90 Day Fiancé: Brandon Gibbs’ Health Issues Explained (Julia Trubkina Gave An Update On How He’s Doing Now)
90 Day: The Last Resort star Brandon Gibbs had been dealing with a secret health condition that landed him in hospital and no one knew about it. Brandon and Julia first appeared in 90 Day Fiancé season 8. The couple had met when Brandon’s friend saw Russian woman Julia dancing at a club in South Korea and made Brandon speak to her over a video call. Julia came to the U.S. after getting engaged to Brandon and immediately took a dislike to her new lifestyle where Julia had to stay on a farm with Brandon’s parents and tend to farm animals.
While Julia reluctantly adjusted to her new role as a daughter-in-law and saw how close Brandon was to his mother and father, she also faced challenges while getting a job in America. Despite being multi-talented, Julia tried her hand at everything from modeling to standup comedy and faced backlash from Brandon when she decided to resume go-go dancing. Julia also didn’t want to have kids and claimed it was because a Russian doctor had told her she would never become a mom. The cracks grew between Brandon and Julia amid them keeping secret upon secret from fans.
Brandon’s Heart Had Almost Stopped
In January 2025, Julia was interviewed by Parade where she shared some unknown details about her life with Brandon. While both Brandon and Julia are quite active on social media, the interview confirmed that they don’t share everything that happens in their lives on Instagram. They could be posting funny Reels but in reality, they could also be dealing with relationship or even health problems. The couple had been away from cameras since their appearance on 90 Day Diaries in January 2024. Most of their issues came to surface on The Last Resort, a year later.
“Everybody see us in social media like bubbly, happy, but people doesn’t know what happened behind the camera.”
“His heart, almost like stop basically.”
Julia revealed the incident took place while they were filming the 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? Tell All. Julia teared up as she recalled the bad memory. Julia also confessed that she never knew how to react to what was happening to Brandon since she had never experienced it before. Julia spoke about Jasmine taunting Brandon by saying he had the “personality of a fart,” which meant that no one wanted to be around the Virginia man.
“The first time Jasmine said, ‘Oh, he got personality like fart.’ I mean, like Jasmine, you will be regret when you know what happened,” Julia mentioned regarding her husband’s anxiety condition.
Brandon Is Working On His Revenge Body
Brandon has continued working out with the same trainer and makes sure to post about his fitness journey regularly on social media. Some of these are joint posts he makes in collaboration with the fitness instructor, Antwain. Brandon uses voiceovers to motivate himself. In one such video posted by Brandon, the voiceover announces the secret to staying motivated at the gym by mentioning going through a “toxic situationship,” getting attached and “heartbroken,” and using that pain to achieve a “revenge body.” The mention of Brandon wanting a revenge body came across as a red flag.
Brandon received questions from his followers asking if he was still together with Julia. Why else would he have wanted a revenge body otherwise? Brandon did not choose to reply to his curious fans. He is still under contract and his storyline on The Last Resort keeps getting better. It wouldn’t be wise for Brandon to reveal if he is still together with Julia. However, the couple have been revealing clues that could help fans piece the pieces of the puzzle together. Julia and Brandon are still together, and the voiceover could have been something the instructor chose.
Is Brandon Still Under Stress In His Marriage?
Brandon still wears his wedding ring. Meanwhile, Julia also works out in the same fitness center with the same trainer. Julia has also been sharing videos from her workout sessions with Antwain. The couple will choose to play mind games with fans until the show confirms their relationship status. Brandon seems to have discovered that the key to having a healthy mind is having a healthy body. A healthy body can contribute to a healthier, more stable mind. Regular physical activity could help Brandon reduce stress and improve his mood, and in turn, help him calm down.
Julia and Brandon are both committed to working things out between them to avoid divorce. Brandon is overly attached to his parents, but he is also devoted to Julia as a husband. Even though Julia cheated on Brandon, he chose to stay with her. Their disagreements may have finally been resolved when they got done filming 90 Day: The Last Resort. There was the question of whether Brandon would make peace with Julia, bringing her parents to America, but it appears he may have agreed to it as well amid Julia agreeing to a second opinion about having a baby.
