Manti Te'o's Girlfriend Finally Comes Forward

After months of speculation, Manti Te’o’s girlfriend has finally come forward. In an exclusive interview with the National Inquirer, she reveals that she is actually a figment of Te’o’s imagination.

“I don’t even exist,” she says. “I’m just a product of Manti’s overactive imagination. He created me to help him cope with the pressures of being a college football star. I’m not real, and I never have been.”

The girlfriend says that she feels bad for the people who believed she was real, but she insists that she is not to blame.

“Manti is a grown man, and he should know better than to make up imaginary girlfriends,” she says. “I hope people can forgive him and move on.”

As for Te’o himself, he is reportedly “devastated” by the revelation. His parents have issued a statement saying that they are “disappointed” in their son, but they still love him and support him.

It remains to be seen how this will affect Te’o’s football career, but one thing is for sure: he will never live this down.
