Europe’s Strongest Man Luke Stoltman splits with wife as she accuses him of tryst with fellow athlete in explosive post
STRONGMAN champ Luke Stoltman has split from his wife after she accused him of trysts with a woman powerlifter.
The hulking sportsman’s partner Kushi, 31, claims her husband has been having liaisons with the fellow competitor while their child was unwell.
In a heartfelt post on social media, she also made further claims of adultery and said she was “heartbroken and devastated”.
It comes after the couple finally welcomed their first child after years of fertility treatment.
Kushi wrote on Instagram: “I thought my world was complete going through so much heartache to get my beautiful baby boy and finally get pregnant and getting that happily ever after I’ve always wanted with my husband after trying for so many years.
“Our son is 9 months old now and this weekend after our son has been in hospital so sick and Luke refusing to come and see him in hospital because he was with another woman behind my back.
“I am absolutely heartbroken and devastated that someone could be so cruel and nasty.
“He is not the man he portrays himself to be.
“Thank you very much Luke Stoltman… for torturing me.
“I have no idea how people in this world can be so cruel.”
When approached by The Scottish Sun, Kushi said: “This is all true I’m afraid.”
She added online: “I am absolutely heartbroken and what I have been put through is unforgivable.
“People can portray themselves a certain way publicly but their true colours always show in the end.
“No I have not been hacked and I am so devastated how a man can put his family through this.”
In the wake of her post on Wednesday night, Kushi received support on social media from wives of other strongmen competitors.
Stoltman, 39, from Invergordon, Ross-shire, is currently Europe’s Strongest Man and has won the national title five times.
Nicknamed the Highland Oak, he is the older brother of current World’s Strongest Man Tom, 30.
Tom’s wife Sinead was one of those to send support to her sister-in-law, as was famous lifter Eddie Hall’s partner Alexandra.
Luke Stoltman has been a long-standing campaigner for mental health awareness and has regularly shown support for brother Tom and his struggles with autism.
Their success on the global strongman stage has helped them create the Stoltman clothing brand which has its own store in Invergordon.
The siblings document their fitness competition journeys on social media and YouTube, including videos of their heavy duty training regimes and gut-busting diets.
The pair run the Stoltman Academy which is a platform offering “online coaching by the world’s strongest brothers”.
It offers individuals one-to-one coaching, training and meal plans and the chance to be part of “an amazing community that will support you every step of the way” in achieving fitness goals.
Luke has also featured regularly in Kushi’s YouTube channel where she documents their faamily life – including a recent video of the couple’s first holiday with baby Koa.
Luke Stoltman was contacted for comment.
