She’d be desperate to find a resolution that didn’t involve the law. The boys have been arguing about it too, it’s really caused the family hell.”Back in 2012, Jeff, who married PR executive Kate Dwyer in 2018, accused Jade’s mum of creating a “them and us” situation, and admitted that her seeing and spending time with Freddy and Bobby came at a “slight cost”.He also referred to the “numerous pitfalls and stumbling blocks” in the way of him being able to maintain a healthy and happy relationship with Jackiey after he and Jade split, but also heartbreakingly said “the boys love her so much and I truly believe she makes them feel closer to their mum than I ever could.”Jeff reportedly wants to stop contact between Jackiey and his youngest son Freddy(Image: Instagram/jeffbrazier)In 2015, Jackiey admitted she wished she had been a “better mum” to Jade, and vowed to step up for her grandsons. In an open letter to her late daughter, who died on Mother’s Day in 2009, she wrote: “I want to be there for the boys, and I will never let them forget you. You were an amazing mum. I wish I could have been more like you.”In 2021, former Strictly sensation Bobby revealed he was back in touch with Jackiey, who has previously admitted a history of drug abuse, after “too long”.On a Q&A on his social media, the young model responded to a question about his relationship with his nan, saying: “Yeah. I didn’t see her for ages for way too long. But I went to see her twice recently. And honestly if there’s one woman you shouldn’t underestimate it’s my nan. Honestly, she’s like a wizard! It’s nuts.”READ MORE: Primark’s £25 suitcase with ‘genius’ feature is ‘ideal for Ryanair flights’Like this story?
