Alexer Pere, former wife of popular Nigerian singer Harrysong, has announced her decision to temporarily step aside from the custody of their two young children.
The emotional revelation came via a heartfelt video Alexer shared on her Instagram story early Thursday, where she detailed her ongoing challenges since the end of her marriage.
Years of Single Parenting and Emotional Strain
In the video, Alexer described her choice as extremely painful, emphasizing that it was not made lightly.
Post-separation, Alexer has been primary caregiver; kids lived, schooled from her home nearly two years.
According to Alexer, their father, Harrysong, has only seen the children occasionally during this period.
Alexer accused her former husband of repeatedly disturbing her peace by coming to her residence unannounced and creating tension in her daily life.
She said the constant stress and lack of stability had taken a significant emotional toll.
Making it increasingly difficult to cope with the responsibilities of single parenting under such conditions.
Legal Disputes and Safety Concerns
The former couple’s relationship has been marked by ongoing legal and personal disputes.
Alexer says Harrysong’s petition contains unresolved allegations she plans to tackle later amid custody saga.
Emotional strain overwhelmed her, forcing tough custody relinquishment for now, she stressed.
Alexer also expressed deep concern about the wellbeing of her children.
Harrysong’s frequent absences mean kids, aged 4 and 3, would rely on househelps primarily, she claims.
She stresses decision shows strength, not neglect, vital for survival and mental health.
“I need to stay alive and mentally stable for them,” she said.
Alexer appealed for the safety and proper care of her children, reiterating that no loving mother would willingly choose separation from her kids. “I have not abandoned my children.
“I will return for them when I reach a better emotional state,” she promised. She assured followers and the public of her unwavering love and commitment to her children.
Background: A Relationship in the Public Eye
Not long after, Alexer also hinted that the marriage had fully ended through her own social media posts.
Married in March 2021, the pair share two children, now aged four and three.
Alexer openly shares single motherhood struggles, choosing mental health over custody amid painful separation fallout.
Her story sparks vital talks on family dynamics, custody battles, emotional wellbeing post-high-profile breakups.
Her appeal for understanding and support underscores the complex realities many parents face behind the scenes of public relationships.
