Particularly, viewers will see the couple's journey as they start a family together, map out a birth plan, and, in the end, welcome their son, Axel, into the world (which happened in January 2019). As dedicated viewers know, the couple have appeared on all three previous seasons of — the only duo to do so. But even if you've been closely following Paola and Russ for the past five years, there's still so much to know about how their relationship started, how they feel about their past, and where they are now as a couple. And so, here's the full backstory, as well as the latest update on where Paola and Russ are at in their marriage: Paola and Russ first meet in Colombia The pair first crossed paths at a party when Russ began working in Colombia (Paola is from Bucaramanga). At the time, Russ had a job as an engineer in the oil industry, which meant he traveled quite a bit. In 2012, the couple decided to begin the K-1 visa process so that Paola could stay with Russ in the U.S. for good. In order to save money for their wedding, Russ and Paola decided to move back to the small Oklahoma town where he is from and live with his parents. In October 2013, the pair finally said "I do," and made it official. This content is imported from Instagram.

Moving, modeling, and overcoming differences As fans who watched and learned, Paola was not a huge fan of Oklahoma, mainly because she wanted to pursue a modeling career and saw that there weren't very many opportunities for her there. As a result, Paola moved to Miami, Florida, for her career, while Russ remained in Oklahoma. When talking with GoodHousekeeping.com before the season 4 premiere of Happily Ever After, Russ says that bringing Paola to Oklahoma, in retrospect, was probably not the best plan for their relationship. "A realization for me was bringing Paola to Oklahoma, and how naive I was in that moment, but I wouldn't change anything," he explained. "It did bring out a lot of challenges, but that was [me] being young and naive." One of the challenges Russ faced was losing his job in , which, naturally, put a financial strain on the couple's relationship. This content is imported from YouTube. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site. But that wasn't all. Aside from living apart, more problems began to arise when Russ made it clear that he didn't like the kind of modeling jobs Paola was booking in Miami. Even though Paola started off with a local commercial, she soon started getting lingerie gigs, which Russ thought were "too sexy" at the time. "I don't think it's fair for him to tell me, like, what to do and what not to do," Paola explained during an episode of . Russ's disapproval of Paola's modeling gigs took a very obvious toll on their relationship. But after years of getting flack for criticizing Paola's modeling efforts, Russ clarified on Instagram that he's actually "not the jealous type" at all. "There’s much more to me than what you see on TV," Russ wrote. "I accept and am proud of my wife for the beautiful woman she is, and she’s all mine, but like most relationships, we find ourselves with differing opinions at times and love costs and takes effort for it to work." While the two might still not see eye to eye when it comes to modeling, Paola tells us that she now understands where Russ was coming from. In the end, compromise is something that they're still trying to work on. "I always stand up for what I believe ... and I'm glad that my husband was actually able to respect my decisions and to understand where I'm coming from," Paola says. "And I respect his beliefs." Russ, too, says that he's learned to honor the fact that he and Paola view her job differently. He believes the friction stems from cultural differences and the different environments in which they were raised. "It's two different countries, and two different worlds," Russ explains. "You learn a lot from each other and the cultures ... There's a big world out there, and you have to respect a lot of things, [despite] what you may have been told. I'm glad that I've expanded out of Oklahoma ... but at the same time, I embrace that and cherish that." Dealing with Paola's best friend, Juan While the couple may agree to disagree on modeling, another huge source of tension came from Paola's best friend, Juan. From day one, Juan was openly against their marriage, and even told Russ his feelings to his face. To make matters worse, Russ felt like Paola was taking Juan's side and not sticking up for him. In the end, though, Paola declared that her best friend needed to "be more respectful" if he wanted to be a part of their lives. "[He needs to be] more civil, cordial. That’s all I’ve asked from him," Paola told Newsweek. This content is imported from YouTube. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site. Looking back on the situation, Paola says that she doesn't like how she dealt with Juan. "The biggest thing that I feel is haunting me is not being able to support my husband, and give my husband the place he deserves when it comes to my best friend," Paola admits. "My best friend has always been my life ... [but] I didn't back my husband up, and it's just something I really regret." The struggles of starting a family All of the drama with Juan though, seemed small in comparison to when the couple learned that they had suffered a miscarriage. “A couple of weeks before traveling to Colombia, I found out I was pregnant. And two days after had to go to the emergency room and I had [a] miscarriage,” Paola said in an episode of Happily Ever After season 3. “The happiness I felt when I found out I was pregnant was happiness I’ve been looking for my whole life.” This content is imported from Instagram.

