The Original ‘Joe Millionaire’: Where Is Evan Marriott Now?

Evan Marriott became known to the world when he debuted as the lead in the original Joe Millionaire — one of the first dating shows — in January 2003.
With him in the title role, plus some catching storylines, the reality show’s first season gained over 40 million viewers — which was a huge deal at that time. However, the next season wasn’t very successful, and the show was eventually shut down.
But, in November 2021, Fox released a statement saying that they will be relaunching the show in 2022, and it will be called Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer. With a relaunch in sight, fans have wondered what happened to the first Joe Millionaire? And Where is Evan Marriott now?
Evan Marriott’s Time as the First Joe Millionaire
Before we go any further and learn about his present situation, let’s have a look at his time as the first Joe Millionaire.
Before Marriott, 28 years of age back then, was selected to be on the show, he had formerly worked as an underwear model, considered a career in professional wrestling, and was working as a construction worker at that time. His yearly income was estimated to be $19,000.
However, all of that details were hidden from the 20 women who were told that Marriott has an inheritance of $50 million. “Now I’m living the biggest lie in front of America and I think it’s the most ironic thing in the world,” he reportedly told the show staffers on air, as per Parade.
“This is about all of America seeing 20 girls misled into thinking some guy’s a millionaire … and the more I think about it, the more it eats my brain out, ’cause I really like this girl,” Marriott further said as per the outlet.
The truth was to be revealed among the contestants in the season finale, and if someone still wanted to be with him, despite his working-class condition, they would be given $1 million as prize money.
When that eventually happened in the show’s finale in February 2003, Zora Andrich, a substitute teacher, became the last woman standing, who had chosen Marriott and not his wealth. And as promised, the two were given $1 million to share among themselves.
What Happened to Evan Marriott and Zora Andrich?
Many people have also been wondering what happened to Marriott and Andrich. Are they still together as a couple, or have they already parted ways?

Well, it’s the latter one. They remained together for a while only and ended things shortly after the show ended.
Reports from Screenrant suggest that they broke up on good terms and still keep in touch. The outlet also reported that Andrich is now working in healthcare and also teaches yoga while being a mother of two.
Evan Marriott’s Life after Joe Millionaire
After his stint ended on Joe Millionaire, the Virginia Beach, Virginia native got a shocking treatment from FOX Network. During his exclusive interview with Vulture in 2015, he said that “they took my lot pass and I was out in front of the Fox studios with the door slammed in my face. It was that quick.”
However, as he had become a household name, thanks to Joe Millionaire, he became the host of the Game Show Network show named Fake-a-Date. But that also lasted for one season only as the show got canceled.
Marriott then went on to appear in some TV shows and films. But, he didn’t want to stay in the public eye and preferred his normal life before he got pushed into fame. The public people couldn’t differentiate him from his Joe Millionaire persona. And, neither could he.
“I was having an identity crisis. I wasn’t Evan Marriott, the guy that could go have a casual beer with friends. It’s dissipated, but the first three years, everywhere I’d go [in L.A.], everyone would lookup. And what that does is you start to get paranoid,” he told Vulture.
He continued, “Even though people could have cared less if I got a hamburger or a haircut, I kept thinking, years after the show, somebody’s at my window, somebody’s taking pictures of me, somebody gives a shit about what I’m wearing today. I talked myself into this, and some of it was true and some weren’t, but it took me a while to talk myself out of it.”
Where Is Evan Marriott Now?
Marriott has been keeping a low profile ever since his exit from Joe Millionaire. He doesn’t seem to be available on any social media platforms and has kept a safe distance from the media.
As per reports, the last time he made an appearance in front of huge media coverage was in 2015 when he attended “WE tv’s Evolution of Relationship Reality Shows panel at the Paley Center for Media.”
Unlike his looks in Joe Millionaire, his look at that time was very different. He had gained weight and grown a beard. About the beard part, he jokingly told People that he grew it overnight. “All I do is think about a beard and it comes in,” he further added.

As for what he does now, after realizing that he doesn’t truly belong in Hollywood, he took whatever was left of the Joe Millionaire prize money and invested it in a business.
As per his interview with Vulture, Marriott owns an Orange County, California-based heavy-equipment rental-contracting company. The outlet reported that the profession was the logical extension of his life before the dating show changed it.
He is happy with his present life and what he has now. “If I’m not [happy], then I’ve got a serious screw loose,” he jokingly said in his 2015 interview with DailyPress. “I’ve had a very fortunate life.”
“I’ll probably live here in Orange County for another 20-25 years and then move back to Virginia. I do what I love to do. I work hard and I get tired, but it’s a good kind of tired. At the end of the day, I go home and have a Scotch. I like Scotch,” he further added.
Is Evan Marriott Married Now?
Marriott, who is presently 47 years of age, reportedly lives a single life and is yet to find a perfect partner to share the wedding vows with. Well, that sums up that he doesn’t have a wife yet.
But, did was he in a relationship? Little to no information has been found on his dating life after his time in Joe Millionaire as he lived a private life following the show.
However, there was one significant other before he joined the dating show and amassed the limelight. As he told Vulture, he was in a relationship with a girl named Amy, with whom he broke up just before he went to do the show.
As per him, while he was in France’s Loire valley countryside – for the filming of Joe Millionaire – he “had this beautiful view, and I would sit there every night with a beer in my hand and the phone in my ear.”
He was talking to Amy as he was “trying to get back together with her.” He later added that he should have won an Emmy award for the dance and kiss he did with Zora as all he wanted to do was get back to his love, Amy.
Besides that, he didn’t give out further details on what happened afterward. And the mystery around the topic remains the same.
How Much is Evan Marriott’s Net Worth?
As per Celebrity Net Worth, Marriott reportedly has an estimated net worth of $1.5 million.

