Girlfriend, 26, slams 'missing' boyfriend who turned out to be married with children

A girlfriend has slammed her boyfriend who secretly turned out to have a wife and children in Norwich.

Rachel Waters, 26, launched a desperate appeal on a Norfolk Facebook community page to find her missing boyfriend - but was left shocked to find he was already in a relationship.

Miss Waters, who works in Shenzhen as a brand manager, had started a relationship with the man as they spent lengthy and strict Covid lockdowns together.

However, in April, the boyfriend returned to the UK to visit family and assured her he would be back - but never returned.

This led to her making appeal on Facebook trying to find her boyfriend as she wrote: "I have an unusual ask. My boyfriend, and I live in Shenzhen, China.

"He went home (Norwich) at the beginning of April to visit and was supposed to be back in China by now.

"However, I have not heard from him recently and am worried something might have happened. If anyone knows of anything, please reach out to me."

After the post one of the boyfriend's commented: "He has a Mrs and children".

Having seen the comments and made aware he had a family back in the UK, Rachel shared a cheeky selfie on Facebook today with the caption: "Yes, I've seen the article... #CheatingB******".

Ms Waters told MailOnline her situation is 'unfortunate'.

Social media users were left shocked at the admission he had a secret family back in the UK as some users cruelly laughed at her situation.

A friend of the boyfriend's partner wrote: "Not really funny is it. He has a Mrs and children and I really feel for her right now! And another girlfriend in China it seems."

Another friend added: "Not funny for her in the slightest."

Rachel, who was born in South Carolina, is a part-time vlogger who uploads 'hilarious dating fails' on her YouTube channel.

However, she soon took down her post after becoming embarrassed that her boyfriend was living two separate lives.

According to reports, it's been claimed by some friends that the relationships between the pair did not overlap.
