Kip Wightman has broken down in tears while discussing sharing custody of his four-year-old son Rafael with his ex-wife Amber.
The Brisbane radio host revealed on KIIS’ Robin, Terry & Kip breakfast show, he was left heartbroken when his son asked him why he and Amber don’t live together like his friend’s parents.
‘The worst thing that happened on Sunday was when I picked him up and we were going to a family barbeque and he said “Dad I know someone named Charlie from daycare”,’ he explained.
Rafael then said: ‘Dad, you know, Charlie’s got a mum and a dad. And they’re in the same house. They live together.’
‘And sometimes they pick him up together … I want that’.
