Erika and her girlfriend, Stephanie Matto, were the first lesbian couple to participate in the "90 Day Fiancé" series. While they broke up at the end of the season, many fans felt that the couple’s appearance on the show was an important milestone for the LBGQT community. According to Daily Mail, last week, some pictures of Erika emerged over the Internet, and fans were shocked by the vast difference between her present and past appearance.

Fans noticed that Erika had undergone a makeover to make her lips plumper and pout. She also did not have any tattoos on her arms in the leaked pictures. The only constant feature in Erika’s appearance has been her nose ring, which she still had even in her teenage years.
Fans reaction over Erika's old pictures
Erika’s makeover elicited mixed reactions from fans. While many praised her for improving her appearance, some noted that she looked more innocent in her teenage years. However, Erika has said that she is comfortable with the decisions she has made regarding her appearance. In a recent interview, the Australian reality star also revealed that she did not get along with Stephanie during their time on "90 Day Fiancé." Although the couple appeared to get along on-screen, Erika has revealed that she did not spend any time with her girlfriend when the cameras stopped rolling.
The 24-year-old said that Stephanie’s attitude towards her friends put a strain on their relationship. She admitted that her relationship with Stephanie had some good moments, but they were too few to make her want to continue dating her.
