Jennifer Hudson has worked out a temporary custody agreement with David Otunga, the father of her 8 year old son, David Jr. According to TMZ:
David has said he’s been his son’s primary caregiver since birth because of Jennifer’s travel schedule. Apparently they both now acknowledge that he will again become the primary custodial parent, at least until a formal custody agreement is worked out.
We’re also told Jennifer also voluntarily dropped her order of protection, which prohibited David from having contact with their son or her.
The American Idol alum and The Voice coach had requested and received a protective order against Otunga, claiming he exhibited “aggressive, threatening and harassing behavior toward me.” She said, “I am now living in fear of further action David might take.”.
In another update from TMZ, with appears to come from Jennifer’s people, the singer agreed to let Otunga see their son again, but only because he’s out of her house and no longer a physical threat to her.
She never accused Otunga of physically threatening their child. As we reported, Otunga’s been removed from their home, and as a result, we’re told Jennifer’s satisfied as the emotional risk to their son is no longer present.
As for who’s been the child’s primary caregiver — our Jennifer sources say she’s always made mothering her top priority, even while working to support the family.
Sources on her side stress Otunga hasn’t won anything. The judge hasn’t ruled on custody yet, and neither parent has been deemed “primary” caregiver.
