Europe’s Strongest Man Luke Stoltman’s wife Kushi breaks silence after going public with ‘cheating’ allegations
STRONGMAN champ Luke Stoltman‘s devasted wife has broken her silence after accusing him of having trysts with a woman powerlifter.
The hulking sportsman’s partner Kushi, 31, went public with cheating allegations on Wednesday in an explosive post on social media.
The mum claims her husband has been having liaisons with a fellow competitor while their child was unwell.
She said she was “heartbroken and devastated” in the post on her Instagram story.
Kushi has now shared her first post since she made the allegations and said she has been “overwhelmed” by the support she has received over the last few days.
She said she is determined to “rebuild a new life” for herself and her young child and will be focusing on her mental health.
As part of the process, she said this will involve deactivating her account to get some space, adding that the situation has been “extremely traumatic” for her.
Kushi wrote: “Overwhelmed with the amount of support I have received the last few days, it means so much.
My whole world has been turned upside down and I need to try and rebuild a new life for us and be the best mother I can be for my child

“Each and every one of your messages has brought me some sort of comfort.
“My whole world has been turned upside down and I need to try and rebuild a new life for us and be the best mother I can be for my child.
“I will be deactivating my account this evening.
“I need to focus on my mental health for the sake of my son as this has been extremely traumatic.”
The cheating allegations come after the couple finally welcomed their first child after years of fertility treatment.
Kushi previously 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.
I need to focus on my mental health for the sake of my son as this has been extremely traumatic

“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.”
She added: “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.

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.
“No I have not been hacked and I am so devastated how a man can put his family through this.”
When approached by The Scottish Sun, Kushi said: “This is all true I’m afraid.”
Support for Kushi from the strongmen community has poured in since the post on Wednesday night.
Many wives of other strongmen competitors have flocked to social media to offer encouraging messages to the new mum.
