Fyre Festival fraudster Billy McFarland is expecting a child. His partner, Russian model Anastasia Eremenko, made the announcement in a joint post with McFarland on Instagram on Mother’s Day, sharing a photo of the couple on the beach, with Eremenko’s hand on her stomach and the caption, “This Mother’s Day definitely feels different❤️🥹🐣.” In a statement to TMZ, McFarland, 34, said, “Anastasia is the strongest woman I’ve ever met. We couldn’t be more excited to welcome another member into our family. Becoming parents together feels like the greatest adventure of all.” McFarland was convicted of mail and wire fraud after defrauding investors out of $27.4 million and sentenced to six years imprisonment for his role as the architect of the catastrophic Fyre Festival, although he would end up serving less than four years and be released in March 2022. Vanity Fair dubbed him “the poster boy for millennial scamming” in 2022. After his attempt to resurrect Fyre Festival in 2023 failed, he sold the brand on eBay, netting what he felt was a disappointing $245,300. In 2024, he worked to secure endorsements from rappers for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, and a year later, he returned to the festival circuit with 2025’s PHNX Festival in Honduras.
