Between Larissa and Colt’s divorce battle and Ashley and Jay quitting the franchise with a scandal, 90 Day Fiance can seem so negative.

It’s good to remember that the show is supposed to be about watching people come together and start their new lives.

After two miscarriages, Paul and Karine are expecting their first child, and Paul is showing off his wife’s massive baby bump.

A couple of years ago, we would have never expected to see anything positive or affirming from Paul Staehle or his relationship with Karine.

But times change, and he’s clearly come a long way since he was slipping a condom on under his trunks just to go swimming.

In the video that we have included, which Paul shared this week, Karina is wading in the ocean wearing a bikini.

Her baby bump is wildly impossible to miss.

"Karine is out here looking for seashells," Paul narrates."And she’s already removed quite a bit of trash."

Rampant ocean pollution is only one of the massive environmental crises that threaten to destabilize the world as we know it.

"I haven’t seen any trash out here," Paul admits. "But she’s been able to find a decent amount of garbage. Having fun?"

It was in October of 2018 that Paul announced that he and Karine are expecting their first child — a rainbow baby.

"The first miscarriage was very early on," Paul told Us Weekly at the time.

Very frankly, he admitted: "We weren’t really that attached."

"Right after that second miscarriage went through, we got pregnant again," he characterized. "It was like, boom, boom."

"That was the one everyone saw on TV," he noted.

"The next pregnancy," Paul continued. "She was actually prescribed birth control, and she was taking a supplement to feel better."

"We were supposed to wait six months to a year," he shared.

"We were gonna wait," Paul said. "Give it time in regards to that."

He added: "We’ve actually heard things where if we had the baby within six months. … I was like, ‘OK, whenever you’re ready.’"

But, Paul said: "She got pregnant within a few months."

Miscarriages can be absolutely devastating for couples.

It is perfectly okay for one couple to go deep into mourning while another couple merely grimaces in disappointment and tries again.

Responding to loss in different ways is part of being different people.

But now, Paul and Karine are embracing every moment of this pregnancy.

Paul has been keeping followers updated on his Instagram page.

And, oh by the way, they shared that they are expecting a baby boy.

90 Day Fans were very unsure of Paul when they first saw him.

He’s a little weird — okay, a lot weird. And he was also the first to admit that things hadn’t worked with other women in America.

The common factor in those failed relationships was Paul, not geography.

Then, fans were alarmed when it was revealed that he had a crimnal history, including an arson conviction.

But he and Karine married in 2017 and they seem to be getting along okay.

We wish them, and their soon-to-be child, the best.
