Luke returned to the U.S. and took a regular 9-to-5 job to pay off the debt he accumulated while dating Madelein.

Luke Berry has always carried himself like a big‑dream entrepreneur, but anyone watching his journey could see that money management was never his strong suit.

Every new idea he invested in seemed to cost more than it earned, and instead of building stability, he kept sinking deeper into risky ventures. Dating Madelein Pérez only amplified the financial strain. Between long‑distance trips, lifestyle upgrades, and Luke trying to impress her with plans far bigger than his actual budget, the relationship drained whatever savings he had left. By the time filming wrapped, he wasn’t just stretched thin—he was broke.

Word on the streets is that Luke and Madelein quietly split after filming *90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way*. Their “honeymoon phase” didn’t last long, and rumors say Luke returned to the U.S. almost immediately and started seeing someone new. Meanwhile, Madelein used what money she had left to travel to France then to Spain before eventually returning to Colombia. The contrast between them was striking: she was traveling across continents, while Luke was back home trying to rebuild from the financial crater the relationship and his failed ventures left behind.

Luke’s recent Instagram stories paint the clearest picture of where things stand now. He’s been spotted with a new woman, but more importantly, he’s back to working again and got himself a regular blue‑collar job—because TLC checks are notoriously small and nowhere near enough to live on for a full year in the U.S. With debt piling up and no investor magically appearing to fund his risky Colombia resort project, returning to the 9‑to‑5 grind might be the smartest move he’s made in years. Instead of waiting for a miracle, he’s finally grounding himself in reality, and honestly, that’s the first step toward getting his life back on track.
