A video on Instagram shows the earth-shattering aftermath as she found out about the deception.
She tearfully said: “It’s been an hour since I found out the love of my life, my college sweetheart, the father of my four children, my husband, has a baby that’s one week old. And I’m devastated.”
The star continued: “And I tend to keep these things to myself because of shame and embarrassment — but it really caught me off guard.
“And I’m so hurt. But, I’m okay. And, I’m wondering what God’s hand in this is. I’ve always believed it was something divine, but sometimes, maybe your grace runs out – for him.

“He’s never cheated on me before and when he does, he gets a baby out of it. And that’s just something I won’t be able to do…. I feel like this is a bottom I never deserved.”
Reams of followers rushed to her rescue and shared their sorrow for her.
Paloma Faith sympathised: “I feel sorry for your husband because he will probably realise too late that he squandered the greatest woman he ever or will ever meet and hopefully you will live a better life than ever before.”
Nadia Sawalha penned: “I can see you have a huge heart, a deep soul, an unshakeable moral code, the strength of a lioness, a strong faith, exquisite beauty and the ability to be vulnerable. A 360 degree woman for whom anything is possible.”
Former Towie star Georgia Kousoulou added: “Sending you so much love. Bigger things are coming for you.”
In a follow-up video, she explained: “The calls and check-ins have stopped… the house is quiet… and I’m left with silence.
“And piercing through this silence is a clear and loud sense of peace. The peace that surpasses all understanding.
“I almost wish I wanted to drink, party, plot revenge, cuss folks out, binge eat, find comfort in the arms of another man or any of the self defeating things people do in times like this… but I don’t.

“There is no void to fill. I’m sad but God’s presence in this season is so loud that all my flesh wants to do is rest.”
Updating fans further about her social media break, the teary star shared her next moves and revealed: “Okay, this is the last video I’m gonna post together an entire break for my entire phone, because that video is at like 800,000. I’ve gained 10,000 followers overnight.
“I really do appreciate all the support, and all the prayers, and all the voice notes, and everything. I do feel insanely grateful for that.
“The reason why it’s getting that much attention has nothing to do with me, but everything to do with that universal feeling of betrayal.
“I was in a relationship for 13 years. I was proud. I was proud that I loved him, he loved me… up until he told me, he was my best friend.
“I felt like I knew him. As deep as you can know a person and finding out, but that’s not the case.”
She stated positively: “I’m gonna work it out. I’m the working it out queen.”
Fans commented: “I just want to give you the biggest hug…”
“Keep watching this video and you’re making me wanna cry,” admitted a second.
“My God mama. My heart hurts for you, it could just as easily be anyone. You did nothing wrong!!!” encouraged a third.
