Where Is the Cast Now?

Nearly 10 years after it initially premiered on MTV, The Real World: Portland, season 28 of the long-running reality TV series, has dropped on Netflix. Where is the cast now?

Anastasia Miller recently went through a traumatic birth experience

Then 22-year-old Redford, Michigan-based model and singer Anastasia “Bird” Miller appeared in all 12 episodes of The Real World: Portland (2013), where she developed a close friendship with Joi Niemeyer and Averey Tressler. Shortly after her time on The Real World, Anastasia, alongside several of her castmates, debuted in the competition spinoff The Challenge for Rivals 2. She competed with former housemate Jessica McCain and infamously became the “other woman” in one of The Challenge’s most notable romances, CT Tamburello and Diem Brown.

Following her time on the show, Anastasia largely disappeared from the community. However, she resurfaced in July 2021 in an interview with Mike Lewis, where she opened up about her experience on The Challenge, admitting she thought the spinoff “traumatized” her. After struggling with her mental health for a few years after the series, the Real World star sought help. She has since relocated to Virginia, where she is married with a baby boy, Ernie, whom they welcomed in December 2021. Unfortunately, Anastasia experienced a traumatic birth experience she has opened up about on her social media. Here is her Instagram.

Is Averey Tressler still working at Hooters?

Then 21-year-old Tempe, Arizona-based Hooters waiter Averey Tressler appeared on The Real World, and she quickly connected with Anastasia over their experience with absent fathers. While in the house, she adopted a dog, Daisy, and got into a relationship with co-star Johnny Reilly. The couple got into multiple physical altercations with Nia Moore, ultimately resulting in their early exit from the house.

Following her time on the show, she moved to Boston to live with Johnny, but their relationship ended due to her alleged cheating. Averey then debuted on The Challenge alongside him for Battle of the Exes 2 and briefly returned for 2016’s Rivals 3 but didn’t get a chance to compete due to his injury. Currently, the Arizona native still works as a waiter for Hooters and recently participated in the 40th-anniversary photo shoot for the restaurant. It appears as though Averey is single, and she’s rumored to return to The Challenge soon.
