Co-Parenting Battle: Thee Pluto Alleges Mother-in-Law Is Main Obstacle to Seeing Daughter Zoey

Media personality and forex trader  Pluto has opened up about his ongoing family challenges during a recent appearance on the Obinna Show, revealing that he has been denied access to his daughter, Zoey.

He alleges that his mother-in-law, Felicity’s mother, is the main obstacle preventing him from being part of the child’s life.

“I have tried calling, texting, even the mother because I know she is the mastermind. It is not Felicity. The mum is the problem,” Pluto told host Oga Obinna.

Pluto Details Family Struggles

Pluto went on to question the role of Felicity’s father, highlighting what he perceives as a lack of intervention from both sides of the family.

“Where is Felicity’s dad in all this issue? When you call me, wazee, tubonge the whole issue—where is the dad? Inafika point wazee hawaezi solve issues na madem. Kama simu yangu hauchukui kama the father of your granddaughter, you don’t know why I am calling. Why can’t you pick or return my calls?”

He emphasized that his main concern is reconnecting with his daughter, denying that financial matters are at the root of the dispute.

“If it’s because of money, mimi mwenyewe nimeuliza how much money is needed. I wouldn’t come here and lie. The reason why I am not talking about Felicity is because she is not here to defend herself. Mimi kitu nasema ni I want to see my daughter.”

Public Reaction

Pluto’s revelations have sparked debate among fans and viewers. Many sympathize with his struggle to maintain a father-daughter bond, while others emphasize the importance of resolving family disputes privately and in the best interest of the child.

The story highlights broader issues around co-parenting, family dynamics, and the challenges of maintaining parental relationships post-breakup.

Here are some of the comment : 

@clovnce_ke : ''They think it's the men hurting. Sadly, it's the kid suffering .''

@tileh_pacbroh : ''Women, please understand that your personal beef should be separated from the child’s right to a father, you can NEVER replace a father’s role on a child !
Especially if the father is willing to be part of the child’s life.
You’re punishing the child instead of the father.''

@bravinyuri : ''Many women think they are punishing the father of a child by denying them access to their child when they intentionally want to be in the lives of their children, because they are bitter or angry at the father. Newsflash, you are just punishing the child and one day they will grow up and know what you did and your punishment will begin.''

Emotional Birthday Post Highlights Father’s Pain

This revelation comes just weeks after Pluto shared an emotional birthday message for Zoey, expressing the pain of a year-long separation.

“Happy birthday my daughter Zoey❤️. I hope you doing just great. I pray to reconnect with you one day. It’s been a year and I miss you. May God continue protecting and blessing you. All shall be well baby. You’ll understand one day. Just know even at a distance daddy is doing everything to ensure your future is veeeery bright. I love you and I’ll do everything to see you again. God loves you❤️??. I love you, I love you. I’ll always love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.”

The post reflects the deep emotional toll of being separated from his daughter and underscores his commitment to her well-being despite the challenges.
