Winter Everett from The Family Chantel has launched her own business named CKY after successfully achieving an incredible 150-pound weight loss. She first appeared in 90 Day Fiancé season 4 as a supporting cast member in her sister, Chantel Everett, and Pedro Jimeno's story. Although Winter wasn't the main focus during the season, she became popular among viewers due to her calm demeanor, which was noticeably different from The Family Chantel cast members. Many 90 Day Fiancé fans also sympathized with the youngest Everett sibling because of her unhealthy and on-again, off-again relationship with her then-boyfriend, Jah.
While Winter initially received a lot of support and appreciation from fans, she slowly started receiving backlash for being reserved and distant from her family. At times, she even acted morally superior to her siblings. Winter was also accused of blindly following her boyfriend, Jah's religion, the Nazarene faith, without fully grasping its teachings. Her decision to skip celebrating Christmas and avoid having shrimp without understanding their cultural significance raised eyebrows. There was some suggestion that Winter was influenced by Jah, which seems true because she changed her behavior after their breakup.

Winter Underwent Weight Loss Surgery In October 2020
After splitting from Jah, Winter got serious about her fitness goals during the COVID-19 pandemic. She realized that she needed to make major changes to her lifestyle to become the best version of herself. After losing some weight naturally, Winter decided to take her fitness journey to the next level. She researched more about weight loss surgery and decided to undergo bariatric surgery in Mexico. In The Family Chantel season 4, Winter traveled to Tijuana and got 75% of her stomach removed, which sped up her fitness journey and helped her lose more weight.

Winter Everett Has Launched A New Business Called CKY
Winter Launched Her Business In August 2024
Winter has improved her style and achieved many new milestones in the past four years. In August 2024, Winter posted a video of herself flaunting her new slender figure and introduced her new business, CKY. She wrote, "I created @ckyactive – stylish, size-inclusive activewear – because I believe every woman deserves to feel confident and unstoppable." Winter expressed she intended to help other women "redefine" the meaning of confidence. She also revealed that her clothing brand, CKY, would offer more than just activewear; it would provide a means for her customers to feel fantastic every day.
Winter's business received a lukewarm reception from fans. However, she didn't give up hope and continued to promote it on social media.
In addition to promoting her brand, Winter started using the business page to share her weight loss updates. She inspired many people, encouraging them to follow her journey and purchase her products. In September 2024, Winter shared that running her business has been a journey. She added, "big things are coming for CKY, and I can't wait to bring you all along for the ride," letting her fans know she has big plans.
Winter Everett Sells Activewear
Winter's Website Seems To Still Be A Work In Progress
Winter has already set up a website for her new business. However, she doesn't have many products labeled on the page, which is understandable considering she just launched the company in mid-2024. The CKY website allows fans to subscribe for updates and receive exclusive discounts. The home page highlights all the product benefits, including practical features, seamless storage, SPF 50+ rated UV protection, adjustable designs, breathable mesh, stay dry, and active support. The Family Chantel cast member uses her home page to inspire customers, inviting them to "join the confidence revolution with CKY."

The Family Chantel: "Peaches & Cream!": Winter's Weight Loss Transformation's Showing Her Style (She Needs A Spin-Off)
The Family Chantel's Winter Everett exudes a superstar presence after losing 150 pounds. This transformation makes her deserving of her own spin-off.
Winter currently sells only major activewear collections on her website, most of which are already sold out. Her "Sunrise Collection" offers three pieces of bodywear: a sports bra, high-waisted leggings, and a sweater. The CKYOU Longline Colorblock Sports Bra is a pink and yellow colored top that is comfortable and breathable. Likewise, the CKYOU Crossover Highwaist leggings are pink bodywear that is stylish and flattering for the waist. The CKYOU Cinched Crewneck Sweater is more of an accessory item, adding comfort and style to the collection. While the clothing looks amazing, most of the details on the website seem unfinished.
Winter May Never Return For A Spin-off
Winter Already Boasts A Massive Online Following
It seems Winter is too busy with her new business. Therefore, there is a low likelihood that fans will see her appear on TV again, especially in a spin-off.
While Winter may make a guest appearance if The Family Chantel ever returns to TV, she likely won't be on a spin-off like 90 Day: The Single Life due to her hectic schedule. Over the months, Winter has put in effort to improve her life and get in shape. She has begun establishing her new brand and understands it's more important than reality TV.
Winter has already achieved significant fame through the show. She has nearly 300k Instagram followers, many of whom are proud of her remarkable weight loss journey. Cast members like Miona Bell and Shaeeda Sween likely used the show to gain more followers because they didn't have an audience before. In comparison, Winter is already popular and doesn't need to be on a TLC show to become more relevant. She doesn't have to share her romantic journey or focus on relationships to get more screen time. The Family Chantel alum seems much happier being single.
The Family Chantel is available to stream on Discovery +.
