Paul Staehle and Karine Martins from the 90 Day Fiancé franchise were recently spotted hanging out at Disneyland, leading to speculation about their relationship status. Paul and Karine debuted on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 1 in 2017. The couple didn't seem like a great match for each other, but they still got married on season 2. In the following years, Paul and Karine welcomed two sons, Pierre and Ethan, but kept failing to resolve their marital issues. In 2022, a video of Karine assaulting Paul in front of their first son surfaced, and she was reportedly charged with domestic violence.
Paul and Karine's marriage kept deteriorating, and they seemed unfit to take care of their children. Due to the couple's tumultuous relationship, they eventually lost custody of their sons to Child Protective Services (CPS) in 2023. Pierre and Ethan are now living in a foster home, away from their family drama. The 90 Day Fiancé franchise couple claims that they have been trying everything in their power to regain the custody of their kids. It seems that Paul and Karine wanted to take their mind off the custody battle, as they were recently spotted enjoying their time at Disneyland.
When Were Paul & Karine Were Spotted Together
A few days ago, a Redditor dwuhan12 posted a picture of Karine and Paul at Disneyland in the United States. The Reddit user captioned the post as, "look who's back, back again....the couple that even 90df have cut ties with." Many 90 Day Fiancé viewers were surprised to see Paul and Karine together as the couple had accused each other of terrible things in the past year. Since Paul and Karine don't have custody of their kids, they received massive backlash for being at Disneyland.
Paul Reveals Who He Is Dating Currently
Some fans even assumed the former 90 Day Fiancé franchise pair were back together. After seeing people make assumptions about his reunion with Karine, Paul took to Instagram to clear the air. He wrote, "me and Karine are not together." Paul added that he is currently talking to "an ingenious woman native of Amazonas." While Paul wrote "ingenious," he probably meant indigenous. Until a few weeks ago, the American reality star was living in Brazil, so it is possible that he met someone special and developed feelings for her.
What Did Paul Say About Karine's Dating Life?
Paul also revealed details about Karine's dating life. He said his estranged wife is dating different men to "establish which of the men is the best possible fit for her." Paul clarified that he doesn't want a relationship with Karine because they are both tired of their "obviously toxic incompatibility." The couple is only looking forward to having a "peaceful friendship." It's amazing to see Paul and Karine work on their differences and hold a friendship for the sake of their kids. Hopefully, the 90 Day Fiancé franchise couple will regain custody of their kids and also find compatible partners.
90 Day Fiancé airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EST on TLC.
