Just two weeks after meeting her online boyfriend on the other side of the world, a woman fell pregnant with his child. Now the couple are happily in love and have a strong message for cruel trolls
WhenSarah posted a video on her social media, she had no idea it would end up changing the course of her life forever.
Cyprian, from Nigeria, saw the video and was instantly intrigued by her appearance and her love for horses, and decided to take the plunge and slide into her DMs.
At the time, Sarah had a boyfriend, so the pair were initially nothing more than friendly internet pen pals. But when she broke things off with her ex, sparks started to fly with her long-distance friend.
The conversation between the two intensified over messages, and Sarah wanted to meet Cyprian in person so badly, she decided to take a massive risk.

Sarah booked a ticket to the Benin Republic, having never visited the continent of Africa before, to meet Cyprian face-to-face.
She decided to keep her trip a secret because she didn’t want to be deterred by whatever her friends and family might say about going such a long way by herself, to meet someone she had only ever chatted with online.
“I did not tell anybody because I knew that people will come and say ‘Sarah I don’t think you should go, it is too dangerous,'” she explained in YouTube video on the relationship channel, LoveDon’tJudge..
Since meeting in person, the pair have been in a relationship, Sarah admitted, “I think from the first day that we met, we were just together. We never said: ‘Are we together now?'”
Two weeks after getting back from her trip to Benin, Sarah realised that she had fallen pregnant with her new love’s child.
Despite not planning the pregnancy, the couple decided to move forward and have the baby – but it has not always been easy. When Sarah gave birth in Germany, Cyprian was unable to be there in person, because he did not have a visa to come to the European country, so instead he had to watch the monumental moment on FaceTime from his home in Nigeria.
It was only when the little one was four months old that Sarah was able to travel to see her long-distance partner again for the second time ever. During their second in-person meeting, Cyprian was introduced to his baby, but the couple claims they have been going from strength to strength ever since.
Now, the pair live in Sarah’s home country of Germany together, and they post on social media regularly about their romance. However, they don’t always get the most enthusiastic feedback from other social media users.
Cyprian explained that some people are cynical about their relationship, with some trolls cruelly saying that “before long, Sarah will be a single mother”, as well as alleging he is only interested in Sarah for the “German passport”.
However, Cyprian had a simple message for the hater out there: “For those judging our relationship, I pray you find healing,” he said in the video.
