Where Is 90 Day Fiancé Star Paola Now? (Is She Still Married To Russ?)

As 90 Day Fiancé celebrates 10 years of being on air, its fans have been wondering about what happened to the show’s season 1 cast members, especially Paola Mayfield. Paola moved to the U.S. from Colombia in 2013. Russ was on a work trip in Paola’s country, where they first met and fell in love. At the time, Russ was 27 years old, and Paola was 26. The couple first lived in Oklahoma City, but Paola wanted to move to Miami so she could work in the modeling and fitness industry. She went off to Florida alone, and Russ soon joined her there, where they welcomed their son Axel on January 1, 2019.

Earlier in March 2021, Paola hinted at trouble in paradise. She had used her Instagram stories to reveal that her and Russ’ relationship wasn’t doing so well. She accused fans of calling her rude whenever she voiced her opinion on social media. There were also rumors that Paola had married Russ for a green card. But in reality, Paola got her green card in 2016.

90 Day Fiancé’s Paola & Russ Separated In 2021

Paola was the one who sparked divorce rumors with Russ on July 27, 2021, when she tweeted, “Sometimes is better to recognize when it’s time to move on and accept that it wasn’t meant to be for the long run.” Later, Paola shared another message that read, “People asked me why I don’t take pictures with my husband, and my answer is … I just don’t like to pretend [shrugging emoji] #youareguessingright.” In August 2021, Paola and Russ announced they were taking a break after being married for eight years. Paola’s manager told In Touch that the pandemic hit everyone hard, especially Paola and Russ.

Their marriage was also affected by the couple’s decision to move into an RV after Russ lost his job. Paola had become the sole breadwinner. “They are going to be taking a break for a little bit,” the manager said while stressing that “they are still together.” The pair wasn’t going to get a divorce yet but they were going to marriage counseling to work out their issues. In October 2021, Paola and Russ reconciled for their eighth wedding anniversary. “We are working on it like we always do. #anniversary,” Paola said in her caption as she showed off a bouquet of red roses sent to her by Russ on October 7, 2021.
