Ella Johnson's boyfriend, Johnny Chao, wanted her to lose weight on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. The Idaho native is showing her progress.

Former 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days star Ella Johnson showed off her weight loss transformation on Instagram. The 29-year-old was introduced on 90 Day Fiancé as the “Asian obsessed” girlfriend of Chinese man Johnny Chao, 34. Owing to her fascination with anime characters, Ella found herself looking for an "Asian Prince" and found Johnny on a “White Women Asian Men” online group. Johnny, who also wanted to be a cowboy, decided to spend the rest of his life with Ella on her Idaho farm. But COVID-19 put a break in Ella and Johnny’s romance.

Johnny is divorced and a single dad to son Stony, who was being looked after by his elderly parents while he worked in the city. Johnny’s family depended on him for money, but he decided to quit his job so he could stay with Ella for three months. However, Johnny got cold feet due to the increase in COVID-19 cases, as he feared that he wouldn’t be able to afford treatment in America or that his family would suffer if something were to happen to him. Ella disregarded Johnny’s fears. Due to her being in the long-distance relationship for one-and-a-half years, she yearned for physical pleasure.

Ella convinced Johnny to get into an open relationship, which he declined. But Ella cheated on him, despite her being aware of how much he was in love with her. Ella and Johnny’s current relationship status is unknown. Alongside that, Ella has been working on improving her health and seems to have begun a fitness transformation. The Idaho Falls native posted a nice and bright photo of herself standing tall next to a tree on her Instagram Stories. The scenery in Ella’s background made her look even more beautiful while dressed in a white floral printed top and denim shorts.

Fans have seen a visible difference between how Ella used to look on 90 Day Fiancé and how she now looks on her Instagram. Recently, Ella was photographed at La Quinta Inn in Idaho with a fan who works at the hotel. Ella’s bold fashion choice of pairing a galaxy T-shirt with leggings printed with astrological signs was laughed at. Still, a few fans noticed Ella looked slimmer, possibly from her weight loss. On 90 Day Fiancé, Ella’s weight seemed to have been something that bothered Johnny, who was even seen buying Chinese herbs to make her thin.

Ella herself joined a gym to lose around 10 pounds before Johnny could arrive in the U.S. Whether Johnny has met Ella in person yet is not known. Still, she appears to now be focusing on herself instead of pining for a man she probably liked because of her love for Asian culture. After the 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days Tell-All, in which Ella was roasted for spending her birthday with a strange man in her house, the rancher confessed that fans will meet her again in a new season of 90 Day Diaries. While this spin-off could shed much-needed light on Ella and Johnny’s relationship status, fans are loving this new version of Ella they’re getting to see on social media.
