When Tia Maria Torres decided to do Pit Bulls & Parolees, the Animal Planet show in 2009 viewers were also introduced to many people in Tia’s life. In fact, the businesswoman’s two daughters Tania and Mariah, and twin sons Kanani and Moe played a major role in the show’s success.
Fans loved seeing Tia’s sons interacting with their wives, and this show also featured another even more popular couple, Mariah Torres and her boyfriend Marcel Radlein. They looked cute together and had made each other as they both worked for Tia Maria Torres’s Villalobos Rescue Center. So, has this shared passion for helping animals kept them together today? Are they still working at Villalobos? Here’s what we know.
Pitbulls & Parolees: What Happened Between Marcel Radlein And Mariah Torres?
Born into a family of dog rescuers, Mariah Torres grew up around pit bulls. She has been wholeheartedly helping her mother’s cause since her childhood. This very devotion of hers also brought her close to Maechel Radlein when he started at Villalobos as a volunteer. They rescued many abandoned dogs and puppies from dangerous situations, fell in love, and even got married in Vegas, sometime in 2016.
However, this union was not able to go the distance as they reportedly parted ways and even got divorced, in 2018.
Naturally, Mariah was bombed on social media with questions concerning the status of their relationship. So, while replying to some of those Instagram comments, she revealed that they divorced a few months into the marriage because they realized that they want different things in life.
As for Marcel, he chose to only be open about his relationship status as being ‘divorced’, via his Facebook page.
Yet, memories of them together still was existing on Mariah’s social media at the time of this writing. In an Instagram post dated 11 February 2017, she mentioned that they made it two years. Again, one can tell from Mariah’s social media that she and Marchel were in an open relationship since 20 December 2015.
So, if it is any consolation, Mariah had once revealed that the two are still friends and that Marcel comes over sometimes to help with the dogs. But, of course, this is an update from a year back.
Mariah, as of September 2022, claimed to have found peace while living in Texas. All along, she continued to speak about the rights of the breed, the evils of dog fighting, and the underserved pit bull stereotype. And apart from the rescue, she helped manage the family’s various other businesses, including the Tahyo Tavern restaurant and Tahyo Dog Boutique.
