Queer Eye – what’s happened to your favourite heroes since their transformations?

Queer Eye Season 3 drops on Netflix today, which means it’s been a whole year since Bobby, Karamo, Tan, Antoni and Jonathan sashayed onto our screens.

The Fab 5 has shown that Queer Eye is about more than just 60-minute makeovers because lives have literally been changed forever, since Series 1.

There’s been fresh starts, graduations, retirements and more cast weddings than you can shake a stick at.

So, before the binge-watch commences, spare a thought for the makeovers that came before, and find out just where our Queer Eye heroes are now.

Tammye (Season 2, Episode 1)

Queer Eye’s first (and certainly not the last) female makeover remains in the hearts of many Netflix fans. Since the show, Tammye has retired from seventh grade teaching at Smokey Road Middle School and we can now only assume, she’s a full-time goddess.

Meanwhile, Tammye’s son has been doing ‘wonderful’ work since Queer Eye and is on track to open his own funeral home and help more people suffering with AIDS.

Neal (Episode 2, Season 1)

Comedian Neal Reddy claims to have had ‘the best year’ of his life since meeting Tan, Karamo, Antoni, Jonathan and Bobby.

He’s done stand up in New York City and Las Vegas, ridden on a float at Pride and even walked in a charity fashion show (are you listening, Tan Francis?).

Once one of Queer Eye’s most resistant stars, Neal has embraced the physical and emotional transformation in his life and so far kept his beard and haircut suitably well-groomed.

Been going to PRIDE for years, but this years experience was by far the greatest for me. Got to ride on a float for the first time ever with old friends (@furbusatlanta) and meet countless new people because of @queereye. So, of course I’m gonna wear a shirt with my dudes @tanfrance @antoni @bobbyberk @karamobrown & @jvn on it. Duh. Life is crazy y’all. Don’t just be accepting of your fellow humans. Be supportive whenever you can. Especially, when they are just doing human things like living their life and loving. Year after year PRIDE weekend continues to be the most feel positive weekend in Atlanta and the weekend I’m proudest to say I’m live here.

Tom (Episode 1, Season 1)

Remember the squad’s first-ever makeover, Tom “You can’t fix ugly” Jackson? Well, Tom finally remarried ex-wife Abby in May 2018, after gaining the confidence (thank you, Karamo) to ask her to marry him again last March.

He scrubbed up pretty well on the wedding day, with a trimmed salt and pepper beard. Plus, on his off days, it’s clear that he still swears by Tan’s open shirt and tucked T-shirt tip.

AJ Brown (Episode 4, Season 1)

More romance has flourished since the Fab 5 worked their magic because AJ Brown and long-term partner Dre wed in secret last June, after getting engaged in February.

Fans will remember that AJ had kept his sexuality a secret from his stepmother but the couple is now out and proud and even doing very public red carpet appearances, with a few familiar friends.

Skyler (Episode 5, Season 2)

Transgender Queer Eye star Skyler Jay graduated The University Of Georgia in December 2018, 10 years after beginning as an undergraduate.

He then went on to sue the college for exclusions in the university’s health care plan that meant he was forced to pay out for his gender confirmation surgery.

Nevertheless, in transformation news, Skyler is rocking the six-pack better than ever.

What’s your favorite holiday tradition? 🎄❄️☃️🎁🌠🦌🎅🏼 I love the holidays. Despite it being somewhat difficult bc it’s the time at which I have to talk about my lack of relationship w/ my family the most when asked the common yearly questions of, “Where’s home?” “What does your family do for the holidays?” So definitely some strained moments for me throughout this season. But overall, I love the lights, the joy, the generosity in the air. Really the spirit of it all. This year is the first year I can recall that I haven’t felt the spirit in the air much. I know the reasons are largely because of my lack time/energy between juggling my developing painful health struggles, a personal & untimely breakup, & having to compartmentalize my life completely since May when I went back to school in order to graduate. Finishing my degrees while working my full time job was a challenge & took a lot of sacrifice. I believe part of that sacrifice was my time & energy for Christmas cheer/traditions. This year I’ve found so little time for any of my holiday traditions. I felt like this was a personal loss, that I couldn’t manage it all to give myself that time for the holiday I love the most. But one of my best friends pointed out to me that it wasn’t a loss, but strength of mine. That I could maintain that much accountability with myself to keep myself from my friends, from going out, from living a life outside of obligation, from traditions & comfort, to not only meet my goal of obtaining my degrees but exceed it by doing so with all A’s. It was hard & lonely. I think now that I’ve stopped moving & I’ve looked around me, I see the holiday that’s crept up on me, I feel it even more. But I have to remind myself that this is a season & it will return. There is one holiday tradition that I will never let creep by me despite any amount of Christmas blues I may feel. It’s one I learned from a family I use to spend many Christmas Eves with growing up. Opening one gift on Christmas Eve, always the same gift. New pj pants that you wear to bed that night. So here’s me in my new Christmas blue flannel jogger pjs, how fitting. 💙 Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night! 💤

William (Episode 2, Season 2)

YAS. Season two lovebirds William and Shannan finally tied the knot last July after getting engaged at the end of William’s transformation episode.

In pictures from their idyllic beachside ceremony at sunset, the couple seemed to have developed a keen eye for ‘his n hers’ Hawaiian style shirts.

Cory (Episode 3, Season 1)

This is not a drill: Cory has a beard now. Perhaps the most committed of all of the Queer Eye alum, Cory has been keeping fans up to date with his transformations on Instagram, including his use of filters, face packs and new facial fuzz.

What’s more, the police officer is still ‘close friends’ with Karamo Brown, with whom he shared an emotional bonding moment in the episode Dega Don’t.

‘Because of [Cory], I’m a little more open and a little less jaded when I see police officers,’ Karamo said in 2018.

‘It doesn’t mean I think all police officers are going to be good, but that doesn’t mean that all people are good. We still have some political differences, but as a whole, I see him as a human being and he sees me as a human being.

‘I see him as a father, he sees me as a father. That’s why we’re texting each other at eight o’clock in the morning.’

Sean (Season 2, episode 7)

Since the show, Sean Vanmeter has returned to arts school Piedmont College as a sophmore where he is continuing singing and song-writing after being home-schooled throughout high school.

In fact, Sean just released a new song called Falling in Love Every Day. PS, he’s still wearing those cowboy boots that Tan Francis loved so much.
