa this season, it looks like they run into some issues along the way. Over their two-year relationship, both reality stars were denied tourist visas, as per the New York Post. Juliana was reportedly asked if she was a prostitute during one of the interviews, which Michael was quick to deny.

“We were asked during Juliana’s visa interview in Rio de Janeiro if she had worked as a prostitute within the last 10 years,” Michael told the Post. “And, of course, the answer was no. She’s not a prostitute!”

Michael Jessen and Juliana Custodio Hopes to start a Family

In an April 2019 Instagram post, Michael hinted that he and Juliana would like to start a family of their own one day. Juliana can be seen holding an expectant feline in the photo, which is captioned, “Art — a pregnant cat, a hope-to-be mother, bellies juxtaposed, each looking with their own sense of hope…”

Michael Ex-Wife Believes Juliana is interested in his Money

Michael is getting some pushback from his ex-wife about Juliana despite appearing to be head-over-heels crazy about his Brazilian beau. His ex believes Juliana is only interested in Michael because of his money and doesn’t think things will be the same between them when they come back to the U.S., especially once Juliana realizes she will be a step-mother.
