’90 Day Fiancé’ Star Paul Staehle Divorce From Karine FINAL After Messy Breakup: ‘It’s Officially Over’

The 90 Day Fiancé universe just witnessed the end of one of its most chaotic love stories. Paul Staehle and Karine Martins — whose tumultuous relationship has been a rollercoaster of tears, police interventions, and shocking accusations — are now officially divorced, sources confirm.
According to court documents, the divorce was finalized this week, bringing a definitive end to the couple’s nearly decade-long saga. “This is not how I imagined things would go when I first traveled to Brazil,” Paul reportedly told friends, referencing the romantic origins of their relationship that fans watched unfold on TLC.

“This relationship was never healthy from the start,” a source close to production exclusively revealed. “The constant back and forth, the allegations, the drama — everyone around them knew this was inevitable.” The couple, who share two children together, Pierre and Eth an, are reportedly working out custody arrangements as part of the divorce settlement. Insiders say Karine has been focused on providing a stable environment for the boys.

For 90 Day Fiancé viewers, Paul and Karine’s journey has been one of the most explosive storylines in franchise history. From Paul’s infamous trip to Brazil where he made headlines for his controversial requests, to their emotional wedding, multiple separations, police calls, and financial struggles — this couple kept fans glued to their screens season after season. Their relationship became a cautionary tale of what happens when cultural differences, trust issues, and communication breakdowns collide on reality TV.
With this chapter officially closed, the question on everyone’s mind is: will either of them return to the 90 Day Fiancé franchise? Paul has hinted at “new beginnings” on his social media, while Karine has largely stayed out of the spotlight. Producers are reportedly monitoring the situation closely. One thing’s for sure — this may be the end of their marriage, but in the world of reality TV, the story is rarely ever truly over.
