Mantis biography

Born on January 26, 1991, the footballer’s name was Manti Malietau Te’o. His parents are Brian and Ottilia Te’o and he is not their only child. Manti has five siblings, four sisters and one brother.

He is known to have played football for Punahou School, a private facility in Manoa, Honolulu, where he also had his middle school. Manti started playing soccer in high school in 2007. That same year, he won honors for Defensive Player of the Year as well as Gatorade National Player of the Year.

Completing his high school year with exceptional records that brought him a lot of attention. He improved his performance as a senior and was named Gatorade State Player of the Year for the second year in a row. That’s not all, he’s also received a slew of other awards, including 2008 First-Team All-American and National Defensive Player of the Year honors.

Given the tremendous success of his high school career, it was no surprise that Manti Te’o was a respected 5-star recruit who had over 30 colleges offering him scholarships. He chose Notre Dame for reasons well known to him and entered an active college football career with them.

Te’o kept up with his impressive performance as he was in charge of Irish football team Notre Dame Fighting. This was from 2009 to 2012. He received various awards later in the year. In addition to being an unanimous All-American, he received the Lott Trophy, Lombardi Award, Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Butkus, Maxwell, Walter Camp, and Chuck Bednarik Awards.

With a distinguished college football career, he was drafted for the 2013 National Football League and was drafted 38th overall by the San Diego Charger in the second round of that year’s NFL draft. The team later signed a 4-year, $5 million deal. As reported, the deal guaranteed $3.1 million and presented the linebacker with a $2 million signing bonus.

Manti stayed with the team until March 2017 when the New Orleans Saints called to add him to their roster. This led to him signing a two-year deal with the team.

While it’s not out of place for many to contend that this linebacker hasn’t matched the accomplishments of his high school and college careers as a pro. There is no denying that he is a remarkable footballer. As of the first week of the 2018 NFL season, his NFL career stats include 288 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 2 interceptions, a forced fumble, and 12 pass deflections.

Manti Te’o fake girlfriend

An ugly incident that Manti Te’o will never erase, according to him, he had experiences with his mysterious online girlfriend named Lennay Kekua. She reportedly died of leukemia in 2012. Manti announced to the media that his grandmother and girlfriend had died on the same day – September 11, 2012. Little did he know that said girlfriend was only played by Ronaiah Tuiasosopo. Reporters like Timothy Burke and Jack Dickey had to step in to decipher the hoax.

The hoax is said to have been uncovered through an email Te’o received in January 2013, which promptly led to the person behind the scam. Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, a family friend of Manti’s, has been duly identified as the impersonator. Ronaiah used the pictures of Diane O’meara, his former high school sweetheart, to carry out the crime.

Is he now married to a woman?

Manti Te’o is still unmarried, however, he is currently dating beautiful Instagram model and fitness instructor Jovi Nicole Engbino. The two are said to have met with fake girlfriend Manti Te’o three years after the drama. Since 2016, they’ve been publicly spotted together several times, and as far as we can see, what they have in common has increased more.
