The 90 Day Fiancé star has one of the most controversial lives ever. For a person regularly in the spotlight, she always has something new to wow her fans with. Her controversial dating life makes it seem like she's more drawn to fame than real love; she sure knows how to get people talking. Unlike most celebrities, very little is actually known about her childhood and upbringing.
It’s like she came out of the blue onto 90 Day Fiancé, the show that shot her into the world of fame and fortune. You probably didn't know she had a twin sister in the same line of work as hers. Or that Jesse Meester is 20 years her junior. Here are more amazing facts you don't know about her.
SHE OWNS A CLOTHING LINE
With her, every attempt to get a foothold in the film industry was going south, the business mogul's only hope was to push her clothing line. She launched the fashion line, House of Eleven, through a partnership with her sister. Her designs are worn by iconic celebrities, including Demi Lovato, Nicki Minaj, and Jessica Alba.
From the outside, her brand seems to be the next big thing, but then taking a look at its Instagram page, the business looks dormant. Their previously announced plans to launch a shoe line hasn't materialized either, let’s hope the twins have something big cooking.
SHE GOT DROPPED FROM MY ADVENTURES WITH SANTA
Last year Darcey was super excited while filming her latest movie The Adventures with Santa. We were all expecting it to be something big until they removed her character, an elf named Selah, leaving Darcey out in the cold. Things went sour when the movie recently came out, and Darcey wasn't part of it.
So, was she dropped last minute from the cast, or did she opt-out? There was no mention of her name on the credits of the recently released Christmas movie, either. What's most puzzling is that Darcey was on the movie's trailer but sadly not on the film itself.
SHE HAS TRIED TO GET BIG SCREEN ROLES
Darcey and her twin sister didn't grow up in the spotlight, but they did dream of being on the big screen someday. Before her big break in 90 Day Fiancé, she had tried out other films unsuccessfully, including reality shows.
Other than providing background vocals for the music on White T, she also has a single track Lock Your Number, a pop dance song that she sang with her sister. They both featured in their company's production, White T in minor roles. The two might have their occasional wrangles and disagreements, but they sure know how to make money together.
SHE’S A MOVIE PRODUCER
The entrepreneurial actress co-founded a production company Eleventh Entertainment in 2010 with her twin sister, Stacey Silva. The two sisters have worked as co-executive producers alongside their father, Mike Silva. Darcey worked in the production of a comedy film, White T in 2013 that featured famous TV stars with the likes of Erick Johnson and Terrence Jenkins.
This was the first movie that Darcey got production credits for though she might have been part of others that no one knows about. The company produces inspirational films with one of its products being the 2015 film Soul Ties.
SHE SANG FOR HER BROTHER
Silva has some magical vocals that she has put into good use. Her establishment on reality tv has brought her enough fame to support the launch of her songs. Though her pop dance tracks have failed miserably, she still has the potential for a comeback. Her song Always in My Heart was a heartfelt tribute to her brother Michael J. Silva II.
Michael was a member of the New Haven police academy before he tragically succumbed to cancer in 1998. Not much about the Silva twins' personal life is known, but the tune was a fantastic gesture by the pair.
SHE LOST WEIGHT THROUGH PLASTIC SURGERY
Sagging skin, excess weight gain and wrinkles are sometimes a woman's worst nightmares, especially if your career is pegged on your looks. More often than not, celebrities go for the usual fillers and facelifts, and if its really bad, then a whole makeover is the next best option.
Darcey shocked the world with her almost perfect body transformation that got everybody wondering what type of diet she was on. Her magical weight loss was achieved through plastic surgery. Though she got all sorts of judgmental remarks from everyone, she was not moved, and truthfully, she looked amazing.
SHE MET TOM BROOKS ONLINE
Darcy’s dating life since she started starring in 90 Day Fiancé has been extremely shaky. She started the first and second season with Jesse Meester in a relationship that seemed dead on arrival. The two did more arguing than sharing special moments. While they were still together, she met Tom Brooks on a dating site, sounds unreal, but yes, it's true.
The two dated online for a while before taking things to a more personal level. The relationship didn't last long. Apparently, she was two-timing both her exes, Jesse and Tom. And Tom was also cheating. The love triangle turned into a maze.
HER TEEN KIDS ARE VERY SUPPORTIVE
To everyone's utter disbelief, Darcey Silva is a mother. She has two incredible daughters Aspen and Aniko, with her ex-husband Frank Bollok, who deserve a warm round of applause for being so loving to their mom. She recently posted a photo of the glamorous teenagers on her Instagram; they might be the next generation of upcoming stars.
The countless warnings she's gotten from her sister over her love life seem to be falling on deaf ears. Nothing can stop the 39-year old actress from searching for love, and her children support her.
HER BOYFRIEND DENIED THEIR ENGAGEMENT
Darcey has indeed achieved stardom on 90 day Fiancé, but part of her regrets is revealing so much of her private life to the public. While dating Tom Brooks, she once shared a photo of a ring suggesting they were engaged.
Brooks went on to also share the same image but later on claimed that it was just a hoax to grab people’s attention. A couple of weeks ago, she posted another photo of herself displaying a massive ring on her finger, sparking speculations of her engagement to Michael, hope this one is true.
A ROCKY RELATIONSHIP
Darcey and Jesse’s on and off relationship didn’t paint a picture of happiness, but when it gets to the point of domestic abuse, then it’s a whole new situation. With fans getting torn between the two of them, everyone was confused about who was abusing who.
Jesse made his hints of being abused on Instagram, then Darcey struck back, leaving their followers in a limbo. What's true though is that the two were not right for each other, Jesse looked like a manipulator, and the two were always throwing words at each other.
