American dating app Bumble has apologized to Kenyan attorney Donald Kipkorir after he discovered a profile bearing his details on the online platform.

Kipkorir wrote to the Texas-based dating site through Twitter, saying he would never join an online dating app given that he is a devout Catholic.

“Dear @BumbleSupport@bumble.. I had never heard of Bumble until today when a friend of mine sent me my following profile showing I am on Bumble,” he wrote.

“As a Roman Catholic, I can’t join a Dating Site. Kindly block the person using my profile picture below & my name Donald.”

Kipkorir tied the knot with Noni Weru a few years ago and the couple has a child together. He proposed to her aboard an Emirates flight in 2017 and held a traditional marriage ceremony months later.

Bumble wrote back to the flamboyant lawyer apologizing for the fake account.

“We’re sorry this is happening! Fake profiles go 100% against our guidelines. Please send us a DM so we can find this account. We’re sorry this is happening! Fake profiles go 100% against our guidelines. Please send us a DM so we can find this account. 💛,” Bumble said in a statement.

Bumble is the second-most popular dating site in the United States after Tinder.

Profiles of potential matches are displayed to users, who can "swipe left" to reject a candidate or "swipe right" to indicate interest. 

In heterosexual matches, only female users can make the first contact with matched male users, while in same-sex matches either person can send a message first.

His catholic faith would not allow his to use such a site.That is unless he loses the faith...He might not even"faithfully" agree to payment from a site of which services he objects/What say you?
