Stephanie Davis ‘sad’ following custody battle with Jeremy McConnell over their pet pooch Simba
The actress has been left upset over her lack of updates after handing Simba over
PREGNANT Stephanie Davis has already found herself in a bitter custody battle with ex Jeremy McConnell – despite being months away from her due date.
The pair have come to blows over their pet pooch Simba, who they bought together in April, with the actress left extremely upset with her lack of updates from Jeremy who has custody of the dog.
A source close to Steph tells us: “Jeremy took custody of the dog as it’d have been too much for Steph to look after him and a newborn baby.
“She’s not received a single picture or update since handing him over. She’s sad, misses him terribly and has no idea how he’s doing.”
When they split in May, Steph initially took custody of the Pomeranian puppy, thought to be worth thousands of pounds, before realising it’d have been too much for her as she wants to focus all her efforts on a healthy pregnancy.
When the pair first welcomed the pooch into their lives, Steph wrote: “New addition to our family! Mummy and daddy love youuuu,” while continuing to gush over the pup.
We reported on Friday how Jeremy is set to miss Steph’s birth entirely later this year, after repeatedly claiming he isn’t the father.
The model is reportedly being lined up for the latest series of Ex On The Beach, with filming abroad set to clash with the actresses due date.
A show insider told the Daily Star Online: “MTV were desperate to get Jeremy on board. His party boy ways and social media rants made him top priority. Obviously they wanted Stephanie Davis at first but now she’s pregnant there’s no chance.”
We have contacted Jeremy’s rep for comment.
