Jaylan Banks Dumps Falynn Pina After Their Messy Affair Produced A Love Child
Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Falynn Pina and her baby daddy Jaylan Banks have called it quits after less than two years.
On Thursday, Falynn Pina, 33, announced the breakup of her engagement with Jaylan Banks via her Instagram account.
“It is with deep sadness in our hearts that we have decided to end our journey as a couple,” the former couple said in a joint statement posted on their respective profiles.
“Though we love each other very much, we feel it is best to part ways. Our bond as family and friends will never be broken,” they concluded. “We ask for privacy at this time.”
The couple’s messy relationship started while Falynn Pina was still married to Simon Guobadia. Towards the end of Falynn and Simon’s marriage, the Nigerian businessman accused Falynn of cheating with his former assistant, Jaylan Banks and conceiving a love child during their marriage.
While Falynn and Jaylan did not give a reason for the break up, the pair’s relationship was rocky from the start and they recently suffered a miscarriage weeks ago.
“Filled with tears” and “broken hearts,” Falynn posted on Jan. 11 over the death of their baby.
Falynn gave birth to Jaylan’s only child, Emma Sang, on Nov. 26, 2021.
Falynn and Jaylan announced their engagement a month before the birth of their first child together.
“I said YES!!!” the former Bravolebrity shared on social media in October 2021. “I have no clue how @itsjaylanbanks pulled this big surprise off but I have not stopped balling [sic] my eyes out. I love you baby❤️ #PerfectlyPina.”
The couple began their romance as secret lovers, while Falynn was married to Simon Guobadia, her now-ex-husband with whom she appeared on The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Simon Guobadia, 58, exposed Falynn’s affair with Jaylan, writing in a scathing post on Instagram at the time, “Let’s start with why I filed for divorce. Let’s start with who she cheated with and currently pregnant for and living in a home I paid for — post divorce.” The millionaire posted receipts from surveillance and private detective reports.
At the time, a source claimed Falynn and Jaylan remained friends during the time she was married to Simon and says their relationship did not have any bearing on her divorce. “The man is on his fourth wife. Obviously he’s the problem.” the source tells the Shaderoom. “This man will point the fingers at anyone but himself.”
Falynn Pina also accused her ex-husband of cheating in a tearful interview at the time, “Simon doesn’t get caught unless he wants to be caught. I meant what I said when I took my vows. It hurts; it hurts like hell.” In response, the Nigerian-American businessman denied being unfaithful and offered $50,000 to anyone with receipts.
His divorce from Falynn was officially finalized in July 2021, at which point Simon Guobadia began dating Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Porsha Williams.
Simon and Porsha then tied the knot in November 2022 with two over-the-top weddings in Atlanta. The newlyweds are currently on a three country honeymoon. On February 9, Porsha captioned a post — “My Now & Forver❤️ #HoneyMooners 🇨🇷 #TheGuobadias,” of the couple smiling.
Simon gushed about his new wife in a similar post while honeymooning, “The Guobadias STILL Honeymooning; from Paris🇫🇷to Malta🇲🇹, and now Costa Rica🇨🇷. Two weddings….3 honeymoon locations. God is good.🙏🏾 #blacklovematters #livingourbestdamnlife.”
