“Pose” star Angelica Ross stunned the Internet on Thursday when she revealed that her apparent boyfriend was actually engaged to another woman and had a child.
Just a day before the shocking bombshell, Ross, 39, had shared photos of herself and the unidentified man. In one photo, the couple is happily posing in front of a giant bubble teacup. In another, Ross smiles into the camera as her mystery man kisses her on the cheek.

The actress later retweeted a fan who essentially summarized what happened for anyone who was left confused by Ross’ tweet.
“For those who don’t get it. Queen Angelica found this man and was dating. She posted this on Twitter and we all REJOICED in excitement,” tweeted @MrAndrewRoby.
“Twitter FBI probably saw the tweet and told Angelica this man has a kid and is engaged. Angelica was talking to his fiancé all morning.”
“Basically,” Ross replied.
Although at one point Ross suggested that she’d divulge the entire story on Instagram Live “with a bottle,” she later tweeted “After talking with my girl @KingAmiyahScott, I realize I am not in any condition to go LIVE on my IG tonight. Going to pray about it instead.”
