Juliette Porter now has a new address. She moved to Miami from Siesta Key, Florida, in the name of love. The decision has only helped her develop a stronger relationship with her boyfriend Clark Drum.

While promoting Season 5 of Siesta Key: Miami Moves, Juliette shared that she moved to Miami to be closer to Clark and that viewers will be able to see their lovely relationship up close in the new season of the MTV series. She told Us Weekly:

“I love Clark so much. He makes me feel really stable, comfortable [and] happy. We have such a healthy relationship. I think that’s something I really want people to notice this season and not jump to conclusions by some of the story [lines]. He’s different than the men I’ve dated in the past and I’m trying to learn from those mistakes and bring that into my next relationship.”

The Miami move came just a few months before the Season 5 premiere of Siesta Key. Juliette shifted to Miami so that she could build a stronger relationship with her boyfriend Clark and expand her business. She said:

“I think everyone that’s ever started [dating] long-distance and then ended up moving closer to each other, that you do see a huge transformation.”

She made a Mother's Day Cameo video for a fan, where she revealed that while she loves her hometown, but will relocate to Miami in a few days. At the time, she said:

"I'm actually moving to Miami in like a couple weeks.

When the Florida native moved to Miami, she was “really struggling in the beginning.” She was having a difficult time adjusting to her “relationship dynamic” along with “new apartment” and “being in this city.” But now, the reality star has adjusted well to the new place.

Juliette, 25, and Clark, 28, have been linked since October 2021, and their relationship will be a major highlight of Siesta Key: Miami Moves. The MTV reality show will also see Juliette transition to Miami.
