Jesse Williams has voiced new concerns in a custody filing, alleging that his ex-wife, Aryn Drake-Lee, is damaging his relationship with their children by interfering with his communication and involvement. He claims that Drake-Lee has limited his ability to stay in regular contact with their kids, Sadie and Maceo, which has made maintaining a meaningful connection increasingly difficult.
Williams has expressed fears about how these disruptions might affect his bond with the children in the long run, citing the challenges of co-parenting under such circumstances. The actor, famous for his role on “Grey’s Anatomy,” has been engaged in a contentious custody battle with Drake-Lee since their 2017 divorce, and this latest filing highlights the ongoing tension between the two.
In the filing, Williams insists that he is committed to being an active father but feels that Drake-Lee’s actions have created serious barriers to achieving that goal. Both have previously commented on the struggles they’ve faced with co-parenting, but this recent move underscores the deepening conflict between them.
As the custody fight continues, Williams is seeking legal remedies to ensure his role in his children’s lives remains strong and uninterrupted.
