A New Jersey firefighter who went viral for exposing his wife’s alleged cheating during a shocking confrontation at his own birthday party is not reconciling with his better half, insiders told The Post.
Nick Galante broke the Internet when he turned his 40th birthday party into a bad episode of “The Jerry Springer Show” when he confronted his wife Samantha Egues for allegedly cheating on him.
The initial footage of Galante with Egues seemed sweet, with the fireman taking to the microphone to tell the audience he got something for her, even though it’s his birthday.
“Happy wife, happy life bulls–t,” Galante says into the microphone, pulling a ring box from his pocket.
Galante then makes his bride remove her wedding rings and hand them to him. He then kisses her hard — as if a Mafia kiss of death — and pushes her away.
“I f–king know everything,” Galante says, eliciting laughter from the bewildered partygoers. “That’s right, b–ch, I know everything.”
He was just getting started.
“I know all about the Plan B pills you had to take, you filthy f–king whore” Galante screams at her. “F–k you. I f–king know everything. Don’t act like you don’t f–king know.”
He told her he despised her for ruining their nearly four-year marriage and hurting their children.
“I hate the life you stole from our children,” he said.
When a stunned Egues throws her arms up in confusion, and says, “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Galante threatens to share his alleged evidence with everyone at the party. She then walks away from him.
He then kicks out “anybody who now sides with this piece of sh–.”
Egues and her family left the shindig, but Galante stayed behind with friends to keep partying, according to the footage.
The tirade was filmed by party guest and posted to TikTok and other platforms, where it’s gathered 6 million views and counting.
The couple — who were IDed as the people on the video by a family friend — was reportedly said to be giving their marriage of nearly four years another shot, but the source refuted that.
Galante and Egues, 33, are still living under the same roof, but they will not be working things out, an insider close to the couple told The Post.
“Not happening,” the source told The Post. “He’s got too much respect for himself to do that.”
“He doesn’t want to be there, but he can’t leave” their Nutley home, the source said. “Possession is nine-tenths of law, right? He won’t budge from there until a judge makes a decision about who’s gonna get what.”
Many expressed sentiments of support for Galante.
“That was a head spin,” commented a Reddit user after seeing the clip. “She thought she was getting an upgraded ring — now she’s TikTok famous for all the wrong reasons.”
“After seeing the divorce party part and his friends supporting him, I think Nick is gonna be just fine,” another wrote on Reddit.
Galante and Egues did not return calls or emails seeking comment and the pair have gone silent on social media.
A GoFundMe campaign launched for Galante has been disabled.
The Belleville Fire Department did not return calls for comment.
