He was the guy with the space suits. The man who ripped his pants on national television and then tried to sell them for $28,000. If you watched Season 9 of the TLC hit, you know Jibri Bell from 90 Day Fiancé wasn't exactly a wallflower. He was loud, he was colorful, and honestly, he was a lot to take in.
But where is he now?
If you look at his Instagram today, you won’t see the matching neon outfits or the "rich glam" lifestyle he and his ex-wife, Miona Bell, flaunted in Palm Springs. Instead, you'll see a man with a shaved head, meditating by the Ganges River in India or living out of a backpack in Thailand. It’s a wild 180.
The Breakup That Everyone Saw Coming (Sorta)
Let’s be real: the "Black Serbs" frontman and the Serbian influencer were a polarizing duo. They moved from his parents’ house in South Dakota to a flashy life in California faster than you can say "K-1 visa." For a while, it looked like they were winning. Jibri was hyping up Miona’s ponytail business, claiming she became a millionaire in a year.
Then, the silence hit.
Around late 2023, the matching outfits stopped. The photos were archived. By early 2024, the truth came out. They weren't just "taking a social media break." They were done.

Jibri eventually admitted that his fear of long-term commitment was a major factor. He basically said he hits a "four or five-year wall" and throws in the towel. Miona, on the other hand, didn't hold back as much. She’s hinted that Jibri was "lazy" or focused on "scams" rather than building a real future.
Ouch.
From Palm Springs to a Buddhist Monastery
While Miona moved on fast—she’s already bought a house with a new boyfriend, a TV producer named Terzel Ron—Jibri went the opposite direction. He didn't just find a new girl; he tried to find a new soul.
He headed to Southeast Asia.
- The "Monk Fade": In Thailand, Jibri shaved his head and eyebrows. He called it a "renunciation of worldly ego."
- Minimalism: He traded the luxury cars for tripods and solo travel.
- India: He spent time in Varanasi, bathing in the Ganges and talking about "Jibri being dead" to his old self.
It sounds like a mid-life crisis, but he seems genuinely more at peace. Or at least, he’s posting about peace instead of arguing with John Mendes at a Tell-All. Remember that? Jibri was the "villain" of the Season 9 reunion, attacking everyone else’s relationship while his own was secretly fracturing.
What Most People Get Wrong About Jibri
A lot of fans think Jibri was just "faking it" for the cameras. And sure, the "millionaire" claims about the ponytails felt a bit inflated. But if you look at his history, the guy has always been a nomad. He met Miona while touring with his band in Serbia. He’s always been obsessed with "the hustle."
The problem? The hustle didn't pay the bills as well as Miona’s business did.
There’s a lot of talk about the "90 Day Curse," but Jibri’s story is more about two people who wanted different things. Miona wanted the American Dream—the house, the stable income, the glam. Jibri wanted to be a "rockstar," even if that meant being broke and living in his mom's house.
Where He Is in 2026
As of now, Jibri is still leaning hard into the "world traveler" brand. He’s been seen in Japan, Malaysia, and even back in Serbia. It’s a bit ironic, isn't it? He travels to his ex-wife’s home country while she stays in his.
He’s still making music, but it’s more "spiritual" and "reflective" now. No more neon space suits.
What You Can Learn From the Jibri Saga
If you’re following Jibri Bell for more than just the drama, there are a few takeaways from his journey:
- Social Media is a Lie: Never trust a "millionaire" post on Instagram, especially if they were just living in a basement six months prior.
- Travel Isn't Always a Cure: Jibri is clearly trying to "find himself" abroad, but as the saying goes, wherever you go, there you are. 3. Accountability Matters: Whether you like him or not, Jibri eventually took the heat for the breakup. He didn't just blame Miona; he admitted he’s got "commitment issues."
If you want to keep up with Jibri, his YouTube is probably your best bet. He’s ditched the joint "Jibri and Miona" channel and is now documenting his solo adventures. Just don't expect to see any more matching ponytails.
Check his latest vlogs if you're curious about the "new" Jibri. It’s a far cry from the guy who fought with his bandmates in a South Dakota studio, and honestly, that’s probably for the best.
