Friday, January 30, 2026 - Pere, the former wife of Nigerian singer Harrysong,
has announced that she is temporarily stepping aside from the custody of their
two young children.
The decision was made public through an emotional video she
shared on her Instagram story on Thursday morning.
In the video, Alexer explained that the move was not easy
for her, describing it as a painful choice that came after years of pressure
following the end of her marriage.
She said she has been the one caring for the children since
the separation, adding that they have been living with her, attending school
from her home, and only seeing their father occasionally.
According to her, this arrangement has lasted for about two
years.
Alexer accused her former husband of disturbing her peace,
claiming that he often comes to her residence without notice and creates
tension around her daily life.
She stated that the constant stress has taken an emotional
toll on her and made it difficult to continue coping.
She also mentioned that there are allegations
contained in a petition filed by the singer, which she plans to address later.
However, she said the emotional strain had
become too heavy for her at the moment, forcing her to hand over custody
temporarily.
While explaining her decision, Alexer made it
clear that giving up custody does not mean she has abandoned her children.
She insisted that she intends to return for
them when she is in a better emotional state
She further expressed concern about the
children’s living arrangement, claiming that their father is often not around
and that they may be left in the care of domestic workers despite their tender
ages.
Alexer revealed that she previously lived in
Asaba but relocated to Lagos after she began facing threats that made her feel
unsafe.
She added that her decision was not based on
weakness but on her need to stay alive and mentally stable.
She also appealed for the safety of her
children, stating that no mother truly wants to be separated from her kids, but
she felt she had run out of options.
She reassured that her bond with them remains
strong and that she would always return to be part of their lives.
In January 2024, Harrysong publicly spoke
about facing challenges in his marriage and asked the public to respect his
family’s privacy during that period.
Shortly after, Alexer made a social media
post hinting that the relationship had fully ended.
