90 Day Fiancé Star Paul Staehle Faces Health Scare Amid Karine’s Alleged Pregnancy Battle
In a stunning turn of events, 90 Day Fiancé alum Paul Staehle has reportedly been hospitalized in Brazil following a medical crisis, coinciding with revelations that his estranged wife, Karine Staehle, is expecting her third child. This latest chapter in the couple’s tumultuous saga lays bare the emotional and legal struggles that continue to haunt them after years in the reality TV spotlight.
According to a message shared via Paul’s Instagram Stories from a trusted friend who identified as a medical professional, Staehle, 41, was discovered unresponsive in bed alongside an empty bottle of wine and his prescription anxiety medication. The friend, concerned after receiving unsettling, depressed messages from Paul and instructions to check on him and his pets, rushed to see him out of fear he might harm himself.
"He was breathing shallow, with a very low heartbeat," the individual recounted, explaining he quickly transported Paul to a local hospital for urgent care. The implication was that a dangerous mix of alcohol and prescription drugs could have led to his alarming state. The friend described Paul’s living situation as problematic, noting, "In his medical state and depression, he really should not be living alone in a foreign country." Despite the scare, the update assured fans that Paul is alive and expected to recover.
The news of Paul’s hospitalization emerged just a day after Karine Staehle, 28, appeared to confirm she is pregnant again via a GoFundMe page titled "Help Reunite a Loving Parent with Their Children." The campaign aims to raise $50,000—only $995 raised so far—and paints a harrowing picture of her fight to regain custody of her two sons with Paul, Pierre, 5, and Ethan, 4, who currently reside with Paul’s cousin following intervention by Child Protective Services.
Karine lamented mounting legal costs and hinted the baby on the way is a girl. More worryingly, she expressed fears that "a new law" in Kentucky could allow the state to take her newborn immediately after birth due to her supervised visitation status. "I know I have made many mistakes in my past," she admitted, "but I love all my children and want to be with them." The identity of her unborn baby’s father remains unclear, amid unverified reports she may have moved on romantically.
Fans of 90 Day Fiancé will remember the couple’s dramatic journey since appearing on season 1 of Before the 90 Days in 2017, marrying and welcoming two sons amidst frequent breakups. Their volatile relationship led to losing custody in 2022, after which Pierre briefly went missing before both children were placed with Paul’s cousin.
This episode throws into stark relief the complex web of emotional, medical, and legal turmoil that reality TV exposes, raising questions about mental health awareness, parental rights, and the pressures faced by those who share their lives so publicly. Both Paul’s recovery and Karine’s parental struggle remain uncertain yet intertwined, compelling fans to watch anxiously as their story continues to unfold.
