A young Nigerian woman has taken to social media in tears after uncovering a devastating secret about the man she was preparing to marry — revealing that her fiancé was already a married father of three children who had concealed his family from her throughout their relationship.
The woman, who goes by the handle @ms.tutu on TikTok, shared her ordeal in an emotional video that has since gone viral, drawing an outpouring of sympathy and widespread outrage from viewers across the country and beyond.
In the now widely circulated clip, a visibly distressed @ms.tutu recounted how the man she had trusted and planned a future with had allegedly been living a double life, maintaining a wife and three children while simultaneously pursuing a relationship with her under false pretences.
“This man wanted to lure me into marriage. He’s married with 3 kids,” she said tearfully, her words capturing the depth of the betrayal she had experienced.
In a moment that struck many viewers as both poignant and remarkably composed given her circumstances, the young woman also expressed gratitude that the truth had emerged when it did and that her story had gained public attention — suggesting that the viral spread of her experience had provided some measure of validation and solidarity during an extraordinarily painful moment.
The video has since sparked intense debate online, with many commenters calling for greater caution in relationships and others using the moment to highlight the broader issue of men concealing existing marriages from unsuspecting partners. The identity of the alleged fiancé has not been publicly disclosed at the time of this report.
