The Family Chantel: Is Lidia Morel Too Thin Now? (Her Shocking Fitness Makeover May Be Too Extreme)

The Family Chantel star Pedro Jimeno’s mom, Lidia Morel, has revealed her jaw-dropping weight-loss transformation, but is she going too far? Pedro and Chantel Everett’s love story on 90 Day Fiancé was never their own. Their relationship was entangled in a family drama unlike anything the franchise has seen yet. Pedro’s mother, Lidia, who is a lawyer from the Dominican Republic, appeared in several spin-offs with the couple. Chantel and Lidia’s rocky relationship never turned into anything sweeter throughout her marriage to Pedro. Lidia was shamed for being money-minded and ruining her son’s marriage.

With Chantel and Pedro getting divorced, the franchise found a place for Lidia in a different spin-off. The 57-year-old Lidia was cast in 90 Day Fiancé: Love in Paradise season 3, in which she started dating for the first time after 12 years. Lidia had met a 51-year-old Florida man named Scott Wern. While they were closer in age, Scott preferred younger women to date. He dumped Lidia over language differences and went to meet a young ex who didn’t’ want Scott back. Lidia was heartbroken in the season. However, her revenge makeover is now turning heads.

Lidia also grew her hair naturally and opted for a darker shade of brown for her wavy, voluminous hair. Lidia looked classy and well put together. The hairstyle had taken years off her face.
