Ghanaian musician Edith Ward has publicly denied claims by her ex-husband Reggie Zippy that she is blocking him from seeing their children. In a statement on Instagram, Ward said Reggie Zippy has always had the means to contact their children directly, including their son Nolan's unchanged phone number. She expressed disappointment that he continues to share a different narrative with the public. Ward and Reggie Zippy, whose real name is Reginald Ainooson, were married for 15 years before their divorce in August 2023.

According to Ward, there has never been a court order preventing Reggie Zippy from seeing their children. She urged him to reach out directly to build a steady, private relationship with them. The couple shares three children: Nolan, and two others whose names have not been specified. Reggie Zippy has repeatedly alleged that Ward prevented him from seeing the children, claims she has consistently denied. Their public disagreement has been ongoing since their divorce.

The dispute between Ward and Reggie Zippy resurfaced recently, with both parties sharing their perspectives on social media. In November 2024, they briefly appeared together in public to celebrate their daughter Princess Dior's 10th birthday, sparking speculation about a possible reconciliation. However, Pulse Ghana reports that disagreements between them have continued since then. Ward said she encouraged Reggie Zippy to maintain a relationship with the children during their last conversation in early 2025.

Ward emphasized that their children deserve a private relationship with both parents, rather than a public and contested version of events. She expressed hope that Reggie Zippy will work towards building a positive, private relationship with their children. The public nature of their disagreement has drawn attention from fans and followers, who have been presented with competing accounts of the situation.

There is no indication that either party has taken the matter to court or initiated legal proceedings over custody or access. Pulse Ghana's report did not mention any planned public response from Reggie Zippy to Ward's latest statement. The timeline for resolving their differences privately remains unclear. Ward's statement has been seen as an effort to address the public narrative surrounding their family situation.

Reggie Zippy, a well-known musician in Ghana, has not publicly responded to Ward's latest statement. His allegations of being blocked from seeing their children have been a recurring theme in his public statements since the divorce. Ward's denial of these claims has been consistent, but the public disagreement continues to draw attention.

The situation highlights the challenges of co-parenting after a high-profile divorce. Ward and Reggie Zippy's experience has sparked discussions about the importance of maintaining a positive, private relationship between parents and children. The couple's fans and followers continue to watch the developments in their family situation.
