Jayden Adams’ son’s mother speaks out
Dedicating the post to Adams, she wrote:
“We didn’t always see eye to eye, and life took us down different paths, but none of that changes the fact that you were Jude’s father. That is something no one can ever take away.”
Solomons shared that it broke her heart that her son and his sister would grow up without their father and promised to make sure the siblings had a special bond. Noting that she would keep Adams’ memory alive through their son and ensure he knows who his father was, she added:
“I never imagined we would have to say goodbye like this. No matter what happened between us, I never wished this for you. I wish things had been different. I wish you had more time.
“Thank you for giving me the greatest gift I could ever receive, our son. Through him, a part of you will always live on.”
