Patrick Mendes’ Journey After 90 Day Fiancé Season 9: What You Need to Know

90 Day Fiancé enthusiasts are eager to learn about Patrick Mendes and his current life following his appearance in season 9. Patrick’s romantic journey with Brazilian native Thaís Ramone evolved quickly, leading them to apply for a K-1 visa and feature in the reality television series. Hailing from Austin, Texas, Patrick has deep familial ties to Brazil, and it was during his search for a Portuguese tutor on a dating app that he crossed paths with Thaís. Remarkably, just 11 months after their first meeting, the couple became engaged.

Upon Thaís’s arrival in the U.S., she expressed concerns about Patrick not disclosing his income and the fact that his brother, John McManus, was residing with them. Additionally, Thaís’s father, Carlos, was not particularly fond of Patrick. Nevertheless, the couple wed on February 22, 2022. Patrick’s previous marriage ended in divorce, initiated by his wife in January 2020, likely due to his prioritization of career over marital responsibilities. It’s worth noting that Patrick, a former weightlifter, had tested positive for human growth hormone prior to the 2012 Olympics.

During the 90 Day Fiancé season 9 Tell All, Thaís announced her pregnancy, much to the delight of fans who had been speculating based on her Instagram posts. On November 15, 2023, the couple joyfully revealed the arrival of their first child, baby daughter Aleesi Ramone Mendes, who weighed 6 lbs., 4 oz. and measured 18 inches at birth. In their announcement, Patrick and Thaís expressed their nervousness leading up to the delivery but felt incredibly blessed to welcome a healthy and perfect baby.

As of November 2024, they celebrated Aleesi’s second birthday. Patrick’s Instagram is filled with cherished family moments, particularly holiday photos that highlight their happiness together. While the couple doesn’t seem to be rushed into expanding their family, they haven’t ruled out the possibility in the future.

Patrick’s journey in weightlifting has been remarkable, showcasing his ongoing physical transformation that serves as an inspiration for many. Following the birth of Aleesi, Thaís began her own fitness journey, shedding 38 pounds from her pregnancy weight of 178 pounds, and she feels great about her progress. Meanwhile, Patrick, who had once tipped the scales at 299 pounds, has also seen significant results. Currently, he maintains a weight of around 230-240 pounds after adopting a healthier lifestyle and participating in fitness classes.

Recently, Patrick shared on Instagram that he has stabilized his weight around the 230-240 lb mark, a remarkable achievement considering his past challenges. The couple continued their adventures on the Happily Ever After? season 9, where their narrative revolved around their trip to Brazil, allowing Thaís’s family to meet Aleesi and celebrate her first birthday. The journey also spotlighted some financial tensions, as Thaís felt Patrick’s father was exploiting him financially, leading to conflicts.

During the Brazil trip, John accompanied Patrick and Thaís, which resulted in some dramatic moments, including a drink being thrown at John by Thaís’s friend. However, by the conclusion of the trip, they reached an understanding and respected each other. Patrick managed to earn Thaís’s father’s blessing for their marriage, solidifying his role as a family member.
