The star was dressed casually in a navy blue hoodie with matching white joggers and sneakers. His sporty look was completed with a gold watch and shades. The little boy was dressed in a matching green hoodie and trousers with blue Nike shoes.

In 2019, the "Lately" singer filed a complaint against his ex-wife for violating the terms of their joint custody.

In 2018, the actor was in a custody battle with his ex-wife Norma Gibson over their daughter Shayla. During their long custody battle, Norma accused Gibson of allegedly hitting their child and requested a restraining order.

However, her claims were rejected by the court. A judge also ruled in Gibson's favor, putting a limit on the child support costs Norma could bill the actor for. The ruling excluded Gibson from paying for child care costs incurred, like babysitting, whenever his ex-wife was not working.

Despite the minor victory, the legal battle continued. In 2019, the "Lately" singer filed a complaint against his ex-wife for violating the terms of their joint custody when she allowed their daughter to sleep over at a friend's place instead of Shayla staying with him.

Norma is legally obligated to let Gibson spend time with their daughter when she was unavailable and according to the actor, this was her second violation as he discovered she had posted pictures of Shayla on social media. They had a previous agreement against it.

Amid the dispute, the "Baby Boy" actor welcomed his second daughter with his wife Samantha Lee Gibson on October 1, 2018. The 41-year-old announced the news with a picture of the baby's footprints on Instagram.

He revealed his daughter's name in the caption as Soraya Lee Gibson and thanked God for his blessings. Samantha announced she was expecting in April and according to the actor, he reacted to the news excitedly.
