90 Day Fiancé star Julia Trubkina has embarked on a shocking new career journey that is not something Brandon Gibbs would shame her for. Julia came to the U.S. from Krasnodar, Russia to get married to her long-distance boyfriend, Brandon. Brandon lived in Virginia on his parents, Ron and Betty Gibbs’ farm. He wanted Julia to help his elderly parents when Julia was already fed up with their constantly monitoring her moves. In December 2024, Julia unveiled a new chapter in her life.
Until March 2021, 90 Day Fiancé fans believed that Julia had only worked as a go-go dancer in her past. Julia now revealed that she had worked 15 odd jobs since her youth. Julia started working when she was just 13 and had experience of a plethora of careers. Julia was made to work by Brandon and her in-laws at their farm in Virginia. She didn’t quite like waking up early in the morning and tending to the animals. Julia was used to living in the city and working with animals and becoming a farmer was never her goal.
