No statement. No interview. No Instagram caption explaining anything. Just Thomas and Paula, standing together on a street in Long Beach — and for a fandom that has spent months arguing over whether this marriage survived, that was apparently enough.
According to reports, a new video shows Thomas Dintino and Paula Barbosa together in Long Beach, near a row of motorcycles. The clip carries no direct statement from either of them. But fans have treated the sighting itself as the answer.
The Sighting That Restarted Everything
The video shows no grand gesture and no denial — just the couple in the same place, at the same time, on an ordinary day. One Long Beach resident commented they had seen the couple around town before, according to reports. An account matching Thomas’s last name joked that news travels fast, noting the sighting had happened less than two hours earlier. By the time screenshots circulated, the post had passed 100 likes and 20 comments.
It is not confirmation from the couple themselves, but next to their joint Fox 10 Talks appearance it points the same way.
Why Fans Were So Sure It Was Over
After Paula received her green card, she spent three months in Brazil. Thomas stayed only three weeks. That gap started the speculation. Then Paula shared a cryptic photo of perfume bottles — loaded, since fragrance has been the couple’s most famous battleground. Thomas says scents trigger a physical reaction for him, and he asked Paula to follow a strict no-fragrance rule at home, once telling her she could choose not to marry him if she could not accept it.
The September 27 Tell All added another twist: Paula revealed plans for a second piercing store in São Paulo, news Thomas admitted he had not known. Still, both confirmed they remained married and were trying for a baby.

They met at a beach volleyball class while Paula was visiting California, shortly after Thomas had moved to the state. Paula went back to Brazil, but the friendship survived for years. Thomas eventually flew to Brazil to ask if they could try romance; Paula then had a boyfriend. After that relationship ended around 2021, they finally became a couple, announcing their engagement on January 1, 2023.
On Season 12 (Paula 41, Thomas 31), their opposite lifestyles collided: her miniatures filled his nearly empty apartment, eight relatives stayed over for the wedding, plus a $20 parking row. One day before the wedding, Paula said she considered returning to Brazil with her family. They married anyway, on the deck of the Queen Mary in Long Beach, with Thomas speaking Portuguese during the ring exchange.
The Two Questions Fans Keep Asking
First: where will they actually live? Paula has said she likes traveling between Brazil and the United States when she feels stressed, and talked at the Tell All about building a business life in São Paulo. Thomas has built his life in Long Beach.
Second: can two people this different make daily life work? The fragrance rule has not gone away. During their Fox 10 Talks interview, Thomas even joked that Paula wanted to spend part of the year in Brazil while spraying perfume.
What We Know — and What We Still Don’t
According to reports, Thomas and Paula still appear to be together: no breakup announced, still married at the Tell All, a joint interview, and now a Long Beach sighting. What we lack is a fresh, direct statement from either of them — until then, the sighting is the strongest public evidence fans have.
They nearly called off the wedding the day before it. So what do you think — does a sighting like this settle it, or do you need to hear it from Thomas and Paula themselves? Tell us in the comments.
