This comes after the Ghanaian UK-based musician announced the end of their 15-year marriage in August 2023. The couple, who share three children, have faced a public battle over the separation, with Reggie sharing his side of the story on social media.
In a controversial social media post, Reggie, known as part of the Reggie N Bollie duo from The X Factor, described himself as a “foolish father and husband.” He also claimed he was being kept from his children. However, Edith’s recent interview contradicts this, as she breaks her silence after two years.
Pained by the separation from his children, Reggie took to social media in December 2023, expressing his grief. He wrote, “As a father, as a man, I haven't been able to speak with my children throughout this year, and I keep asking myself like, what is my crime? I have tried all other ways like literally just to be able to speak with my kids and it's all like falling on deaf ears. What is my crime? I'm not a criminal. I've raised these kids for 16 years.”
However, in her interview with Caleb Nii Boye, a former EIB presenter, Edith claims that Reggie has not made any effort to contact the children. “Have you called behind the scenes? Sent a text, emailed, or made any effort ... he hasn't,” she said, highlighting that Reggie has not contacted his kids directly.
"It’s not easy to open up about this situation. Never in a million years did I imagine being thrown into the chaos of a public spectacle for the past two years while trying to heal, survive, and care for my children. During this time, I’ve faced relentless judgment and hurtful accusations not only questioning my character as a woman, but also attacking my role as a mother.
But I’ve come to realize that my silence, which I believed would shield my children, has only allowed the emotional strain to grow unchecked. It’s a burden too heavy for anyone to fully comprehend, except me, their mother living with them, nurturing them, and fighting to protect their emotional and mental well-being," she added.
Edith further explained that she has often been accused of blocking Reggie's involvement in their children’s lives. She described the pressure of being a single parent, revealing it has taken a toll on her, even resulting in two accidents.
According to the teaser of the interview, Edith stated that when they last went to court, Reggie chose to go to his hotel room to “rant online” rather than address the legal matters. As of now, the musician has not responded to Edith's claims in the interview below.
