Paul, 39, and Pierre have returned home to Kentucky after a police report filed them as missing since June 9.

The reality star told that he drove back to Louisville on Saturday July 3.

Paul met with his parents in a park where he gave them his son, claiming he didn't want to face Child Protection Services.

The parents then contacted CPS, who took Pierre to the foster home where his younger brother Ethan is.

He had previously told TMZ that the missing persons situation was "a big misunderstanding."

The two lost custody of their kids after videos emerged of abuse in their relationship.

COME FORWARD

A Public Information Officer for the Louisville Metro Police Department confirmed to The Sun that a Missing Person’s report was filed on June 9.

The case was assigned to the Missing Persons Unit and the report claimed that Pierre was possibly "in the company of his father."

However, Paul denied kidnapping his son and claimed instead that he was instead accompanying him on a long work trip.

Meanwhile, a flyer circulated on Facebook appealing for information about the missing persons.

Paul and Karine welcomed Pierre in March 2019 and Ethan in February 2021.

In August 2020, Paul claimed on his social media page that he was "really upset" as he claimed a neighbor told him his wife had allegedly fled their home with their son by reportedly jumping into a man's car.

Karine since filed an emergency protective order against her estranged husband, who was found guilty in 2014 of felony arson.
