He has since deleted the comment from Ella’s Instagram post. However, it seems that the two are still friends. And as of now, they still follow each other on Instagram.

Ella then posted another video thanking her followers for all of the support and positive comments. She admitted she was expecting more backlash from 90 Day Fiancé fans. It seems that the relationship ended because of the distance. If Johnny comes to the US, will Ella change her mind? Or perhaps Ella would be better suited for the next season of The Single Life.
