HEARTBROKEN Kieran Hayler was seen fighting back tears in a video as he revealed he “hasn’t seen his kids for six months” in an emotional post.
The 36-year-old appeared from his garden in the clip and could be seen wearing a white t-shirt.
He told fans: “It’s the first Father’s Day without all of my children. This is a message not just about me but all those dads out there and mums that have been dads that haven’t got their children this Father’s Day.
“It’s tough. I dropped my children off on a Friday and expected them to be returned on a Monday and I haven’t seen them for almost six months. Not properly.”
Kieran shares two children – nine-year-old Jett and eight-year-old Bunny – with ex Katie Price.
He continued: “I’ve seen them here and there but not properly. False allegations here, false allegations there, ‘he’s this and he’s that, their household is this and their household is that.’

“Parental alienation is massive. It’s a huge and I see why dads give up the fight as the system is built for the mum and for the mother’s, it’s not built for the dads and it doesn’t matter how strong you’ve been or how you’ve been there through absolutely everything, including agony, heartbreak and pain.
“You’re still there for the kids no matter what is going on on the other side, you’re still there.
“When it comes down to it the system is built for mums and that is a really sad scenario.”
The star was supported by his fiancée Michelle in the comments, who wrote: “stay strong don’t know how you haven’t given up but you haven’t you love them so much no matter what is thrown at you 😢 your the best daddy.”

Kieran continued to say he was “lucky,” as he explained in the clip: “I’ve had Father’s For Justice supporting me and I’m looking forward to the next steps with them.
“This is the worst feeling in the whole world. You feel like no matter what you do, nothing has ever been good enough.
“It doesn’t matter how hard you fight, they always come back for me and that’s what parental alienation is.”
An emotional Kieran apologised to his fans in the clip, and thanked everyone for “sticking by him.”
“Every time you take one step forward you go ten steps back and that’s hard, horrible and heartbreaking and I don’t wish this on anyone, but I’m a fighter and I don’t give up,” he continued.
Adding: “I will keep fighting for what I think is right and for the truth.”
A spokesman for Kieran then told us: "Kieran’s focus remains as always on the children and their best interests. To not have them with him today is heartbreaking.
"The support Kieran has received today has been phenomenal. "
Kieran split from former glamour model Katie back in 2018.
Katie has slammed her ex-husband as a “disgusting human being” after he was recently arrested.
The Sun exclusively revealed 36-year-old Kieran was being held on suspicion of possessing a firearm and child neglect in April.
Cops seized an air rifle amid allegations he had made threats to fire it.
Hayler's neighbours told The Sun at the time how cops swarmed his Northchapel home on Good Friday.
One said: “It was very dramatic, a police van and car suddenly turned up on the driveway of their home.
"We later heard it involved a gun which was quite frightening.”
Sussex Police confirmed Hayler was arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence and child neglect.
Kieran was freed from custody and his rep told The Sun her client is “assisting police with their enquiries”.
They added that his air rifle is "perfectly legal" and he is "confident" he has done nothing wrong.
