A woman claiming to be the girlfriend of Paul Staehle has allegedly been harassing the former 90 Day Fiance star and has also reportedly gotten his name and face tattooed on her body.
Over the weekend, “90 Day Fiance” blogger John Yates posted clips to Instagram showing a woman getting Paul’s face and name permanently inked on her body. John posted the clips after going Live with Paul on YouTube (on consecutive nights), during which he asked Paul about a woman in the chat named Rubia who claimed to be his girlfriend. Paul told John that he was not dating the woman, but had met her on one occasion. He also claimed that, to his understanding, the woman is an escort who works at a strip club in São Paulo, Brazil.
“… I mean, she’s tattooed my face on her leg,” Paul said of the woman. “I think I seen the video of it. [She] tattooed my name on her arm … .”
Paul also alleged that the woman had reached out to him multiple times and that people he knew were claiming to have been contacted and threatened by her. During the first of the two Lives, John informed Paul that he had also received a message from the woman, who professed her love for Paul while insisting that she wasn’t seeking fame, money or a green card and was actually in love with the former “90 Day Fiance” star.
The woman also claimed in the alleged message that Paul had encouraged her to create a social media page for the two of them and she assured John that she was “not imagining this connection.” The woman also alleged that Paul was hiding their connection because he was afraid of what his ex might say and concerned that he would be judged. (As fans will recall, Paul’s ex is Karine Martins, whom he married in 2017 and shares two sons with; Paul and Karine have since split and Paul confirmed last week that their children remain in the care of his cousin, whom they have been with since 2023.)
Last week, Paul addressed the stalker rumor on social media, insisting that “the girl going around online” claiming to be his girlfriend is not his girlfriend. He also said that he and the woman had never dated, nor did he have any intention of dating her in the future.
“ … she refuses to take no for an answer,” Paul wrote. “[S]he has even tattoo[ed] my name on her arm and my face on her other arm. [S]he has harassed me and people who know me in her attempts.”
Paul went on to claim that, after learning his address, the woman sent flowers as well as photoshopped pictures of the two of them together, noting that he has since moved to a new location.
“[F]or all the women who complain about guys doing this to you I now fully understand your pain,” he wrote. “I probably need to take legal action for my safety at this time.”
Paul revealed in the second Live with John that, while he has met up with other “90 Day Fiance” fans in the past, the interactions have been “simple” and involved chatting and taking a photo, but that Rubia “took it to an extreme.”
“I mean, now we’re ‘dating’ and then there’s tattoos,” he said. “She tried to say that she was, you know, blessed by God with our baby at one point. I was like, this has gone too far.”
While hiding her identity (before later sharing a photo of herself sporting one of her Paul tats), the woman claiming to be Rubia went on to join the Live. Through a translator that had been brought on for the discussion, Rubia claimed that on her first date with Paul, he “tried to get her pregnant”– an allegation Paul vehemently denied. Rubia also claimed that she and Paul met face to face at a mall in February and that she fell in love with him because he was a gentleman to her.
As for Paul, he confirmed that he and Rubia had met up at a mall, but claimed the two only took a video together and walked around, adding that they “didn’t even eat anything” during this outing.
Later in the video, Paul stated again that he was not interested in dating Rubia, claiming that he is “already involved with somebody.” Paul then advised others to wait until they’re actually in a relationship with someone before tattooing them on their body.
“ … or if you’re going to tattoo [someone’s name or face on yourself], it’s like, you know, either like a cartoon character or an actual celebrity, not some random idiot that runs around like a jackass on a television show,” he said. “That’s probably not the best thing to do to get a tattoo.”
After Rubia continued to profess her love for Paul in the chat, Paul claimed that he has tried to make it clear to Rubia that he’s not interested, but said nothing is working.
“You know, she deserves to find somebody who’s going to treat her right and treat her good,” he said. “That’s obviously not going to be me … I’m just not interested, sorry.”
Paul did not reveal whether or not he plans to follow through with taking legal action against his alleged stalker.

I feel like it’s easier to believe her than him atp
Oh, weird. Someone out there is even more of a fruitloop than Paul.
In all seriousness. This woman is very ill and needs help. I have a friend whose aunt thinks she’s married to Boy George when she’s manic…so.
