Faye Winter has revealed she’s been targeted by racist trolls who hope she can’t have children with her boyfriend Teddy Soares.
The couple found love on the 2021 series of Love Island, and have since moved in together.
Speaking on the Secure the Insecure with Johnny Seifert podcast, the 27-year-old said she’s been told she’s “not worthy” of being part of Teddy’s culture.
Faye confessed: “We’ve had really tough time and we’ve had the struggles.”
“I’ve definitely been told that I’m not I’m not worthy to be accepted into [Teddy’s] culture and people hope I can’t carry Nigerian children.”
“I’ve had some really bad stuff and Teddy had some bad stuff, but it’s all outside noise because it’s not coming from anyone that cares.”
“Everyone that has ever met us want nothing more than me and Teddy to get married have babies and live a happy life,” Faye explained.
The former estate agent also revealed Teddy’s mother, who is Portuguese, had a similar experience when she first started dating his dad.
“She said that she had quite a few issues when she was with Teddy’s dad, you know, where she didn’t feel like she would be accepted into the culture,” she said.
“You know, I definitely do feel like that sometimes – and also I worry that I’m not enough to try it.”
However, Faye said she tries her best to block the negativity out.
“I get on so well with his family, and he gets on with mine and actually anything else around is just noise we don’t need to listen to,” she added.
The news comes after the couple sparked engagement rumours last week.
