“Your Boyfriend Made You a Stepmum”: Lady Happily Declares, Flaunts Her Man’s Son in Video
A young Nigerian lady has set social media buzzing after proudly declaring that she has become a “stepmum” — thanks to her relationship with a man who already has a child.
In a short but emotional video posted on TikTok by @omamofe_, the lady shared tender moments with her boyfriend’s young son, leaving viewers both touched and torn.
The clip, captioned “POV: Your boyfriend made you a stepmom”, showed her serving the little boy a plate of food, posing for selfies, and at one point, playfully carrying him on her back.
The scenes felt sweet and heartwarming — but not everyone was impressed.
Netizens React: Sweet or Too Soon?
While some applauded her love and acceptance of the boy, others fired back with strong opinions about dating single fathers and the risks of getting emotionally attached to a child that’s not yours.
Here’s how people reacted under the post, as gathered by NewsVista:
@DIAMOND KUSH wrote: “I pity una wey dey date single fathers. No matter what, the baby mama is still number one.”
@Virginboy questioned: “How can a girlfriend be a stepmom? Someone explain abeg.”
@Baby gal added: “I didn’t escape teenage pregnancy just to become a stepmother. Never!”
@symplytracy01 said: “Except the baby’s mom is dead, he will always find his way back to her.”
Yet, amid the criticisms, some comments stood out with compassion:
@T blinz warned: “Please never hurt that child. He now sees you as his mum. May God strengthen you.”
@Mamacita added: “If you’re going to be a stepmum, then treat that child with all your heart.”
A Growing Trend or a Red Flag?
The video has since gone viral, sparking larger conversations about dating partners with children — especially at a young age. Some argue it’s a noble step; others say it’s a dangerous emotional investment, especially if the relationship doesn’t last.
But @omamofe_ appears unbothered by the backlash. Her smile, her warmth, and the child’s comfort in the video suggest one thing: in that moment, love was present — titles or not.
