Brisbane radio host Kip Wightman has broken down in tears as he discussed sharing custody of their four-year-old son Rafael with his ex-wife Amber.
He revealed on KIIS breakfast show Robin, Terry & Kip that he was heartbroken when his son asked him why he and Amber didn’t live together like his friend’s parents.
“The worst thing that happened on Sunday was when I picked him up and we went to a family barbecue and he said, ‘Dad, I know someone named Charlie from daycare,'” he explained.
Rafael then said, “Dad, you know, Charlie has a mother and a father.” And they are in the same house. They live together.’
“And sometimes they pick him up together…that’s what I want.”
