Post Malone, the 29-year-old pop sensation, is now embroiled in a surprising legal dispute, as his ex-fiancée demands full physical custody of their two-year-old daughter.
The singer, whose real name is Austin Post, has been thrust into the spotlight once again, but this time it’s for a family matter rather than his chart-topping hits.
The Announcement of Fatherhood
Back in June 2022, Post Malone made a public announcement that he had become a father, though he kept his daughter’s name a secret.
Along with this announcement, he revealed that he was engaged to his daughter’s mother, but her identity remained a mystery. Fans speculated, referring to her as “Jamie.”
However, just a month ago, it was reported that Post and “Jamie” had ended their relationship.
A New Chapter for Post Malone
Post Malone has since been spotted with a new companion, 20-year-old influencer Christy Lee.
The two were seen in Paris recently, enjoying a public display of affection, which further fueled speculation about Post’s new romantic life.
Legal Drama Unfolds
Now, the identity of “Jamie” has been revealed to be Hee Sung Park, who is now seeking sole physical custody of their daughter.
Park’s legal filing was submitted to the Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday, requesting full custody of the child, whom she refers to as DDP.
The legal documents reveal that Park has been living with the child since November 2024 and is asking for joint legal custody, with Post being granted visitation rights.
Park’s filing also includes a request for Post to cover her legal fees, and she has made it clear that she is open to receiving child support.
The documents mention that the court may make orders for child support without prior notice to either party.
Post Malone’s Response
While Post Malone has not publicly commented on the new legal filing, he reportedly submitted his own custody documents in Utah, where he resides.
However, there has been no response from him to Park’s request yet.
Legal Trouble on the Horizon
In addition to the custody battle, Post Malone was recently seen in Los Angeles holding an open bottle of Bud Light in the backseat of an SUV.
This incident raised legal concerns, as California law prohibits carrying an open container of alcohol in a passenger vehicle, even if it’s unsealed.
The sighting has added fuel to the ongoing drama surrounding his personal life.
Post Malone’s Love Life and Family History
Post Malone’s relationship with Park has been filled with ups and downs, including a memorable proposal story.
In a 2023 interview, Post shared how he proposed to Park in Las Vegas while under the influence of alcohol.
After initially rejecting the proposal, Park asked him to propose again the next day when he was sober, which he did, and she accepted.
Post has always spoken highly of Park, describing her as the “right” woman for him and praising her as a wonderful mother.
He even expressed his desire for a big family, noting that he knew Park would be a great mom.
His heartfelt words about Park show just how much he valued their relationship before it all fell apart.
What’s Next for Post Malone?
As Post Malone deals with this unexpected legal drama, fans are left wondering how it will impact his career and personal life moving forward.
With his new relationship with Christy Lee taking center stage, and the custody battle with Park ongoing, the pop star’s life outside of music is making headlines once again.
Only time will tell how the situation will resolve, but for now, it’s clear that Post Malone’s personal life is just as complex as his music career.
