Alex Reid: I don’t even know where Chantelle and Dolly live
ALEX Reid says he doesn't even know where his baby daughter Dolly lives.
The cagefighter, who split from Dolly's mum Chantelle Houghton, last year says he only sees the eight-month-old at Chantelle's mum Vivienne’s house and so has no idea where her actual home is.
Alex, 37, said: "I only visit Dolly at Vivienne’s house – I do not even know where my daughter lives."
He made the shocking admission in an official statement released on his website yesterday.
Katie Price's ex-hubby was speaking out after former fiancée Chantelle, 29, told this week how his parents haven't seen Dolly recently.
He wrote: "Following recent articles in the media, I wish clarify and correct certain information and allegations that have been made, regarding my relationship and my family’s relationship with my daughter Dolly and my ex-partner, Chantelle Houghton...
"This week, it was claimed that my parents have not been to see Dolly this year. This is true.
"However, the facts are that I have asked on numerous occasions if my parents can come with me to see Dolly.
"The last time I asked was a few weeks ago. I was told that I would have to ask Chantelle’s Mother, Vivienne, as I only visit Dolly at Vivienne’s house – I do not even know where my daughter lives.
"My parents are desperate to see their granddaughter, despite the four hours travel time to get there and back, but do not want to impose on Vivienne’s hospitality.
"I already feel like I am intruding by visiting twice a week on my own to see my beautiful little girl."
Celebrity Big Brother star Alex, who has given numerous interviews since the couple split, also took a less than subtle swipe at Chantelle for speaking to the press.
He added: "I would like to add that whilst Chantelle and I are no longer in a relationship, she is a fantastic mother to Dolly and I understand that she has to ensure she makes money to provide for our child – and if this is by commenting on our relationship for the sake of our daughter then so be it.
"I have thought in recent weeks, that our relationship is more amicable.
This can only be good for Dolly and I hope this continues."
Chantelle hit back with her own statement this afternoon.
She said: "Alex has left me with no option but to defend the distorted claims he has made.
"I do not wish to go into specific detail about this - and I am sure he would not want me to - but Alex knows the very good reasons why I will not allow him to take Dolly to his parents' home and why I will only allow supervised visits...
"It's true that Alex does not know where I live and there is very good reason for this.
"Alex has (both in the past and currently) been closely involved with people who are of deep concern to me but most importantly, to the welfare of my daughter. That is my only concern.
"There is very good reason why Alex may only visit Dolly at my mum's house under my supervision.
"I have not stopped Alex's parents from visiting Dolly.
"I hope that you will respect that this subject is a sensitive matter and there are very good reasons why it is the hands of my legal team."
