Meisha Johnson has become a regular cast member in the franchise since appearing on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. The Minnesota native was once an on-air journalist who loved her job and enjoyed being in front of the cameras. However, something changed in 2008 when Meisha experienced a “spiritual awakening,” which opened her eyes and filled her heart with joy. She saw two suns suspended outside her living room window, which caused her to believe in God and Christianity. It inspired her to leave her glamorous job and become a Roman Catholic woman.
Meisha encountered many challenges while raising her children as a single mom. She faced even more obstacles when she quit her job to become the Director of Pastoral Care in a church. Ultimately, Meisha found support and guidance from Nicola Kanaan, who helped her navigate her religious journey. She developed feelings for him and decided to pursue a deeper relationship. As they dated for several years, Meisha discovered that Nicola was a 46-year-old virgin. She also grappled with the strains of cultural differences, which continued to impact their relationship on the show.
Meisha’s Journey On 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days Season 6
Meisha joined the cast of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 6 to showcase her relationship with Nicola. She traveled to Israel to meet him and get to know his family. As expected, things turned dark when Nicola admitted he felt uneasy about introducing Meisha to his family. He thought that his mother would not like the fact that he was dating an American woman who already had children with another man. Fortunately, Nicola’s worries didn’t translate into reality. His mother accepted Meisha and treated her like her daughter-in-law.
Meisha and Nicola faced many ups and downs during the 90 Day Fiancé spin-off. However, they ultimately got engaged in Israel and ended the season on a positive note. Unfortunately, the Israeli–Palestinian conflict unexpectedly put plans to get married on hold. The two became distant again, with Meisha living in the United States and Nicola staying in Israel. In October 2023, Meisha told her fans that Nicola and his family were safe.
She said, “I’ve spoken with him several times today, and they are safe,” adding that Nicola is living in the “northern side” of Israel, which is relatively safer.
Meisha’s Become Close Friends With Kimberly Menzies
While Nicola has left reality TV, Meisha continues to maintain a relationship with the 90 Day Fiancé franchise.
Over the months, she has kept in touch with various cast members from the franchise. She has also filmed 90 Day Fiancé: Pillow Talk alongside co-stars, including Robert Springs, Patrick Mendes, Gabriel Pabon, the Silva sisters, and others. However, it seems Meisha’s favorite co-star is Kimberly Menzies, who has tried to spend time with her. Meisha and Kimberly share many similarities, from their beliefs to their mutual love for 90 Day Fiancé. Both are single mothers who’ve raised wonderful children.
In November 2024, Kimberly posted a photo album on Instagram. She discussed her friendship with Meisha and wrote, “love this friendship we have! The silliness, laughter and endless conversations are the BEST.” Kimberly’s post featured videos of her and Meisha laughing and having silly conversations. It also showed photos of them eating together and being absolute besties. Meisha loves Kimberly and adores Kimberly’s son, Jamal Menzies. She likes to joke around with him like an aunt would with her nephew.
According to Meisha, Kimberly and her are “literally sisters from another mother!”
Meisha Is A Catholic Influencer
Meisha has a unique presence on social media. Unlike other cast members, she uses popularity to drive her followers toward faith and spirituality.
She calls herself a “Catholic Influencer” and enjoys spreading positivity and love. Since her appearance on TV, Meisha has made hundreds of posts about peace and prosperity. She has shared slices of her life on social media, showing her beautiful relationship with her daughters and her friendship with her co-stars. Meisha prioritizes faith and family above everything else, which is why she has over 70k active followers who love her.
Meisha also uses her Instagram to update the 90 Day Fiancé viewers on her relationship status. She enjoys telling fans to be kind instead of getting into mindless conflicts. In November 2024, Meisha dedicated a post to the United States elections, telling people her views. She wrote, “no matter who the next president is, Jesus is still king,” asking people to fulfill their civic duty and vote while maintaining peace and joy. The reality star received close to 1000 likes on her motivational post. 90 Day Fiancé franchise co-stars like Tyray Mollett and Jasmine Pineda showed faith in Meisha’s message.
Is Meisha Still With Nicola?
In September 2024, Meisha shared huge news with fans when she posted a video with Nicola from the United States. The mother of two looked really happy and confirmed that her Israeli fiancé was visiting her. So far, most clues hint that Meisha and Nicola have split up for good. However, they seem to have maintained their friendship and continue to stay in touch as usual. Meisha and Nicola still follow each other on social media. They like each other’s posts and often support one another like good friends.
Meisha has confirmed her feelings for Nicola. While replying to a fan who wrote, “so nice they stayed friends,” the American woman revealed she and Nicole were more than just friends. She replied, “like family,” letting fans know Nicola isn’t her buddy but an important part of her family. It’ll be interesting to see if Meisha and Nicola’s closeness will lead them to rekindle their romantic relationship. The two share similar values and religious beliefs. The former 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days couple would make for a great couple if they decided to give their relationship another chance.
