The couple are said to have
been separated for “a number of months”, and this week Jennifer, 36, went to
court to ask for a protective order to keep David, 37, away from her.
Jennifer Hudson and her
fiance David Otunga have split after 10 years together. They are now battling
for custody of their son.
The order was granted
yesterday and a representative for the singer has confirmed news of the split.
A spokesperson for David has hit back at Jennifer, accusing her of using the
protective order to gain an unfair advantage against him in their custody
battle over son David, Jr, eight.
His lawyer Tracy M. Rizzo
said in a statement:
“David Otunga has been
trying to negotiate the terms of an amicable parenting agreement with Ms.
Hudson for several weeks now.
However when it became
apparent to Ms. Hudson that Mr. Otunga would be the parent granted residential
care of the child, as a result of Mr Otunga being the child’s primary caregiver
while Ms Hudson pursues her career all over the world.
Ms. Hudson decided to file
a meritless Petition for Order of Protection in an effort to gain an unfair
advantage in the custody dispute.
As a result of Mr Otunga’s
career in the WWE, Mr Otunga claim he has
never abused or harassed Ms. Hudson or their son, and it is unfortunate,
especially in today’s climate, that she would feel the need to make these false
allegations against him. “
Mr Otunga looks forward to
his day in court and in being awarded the residential care of the parties’ only
child.” The duo got engaged back in 2008, after less than a year of dating.
