Boyfriend Secretly Married Another Woman While His Girlfriend Was in Labour

A new father committed the worst betrayal – as he married another woman while his girlfriend gave birth.

Heather McGillion, aged 24, was in hospital going through complications with her pregnancy, thousands of miles from boyfriend Adonis Rodriguez.

The two met as entertainers for tourists in the Dominican Republic and were excitedly planning their future together after spending more than a year as a couple.

But when Heather, from Renfrewshire in Scotland, fell pregnant, she decided to come back to the UK temporarily for the birth.Dominican Adonis couldn’t get a visa so he stayed behind preparing for their new baby – or so Heather believed.

It turns out he took the chance to marry another woman, leaving the mother of his child devastated and heartbroken at his betrayal.

Heather realised what was happening as she welcomed her son Diego into the world – and then opened a message on Facebook from a friend showing a photo of Adonis, aged 21, marrying a German tourist.

Heather, a trained dancer, said: ‘When I opened the message it felt like I had been hit by a double-decker bus.‘Adonis had his arms around a woman and she was wearing a wedding dress.

‘It didn’t make sense and the more I thought about it, the more absurd it was.‘We had only been apart for a few weeks and there was no way Adonis could have met another woman and arranged a wedding in less than a month.‘For a second I didn’t twig who it was. Then to my horror I realised it was Julia. 

‘She was a German tourist who came to stay at the hotel. About a year before I had noticed Adonis had become friends with her on Facebook and they had been messaging each other.

‘It was nothing sexual but it made me feel uneasy. But Adonis assured me there was nothing going on and when I discovered I was pregnant I forgot all about it.’

When Heather confronted Adonis about it over the phone, he admitted marrying Julia, but claimed he only did it for a visa. 

To add insult to injury, Heather said Julia, aged 31, looked radically different from the plain tourist she remembered.‘She was unrecognisable from the slightly plump, mousy woman I had seen on Adonis’s Facebook page,’ Heather said.

‘In fact she now looked like me. She had lost weight and dyed her hair to look just like me, only with added wrinkles. 

‘When I phoned Adonis and asked ‘Why is Julia in a wedding dress,’ there was a pause and then he said: ‘Heather, I’m so sorry’.‘I hung up and burst into tears.’

She found out that Adonis had been seeing Julia behind her back and that when he said he had moved to another hotel to find work, he had been meeting up with her

Julia had travelled to visit him four times, and Heather claimed the two plotted the wedding to coincide with the period she was back in the UK.

‘She knew all about me and him and the baby but still married him, they had both planned it and I was the one not in the know,’ Heather said.

Despite everything, she still moved back to the Dominican Republic with Diego, now three months old, and is allowing Adonis to visit him.‘My mum has retired here so I have come out again with my son,’ Heather said.

‘I feel so foolish for trusting Adonis but I keep telling myself there were no warning signs. He treated me like royalty and he was so excited about our baby.

‘I still can’t believe what happened. Adonis had given me the impression he wanted to be together forever but while I was giving birth to his baby, he was marrying another woman.’
