Fabio Ide admits being a dad
Brazilian-Japanese model Fabio Ide finally broke his silence and admitted he has a baby daughter by Denisse Oca, actress Melissa Mendez’s daughter.
Fabio explained that he had a “casual encounter” with Denisse 14 months ago and only found out he’s the girl’s dad last May, thus junking rumors that Azkals player Phil Younghusband sired the child.
The right thing
“This is my official statement regarding the issue at hand. I'm truly a blessed man to have this beautiful baby girl by my side. 14 months ago (2 months before I met my present girlfriend) I had a casual encounter with Denise Oca and I later found out I got her pregnant and it was only in May this year that I found out I was a dad in a not ideal scenario but because of my upbringing and family values I chose to accept this child and support her no matter what,” Fabio posted in his Instagram account, along with his and his daughter’s photo.
Although he and Denisse are not in a relationship, Fabio supports his daughter because he doesn’t want her to grow up without a dad.
“Sometimes life is not what you expect of it but it is always how we react to it and I chose to do the right thing. I have kept this private for a few months just to my family and friends who knew I was going through a tough time. There are many fatherless children out there and I refuse for my daughter to be one of them. I have been supporting my daughter from the start but I'm only opening up to the public now bc it's such a sensitive issue. Thank you so much for supporting me throughout my career and understanding this difficult situation right now,” he said.
Warring women
Fabio also spoke about the issue between Denisse and current girlfriend Michelle Pamintuan. Denisse posted on Instagram a screengrab of Michelle’s alleged text message to her. It said that Denisse’s mother is “the most evil person” and that Fabio regretted being the baby’s father.
Fabio explained that Michelle has already apologized.
“It's so painful to see what is happening now. What my girlfriend said is so hurtful and evil. She already apologized for that and admitted I never said such a thing. I also don't agree with Denise for posting things online. This problems should be resolved at home with family and friends and not through social media. I'm in the middle of a war zone while the only thing I wanted was to be happy, leave with peace and be a good father.”
The new father hopes to give his daughter a good life and spare her from the issue.
“My daughter doesn't deserve any of this b******t happening right now. If there is one side I will take is my daughter and as I promised myself I will give everything she needs from me as a dad. Thanks for understanding and sorry for dragging all of you into this. Wish things could have been different. Wish none of this would have happened. God bless us all and I pray for this storm to pass soon.”
