90 Day Fiancé: Why Fans Are Surprised About Paul Staehle's New Friend

screenrant.com:

One of the most controversial cast members in 90 Day Fiancé history, Paul Staehle recently shared a photo of him with an unknown woman. Fans were shocked to see Paul posting selfies with this new female “friend.” In 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 1, the then-35 year old Paul traveled to Brazil to meet his online girlfriend, Karine Martins. From the moment Paul met Karine, then 21, he didn’t trust her. Viewers had their doubts about Paul as well, because of his jealous behavior, odd mannerisms, and seeming inability to hold down a job. Eventually, Paul revealed to Karine that he had a criminal history involving arson. He then famously ran away before he could see her reaction.

Concerned viewers thought that Karine was the one who should have run away from Paul. Despite this, the Brazilian woman married Paul and moved to the U.S. to be with her partner. The couple went on to have two sons, Ethan and Pierre. Although Paul and Karine were allegedly fired from 90 Day Fiancé, they continued to remain in the news. Videos surfaced online of the couple fighting, often in front of their children. Shortly after a video came out showing Karine being rough with Paul during an argument, they filed for divorce. There were rumors Paul got custody of Ethan and Pierre, and some fans spotted the Kentucky man on Tinder in Orlando.
