Let’s start this story with a bit of background.

Until her divorce in March 2017, Nikyta Moreno (below) thought that she had the perfect relationship.

She and her then-husband, Robert Palmer (with his new wife, above), the owner of Be Exceptional Fitness, a fitness and wellness business, met when they saw each other through the window of a gym.

Following a brief friendship, they started dating and shortly thereafter moved in together.

On December 23, 2015, they married in a civil ceremony, with plans to have a bigger wedding on August 12, 2017.

In December of 2016, plans for the wedding were well underway, when things abruptly changed.

Moreno says that Palmer underwent a personality change, and refused to go for couples counselling.

Stressed out by the wedding, she went to stay with a friend, and when she returned he asked for a divorce. By March, they had officially parted ways.

It all sounds pretty standard. Sometimes couples grow apart, and there’s nothing like a wedding to put added strain on a relationship where one of the people involved isn’t feeling it anymore.

In this case, it looks like Palmer is not only an idiot, but a dishonest one at that.

He’s also a bit of a monster. When Moreno found out that she was pregnant in May that same year, he told her he didn’t want the baby.

Nice guy.

The New York Times, one of the largest and most-read publications in the world, was forced to update a ‘Vows’ article in its wedding section when Palmer remarried, and decided to tell the story of how he met his new wife, Lauren Maillian, leaving out some crucial details.

Palmer says that he spotted her at the gym (this seems to be a pattern), and after some witty banter, decided to exchange numbers. Two days later they met at a coffee shop, before meeting again that night.

Love, more love, and eventually a proposal.

They were married this year.

The problem? This all happened in 2017 while he was still married to Moreno. He also claimed that he had never been married.

Speaking to the New York Post, Moreno says that she found out about her then-husband’s infidelity when a friend alerted her to the article.

As I received more disgusted texts from family and friends, I asked a friend to summarize it because I couldn’t bring myself to click on the link.

It was a New York Times wedding announcement detailing the love story of a fitness entrepreneur and his new wife. According to the article, the couple, Rob and Lauren, started their relationship in January 2017. It also said that he had never been married.

That was news to me — because I was his wife in January 2017. We split in late March of that year, officially divorcing in January 2018, and I never exactly understood why. Until I read about it in the Times.

After her friends contacted the New York Times, it issued a correction on the marital status, but Moreno says the sting of finding out she had been cheated on via that article left her fuming.

He was publicly admitting that he dated this woman while we were married — the details of his infidelity laid out on the page.

When I put their presentation next to the truth, it was like one of those ­reality-versus-Instagram memes come to life.

As you’ve figured out by now, Moreno, isn’t staying quiet about what happened.

I’m sure it put a bit of a damper on Palmer’s big day.

As for his new wife, she might want to amend the prenuptial contract to include a clause that prevents him from making eye contact with the women in his gym.
