While Varya Malina tries to keep a happy and positive face on her Instagram, right now things are truly getting to the Russian beauty. The 90 Day Fiancé alum recently gave an update on the status of Geoffrey’s appeal against his 18-year sentence.

Varya, 33, met Geoffrey, 44, on an international dating website and the pair enjoyed a long-distance relationship until he flew to Russia to meet her in person. Fans first met the couple on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 4, where they had their ups and downs, but finally got engaged in the season’s finale. However, before they could wed, Geoffrey was sentenced to 18 years behind bars without parole for domestic violence against a former girlfriend.

In fact, the TLC reality star was found guilty of aggravated kidnapping, domestic assault, and interference with emergency calls. He filed an official appeal against the sentence in July 2022. Fast forward to now and Varya has given her social media followers an update on Instagram.

About Geoffrey’s appeal

In a new Instagram Story, Varya reminded her followers that the latest appeal date was April 25, 2023. She went on to explain that they were granted an oral argument, which she said is a good sign, as it doesn’t happen in every case in the appellate court. She added:

The argument went as we expected, the judges seemed to be very reasonable and asked many questions. Now, it’s only a matter of time. No one knows when the decision will be made.

For Varya, the uncertainty over the appeal is “the most torturing thing,” and it stresses them both out. Meanwhile, the Russian beauty explained that it could take two weeks or even nine months. In her Instagram Story, Varya said her reaction is to either lie in her bed with her “eyes and ears shut to the world, or to constantly travel to try and escape from reality.

It does look like she is still living in Geoffrey’s Tennessee home, as in her Instagram bio she wrote, “Siberia raised➙ TN based.” Varya has been looking after Geoffrey’s dogs while he is in prison and is also managing Geoffrey’s rental partnerships in his absence. Meanwhile, she makes money as an Instagram influencer and in a program where she gains income from Instagram Reels.

While Geoffrey is locked away from her, Varya tries to keep a positive outlook and is always smiling and joking in her posts. Hopefully, the estranged couple will finally get some good news soon.
