When TikToker Brittany (@brittanyybowen) was in college, her boyfriend at the time lied to her about having two kids. He kept them a secret from her for three years.
They met at a college party when she was 18 years old. He was a college football player. They bonded over the fact that they both did not drink.
Eventually, he invited her back to his apartment. They sat and talked, trying to get to know each other. He ended up asking her for her phone number before she left.
The next morning, he texted her, asking to hang out before he had to go off to football camp. He was immediately obsessed with her and talked to her every single day on the phone.
They started dating, and everything was good until his true colors began to show after being together for about a year. One day, she went over to his apartment and saw a drawing from a little kid.
She didn’t think much of it at first because the football players were always doing volunteer work with children.
However, there were multiple drawings of him in his apartment, and then Brittany happened to see his screensaver, which was a picture of a little girl who was around five or six years old.
He was 22 at the time. She asked him about the little girl during a Halloween party, and he told her that the girl was his niece.
A year later, Brittany posted a picture of herself and her boyfriend online. A girl she didn’t know liked the picture, so Brittany checked out her profile.

According to her bio, the girl had a kid with the same last name as Brittany’s boyfriend. She called him, asking about this girl. He freaked out and demanded that she block the girl because she was crazy.
Brittany immediately became suspicious. She did some digging and found pictures of a baby. She called him crying because she already knew the answer.
He had a six-month-old baby with another woman.
The baby mama then messaged her, remarking on how he was willing to spend all his time with her but not his daughters. Brittany was confused by the plural noun. It turned out that he had two daughters, not just one.
He had a six-month-old baby with this woman and a six-year-old daughter who lived with his parents because he had her by accident in high school. Brittany asked the baby mama to send her a picture of the older daughter.
“One thing about her, she was willing to give me all the tea,” said Brittany. “She was going to throw him under the bus with any means necessary because she wanted me to leave him because she wanted to be with him.”
The picture she sent was of the same little girl on his screensaver. Brittany was upset because she realized she was dating a deadbeat dad.
All he wanted to do was play football, go to parties, and hook up with girls. He begged her to stay, so she did. She also forced him to visit his daughter during the holidays. He never wanted to go.
“How he got me to stay was that he would degrade and manipulate me,” explained Brittany. “He wanted to possess me. He didn’t want anyone else to have me, but he didn’t want to have me and only me. Like, he wanted to have all the girls in the whole city.”
After being on and off for four years, she finally came to her senses and left him when he cheated on her with someone she knew.
He got back together with his baby mama, but they broke up after a year. He now has multiple kids with four or five different women.
Brittany was the only girl he had been with who did not get pregnant by him, even though he tried to make it happen. Luckily, she made it out of that relationship unscathed.
