From dating show drama to million-dollar brand deals, reality stars aren’t just finding fame—they’re building full-blown influencer empires. Whether they broke out on Too Hot to Handle, Selling Sunset, Love Is Blind, or The Circle, these TV personalities have taken their 15 minutes and turned them into content gold. In 2025, social media is the new red carpet, and these 20 reality stars are walking it daily—with sponsored posts, beauty launches, and aesthetic feeds that keep fans coming back for more.
In this roundup, we’re spotlighting the biggest reality stars who became influencers and have successfully made the leap from on-screen chaos to curated internet fame. From Harry Jowsey’s viral thirst traps to Christine Quinn’s couture-core domination, here are the names leading the influencer wave in style.
1. Francesca Farago
With 6 million+ followers and a wardrobe that could outshine a runway, Francesca has evolved from Too Hot to Handle drama queen to luxury lifestyle muse. Think bikinis, Bali, and barely-there captions that double as soft-launches.
She mixes thirst-trap energy with just enough aspirational content to make you wonder if she owns any actual pants. Her brand? Dream girl meets digital entrepreneur—complete with swimwear lines, collabs, and an Instagram feed that feels like a permanent vacation.
2. Harry Jowsey
With over 4 million followers and the digital swagger of a walking shirtless thirst trap, Harry has gone from Too Hot to Handle bad boy to verified chaos merchant on TikTok and Instagram. He’s not just doing brand collabs—he’s flirting with your algorithm.
From dating rumors and podcast overshares to skincare routines and underwear try-ons, Harry’s content is pure chaotic-neutral energy. He’s mastered the art of making “accidental” viral moments feel inevitable—and his DMs? Probably a war zone.
3. Chrishell Stause
She went from soap star to Selling Sunset sweetheart to certified Instagram icon. With over 4 million followers, Chrishell’s content blends LA luxury with “hot girl in love” softness (hi G Flip). Whether she’s serving looks at Cannes, posting behind-the-scenes love notes, or promoting her memoir, her brand screams “successful, unbothered, and just got a new deal.” Like a Rosé with range.
4. Christine Quinn
With couture so sharp it could file a restraining order, Christine made Selling Sunset less about real estate and more about real slay. Now with millions of followers, a fashion brand, and an Instagram feed that looks like Dior and Barbie had an evil-genius baby, she’s gone full influencer overlord.
Her posts? A mix of villain-era glamour, unapologetic flexing, and enough pink latex to make Elle Woods blink twice. Real estate may have built the house—but Christine turned it into a runway.
5. Jessica Vestal
After making waves on Love Is Blind, Jessica turned her heartbreak into a masterclass on branding. With over 500k followers and the poise of a woman who knows her angles and her audience, she’s become a TikTok confidante and fashion fave.

6. Deepti Vempati
She said “I choose myself” on Love Is Blind and the internet never stopped clapping. Deepti is now a full-on motivational goddess, turning healing into an aesthetic and boundaries into brand deals.
With her glow-up outfits, soul-hugging captions, and a feed that looks like Pinterest therapy, Deeps is here to remind everyone: your worth isn’t up for debate, but your shoes should always be cute.
7. Emma Hernan
Model, entrepreneur, empanada mogul, and walking lifestyle aesthetic—Emma is Selling Sunset’s sunniest shark. Her influencer vibe? Blonde ambition with a side of Miu Miu.
From brand collabs and Hamptons vacations to bikini hauls and matcha rituals, Emma’s feed is a Pinterest board for anyone trying to be booked, busy, and beach-ready. Her stories might feature a multi-million-dollar listing and a skincare tutorial—and that’s the point.
8. Joey Essex
Originally known for The Only Way Is Essex, Joey is now a UK reality staple and lifestyle influencer who’s somehow both self-aware and blissfully confused. His charm? Unfiltered, tan, and forever a little bit chaotic. Joey’s Instagram is a curated mess of vacations, designer fits, and him lowkey reinventing lad culture. It’s giving: “Fit check, but make it Essex.”
9. Vanessa Lachey
Okay yes, she’s the host of Love Is Blind, not a contestant—but Vanessa has parlayed her Netflix presence into full lifestyle influencer status. Think mom-of-three meets monochrome aesthetics and motivational captions. Her content blends mom tips, Target finds, red carpet throwbacks, and husband appreciation posts. She’s giving grown-up glam with just enough “bestie energy” to feel like she might respond to your DMs with a heart emoji and skincare rec.
10. Raven Ross
Raven pirouetted out of Love Is Blind and into Influencer Gym Barbie status with ease. Her Pilates content is elite, her outfits are curated, and her energy is “soft-spoken but will outwork everyone here.” She posts workouts with grace, fashion with bite, and breakup glow-ups that deserve their own genre. Her vibe? Quietly dominating your FYP with core strength and core values.

She’s part fashion fairy, part self-love guru—and every post feels like a mood board you want to fall into (while also fixing your posture and booking a flight to Tulum).
12. Abigail Heringer
The Bachelor in Paradise sweetheart with cochlear implants and quiet confidence, Abigail’s influencer era is all about authenticity, inclusivity, and subtle slay. She’s turned vulnerability into strength—mixing cute couple content with hearing-loss awareness and outfit inspo that reads “Pinterest-core but make it real.” With over 700k followers, she’s the internet’s favorite comfort character.
13. Bretman Rock
Okay technically The Reality Show was built around him—but his influencer status was already platinum. Still, Bretman’s pivot from beauty guru to reality royalty only amplified his brand.
He’s giving “spiritual chaos meets glamor” 24/7. Whether hiking in the jungle, applying highlighter, or dragging the zodiac, Bretman makes every post a performance. And we? Are blessed.
14. Mike Johnson
The Bachelorette fan-favorite who never got the final rose—but absolutely stole Instagram’s heart. Mike brings charisma, positive masculinity, and skin so smooth it should be sponsored by the moon. He balances wellness, modeling, and motivational reels with a smile that could make your therapist blush. His followers? Here for the affirmations and the abs.

16. Joey Sasso
Winner of The Circle, Joey’s influencer glow-up is a mix of gym selfies, Italian family vibes, and self-aware himbo energy.

Bro-core with a heart of gold—and a growing TikTok empire built on charisma and chaotic good energy.
17. Amanza Smith
Design queen, single mom, and unfiltered truth teller of Selling Sunset, Amanza’s influencer status is rooted in authenticity. Her style is edgy glam, her captions are real talk, and her vibe is “wine night meets therapy breakthrough.”
She shares motherhood, mental health, and style inspo with a rawness that cuts through the noise—and her design reels? A minimalist’s dream.
18. Bartise Bowden
From Love Is Blind to Perfect Match, Bartise gave us polarizing edits and now a redemption arc—via baby photos, gym content, and awkwardly charming dad energy.
He’s building a niche in the “hot dad turned family influencer” space, complete with relatable chaos and random shirtless wisdom. You never know if you’re getting a squat PR or a diaper hack—and somehow, that’s working.
19. DeMario Jackson
Once a Bachelor in Paradise villain, now a wellness-focused influencer with layered transparency. DeMario turned controversy into clarity—pivoting toward mental health advocacy, fitness, and creative direction. His feed mixes shirtless gym shots with motivational captions and docuseries-style honesty. It’s influencer content that’s healing-coded—like your emotionally available gym crush with a ring light.
20. Savannah Palacio
After stealing scenes on The Circle and Perfect Match, Savannah made her mark as a beauty girlie with bite.
