90 Day Fiancé stars Karine Martins and Paul Staehle’s relationship timeline

During season 1 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, Paul traveled to Brazil to meet Karine for the first time. In 2017, he also revealed that he has some criminal records and said that one of his relationships ended really badly and ended up in him "getting in some serious trouble." He added that he hadn't discussed the same with Karine at that point.

At the beginning of their relationship, the couple's biggest problem was language barriers, but they tried to work things out and got married in 2017. In 2018, Karine Martins' husband Paul Staehle revealed to US Weekly that they had gone through two miscarriages.

“The first miscarriage was very early on. We weren’t really that attached. Right after that second miscarriage went through, we got pregnant again. It was like, boom, boom,” Paul told the publication.

However, things seemed to have changed after this as they welcomed their first some Pierre in 2019. Karine Martins and Paul Staehle went through a series of struggles in their marriage that led to their separation in November 2019.

Following this, during their time on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? the couple discussed some of their differences. Paul Staehle took to Instagram in August 2020 to share details about the same.

“It truly breaks my heart it has come to this. 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 wrote on the social media platform.

The couple also attempted to save their marriage once again and resolve their issues and even had their second child Ethan in 2021.

Although things didn't seem to go as smoothly for the couple, they did try to rekindle their relationship in April 2023.
