Elikem Kumorzdie, a renowned Ghanaian fashion designer, has praised his former spouse, Pokello Nare, for her excellent care of their son. The couple tied the knot in 2016 but divorced two years later due to insurmountable issues. At the time of their separation, they had recently welcomed their son, Tristan, who Pokello took back to her homeland, Zimbabwe.
Despite their divorce, Elikem and Pokello have been successfully co-parenting and nurturing their son together.
Elikem emphasized that he maintains constant communication with their child when discussing their relationship.
In an interview with GhanaWebTV’s Talkertainment, Elikem commended Pokello for her exceptional parenting skills, underscoring that they are now in a more stable financial and emotional position. Consequently, he expressed that he no longer feels pressured to cover their son’s expenses and can allocate resources to other pursuits.
“Pokello is flexing small but it’s all good. We communicate about the boy and I am trying to get him into piano lessons. But for some reasons I am not getting through her too much to get the boy lessons. However, our communication is smooth.
“I am supposed to be sending some money every month but I think that they are in a better space now. Not to think that they are okay without me sending it though but I think that they are doing okay.
“I can also focus here and rather channel the energy into visiting the boy a lot. I want to see him twice a year or maybe once a year or travel him down with whoever can come with him and set him up.
“She is doing an amazing job with the boy and I always applaud her for it. Because if she isn’t taking care of him the way she is, it will put a lot of pressure on me. I really really do appreciate Pokello for looking out for me and our son.
“The last time I was in South Africa, I flew him in with Pokello’s personal assistant and we spent a whole week together. We did ziplining, balling, and so on. I love my boy. He is my first child and he broke the line for me with unconditional love,” he said.
