In an ideal world, every couple that walks down the aisle together would be able to make things on a long-term basis. Of course, this isn’t an ideal world and in reality, the truth of the matter is that many marriages end in divorce these days because the couple involved shouldn’t have walked down the aisle in the first place. On the bright side, it is a lot easier for an anonymous couple to regroup following a divorce than the highest-profile celebrity marriages that fell apart.
As of the time of this writing, there have been eights seasons of 90 Day Fiancé and the show has also spawned many spin-off series as well. During each episode of the show and all of its spin-offs, viewers watched many couples as they tried to make their way in the world. Unfortunately, far too many of the couples seen on 90 Day Fiancé never should have gotten involved, let alone gotten married. On top of that, just like typical celebrities, the people involved in those couples have to deal with the judgment of the general public. For example, even though there have been lots of failed 90 Day Fiancé marriages, fans think that Karine and Paul have an especially toxic relationship.
How Paul Staehle And Karine Martins Became Married TV Stars
In 2017, 90 Day Fiancé fans first got to know Paul Staehle and Karine Martins when they joined the cast of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. Featured in 22 episodes of that extremely popular show, it is abundantly clear that the powers that be behind 90 Day Fiancé at that time thought that Paul and Karine made for good television. After all, the couple would go on to appear in two more shows from the franchise, starting with 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way in 2019 and 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? In 2020.
After Paul Staehle and Karine Martins met online, she moved from her home country of Brazil to start building a life with him. Ultimately, Karine and Paul would walk down the aisle, and as of the time of this writing, they have two sons together. Still together to this day from all accounts, Paul and Karine are now living in Brazil with her extended family and their kids. Unfortunately, even though they remain together, almost everyone who has followed Karine and Paul’s relationship has concluded that they are a very toxic pairing.
Are Paul And Karine The Most Toxic 90 Day Fiancé Couple Of All?
When it comes to “reality” shows in general, there is one thing above all else that they survive on, drama. For that reason, the producers behind the most successful “reality” shows often go out of their way to put their most dramatic cast members front and center. With that in mind, it certainly seems like Paul and Karine are the kind of couple that 90 Day Fiancé producers and fans wouldn’t be able to get enough of. In reality, however, a lot of fans find Paul and Karine to be so toxic that they were overjoyed when it was announced that they wouldn’t be seen on any 90 Day Fiancé series going forward.
After Paul and Karine originally became a big part of the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, one fan went on the r/90DayFiance subreddit to express their belief that the couple was abusive. “A major sign of a toxic relationship is a lack of trust between partners. How can Paul ask karine for a dna test because he assumes she’s been f**king random Instagram hotties from around the world? No one saw how wrong this was? And how he kept trying to justify it by saying “oh sweetheart I love you”???? Does that feel like love?” “It’s f**king absurd how they’re still managing a relationship here, and I do hope her visa doesn’t come through”
Of course, it should go without saying that there are hot takes out there about pretty much every notable “reality” show star. As a result, some people may write off the aforementioned Reddit post as much adieu about nothing. However, once you realize that a post that called for Karine to not get her visa has many upvotes, it says a lot about how the couple is perceived by fans.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of reasons to consider Karine and Paul toxic. After all, on top of the couple’s biggest issues, it often seems like they can’t do anything without erupting into a fight. On top of that, the couple has been involved in many troubling events. For example, Paul once violated Karine’s privacy by posting an image of her medication online which revealed something about her health status. On top of that, when Paul discovered that Karine was communicating with a divorce lawyer and researching international custody laws, he lost it on social media instead of working on his marriage.
Sadly, there are many more examples that back up the idea that Paul and Karine are a toxic couple. Instead of listing them all here, it makes sense to sum them up to one sentiment, Paul seems to really enjoy humiliating Karine in front of anyone who pays attention to his antics. For that reason, it seems to be the consensus among 90 Day Fiancé fans that Karine deserves better than Paul.
