Alexer Pere, the ex-wife of Nigerian singer Harrysong, has announced her decision to temporarily give up custody of their two children, aged four and three, in an emotional video.
The video, shared on her Instagram story on Thursday morning, showed Alexer describing the move as the hardest decision of her life, citing years of pressure following her separation from the singer.
“I didn’t plan to come on here, but I want this to serve as evidence that I’m making the hardest decision of my life. At this point, I have no option,” she said.
She added that she had been solely responsible for the children since the separation with her husband, noting that they attend school from her home and only visit their father occasionally.
“I’ve been doing my best for my kids. They visit their dad and school from my place. It’s been two years,” she said.
Alexer accused her ex-husband of constant harassment and interference, alleging that he frequently showed up at her home unannounced.
“This man has not let me rest. He frustrates my efforts and harasses me everywhere,” she said.
“I’m tired. There are many allegations in the petition he brought. I will respond in good time, but for now, the emotional pressure is too much.
“I’m giving him custody for now. That doesn’t mean I won’t come back for my children,” she said.
She also raised concerns about the children living with domestic staff, alleging that their father is rarely around.
“They are just four and three years old. You want them to live with house help because I refused to come back,” she said.
Alexer claimed that she lived in Asaba but moved to Lagos following threats by the singer to make life difficult for her there.
She acknowledged that her ex-husband might challenge her claims publicly, saying, “He will come out to counter everything. I’m not doing this because I’m weak. I need to live.”
She further requested for the safety of her children, adding that she’ll come back for them, saying, “No mother wants to live without her children, But I don’t know what else to do. I’ll always come back. I want you in my life.”
PUNCH reports that Harrysong publicly admitted to having marital struggles in January 2024, and requested that the public respect his family’s privacy during the ‘challenging time.’
Days later, Alexer shared a cryptic post on Instagram stating that she was “officially done.”
The duo got married in March 2021 and have two children together.
