Singer Harrysong has reacted to his ex-wife, Alexer Peres, following her emotional announcement about relinquishing custody of their two children.

Alexer had earlier alleged harassment and interference in an Instagram post, claiming the singer is rarely present and leaves the children in the care of domestic staff.

In response, Harrysong denied restricting her access to the children, describing himself as an involved and responsible father who actively provides for their needs.

He said he has chosen to avoid prolonged public exchanges to protect the children’s image and future career prospects, adding that he is hurt by the narrative being circulated.

The singer stressed that his primary focus remains the well-being, safety, and overall development of their children.

He wrote, “I’ve chosen restraint to protect the mother of my children and, most importantly, our kids because what’s said online lives forever. I previously made the mistake of speaking from emotion and learnt the hard way.

I never said she couldn’t have access to them.

“They’ve been in my custody is a decision made for reasons u can’t put out on the internet. I’ve remained active, present father and have continued to provide for our children, even while they were in her care. The current narrative online is deeply hurtful and risks damaging the very image and career that supports our children. Is it worth it?

“I won’t engage in public back-and-forth that could one day harm them. My focus remains their well-being”.

Alexer Peres, ex-wife of singer Harrysong, has announced she’s temporarily giving up custody of their two kids, aged four and three. 

In an emotional video, Alexer said she’s been shouldering responsibilities alone since their separation with the kids visiting their dad occasionally. 

“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. 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.

She accused Harrysong of constant harassment and interference, saying she’s “tired” and needs a break.

Alexer claimed Harrysong shows up unannounced at her place, frustrating efforts to care for the kids. 

“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.

According to her, leaving her kids with the father’s domestic staff in his absence is worrisome, saying their dad 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.

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.”

The couple got married in 2021 and have been open about their marital struggles. 

Harrysong had requested privacy during their challenging time, and Alexer announced she was “officially done” in January 2024.
