Tracy, 43, has been married to David Akingbogun for 10 years and the couple had two children together but was shocked to find out that her husband travelled to Nigeria last Christmas to marry a new wife on Boxing Day. She only discovered the shocking news through a friend months later and kicked him out.
“While I was at home with the kids missing him at Christmas, his present to himself was a new bride and I still can’t believe he did that to us after more than 10 years together. I did some research and saw that the ceremony was a religious one and not a legal one, so he hadn’t committed bigamy.
“His dad had five wives during his lifetime, so I suppose David thought he could do that too but not when he was living in the UK and not when he was married to me. This Christmas it will be just me and the children again, just like it was last year but this time I’ll be over the moon that David isn’t with us,” Tracy added.
Living in Gravesend in Kent, Tracy was a single mum to Cameron and Alysia, now 17 and 13 when she met David in a nightclub while she was on a rare night out in March 2004. David had only arrived from Nigeria three months before and after a whirlwind romance moved into Tracy’s home and just six weeks later she became pregnant.
Their son Kayode, now 11, was born in December 2004 and they married two months later, while their second son Olalekan, now four, was born in December 2011. Tracy busied herself bringing up her brood while David turned his hand to various businesses from buying and selling cars to running a market-stall and setting up an internet cafe.
Last Christmas, however, David flew to Nigeria where he ended up getting married on Boxing Day. When Tracy confronted David about the wedding he denied it but she ended up contacting his new wife who sent her photos of their wedding.
