Paul Staehle and Karine Martins, known for their tumultuous relationship on the reality show 90 Day Fiancé, have become one of the franchise’s most problematic couples to date. From initial ordinary issues, their marriage deteriorated over the years, with cheating allegations, restraining orders, and even domestic and sexual violence allegations.
Eventually, the court intervened and deemed them unfit parents to care for their sons, Ethan and Pierre, who have been placed with a foster family. Paul has since fled to Brazil, claiming to be earning enough to support Karine and the children. However, it appears that something alarming has happened to him. Paul recently made a distressing post on social media, hinting at the possibility of taking his own life.
In recent years, fans have not seen Paul and Karine on the show, and there are rumors that TLC removed them due to their ongoing problems and legal issues. In 2022, they sadly revealed that they had lost custody of their children. Despite facing such setbacks, Paul has repeatedly made negative remarks about Karine online.
In a new Instagram post, Paul discussed how people have been using him for money. The post was written entirely in Portuguese, but the translation indicated that the 90 Day Fiancé star was bidding farewell to everyone. He expressed the sentiment that people only care about someone when they pass away because then there is one less person to ask for help.
Due to the nature of his message, fans of 90 Day Fiancé began to speculate that Paul might be contemplating suicide. This raised concerns for his mental health, and many hoped that he had someone in Brazil who could intervene and prevent any harm. However, given Paul’s history of stirring up controversy, including spreading false news about Karine’s pregnancy and faking his disappearance, some believe that this might be another stunt to remain relevant online.
