90 Day Fiancé stars Paul Staehle and Karine Martins have made headlines for their tumultuous relationship on more than one occasion.
The couple met online after he decided to look for love outside of his native Kentucky. “I haven’t had the best of luck in past relationships here locally,” he explained on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. “I’ve been betrayed. I’ve experienced unfaithful girlfriends — a lot of negative, chaotic things. Being burned that many times definitely affects anybody.”
Staehle and Martins faced early obstacles in their relationship, including a language barrier that forced them to communicate through translated text messages. However, he ultimately moved to Brazil to live with her.
The pair tied the knot in Brazil in November 2017. They welcomed son Pierre in March 2019.
“I’m very happy, very excited,” Staehle exclusively told Us Weekly shortly after their son’s birth. “I’m also very nervous and want to do everything the best that I can and do everything right. Everyone keeps asking how it feels to be a dad. Anyone can make a baby, but going through the day-to-day process of being a father is going to be a new experience. I’m very happy, very honored and very privileged and I want to make sure I do my absolute best for Pierre.”
Martins, for her part, noted that the delivery “was super hard” on her. “I am fine and happy, even with the hard time I have had,” she said.
Staehle and Martins hit another roadblock in July 2020 when he claimed she and Pierre were missing after an altercation that led to police being called to their home. “Karine took off with Pierre and I don’t know where they are,” he claimed in an Instagram Story video.
Staehle later alleged that Martins filed a “full restraining order” against him. She claimed in a written statement that he sexually assaulted her and would not allow her “to leave the house.”
Martins addressed the incident one day later, telling her Instagram followers that she was not missing. “I want you all to know that me and Pierre are doing well now,” she wrote via her Instagram Story. “All this past days I had a lot going on. I had issues where the police was called because I feared for my life and my son’s life which led me to ask for help and ultimately be rescued from an environment that no longer was healthy for none of us involved in the situation.”

Staehle admitted on the TLC reality show that he had a criminal record. He was found guilty of felony arson in 2014. “One of the relationships I was in ended so badly, it ended up getting me in some serious trouble, and I haven’t explained it all to Karine yet,” he said during a 2017 episode.

The couple did not know how to speak each other’s language, so they communicated via translated text messages early in their romance. “Sometimes the translations are way off and it causes some problems,” he explained.

Martins suffered two miscarriages before welcoming son Pierre. “The first miscarriage was very early on. We weren’t really that attached,” Staehle told Us in October 2018. “Right after that second miscarriage went through, we got pregnant again. It was like, boom, boom.”

Staehle alleged in July 2020 that Martins and Pierre were missing after she filed a “full restraining order” against him. In her written statement, she claimed that he sexually assaulted her and kept her Green Card so she could not “leave the house.” Martins later told fans she was not missing but hinted that the marriage was over. “Relationships are hard and sometimes it just can’t be fixed anymore,” she wrote. “I need this time to organize my thoughts, work on myself and care for my son after everything we have been through in the last year and a half.”

Staehle opened up about his rocky road with Martins via an Instagram Story post in August 2020. “It truly breaks my heart it has come to this,” he wrote. “I have bent over backwards. I found work. Got a new home. A new car. Let her buy anything she wanted. I did the cooking cleaning laundry and took care of Pierre.” He claimed that he “never” assaulted anyone in his life and revealed what his past domestic violence violation was when he was “arrested over a very well written message that she could come get her stuff.”
The reality star continued: “The other arrest was because I let my ex live with me because she had no where [sic] else to go. She called the police to get me arrested and get all my stuff but the officer that right saw through the BS and arrested her also. Same ex has since messaged me to hang out and babysit her kid. Which I declined.” Staehle added that he has now “made motions to the court for karine to get mental help.”
He hinted that Karine is pregnant as he concluded: “I have had to double up on my therapy to cope with this madness. Her motion against me with false allegations is for a 3 year restraining order against me and both my children. Alimony and child support. But I cannot see her or my children at all.”

Staehle claimed while filing a protective order against Martins that he “found glass in my food,” which he alleged she put in his meal. He further claimed that she “assaulted” him and endangered their son, Pierre, by allowing the toddler to run in the street and play in cabinets with chemicals in them. “[Her] friends have been calling me threatening to come to my home and kill me,” he alleged. “They requested I pay them $10,000 or I would never see my son again.” A judge ordered Martins to not communicate or come within 500 feet of Staehle.
