Woman’s Boyfriend Runs Off With Her Mum WhileSheWasGivingBirthToHisBaby
By Alex Turner- Cohen
A new father abandoned his newborn child and dumped his girlfriend to run off with her 44- year-old mother instead.
Ryan Shelton sent a text to his 24-year-old girl- friend Jess Aldridge hours after she had given birth to their son, telling her he was ending their relationship.
Shelton, 29, then moved to Gloucestershire in south-west England to spend time with Aldridge’s mother Georgina.
By the time Aldridge was dis- charged from hospital, she had lost her mother
Georgina and boyfriend, and was left to fend for herself, footing the bill for rent and food.
“You expect a new grandmother to fall in love with the baby — not the father,” Aldridge told The Sun.
“She is meant to
be a granny to my two children and helping me look after them but instead she’s off shagging my boyfriend.”
Aldridge met Shelton online and they had been together three years before he cheat- ed on her with her mother.
She gave birth to their son Reuben on January 28, via C- section at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital.
They also had another child together during their three-year relationship.
Things all started going wrong dur-
ing the UK’s first lockdown, accord- ing to Aldridge.
She had to watch on as her mother and boyfriend flirt- ed with each other in the house during the months being stuck at home.
Aldridge said the experience was “horrible” as she
saw her mother and boyfriend drink together, and one time even caught Shelton touching her mother’s bum.
“They always insisted there wasn’t anything between them but I always suspect- ed they were up to something,” she told The Sun.
Aldridge’s mother Georgina was married to her 56- year-old husband Eric when she decided to run away with the much younger Shelton.
Georgina report- edly justified her actions by telling her daughter: “We can’t help who we fall in love with.”
