90 Day Fiance’s Paul Staehle has been confirmed alive after leaving voicemail
TLC90 Day Fiance star Paul Staehle has been found alive in Brazil after his wife Karine reported his disappearance on Instagram.
Paul and Karine made their debut on Season 1 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. The couple is known for having an on-and-off relationship but got married in 2017.
After suffering two miscarriages, Paul and Karine welcomed their rainbow baby, Pierre, in March 2019. However, their marriage hasn’t been an easy one considering several police visits over domestic violence situations.
Karine previously reported Paul missing in Brazil after being unable to reach him for several days. Now, the 40-year-old has been found after leaving a voicemail message and speaking to his mom.
90 Day Fiance’s Karine gives details about Paul’s disappearance
On August 31, Karine announced Paul’s disappearance on Instagram Stories. Shortly after, she posted a since-deleted video montage of their family alongside a cryptic caption. “Not all our memories were bad. Our children loved you very much. We will never forgot you or the good memories we all share,” she wrote.
Speaking to InTouch, Paul’s mother revealed hadn’t heard from her son since August 30.
“He was lost and pinged me his location to try and get a friend to help. He told me he messed up, was alone, which was really stupid, and his phone was about to die,” she said.
“I sent the three names he gave me urgent messages but it was very late so no replies until next morning. I pray he is OK. And just has no way to communicate. I have to believe that.”
In 2022, Karinne had reported Pierre and Paul missing but her husband later denied his disappearance. Instead, he revealed he was actually on a work trip.
Allegedly, their children are currently in foster care as Karine and Paul fight to get them back.
On September 4, the U.S. Embassy in Brazil started to search for Paul until he left a voicemail for blogger John Yates. Yates then posted the voice message on his social media.
According to Yates, Paul had gone to Brazil to earn money in an attempt to get his children back from Child Protective Services.
The blogger also slammed Karine in another Instagram post by judging how she handled the situation.
“@staehlekarine YOU STARTED THIS—YOU SAID YOUR HUSBAND WAS MISSING THAN INTIMATED HE WAS DEAD BY TALKING ABOUT HIM IN THE PAST TENSE,” he wrote. “This is a SLAP IN THE FACE to all the people, me, Paul’s mom, cast, followers, friends, and fans who are trying to HELP!!!”
Karine has since set her Instagram to private.
