Custodio’s baby news comes just a little more than a month after she split from her ex-husband on the former couple’s two-year wedding anniversary. During their run on 90 Day Fiancé, Custodio moved to Connecticut after she met Jessen at a yacht party in Croatia. While they tied the knot, there was apparently trouble in their relationship, with the couple marking their two-year anniversary by sharing news of their split, with Jessen writing alongside a photo from their wedding, “today is only our second wedding anniversary and, sadly, our last.” He called their marriage “a Covid-19 casualty,” explaining that their “situation” throughout the pandemic had “completely drained” him. He said that he “did not maintain the strength of mind and the fortitude to be the husband that you wanted me to be.”
In her own post, Custodio confirmed that the pandemic was one factor in their split, but not the only one. Thanking Jessen for the “beautiful memories” with his family, she explained that she began to feel like a “maid” within their unit, adding that “the hardest part for me was to picture you as someone that would be by my side, and unfortunately you showed something completely different.” Amid the split and her pregnancy news, Custodio got ahead of any haters by concluding her Sunday announcement with, “Pls: if you have nothing good to say, please just leave.”
