In a detailed statement, Uria clarified that he has always been present and involved in his child’s life.

“Some time ago, the mother of my child made a post containing false and negative statements about me, specifically claiming that I had not been providing for my child. I chose to remain silent at the time, not because the accusations were true, but because I believe that sometimes, dignity lies in silence," he shared.

The Chelsea FC fan affirmed his commitment to fatherhood, stating that he has consistently met his responsibilities.

“For the record, I have been providing for my child's needs, including accommodation, healthcare, food, and other essential responsibilities. I have always taken my role as a parent seriously and have done everything within my means to support and care for my child,” he added.

Uria claimed that he has also been emotionally drained by being denied quality time with his child.

He alleged that despite showing willingness and capacity to care for the child, the mother has repeatedly blocked access.

“It has now been a year and a half since I took the child home. During that instance, she came and took the child forcefully. She also claims to be pushing me to bond with my child, yet every time I get an opportunity to be with him, she keeps calling and pressuring me to return the child, often before we even get quality time together," Uria explained.

The pundit also claimed that at one point, the child’s mother falsely told people he had kidnapped the child and even attempted to involve the police.

Uria maintained that despite the backlash the issue had brought him, he is focused on building a stable future for himself and his child.

“I have a reason to live a life out of frustration. I deserve peace, growth, and purpose. I'm moving forward not out of bitterness, but out of a deep desire to build a better life for myself and my child,” he said.

He called for mutual respect between them and urged his baby mama to stop using the internet as a weapon.

“The negative posts and public shaming were not only false but also harmful. Rather than retaliate, I have chosen a different path: one of growth, accountability, and healing. There are some other things I can’t mention because of respect. The truth always has a way of revealing itself in time. I trust that those who matter will see it," he shared.

In other news, Uria faced backlash online after sharing a photo of a goat he planned to gift to Peter Drury.

Many social media users criticised the post, accusing him of chasing publicity.

However, the content creator dismissed the negativity, describing it as fuel to keep pushing forward and stating that he usually ignores such comments.
