Having a baby and raising it during the pandemic has been pretty tough on young parents, but it's been especially complicated for one former couple. 24-year-old Jess Aldridge was thrilled to give birth to a little boy, but the day she brought her newborn son Reuben home from the hospital, her boyfriend, 29-year-old Ryan Shelton, ran off with her mom, Georgina.

Jess told The Sun, "It's the ultimate betrayal. You expect a new grandmother to fall in love with the baby — not the father."

The three had been living together during the pandemic so that Georgina could help with childcare since Jess and Ryan have another kid, a one-year-old daughter, also named Georgina. During that time, Jess started noticing things between her boyfriend and her mom. She explained, "We were stuck together for months in the house during lockdown. It was so hard, especially as Ryan and Mum were always being so flirty. I felt so uncomfortable, it was a horrible experience."
