Winter Everett starred in The Family Chantel as Chantel Everett's younger sister, but her weight-loss transformation proves she's moved on from her old life. Her story on the show was marked by physical and personal growth, especially around her inspiring health journey. Winter documented her gastric sleeve surgery on The Family Chantel, and since her surgery, Winter has lost over 150 pounds and embraced fitness and body positivity, even pursuing plus-size modeling.
Chantel and Pedro Jimeno's marriage completely fell apart throughout the show, as documented in The Family Chantel season 5. Pedro only used Chantel for a green card, and he abandoned her in favor of pursuing a real estate career. However, the show also highlighted Chantel's close relationship with her family. While Karen Everett was the most vocal against Pedro, the entire family stood by Chantel's side. Here's how Winter's life has changed for the better.
Winter Has Her Own Clothing Line
She Sells Activewear
Winter has started her own clothing line after undergoing a weight-loss transformation. "Timeless elegance in every stitch – because every woman deserves her moment in the perfect little black dress," she captioned, stunning in a form-fitting black dress adorned with flowers. Winter looks gorgeous, and fans couldn't get enough of her new look in the comments. "This! Omg THIS!!! Such a butterfly moment. I am sooooo happy for you! You look incredible! Yaaaaaaay!!!" wrote one fan, while another simply said, "Beyond Beautiful."
Winter's clothing line is a testament to her weight-loss journey and total transformation as a reality TV star and businesswoman.
Winter has leveraged her impressive 150-pound weight loss into a new venture with her activewear line, CKY, which stands for "confidently know you." Following her split from ex-boyfriend Jah, Winter transformed, both physically and personally, which included bariatric surgery and a newfound commitment to fitness. This dedication not only brought her significant weight loss but also spurred her interest in modeling and a style overhaul. Starting her clothing line was an obvious next step.

Winter Could Join A New Reality Show
Her Life Would Be Interesting To Follow
Now that The Family Chantel is over, Winter should star in her own reality TV spin-off. Since her weight-loss transformation, Winter has gained confidence, adopted a vibrant social media presence, started a business, and connected with fans through her personal journey. She became a more prominent figure in The Family Chantel due to her interesting storyline. Just because Pedro and Chantel's marriage is over doesn't mean that Winter's reality TV stardom needs to end.

A fitness-focused show could be a natural fit for Winter, as it would allow her to share her health journey and support others on similar paths. This concept could also showcase her dedication to maintaining her wellness through fitness, following the achievements and challenges along the way. Winter could also include her entrepreneurial spirit in the show, documenting the difficulties of starting her own business. Additionally, Winter might be looking for love after breaking up with Jah, which always makes for great reality TV.
Winter Is The Most Well-Like The Family Chantel Cast Member
She Was Always A Good Guy On The Show
Winter's the most popular family member from The Family Chantel, and it would be amazing to see her on reality TV again. Chantel's sister is consistently rooted in her genuine, relatable personality, and resilience, evidenced by her transformation. Unlike some family members like Karen, Winter tends to avoid drama, focusing on her journey. Her vulnerability about her insecurities and her openness about her weight-loss journey—including bariatric surgery—made her a hero who's easy to root for.
Winter’s relationship with her sister Chantel adds another layer to her appeal. She balances Chantel out since Chantel can be more assertive, and Winter flies under the radar. However, Winter has remained steadfast and supportive of Chantel. Similarly, Chantel has shown genuine care and protective instincts toward Winter, particularly during Winter’s breakup and surgery, often stepping up to comfort her. While Winter might not need reality TV, it would be great to see Winter on her own show after The Family Chantel.
The Family Chantel is available to stream on Discovery +.