Thankfully, by the time the 2018 90 Day reunion had come around, Paola and Russ found out that they were expecting again. During Paola's pregnancy in late 2018, she told E! News that the baby was really helping them grow even closer together as a couple. "We are focused on bringing our son into a calm and loving environment while putting aside our differences and problems from the past," Paola told the outlet. "We are doing our best to remove any negativity whether that be people or situations." Finally, in January 2019, Paola and Russ became parents. When sharing the news with her Insta followers, Paola said that "the joy I feel is indescribable, I’ve never felt so happy in my life. Axel has become my whole world and I’m so in love with him." And that brings us to Paola and Russ today ... Paola and Russ are now in a completely different place From the outside, it looks like the two are doing really well since the birth of their son. According to LinkedIn, Russ is working as a Technical Product Lead for Pure Technologies in Miami, and Paola is the owner and a trainer at her fitness company Super Pao Fit. She's currently working on creating new workout programs and building her brand as a social media influencer.<doc-sep>
90 Day Fiance is back for a new season 4 of Happily Ever After and the cast members consist of all familiar faces. Many of the viewers’ favorite couples are back and are updating the fans with the goings on in their lives. This season, there are divorces, cheating scandals, and babies. Some couples are still together, while others have split. For a rundown on each couple appearing on the show this season, with spoilers on where they are now, as well as what happens on the first couple of episodes of the show, read on below. Ashley and Jay Previously on the show, Ashley and Jay got married and just days later, Ashley found out Jay had been corresponding with other women on a dating app. This season, Jay’s cheating continues to cause issues in the relationship. In recent months, Ashley has split from her husband and then got back together with him, amid a health crisis she was having. Again, Ashley has filed for divorce and she reportedly is dating someone else. On the show this season, Ashley spends some time with her ex, so that can’t be good for her marriage to Jay. Andrei and Elizabeth These two are back and, on the premiere episode, the network states that Andrei is “fighting for boundaries.” Their focus this season is their pregnancy but Andrei reportedly has some issues with Elizabeth’s dad on episode 3 of the show. In an update on their relationship to E! News, the couple stated, “Married life is so rewarding. We are coming up on our one-year wedding anniversary and are so excited that we are expecting a baby girl! Being married is amazing and everything we thought it would be! Expecting a child and growing our family is a true blessing! We are currently awaiting Andrei’s permanent residency approval so we can travel back to Moldova to visit our family and get started on our Moldavian wedding plans! In the meantime, we are getting our little girl’s nursery in order and planning our baby shower! We cannot wait to be parents! We’re so happy to have the continuous love and support from our viewers and fans.” Since filming, Good Housekeeping has reported that the couple welcomed their baby, Eleanor. Nicole and Azan This couple has definitely had their ups and downs. They had to cancel their wedding previously on the show and Nicole’s family was not totally on board with the relationship. Nicole, who is a young, single mother, has sent Azan money and has also had trust issues with him. On the show, Nicole reportedly admitted to previously cheating on Azan but then Azan was caught allegedly cheating on her. Cheating, Azan denied, though he admitted to acting inappropriately. The two are still together today and reportedly are set to have their wedding in the summer of 2019. Chantel and Pedro Pedro and Chantel are rumored to have split, but neither of them have confirmed this news. And, Good Housekeeping has reported that the couple is getting their own reality spinoff show, titled The Family Chantel, so we’re guessing they are still together. Over the course of their relationship, their families have butted heads and it has greatly affected their relationship. Chantel’s family felt that Pedro’s mother and sister were using him for money and they didn’t trust Pedro’s intentions with their daughter. Interactions with Pedro’s mom and sister were hostile and tense. But, get-togethers with Chantel’s parents and siblings were not easy either. In fact, a physical fight broke out between Pedro and Chantel’s brother. On the show this season, Chantel and Pedro are still dealing with their past issues. Paola and Russ These two have juggled Paola’s desire to be a sexy model, Russ’ jealousy issues and the problems they had with a good friend of Paola’s. The couple also revealed on the show that they had gotten pregnant but lost the baby. This season, things are different and today, Russ and Pao are parents. The couple welcomed their son Axel in January 2019 and, ahead of their baby boy’s arrival, they told E! News, “We are making big changes and realigning our goals as we prepare for the birth of our son. We are focused on bringing our son into a calm and loving environment while putting aside our differences and problems from the past. This pregnancy has brought us closer together and we are doing our best to remove any negativity whether that be people or situations.
