My fiancé had sex with his best mate TWICE when I was pregnant – but I’ll still marry him
Shanita Hogan's happiness was shattered when she discovered naked photos on her partner Pete Jackson's phone
SHANITA Hogan was smitten with "perfect" Pete Jackson from the moment she met him.
But the 31-year-old's world was turned upside down when she found naked photos of Pete's best mate, Sonia*, on his phone. He swore there was nothing going on - but it was a lie.
Despite the infidelity, Shanita, from Ipswich, Suffolk, who was pregnant at the time, decided to stand by Pete, 36 - and even to continue with their planned wedding.
Now, for the first time, Shanita has shared her shocking story with Fabulous Online:
As I opened up my Facebook account and saw a friend request from a familiar face, I felt my cheeks blush. I’d first met Pete in America in 2013 when I was living there with my ex-boyfriend for work.
We were interviewing Pete’s boss but my eyes couldn’t stop drifting to his handsome colleague.
Just seeing her name on the screen triggered a flash of anger in me. Then when I opened her message, I felt the bile rise in my throat.
She had written: “So I hear you’re pregnant… I thought you should know that Pete never stopped speaking to me and we’ve been sleeping together for nearly two years.”
I didn’t know whether to believe her and thought she might just be bitter because Pete had ended contact with her. Either way, I needed to speak to Pete.
I expected him to tell me it was all a lie and that Sonia was just jealous and trying to cause trouble but instead, he broke down.
He admitted it, telling me it had happened twice. I couldn’t believe it. I told him he could be in the baby’s life but he was out of mine.
I was carrying Pete’s child, I couldn’t wipe him out of my life for good, and in December 2017 he arrived in UK in time for the arrival of our son.
Our son was born on December 8, tiny and perfect. Pete was with me as I delivered him but we weren’t together. I was still so hurt and angry with him, but watching him cradle our baby boy in his arms, my heart melted.
I was reluctant but I felt I owed it to our boy to give our love another shot. I wanted him to grow up with both a mummy and daddy to love him. Then, a week later, Pete proposed and I accepted.
It was tough waving him off but we Skype chatted every day so our son knows who his daddy is.
Pete will move to the UK permanently in November and then we can finally be a family and get married.
He’s cut Sonia out his life and now we are very transparent with each other. I don’t have any bad feelings.
I’m looking forward to the future now but I don’t think I’ll ever forget the day I discovered he was cheating with his best mate.
Pete told Fabulous Online: Yes this is all correct. Still to this day I feel the guilt from it. I never knew she even liked me in a way that she wanted to be with me. I owned up to my mistake and tried my best to gain her trust back.
It wasn't easy at all but we love each other enough to know that we are much stronger than the person that tried to tear us apart. I still to this very day apologise for hurting her.
Every time I get that random video chat call at 4am and I see my son so excited to see me that he's kicking everywhere and yelling ‘Dad, dad’ lets me know that Shanita is a great mother and an awesome woman and I'll be a damn fool to let her walk out of my life.
Katie's fiance cheated on her with her best mate in their bed – while she was IN it.
And Vicki Low, from Scotland, busted her man playing away... but took him back anyway.
And it has been revealed there are seven types of cheater - is your partner one of them?
