Laura Saponara's Terrifying Date With A 'Celestial' Man Changed Everything

What began as a harmless gym encounter quickly spiraled into one of the strangest nights of Laura Saponara’s life.

It was an evening so disturbing that it ultimately pushed the rising social media star to chase her career with new intensity.

Her date’s bizarre claims, unsettling behavior, and chilling conversations created a story she still hesitates to tell, yet one that profoundly reshaped her path.

Before the night turned surreal, everything seemed normal and promising.

Laura Saponara recalled that her date had initially come across as “sweet, nice, respectful,” and their first outing to Dave and Buster’s felt harmless enough.

He asked her out again, and for their second date, the pair went bowling. Once again, he played the part of a perfectly polite companion.

However, when the evening wrapped earlier than she expected, he pressed to keep spending time together.

Not wanting him in her home but unwilling to dismiss him abruptly, she agreed to follow him back to his place.

What awaited her there was something she could never have predicted.

Inside his bedroom, the lights were off, and the air was thick with discomfort.

Soon, an innocent conversation about her taser suddenly twisted into something unrecognizable.

“He tells me to tase him, and I’m like, What?” she said in a chat with The Blast.

She asked him to clarify, and he doubled down, telling her, “I don’t feel any pain.”

At first, she questioned him out of confusion, but his answers only grew stranger until he revealed what he claimed was the truth, claiming to be “a celestial.”

According to him, being a celestial meant “that he’s an angel in a human’s body.” The revelations didn’t stop there.

When Saponara asked if his claim resembled the premise of the TV show "Lucifer," he replied, “Oh yeah, they just didn’t get everything right,” explaining further that “Lucifer actually goes by Satan,” and insisting the show’s “daddy issues part” was accurate.

She pushed the conversation to its logical next question, if that made them brothers. “Yes,” she recalled him saying.

At that point, the situation stopped being quirky or eccentric and veered sharply into the realm of the alarming. He claimed he had wings.

When she asked to see them, he insisted he couldn’t “pop them out on command,” but told her he could display them on a rooftop.

Suddenly, she felt the danger of her surroundings with piercing clarity.

Her first thought was immediate and terrifying: “He is going to off himself, the both of us,” she said.

Despite Laura Saponara's attempts to regain footing in the conversation, the claims only went deeper.

He told her he wasn’t actually 25 years old but was born during a time he described as “AD,” though she believed he meant “BC.”

He then estimated his age at “2000 something years old.”

It didn’t stop there. The man went on to say that a future child they might have together would also be a celestial, that he had been placed on Earth to “protect me specifically,” and that she could “become a celestial too.”

At that point, the date’s polite façade had evaporated entirely.

Saponara listened long enough to ensure her own safety but mentally had already checked out.

Once she got the chance, she cut off contact completely.

However, the story didn’t end when she walked out the door.

Immediately after Laura Saponara told two friends what had happened, she said the man called her twice.

Even more unsettling were the odd moments that followed in the days and months afterward, incidents she still struggles to explain.

One night, after sharing the experience, clouds formed outside her high-rise window despite it having been clear moments earlier.

At a gym event, he appeared only minutes after she recounted the story there.

A year later, she was out on another date when she brought up the experience again.

As soon as she finished retelling it, she said a bowling lane malfunctioned.

According to her, “anytime I tell this story, something always, always happens.”

Whether coincidence, superstition, or something stranger, the pattern became impossible for her to ignore.

In the aftermath of that unnerving night, something in her shifted.

Rather than retreating from the world, Saponara poured her energy into her social platforms, focusing on authentic, fitness-centered content that quickly resonated with viewers.

Her following exploded to over 1.3 million fans across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.

Her background in performance, bolstered by a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Arts from Loyola Marymount University, helped her navigate the spotlight.

She appeared in short films and even featured in a music video for The Weeknd and Maluma.

Originally from Aruba and now thriving in Los Angeles, she built an online presence rooted in discipline, honesty, and consistency.

Reflecting on the turning point that set her on this trajectory, she summed it up simply, saying, “Honestly, after that situation, I just decided to lock in on my social media career, here I am now collaborating with brands like RedBull and YoungLA.”

What began as a frightening encounter ultimately became the catalyst that propelled Saponara into the successful creative path she walks today.
