Man surprises his ex-girlfriend by paying off her ENTIRE mortgage as a birthday present
Shaun Nyland, from Newport, Wales, who was more than three million TikTok followers, surprised his ex girlfriend, Cat Keenan, on her 31st birthday by paying off the mortgage on her house.
The pair were together for seven years and share a three-year-old son, Leo – but after trying to make their relationship work, parted ways in April this year. They have since broken up but remain on good terms, and regularly share videos about navigating their relationship as friends.
Shaun, who shared Cat’s reaction in a video he shared to the platform, quickly went viral for his generosity and has now racked up over 4.6 million views.
In the clip, Shaun throws Cat her own house keys and then begins to explain why, saying: ‘It’s your birthday today, I want you to have the best birthday ever.’
‘I know we’re not together anymore, and I’ve been so proud of you, you’re the best mum ever, so I did something. I rang up the bank, I paid off the entire mortgage. This house now belongs to you.’
Cat, not being able to believe his kindness, checked her phone for the confirmation and then gave him a huge hug while thanking him.
Commenters were astounded by his gift with many insisting Shaun must still be ‘in love’ with his ex.
But many questioned why Shaun would do such a thing considering he and Cat were no longer together, which lead to a series of follow-up clips.
In a second clip, he explains: “At the end of the day, my ex-girlfriend gave me the best gift any man could ask for by bringing Leo into this world and I know it was tough for Cat to try and live the same lifestyle we lived but by herself.
“Honestly guys, I’m still shaking right now. I’m just so grateful that I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to do this, not just for Cat, but also for my baby so that he’s got a roof over his head for the rest of his life guaranteed, and I just think if you can do that then why wouldn’t you. It was a no-brainer for me.”
