What Is Nev From Catfish Doing Now

So, you remember Nev Schulman, right? The guy who made a whole TV show out of people lying about their identity online? He’s the ultimate digital detective, forever chasing shadows in the Catfish glow. You might be wondering, after all those seasons of awkward reveals and heartbroken selfies, where is Nev now? Is he still staring into a webcam, or has he finally lived offline?

Spoiler alert: Nev is absolutely still on TV, but he’s also leveled up in the real world. He’s not just the internet’s most famous lie-detector anymore. He’s become a full-fledged media mogul, a dad, and a guy who’s somehow even more energetic than he was in 2012.

The Catfish Machine Keeps Running

First and foremost, Catfish: The TV Show is still very much a thing. Yes, it’s been on MTV since 2012, and no, it’s not slowing down. Nev, along with his co-host Kamie Crawford, are still busting catfish on the regular.

The show has evolved, but the core premise is the same: someone is lying, and Nev and Kamie are the emotional police. It’s like a courtroom drama, but the verdict is always “yes, that person is 100% not 23 and definitely not a model.” Kamie brings this fresh, no-nonsense energy that really balances out Nev’s classic “I’m a dad trying to be cool” vibe.

If you thought Nev was just going to retire after a few seasons, you’re sorely mistaken. The man is a veritable battery bunny of reality TV. He’s in his element, finding truth in a sea of fake profile pictures.

From Webcam to Wedding Ring

Nev’s personal life is where the real plot twist happened. Remember that Catfish episode where he met his wife, Laura Perlongo? That wasn’t a catfish—that was the real deal. They got married in 2017, and now they have three kids: a daughter named Cleo, and two sons, Beau and one more little guy I can’t keep track of (kids multiply fast, okay?).

He’s the kind of dad who posts photos of himself covered in finger paint and baby food. It’s equal parts adorable and terrifying. You can see the exhaustion in his eyes, but he’s genuinely happy. He’s traded chasing catfish for chasing toddlers, which is honestly a lot scarier.

Fun fact: Laura is often the star of his Instagram. She’s hilarious, unapologetic, and makes him look like the rookie in the relationship. Their content is pure gold.

The Podcast Empire Expands

Nev isn't just a TV host; he’s also a podcast king. He co-hosts Couples Therapy with Nev and Laura, which is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a podcast where he and his wife talk about their relationship, and it’s shockingly good.

They cover everything from parenting fights to intimacy issues, and they do it with a level of vulnerability that makes you feel like you’re eavesdropping. It’s like watching a Catfish episode, but the only lie is Nev saying he doesn’t eat the last cookie. It’s raw, funny, and occasionally cringe in the best way.

He also has Catfish: The Podcast, which is a deep dive into the show’s most famous episodes. He’s monetizing his entire life, which is honestly a power move. If you can make money talking about people faking their identities, you’ve won at life.

The Acting and Reality Bites

Before Catfish, Nev was a dancer and actor. Remember that weird indie movie Sweetheart Dancers? No? Me neither. But he’s dabbled back into acting recently, popping up on shows like The Masked Singer (as a guest judge, thank goodness—imagine his voice coming out of a walking banana).

He also produced a documentary spin-off called Catfish: Untold Stories. It’s basically behind-the-scenes footage of the show, but it’s like watching the making of a magic trick where the trick is “I am a 50-year-old man pretending to be a 19-year-old cheerleader.” He’s leaning into his brand hard.

Let’s be real: Nev is unapologetically himself. He’s a little intense, a lot smiley, and he has a capacity for earnestness that would make a golden retriever blush.

The Internet’s Reaction to Nev Now

Of course, with great fame comes great scrutiny. Some people think Nev is a saint for helping people find love. Others think he’s a bit of a meddler, profiting off other people’s pain. (I mean, have you seen his house? It’s very nice. Somebody paid for that.)

But honestly, he seems to take the criticism in stride. He’s been doing this for over a decade. He’s seen everything: fake army soldiers, fake supermodels, fake everything. If you can’t handle a few Twitter trolls after all that, you’re not Nev.

He’s become this symbol of internet-age resilience. He’s proof that you can build a career from the weirdest, most niche hobby—like catching catfish in a digital pond.

What’s Next for Nev?

So, what’s on the horizon? More Catfish, guaranteed. He’s already signed on for more seasons. He’s also hinted at a new project involving, wait for it, true crime. Yes, the man who catches lies is now sniffing out mysteries.

He’s also been talking about a book. A real, physical book. About… catfishing? Probably. Or maybe just a memoir titled “I Was Lied To And So Can You.” I’d read it. Wouldn’t you?

Honestly, I think Nev is just going to keep doing what he loves: connecting with people, exposing deception, and looking like a guy who just drank five espresso shots before a Pilates class.

The Uplifting Conclusion (You Earned It!)

So, to answer the big question: Nev from Catfish is doing great. He’s still the internet’s emotional plumber, fixing leaky fake identities one video call at a time. He’s a husband, a dad of three, a podcast host, and apparently, a guy who never sleeps.

He’s living proof that you can turn your weirdest hobby into a fulfilling career. Even if that hobby is confronting strangers about their elaborate lies on national television. He’s not just surviving; he’s thriving. He’s the human equivalent of a pop-up notification that says “Your identity has been confirmed.”

And you know what? That’s inspiring. If Nev can build a life around asking people “Are you really you?” you can absolutely figure out your own thing. Maybe start smaller than a national TV show, though. Like, try asking someone out for coffee first.

So next time you see Nev on your screen, smile. He’s out there, being his earnest, hyper-active self, and he’s happy. And if you ever feel like your life is a mess, just remember: somebody out there thinks they’re dating a member of One Direction. Nev Schulman will find them. And he’ll make a TV show about it. Everything is going to be okay. ❤️
