I fell in love with a dad of 80 kids – we even got engaged but then I found out he tried to get someone else pregnant
A WOMAN who got engaged to a dad of 80 kids was left heartbroken when she discovered he tried to get someone else pregnant.
Kyle Gordy, 32, is known for being the biological father to 80 kids – and counting – around the world.
He’s helped families struggling to conceive for years[/caption] But Annika was left heartbroken and called off their engagement when she discovered he was still trying to get other women pregnant[/caption] The programmer, from Germany, admitted the relationship was a “nightmare from start to finish”[/caption]He met Annika Phillips, 39, while appearing on the popular reality television series, 90 Day Fiancé, which aired from April to June 2024.
The pair hit it off at first, but after a few weeks in paradise, they called it quits – and now, she’s admitted their short-lived engagement was a “nightmare”.
“The main reason I called our engagement off was that he wouldn’t consider stopping sperm donations to other women,” she sighed.
“He wanted to still help people conceive, either artificially or naturally, and that made it really difficult for us to move forward.
“It was a bit tough for me, because I often worried about being judged and we had quite a few arguments about his donating.
“I knew deep down he couldn’t give it up… it was a nightmare from start to finish.”
Annika, a programmer from Germany, actually first started speaking with Kyle when she reached out to him on Instagram in early 2023, in search of his services.
But when she first spoke with him on a video call, she claims there was a “spark”, and she “fell deeper” for him as they would talk for hours before bed.
The pair first met in person in Malta in June 2023, where their first official date was filmed for the show.
However, she then discovered that Kyle had been keeping a secret.
“I thought we were in a committed relationship when I first met him in person,” Annika told NeedToKnow.
“But then he told me that as recently as the week before, he had performed an in-person insemination.
“I was disgusted and hurt.
“My feelings were crushed and I couldn’t believe he had essentially lied to me.”
How to become a sperm donor
COUPLES struggling to have a baby of their own, or same sex families, may need the help of a sperm donation.
A sperm donor needs to undergo some tests before donating.
According to CoParent.co.uk, centres may require donors to:
- Be aged between 18 and 41
- Agree to be screened for medical conditions
- Be free from any serious medical disability or any sexually transmitted diseases
- Be healthy and fit
- Know and provide information about the medical history of their family (parents, grand-parents, siblings and children)
- Have no inherited disorders within their family
- Not use any drugs
- Agree that their ID can be released if requested by any person conceived as a result of their donations once said person reaches the age of 18
- Provide a proof of ID (copy of their passport or driving licence)
- Be willing to commit their time to the sperm donation process
- Have high sperm quality (motility, count, and shape).
To find the nearest licensed clinic, check out the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) website.
To make matters worse, Kyle was lacking “manners”, but told Annika she “had a point system, where he would judge me on how I behaved”.
“If I didn’t get enough points, there would be no kisses of affection for me,” she added.
Whereas, when it came to his own appearance, he was “sloppy and gross”, and even “kept adjusting his b**ls in public”.
After eight months of being engaged, they broke things off after a “huge fight” at the end of filming.

While they started speaking again a few months later, they are firmly platonic friends, with no romance involved.
At the end of filming, after around eight months of being engaged, they officially broke things off, following a “huge fight”.
A few months later, though, the pair started speaking again.
And now, they’re good friends and are focused on being there for one another; even if it’s not romantic.
“Since we’ve become friends, all I want is for him to be happy,” Annika concluded.
“I’m also trying to make him a better person for some potential girlfriend, as he seems to be very unlucky due to his difficult lifestyle.
“Despite us not working out, I still wish him all the best.”
Kyle offers his services for free in a bid to help struggling families conceive, with those interested getting in touch via his Instagram.
He also runs the website Be Pregnant Now and had taken a hiatus from donating late last year, before returning in January for only a “select few” women.
He currently has 15 children on the way, and has even given up masturbating to ensure a health sperm count, but is still looking for the right woman – who would need to accept his controversial hobby.
“Finding love is, of course, difficult due to my circumstances,” he said.
“But I feel confident that it will happen.
“It is unfortunate that it didn’t work out with Annika, but I value our friendship and appreciate the advice she gives me.”
