He was once divorced and now faces prison for being married to two women at the same time.
But that hasn’t stopped bigamist Jason Hayter’s search for love as friends say he has proposed to another woman.
Sarah Taylor posted photos to her Facebook account of herself cuddling with the ex-soldier and showing off a sparkler on her ring finger.
But perhaps his own heart has been broken for once after the intense publicity that followed his court appearance last week, as Ms Taylor now insists the romance is over.
She also denied that she was engaged to him, despite stating on her Facebook page that she had accepted a marriage proposal.

Bigamist Hayter faces jail time after admitting a charge of bigamy
‘We are not engaged. That’s not an engagement ring,” the 44-year-old said at the home they shared in Frinton-on-Sea, Essex.
When asked if he was still her partner, the GP surgeon replied: ‘Not anymore.’
Norwich Magistrates Court has been informed that Mrs Taylor’s two-storey terraced house was Hayter’s residence and that details had not been updated by the end of last week.
Hayter did not respond to requests for comment.
Friends said the couple met in 2020 through 48-year-old Hayter’s current job as a paramedic, but they were under the impression they were still planning to get married despite the obstacle of facing up to seven years in prison if he was convicted.
“She knows he’s married because it says ‘married’ on Facebook,” one person told MailOnline.
‘I’m not sure if they have agreed on a date or location, but there is no trial for his divorce as he is due to be sentenced next month and has refused to leave both wives behind.’
But another said: ‘She knew he was still married but maybe she didn’t know it was to more than one person and he was looking at jail. I did not know that.
“If she stays with him, it will obviously be a while before they can get married.”
Love-cheat Hayter married Tracey Larcombe in 2010 and Sara Hayter in 2016.
He lived with one in Germany and the other in Great Britain. Neither woman knew about the other or the children he had with him.
They confidently accepted his claims when he had to leave because he was working or had psychological problems.

Ms Fortune, 53, also spoke about Hayter’s passion for ‘playing away’, calls from other women slamming the phone when she answered, and how he used two phones.

Hayter served in the army for 24 years, first as a guardsman for the 2nd Battalion The Coldstream Guards, including posts in Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan, and later as a sergeant for the Royal Military Police. More recently he trained as a paramedic with the London Ambulance Service.
He was only caught when one of his children became suspicious of a link to another woman on his Facebook account and contacted them to ask how she knew him.
Neither Mrs Larcombe nor Mrs Hayter would comment about their husbands.
But in court last Tuesday, Ms Hayter said in a statement: ‘I don’t want anything to do with him anymore. I didn’t see this coming. He manipulated me.
“I believe everything he has said to me is a lie. I don’t think he knows the truth anymore.’
Mrs Hayter added in her statement: ‘He walked away from me and the children. He has never sent a birthday card or asked about the children. We got nothing from him.
‘I was shocked to hear he had remarried and had three more children.’
Hayter – who is believed to have changed his name from Larcombe when he married his third wife – was originally married to Teresa Fortune, who exclusively revealed to MailOnline how he was also living a ‘double life’ with her.
The former Department of Defense administrative assistant and another woman once confronted him together after she showed up at the family home and revealed they were in a relationship – adding that she had been told he had separated from Ms Fortune.
The 53-year-old said her ex-husband’s priorities were always “work and play” and she often received calls from women who hurriedly put the phone down when she answered.

Ms Fortune, who divorced Hayter in 2009 over his adultery, today advised Ms Taylor ‘Don’t do it’ if she is still considering marriage.
She added: “He always has someone on the back burner, he always has a second option. You will end up heartbroken.”
Bald Hayter admitted the charge of bigamy when he appeared in court last week.
He arrived in a pinstripe suit and a long beard, wheeling himself into the building in a wheelchair. Police were told he had suffered a stroke last year. He has also been diagnosed with PTSD, according to his attorney.
Prosecutor Sally Harris told the court the impact of his offending was ‘very significant’ and was made worse by the time it had lasted and the fact that children were involved.
Magistrates warned Hayter that all sentencing options were open, including prison, as they sent the case to Norwich Crown Court where he will be sentenced next month.
