90 Day Fiance: Paola Mayfield Has Not Confirmed a Reunion With Russ Despite a Las Vegas Casino Sighting

As of Nov. 3, 2026, Paola Mayfield (90 Day Fiance season 1) and Russ Mayfield have not confirmed a reconciliation. Still, a fan’s story about bumping into Paola and Russ at a Las Vegas casino, an apology video from Russ and a new acting reel have viewers asking if the split is already over.

Here is what the couple has said in their own words since 90 Day: The Last Resort season 3, kept apart from what fans say they saw. The timeline runs from a goodbye post in August to a casting company’s camera in late October.

How Paola Said Goodbye in August

On Aug. 26, Paola posted on Instagram that “all we have left are the memories of the time we shared, the places we went, and everything we once did together.” Fans read it as the end of a marriage that began on the very first season of the franchise.

CinemaBlend wrote on Sept. 22 that “a few weeks ago, Pao announced a split from Russ,” while adding that “until the papers are officially signed, one can never say for sure.” No outlet has reported a divorce filing, and neither of them has posted one.

What Happened at The Last Resort Tell All

The season put everything on the table: money, their life in an RV in Las Vegas, and a bedroom that Paola said had gone cold. By the Tell All in late September, the couple left on a temporary separation, not a divorce.

Paola Mayfield was blunt on stage. “He cannot force me to be with him if I don’t love him,” she said. That line is still the last thing she has said on camera about the marriage. Not every couple from the castle got a soft landing, either: Patrick Mendes and Thais Ramone’s divorce is already final.

The Casino Sighting and Russ’s Apology Video

Then came the plot twist. On Oct. 3, a fan blog shared a reader’s story: a woman said she and her mother met Paola and Russ together at Durango Casino in Las Vegas. When her mother said she thought they had broken up, Paola reportedly told her to watch the final episode of the Tell All.

The fan described Paola as “extremely kind” and Russ as quiet and shy, smiling through the chat. That is one person’s story, with no photo of the two together released by either of them.

The apology is real, though. In mid-September, Russ posted a long Instagram video saying he was wrong to blame Paola for the struggles that followed one of the biggest career moves of his life. Some fans think Paola asked for it. Could a man who apologizes in public be angling for a second chance? Reading between the lines, it sure looks like he is trying.

Are Paola and Russ Still Together in 2026?

Not officially. They are separated, they have not filed for divorce, and they have not announced a reunion. Paola and Russ share a son, so being seen together in their home city does not prove much on its own.

Here is what most reunion stories miss. Every sign of a reunion is secondhand: a fan’s account and a casting company’s video. Every word on the record from Paola Mayfield herself points the other way, from the “memories” post to her Tell All line. Until she says otherwise, the separation stands.

We are tracking every pairing in our list of 90 Day Fiance couples still together in 2026, and Paola and Russ stay in the separated column for now.

Russ’s Acting Push Is a Reel, Not a Role

Around Oct. 26, The Final Callback, a casting and audition company working in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, shared a reel of Russ in a studio surrounded by cameras and microphones. “Lights. Camera. Action!” the caption read. No movie, show or role was named.

This is not a brand new dream. Back in August 2022, Russ told fans he was getting into voiceover work, writing, “It’s voiceover acting!!” Don’t be surprised if he books something, but for now it is a demo, not a credit.

Who Is Thomas? Google’s Paola Mix-Up, Explained

Type Paola’s name into Google and “paola and thomas” pops up ahead of “paola and russ.” No outlet has linked Paola Mayfield to any man named Thomas, and she has not introduced a new partner.

The most likely answer is a different couple. Thomas Dintino and Paula Barbosa (90 Day Fiance season 12) are best friends who became husband and wife, and one letter separates Paula from Paola. So no, Paola does not have a secret Thomas.

Paola Is Keeping Fans Guessing, and Russ Is Waiting

Russ apologized in public, reportedly traded his look for a buzz cut and gym time, and stepped in front of a camera. Paola reportedly told a stranger to go watch the Tell All. One of them is campaigning, and the other is holding her cards close.

Our gut says not yet, but this couple has come back from the brink before. Team Reunion or Team Separated? Tell us on our Facebook page.
