Now, heading towards the birth of her child, Serena will be a single mum after her boyfriend split up with her – with him supposedly claiming she was never even pregnant.
After the student found out she had been cheated on – and thinking it only happened once – she was prepared to stay with him to work out their issues for the sake of their unborn child.
To try and uncover the truth the 22-year-old made an Instagram account and catfished the account to make it appear as if it was her exes’ social media profile.
Through doing so, she discovered she had allegedly been cheated on by at least five different women.

In an attempt to inform his family that he was going to become a dad, Serena, who had never met his relatives in person, thought she had reached out to his mom on Instagram before later finding out it was a fake profile set up by her ex.
She shared the crazy story on TikTok with it quickly going viral and getting lots of engagement online – with people sharing their variety of opinions.
One person sarcastically said: “He sounds like a lovely guy and quite the catch to father your child.”
Whilst another person commented: “This happened to me.
”The worst betrayal trauma I’ve ever been through.”
Serena, who is from Scottsdale, Phoenix, Arizona, USA, said: “My boyfriend abandoned me in my pregnancy.
“We broke up halfway through the pregnancy and when we did, I found out about the plethora of women he was cheating on me with and how he denied to everybody that I was pregnant, and if I was, that it was not his kid.
“Throughout the months I have learned new updates about how he’s portraying my pregnancy.
“He created a fake Instagram page of his mum that I then got in contact with and thinking it was her when in reality it was really him all along.”

Five tell-tale signs that your partner is cheating
Tracey Cox, a sex expert, revealed the five most common signs that could indicate your partner is cheating – and why more passion in the bedroom is actually a red flag.
You’re having passion in the bedroom than usual
Chatting to Mail Online, the guru explained in some cases people are more passionate at home because they’re having sex on the side – and this affair sexually arouses them.
They’re being more loving or critical than usual
Tracey explained: “Things that used to cause arguments between you now don’t – your partner is letting you ‘win’ because they’re no longer invested in the relationship.”
She added: “Equally as likely is that they will become overly critical, pouncing on everything you do wrong and pointing out your many flaws. This justifies the affair to themselves: Of course I’m having an affair! I’m married to her/him!”
They accuse YOU of cheating
The pro explained that this sneaky tactic ”sends a signal that they believe cheating is a bad thing and they must care about you, or they wouldn’t care less if you cheated”.
What’s more, it’s also often genuine – after all, they’re getting away with seeing someone else, so why couldn’t you?
They avoid eye contact
Chatting with the publication, Tracey said that only ”a seasoned liar and hardened person can look directly into the eyes of someone they know loves them when they are betraying them”.
In fact, she claimed, if your partner can look you in the eyes and touch you lovingly at the same time, it probably means they aren’t up to anything bad.
Their interests change
The relationship whizz said that if your partner used to love rom-coms but, all of a sudden, they’re into documentaries, the person’s become ”new”, ”changing or expanding their interests and hobbies”.
