Although he is going through a custody battle with his ex-wife Norma, Tyrese Gibson is quick to say that the drama does not spill over on to his 2 ½-year-old daughter, Shayla Somer.
No matter what, the singer/rapper/actor maintains that patriarchs should do the right thing and be a father to their children.
“At the end of the day, this is what I would say to all fathers: Don’t allow the conflicts between [you and] the mother of your child … to get in the way of your responsibility as a father,” Tyrese shared with People.com’s Celebrity Baby Blog. “Your responsibility when you coexist and create a child is to be a father — period — because that child is affected by your irresponsibilities if you decide to be irresponsible,”
Tyrese’s stance on fatherhood comes amid ups and downs in his divorce from Norma, which he filed in January 2009. Irreconcilable differences were cited in the split, which occurred after 10 months of marriage. Through all the divorce complications, Tyrese’s feelings for Norma continue to remain while proclaiming his love for Shayla.
“I still love the mother of my child and that will never change,” the entertainer shared.
