90 Day Fiance: Varya Remains Hopeful
Geoffrey Paschel is currently serving an 18-year prison sentence after being found guilty of aggravated kidnapping, domestic assault, and interference with emergency calls. The former reality star was sentenced in October 2021.

Geoffrey still has a long way to go in his jail time, but Varya remains hopeful. In February 2023, the 90 Day Fiance star admitted in her IG Stories that she’s a “hopeless optimist” when it comes to her inmate lover.
“Knowing the case, speaking to multiple lawyers, I am very positive of the outcome, and I’m waiting for it,” she explained. “Should be soon, though.”
In 2021, Varya put her Florida house for sale and moved into Geoffrey’s Tennessee home to care for his dogs. The reality star also manages his rental properties.
