Manti Te’o’s Real Life Girlfriend Is An Instagram Model With A Lengthy Arrest Record
Current San Diego Chargers linebacker and former Notre Dame standout Manti Te’o will forever have his football career overshadowed by his dating life, real or not. Te’o, infamous for being catfished by a supposed leukemia-riddled Lennay Kekua, has a real life girlfriend now. She’s 28-year-old Instagram model Jovi Nicole.

Okay, I see you Te’o. She passes the eye test, but let’s dig a little deeper here. As with most Instagram models, you need to approach with caution.
BlackSportsOnline reports the two have been dating for months, but they’ve kept the relationship on the down low.
After posting a recent video with Te’o which triggered this real-girlfriend talk, she changed her Instagram account to private. However, the word “taken” with a lock emoji still appears in the top right corner.
Jovi, whose real last name is Engbino, actually has quite the arrest record. She showed up in an Arizona newspaper’s “Most Wanted” list in 2009:
She’s also got at least three mugshots that we know of, which you can find here, here, and here.
Here’s a review(?) about her posted on The Dirty back in November when, according to this post, she was still dating Te’o.
“THE DIRTY ARMY: Nik, this made me LOL. It’s adorable when girls in Scottsdale try and pretend like they are high class. Miss Jovi Engbino AKA Jobi Nicole is perfect example from rags to… nothing but a bottle service girl with no future trying to get rich off of men. Charged with Felony theft, possession of drugs and paraphernalia, not to mention several other counts. You’re new Chargers BF Manti Te’o must be so proud to bring you home.”
Savage.
Somehow, Te’o’s gone from the nice, pure kid who took time to have a relationship with a girl with leukemia he’d never met before to now dating a real life Instagram model with a lengthy rap sheet. You’ve changed, man. She seems like more of a Gronkowski-type of gal.
Congrats on the real girlfriend, Te’o..

He has a thing for girls with problems.
10 years ago at 3:05 pmSame.
10 years ago at 3:46 pmI bet 1 in 4 girls in college have problems
10 years ago at 5:56 pmDon’t we all?
10 years ago at 10:05 pmSo I visit Scottsdale a lot. One night I was at one of their clubs and met a bottle service girl. Things went well and we exchanged number. A few days later she asked me to a party at some house. Gave me directions and I headed over. She met me outside and walked me in.
What I walked into was some Hawaiian sex worship orgy. They had a big statue of Manti in the middle with a cartoonish size erection. While all the women sat around eating hummus the men circled around the statue and violently beat off. When I objected to joining and wanted to leave, the women surrounded me started to beat me with coconuts and bamboo sticks while the men, still weirdly beating off, hurled insults at me. But kinda gay ones like “Yea you little bitch, you’ll never have abs as defined as Gabe’s”. Stuff like that.
Anyways. I got out of there alive, just self conscious about my ability to ever be found attractive in a gay nightclub.
10 years ago at 3:07 pmToo drunk to read this but I can tell it sucks. Can also tell you are a homosexual. Go do homosexual things, you homosexual

10 years ago at 3:09 pmOf course the native has a DUI
10 years ago at 9:18 pmShe is real, yet mostly fake at the same time
10 years ago at 3:57 pmPoetic
10 years ago at 8:28 pmI’d eat her shit with Rosie O’Donnell on a hot summer day…while twelve of my pledge brahs fuck my ex girl
10 years ago at 12:00 pmDude…
10 years ago at 5:01 pmIm no genius but I don’t think an NFL player dating a girl who has been arrested for theft is a recipe for success
10 years ago at 4:07 pmReal girlfriend but soon-to-be nonexistent bank account.
10 years ago at 4:08 pmI still don’t buy that she’s real
10 years ago at 4:45 pmWell this proves he has no experience with women at all, possibly gay. First making up a fake girlfriend and then dating a felon bottle service skank.
Dude you are famous and have money. Why not try for some quality?
10 years ago at 5:00 pmI still can’t believe people take him seriously. He was a grown man with a made up imaginary girlfriend.
10 years ago at 5:56 pmThey got her race wrong. That’s a black/hispanic if i ever saw one. Good for him though!
10 years ago at 6:02 pmI bet he can only get off when they are Skyping. He’s horrible at the IRL thing.
