'90 Day Fiance' star Paul Staehle reveals sex of second child with estranged wife Karine Martins

90 Day Fiance star Paul Staehle has revealed the sex of his second child with estranged wife Karine Martins.


After taking a three-week break from social media, Paul took to his Instagram Stories on Sunday night to provide 90 Day Fiance fans with an update on his whereabouts and current relationship status with Karine, who had left him and filed a protective order against him about a month ago.

In his long post to fans, Paul mentioned his "sons" multiple times, which gives away Karine is pregnant with another baby boy. He and Karine are already parents to son Pierre, who was born on March 22, 2019.

"My life revolved around them. I have not seen my son since July. Next court date is now in December. I will not see my sons for a very long time," Paul wrote. 


"So I am keeping busy and constructive. Karine is not in Brazil. I knew that when I traveled here. Now my mother is having a mental breakdown because she is also forbidden to see Pierre. I have lost my sons."

Karine announced she's pregnant with the couple's second child in May, so she is due to give birth before the end of the year.

Paul went on to suggest in his posting he's doing everything possible to keep his mind off being alone.

"I just want to stay busy and be productive. I have to accept the fact I will probably never see my wife and son again. Or see the birth or ever see my unborn child," Paul wrote.

"That being said, I think I am mentally doing what is best -- staying constructive and busy."


Paul revealed he is keeping busy by cleaning up the former couple's home in Brazil.

"For everyone thinking I am chasing karine in Brazil, Karine is in Indiana, USA. I came here alone to clean and organize our brazil home. It needs to be sanitary and baby safe," Paul shared with his followers.

"I have been keeping busy since she left. I finished cleaning and organizing USA house so now I am doing the same thing in Brazil. All my work is on the internet so as long as I have internet I can be anywhere. Even court is on the internet these days."

Last month, Paul warned his Instagram followers he'd be deactivating his social-media accounts soon because his addiction to the platforms had caused him nothing but pain and relationship heartbreak regarding his failed marriage to Karine.


"Focus on your loved ones," Paul wrote at the time. "Do not allow social media to destroy your relationships and family... I regret oversharing private matters on social media."

Paul has seemingly shared all of the lows in his relationship with Karine on social media, dating back months and months.

Paul has always involved fans in his fights with Karine and kept them up to date on the many times Karine allegedly threatened to file for divorce, return to Brazil, and take their son away from Paul.

In fact, a huge argument on July 30 sparked the end of Paul and Karine's relationship, and Paul documented most of it on Instagram, including police involvement.

Paul posted a lengthy Instagram Live video revealing Karine had made assault allegations against him and called the police. Paul told his followers he planned to file for full custody of his son after Karine allegedly cheated on him and violated a Child Protective Services case against her.


"We were doing a call, I look over, I see her talking to a Brazilian lawyer about child support and divorce. I asked her what's going on with this," Paul was shown telling police in the video when they arrived to the scene.

Paul recorded himself yelling at Karine that she could not take his son out of the country, and he subsequently filmed himself claiming he had tested positive for an STD at the hospital as a result of an alleged affair Karine had with another man.

Paul then revealed July 31 on Instagram that Karine had filed a "full restraining order" against him.

"I'm not allowed to be around her or my son, within 500 feet of them at all," Paul reportedly said on his account, sharing photos of the alleged order.


Paul in turn made surprising claims about his estranged wife in his own protective order he had filed against Karine on July 30.

"I previously found glass in my food," Paul alleged in court documents obtained by Us Weekly. "I found similar glass shards from an item she broke."

Paul also alleged that Karine's friends were calling him with death threats.

"[They are] threatening to come to my home and kill me. They requested I pay them $10,000 or I would never see my son again," Paul reportedly claimed, adding that Karine allowed Pierre to "run in the street [and] get into the chemical cabinets."

"I fear for my wife's safety and mental well-being. I fear for my son's safety," Paul concluded.

A judge therefore reportedly ordered Karine to stop all communication with Paul and stay 500 feet away from him at all times.


Karine confirmed in early August that she had left Paul and obtained an emergency protective order against him.

Karine said she needed to be "rescued from an environment" that was no longer healthy for her and her child, adding on Instagram, "Relationships are hard and sometimes it just can't be fixed anymore."

Karine's protective order included an array of shocking allegations -- including that Paul had physically assaulted her, sexually assaulted her, and prevented her doctor from prescribing contraception to her.

In the emergency protection order application Paul had shared on social media, Karine claimed Paul "forcefully rapes me," "hold[s] my Green Card and all my documents," monitors her phone, uses cameras to monitor her on his phone when he is not home, has forced her to drink beer while pregnant, and has forbidden Karine's doctor from prescribing birth control to her.

"On multiples occasions in the past 3 weeks the respondent pushed me, grab my breast squ[ee]zing and twisting, hurting me, pushing me to the floor, covering my mouth. He force his penis into my mouth and forcefully rapes me. If I refuse he throws things, he yells, or he threat[ens] to call police," Karine wrote in the handwritten two-page application.


Karine added that Paul threatened to take their son Pierre away if she ever tried to leave him and forced her to "drink alcohol by threat[ing] me."

Karine also mentioned Paul's obsessive use of social media, writing in the application, "He is constantly on social media making videos of me against my will saying I am crazy, saying I have mental illness. Recently he called [Child Protective Services] and told [them] I was always drunk, aggressive, and abusive to him."

"He post on social media [that] I have [cheated with] several [men] even knowing that he [has] cameras around the house and I can't leave," she continued. "I have no access to money for my son or myself."

In addition to allegedly denying Karine access to birth control, Karine said she wouldn't feel safe even if she returned to her native country of Brazil.

"I came to U.S. to visit my in-laws and now he [does] not let me go back. We got married in Brazil, not in U.S.," she wrote. "When I ask to go back to me family he threat[ens] [to] take my son away."


"I am terrified he will hurt me or hurt my son because I runned away from him and I am even afraid to go back to Brazil now because He Can go to Brazil and hurt us."

Karine ended her application by stating she was also afraid of Paul's mother Mary and wanted no contact with any of his family or friends.

"I have my family in Brazil but I don't feel that law enforcement will protect me from him there," she wrote. "I am afraid of him and his mother because his mother knows and sees what he does and she refused [to] report her son. I have witnessed him threat[en] and being violent with his own mother."

"I do not want any contact with or his mother, his friends or family. I do not want them close, I am afraid of them hurt[ing] my son for revenge."

Paul, however, denied the allegations Karine had made against him on August 10.

"It truley [sic] 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," Paul wrote in his Instagram Stories.

"I have never in my life physically or sexually assaulted anyone."

Paul has claimed for quite some time that Karine has mental health issues, and so he addressed his beliefs in the message to his followers.

"I have made motions to the court for Karine to get mental help. I have had to double up on my therapy to cope with this madness," Paul wrote.

"Her motion against me with false allegations is for a 3 year restraining order against me and both my children. Alimony and child support. But I can not see her or my children at all."

Paul and Karine currently star on the fifth season of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, which airs Sunday nights at 8PM ET/PT on TLC.


The latest episode of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? featured Karine meeting with an immigration attorney to figure out her rights in traveling back to Brazil alone with her son.
