Former 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days star Paul Staehle is allegedly missing, according to his wife Karine Staehle.
She posted to her Instagram stories that Staehle, 40, had gone missing in Brazil and asked for everyone's prayers.
"Paul went missing last night in Brazil. Prayers he is found safe," the 27-year-old wrote alongside a praying hands emoji.
After that message, which she also posted in her native Portuguese, Karine shared a number of photos of her stomach region, which fueled speculation she was pregnant, and other images to her Instagram story. She also posted selfies on her main Instagram grid wishing everyone a good day.
But then about 19 hours after she shared the first message about Staehle's whereabouts, Karine posted a video montage of her on-again, off-again husband showing photos of him with their two sons and other family photos.
"Not all of our memories were bad. Our children loved you very much. We will never forgot you or the good memories we all shared," she wrote cryptically. Comments on the post were disabled.
But that raised eyebrows for fans of the show who expressed their concern on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"What is going on??" asked one person, who had shared screenshots of Karine's Instagram posts.
The pair appeared on the TLC reality show in 2017 and married in November that year. Karine gave birth to their first son, Pierre, in March 2019 and they welcomed second son, Ethan, in February 2021.
The couple's relationship was tumultuous including abuse allegations, bust-ups on social media, which eventually led to a divorce. They split in December 2021 after a video leaked online which showed an alleged physical fight between the pair in their Kentucky home.
This led to Karine filing a restraining order against her husband, accusing him of rape and violence, but she later dropped it and the couple rekindled their relationship in April this year. They have worked together to regain custody of their sons after Child Protective Services (CPS) removed them from the couple and placed them in foster care.
In June 2022, CPS sent out an alert saying Pierre had gone missing and believed Staehle had taken him. He would eventually return Pierre a few days later and the boy was placed in the same foster home as his brother.
But in another twist to their custody saga, Staehle's cousin filed a motion in June to gain custody of the two boys.
"Shockingly my cousin has taken my kids to Alabama so CPS notified Karine she will no longer get visits because our children are no longer in Kentucky," Paul wrote on his Instagram stories on June 5. "My cousin purposely took our kids out of state after a motion was filed for them not to leave Kentucky so Karine could have her visits."