All about Alabama Barker’s upcoming make-up line.

Alabama Barker, an internet personality, is set to launch her own makeup line this year.
Life and Style Magazine reported in December 2021 that Barker was launching a makeup line.
The report came after a fan commented on one of her TikTok videos, “If you made a makeup line, I would literally buy every product double,” to which Barker replied, “I am, babe,” with several cute emojis.

Unfortunately, the internet personality did not reveal details about her line’s release. However, she is surrounded by plenty of businesswomen who can help her. After all, her father, Travis, is married to Kourtney Kardashian.
Barker’s stepmother Kourtney founded Poosh.com, and her sisters, Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian, both own major beauty brands.
Jenner recently added a new product to her beauty line. On March 22, 2023, the 25-year-old entrepreneur launched a mascara line under her Kylash brand. Her volume mascara is designed to give full, lifted, defined lashes that feel weightless. The mascara line has been in development for more than a year. She registered the Kylash trademark in April 2022.
Moreover, according to a TMZ report, Jenner is working on cosmetic preparations, extension fibers, eyelash serums, tints, and eye makeup remover for her line.
Barker might have drawn inspiration from her stepmother’s sister’s success in the cosmetics industry. She also unquestionably received immense support and guidance from the Kardashians.

Barker is estimated to have a net worth of $1 million. However, this figure is not verified because her actual earnings and net worth are yet to be revealed.

Furthermore, Barker is the daughter of American musician Travis, so her lifestyle is lavish. As previously stated, the internet personality is going to release her own line of cosmetics, so her net worth could increase shortly.

Inside Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman’s Height Difference
There is a noticeable height difference between Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman.

Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are both British actors who are perhaps best known for their roles in the television series Sherlock, which aired from 2010 to 2017.
In the series, Cumberbatch played the title character, Sherlock Holmes, while Freeman portrayed his sidekick, Dr. John Watson. Fans of the show have been obsessed with the height difference between the two actors, with many taking to social media to discuss and comment on it.
According to their IMDB bios, Cumberbatch stands at 6’0″ (183 cm) while Freeman stands at 5’7″ (170 cm). This means there is a noticeable height difference between the two actors when they appear on screen together.
Fans reacted to the height differences
Fans have been discussing the height difference between Cumberbatch and Freeman, and this has been a topic of discussion and memes on social media.
Twitterati has burst with a post that compared the height of these two The Hobbit actors. One Twitter user posted a photo where Cumberbatch and Freeman stood together.
She wrote in the caption, “I’m the same height as martin freeman.. So this is basically mine and benedict Cumberbatch’s heights compared..”

The post compared the height of both actors from their hands to their heads.
On a fan page dedicated to Cumberbatch, a photo was posted featuring Coca-Cola bottles of varying heights, with the bottle labeled ‘Ben’ being taller than the one labeled ‘Martin.’
The caption mocked the height of Cumberbatch and Freeman as it read, “even the height difference is accurate…”

Like the meme above, one of the Twitter users tweeted, “Benedict Cumberbatch is 14 Martin Freemans tall.”
In reply to the tweet, another user tweeted, “But when Benedict Cumberbatch takes his shoes off, his mouth is magically level with Martin Freeman’s face. Nature has decreed it so.”
The tall height of Cumberbatch alone has always dragged the attention of the fans. One fan tweeted, “I hate when I’m trying to sleep then I’m overwhelmed with the need to google something, like how tall is Benedict Cumberbatch I need to know.”
Similarly, the other one wrote on Twitter, “So, I just met Benedict Cumberbatch. I can’t stop shaking. How is he so tall? I barely come up to his frickin’ shoulder.”
Something not well between Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman
It’s not surprising that Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are compared to each other, especially since Freeman also played a dwarf in the movie The Hobbit. Along with the fan’s comparison, there was a certain feud seen among the actors.
Mirror, in 2014, also reported that the two actors had a “toxic feud” on the set of the hit TV series Sherlock. According to the article, tensions rose between the two stars due to creative differences and egos. Freeman reportedly felt overshadowed by Cumberbatch’s popularity and the attention his character, Sherlock Holmes, was receiving.
According to the anonymous source, the two actors had a complicated working relationship and barely spoke to each other by the end of the show’s third season. It also suggested that Freeman’s dissatisfaction with the show’s direction may have contributed to his decision to leave after the fourth season.
Freeman, known for his role in The Office, has expressed his dissatisfaction with the overwhelming fan attention that comes with starring in Sherlock.“Being in that show, it is a mini-Beatles thing. People’s expectations, some of it’s not fun anymore,” he said.
In contrast, during an interview with The Telegraph in April 2018, Cumberbatch expressed his disagreement and criticized his co-star’s remarks. He noted, “I’m very grateful for the support, but that’s about it. It takes on its own thing. But that happens with every franchise or entity like this.”
