A popular reality show, My 600-lb Life, has been captivating audiences since it first premiered on TLC in 2012.

The show follows morbidly obese individuals on their weight loss journeys as they attempt to improve their health and quality of life.

One of the most memorable participants from season 10 is Julian Valentine, who began his journey on the show weighing a staggering 830 pounds. With the help of Dr. Now, Julian committed himself to a healthier lifestyle and managed to lose an impressive 279 pounds in less than two years. His progress was documented on the show, giving viewers an inside look at his inspiring transformation.

During a follow-up episode of My 600-lb Life: Where Are They Now?, Julian shared some exciting updates with fans. He revealed that he had landed a full-time job in tech support, complete with benefits. This achievement not only showcased his commitment to improving his health but also his determination to build a better future for himself.

Julian’s weight loss journey was reportedly motivated by his desire to be a better husband to his wife, Irma. Together, they even welcomed his sister’s infant son into their family. However, reports suggest that Julian and Irma have since gone their separate ways, though the details surrounding their split remain unclear. Despite this, it seems that Julian has found love again with a new woman in his life.

As fans eagerly anticipate news of a possible renewal for a 13th season of My 600-lb Life, they can catch up on past episodes by streaming them on TLC GO and Discovery+. The show’s 12th season concluded in April 2024, leaving viewers hopeful for more inspiring weight loss journeys to come.
