Larissa teased her new YouTube channel will be coming "soon."
Around the same time Larissa posted about her plans to move, Eric uploaded the same photo as well as a solo pic of himself promoting the real estate company the couple had worked with.
"I just closed & finalizes the sale of my house today! Thank you @david_j_sells_las_vegas & here comes @larissalimareal & I @cityofcos [Peace,] Vegas," Eric wrote on his own Instagram account.
On Friday afternoon, Larissa made a follow-up posting on Instagram showing the couple posing in front of a U-Haul moving van, apparently departing Vegas.

Larissa has been teasing a move from Las Vegas for a while now.
Back in early July, Larissa took to Instagram to announce she'll be moving to a different place in the United States "to start again" after spending two years in Nevada, where she had first moved to from Brazil when she was dating her now former husband Colt Johnson.

"For everyone that always asked if I would live in another state.... Vegas was my home for almost two years but now I'm exploring the change for a new [beginning] in a different state," Larissa captioned a photo of herself in a tiny bikini while sitting by a pool.

Larissa did not share her new destination at the time, but she suggested a part of her heart will always be with Las Vegas.
"I still love Vegas and will miss all my friends, partners and pools," Larissa continued in her July post.
"I'm very happy to think about the opportunity to start again and [leave] my past buried definitely on the desert sands. I will keep you all posted on the journey. #90dayfiance #newlife."
Although Larissa was tight-lipped when it came to specifics at the time, she shot down rumors she'd be moving to Florida.
Larissa first mentioned a desire to leave Las Vegas in November 2019.

"Now that my probation is almost done, I can't believe was 6 months ago. I'd like to move to a new state and start my life again," Larissa wrote in her Instagram Stories, referring her domestic violence court case.
"Please send by DM what state can I see green, fall and snow and not have natural disasters. Please a state that [is] cheap."
Larissa's fans immediately began weighing in on her possibilities -- including Missouri, Vermont, Indiana, Nebraska, Alabama and Connecticut.

After starring on Season 6 of 90 Day Fiance, Larissa and Colt -- who got married on June 24, 2018, according to Clark County Clerk records obtained by Reality TV World -- appeared on Season 4 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?.
90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s fourth season featured Larissa trying to adjust to life in Las Vegas with Colt and his mother Debbie.
Following two arrests in 2018, Larissa was taken into custody a third time in January 2019 following an explosive argument with Colt in their former home.
According to Larissa, the fight sparked when she allegedly found email receipts for pornographic videos Colt had allegedly purchased.
Larissa was charged with misdemeanor domestic battery at the time, according to a criminal complaint obtained by TMZ.
Hours after the incident, Colt filed for divorce from Larissa on January 11 to end their seven-month relationship.
Larissa moved on from her relationship with Colt quickly and debuted her "handsome" new boyfriend, Eric, whom she had met on Tinder, on social media in February 2019.

Colt and Larissa's divorce was finalized in April 2019, and then one month later, Larissa accepted a deal to reduce her misdemeanor domestic violence charge down to a disorderly conduct charge in exchange for community service and a fine, E! News reported at the time.

Larissa announced her split from Eric in September 2019 after eight months of dating. She insisted at the time there were no hard feelings, but Eric claimed he was shocked and blindsided by Larissa's announcement of their breakup on social media.
Eric had changed his Instagram bio to read, "Dumpedbyagirlon9/11? Thru a post? My mother saw 2 calltotell me about?"
Larissa later filed a police report against Eric in September 2019 citing harassment, according to The Blast.
"Larissa doesn't want to speak about it anymore because she wants Eric to go away and doesn't want to give him the fame he's thirsty for," a source told Us Weekly about the case in September of last year.
"Eric gave out her number to other women, and they were calling and texting and harassing her nonstop, so she changed her number last week."
Larissa also told the magazine of her breakup, "I'm done with men and men trying to exploit me."
However, Larissa and Eric were shown reconciling and getting back together on Season 5 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, which premiered in June.
The season started out with Larissa living the single life and pursuing a Green Card on her own to stay in America, but she said she realized she still loved Eric.

"My feeling for Eric is above all my relationships and bigger than I have felt with Colt. I always was in love with Eric when we are dating, but I decide to break up with him because of all the kind of relationship problems, and I thought that he [didn't] admire me anymore," Larissa said in a confessional.

"But I miss being in a relationship with him because Eric isn't perfect but he always tried to help me out when we were together and he doesn't judge me for anything that [I've done] in my life... The heart wants what [it wants]."
Although Larissa discovered Eric had badmouthed her to his family, friends and even strangers when they were broken up, she decided to forgive him and move into his Las Vegas house. (Larissa's decision to take Eric back resulted in her getting kicked out of her friend Carmen's home).
Larissa and Eric worked on improving their relationship and communication, and then Eric agreed to "invest" in Larissa's plastic surgery transformation by providing the money upfront to pay for her breast augmentation and nose job.
The show's latest episode on Sunday night featured Eric being at Larissa's beck and call following her surgery and telling the cameras he didn't realize how much he loved and cared for Larissa until he saw her hurting and in pain.
After the episode aired, Larissa thanked Eric on Instagram and wrote, "Thank you [Eric] for so much love taking care of me [through] my recovery."
