A COUPLE have hit back at trolls who claim she will be a single mum soon.
Sarah, from Germany and Cyprian, from Nigeria have now been together for three years, but their love still comes under scrutiny.
Sarah and Cyprian met online before she flew over to Africa to meet him[/caption]
Two weeks later she found out she was expectin his child[/caption]
Speaking to Love Don’t Judge, the pair explained how they first met when Cyprian saw Sarah in a social media video.
He saw that she loved horses and was struck by her looks, and he instantly knew she was the one.
He quickly slid into her direct messages and the pair began to chat as friends, but when Sarah broke up with her ex they began chatting even more.
It was at this time that Sarah, who had never been to Africa before, decided to buy a ticket to the Benin Republic, where the pair met face to face.
She said: “I think from the first day that we met, we were just together. We never said: ‘Are we together now?’”
Sarah adds that she didn’t tell anyone where she was going before booking the tickets, as she didn’t want people telling her not to go.
“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.’”
The pair seemingly got on well when they met in person, and two weeks after returning home from Benin, Sarah found out she was pregnant.
While the pregnancy was an accident, they decided to stick together and while Sarah gave birth Cyprian had to watch on Facetime as he didn’t have a visa to visit.
While Cyprian was in Nigeria, Sarah was raising their baby in Germany, until she was finally able to fly out again four months after giving birth.
It was the first time Cyprian had met his baby, and it was only the second time he had met Sarah in person.
Despite the obstacles, the pair are still very much in love and now live together in Germany and share their relationship on social media.
There, the pair have faced scrutiny as they detailed the negative comments they get.
“In 2 years she will be a single mother,’ ‘I’m with her because of the German passport,’ ‘They say don’t trust African me,’” Cyprian explained.
“For those judging our relationship, I pray you find healing.”
The Youtube clip went viral with over 17,000 views and people were quick to share their thoughts.
