Drama Unfolds as Kenyan Bride Caught in Love Triangle — American Woman Claims Groom Slept With Her Hours Before Ceremony
What was meant to be a fairy-tale wedding quickly spiraled into a spectacle of betrayal and heartbreak after an American woman claimed that the groom had spent the night with her, just hours before walking down the aisle.
On July 26th, Franck Arnaud married a Kenyan lady going by the name Wairimu (Nimo) in a lavish wedding ceremony held at the Marriott. The couple looked like a picture of perfection—smiles, vows, and Instagram-worthy moments. But behind the glitz, a messy love triangle was waiting to explode.

A Night of Secrets
According to the unnamed American woman, who claims to have been Franck’s lover for over six years, the groom was with her the night before the wedding. She claims they spent the evening together at Franck’s house, and he only dropped her off at 4 AM—just hours before he donned a fresh suit and said “I do” to another woman.
Adding insult to injury, Franck allegedly lied to her that morning, saying he had a dentist appointment. By 4:30 PM, he was not in a dental chair. He was at the altar, reciting vows while standing next to Nimo, the woman he had apparently been planning to marry behind his sidechick’s back.
The American woman says she only found out about the wedding when a friend of Franck’s posted photos online. “I had no idea he was engaged,” she revealed, adding that they had even discussed having a child together.
Red Flags, Ignored
Social media users have weighed in on the drama, questioning how such a long-standing affair could go unnoticed. The sidechick reportedly spent many nights at Franck’s place over the past year. This has led many to speculate that Nimo may have known but chose to ignore the signs.
“There are always signs,” one commenter said. “Some women choose the title and ring over truth and emotional safety.”
Others suspect the relationship may have been transactional. “This looks like a 50/50 relationship. She might have the money. He brought the commitment—at least the performance of it.”
A Low-Budget Love Triangle?
The internet has dubbed the situation a “low-budget love triangle,” arguing that neither woman should be surprised. “One woman demanded commitment and got a performance. The other rented herself out emotionally and sexually with no real return on investment,” said one viral comment.
Critics of Franck’s actions say the bigger issue is how love and marriage are increasingly rooted in ego, appearances, and convenience—not real emotional connection.
“These days, many people want the wedding more than they want the relationship,” said another user. “Commitment without authenticity is just performance.”

The Real Cost of Settling
This incident has reignited conversations about modern love—how many women are single not because they’re unworthy, but because they refuse to settle for fake affection.
The story of Franck, Nimo, and the American lover has become a cautionary tale: about choosing peace over performance, truth over titles, and love over lies.
As the dust settles, one thing is clear—when it comes to relationships, authenticity will always matter more than appearances. And in the age of social media, no secret stays buried for long.
