A man from Florida named Henry Betsey Jr is in some serious hot water! Apparently, he’s been going around secretly marrying not one, not two, but three different women in three different counties. That’s wild! Talk about living a double (or should I say triple?) life!
I mean, who even does that? How do you keep track of three wives in three different places? It’s like something straight out of a soap opera or a bad reality TV show. I wonder how he’s going to get out of this mess – or if he even can!
Thirty-eight-year-old Henry Betsey Jr was caught when the three women found out they had all been married to him and sought a police investigation.
A Florida man’s story has shocked people after it was found that he married three women in three different countries. Henry Betsey Jr was arrested for bigamy after it was discovered that he had kept his wives in the dark about his other marriages. The 38-year-old was caught when the three women found out they had all been married to the same person.
Using dating apps such as Bumble and Tinder, Henry specifically targeted recently divorced women, according to an ABC Action News report. He described himself as “charming” and “attentive” on the apps, and claimed he was looking for someone to settle down with. “Looking for a beautiful woman who understands the ups and downs of life, is trustworthy and no games,” the man’s dating profile read.
Once these women fell into his trap, Henry would escalate the relationship and marry them within weeks of first making contact. The police discovered that the man’s true intention was financial fraud as he would insist these ladies open joint bank accounts with him. Once his motive was achieved, he would begin to treat his wives horribly and even engage in domestic violence.
According to the report, Henry first married Tonya Betsey at the Duval County Courthouse in November 2020 after meeting her that month on Tinder. Two years later, in February 2022, he entered another marriage with Brandi Betsey in Manatee County, pursuing her through dating app Stir despite his relationship with Tonya. The very same year in November, Henry tied the knot with a third woman, Michele Betsey, in Hernando County having connected with her through Match.com.
It was through Tonya’s suspicion that Henry got arrested. Upon sensing her husband was indulging in something wrong, she began investigating his activities. Tonya searched Henry’s name in each county and discovered that he is also married to Brandi. “I just started county by county, putting in his name. And that’s when I came up with the marriage to Michele and the marriage to Brandi,” she said.
Tonya also reached out to Michele, who commented, “She [Tonya] found me and she messaged me, and I had no idea that she was actually still married to him.”
Michele immediately contacted the authorities and got Henry arrested after all three wives submitted proof of their marriages. The police caught Henry in Seminole County in 2024 and launched an investigation into the matter. Having since filed for a divorce with Tonya, Henry is looking to annul his marriages with Michele and Brandi.
All jokes aside, this is a serious situation and it’s definitely not something to take lightly. Let’s see how this crazy love triangle – or should I say love square – plays out in the courtroom.
