Mother admits to cheating, leaving father in doubt
André Williams, STAR Writer
David Spence, 24, told THE STAR during our paternity feature interview that he is eager to know if a three-year-old boy is rightfully his, in light of recent revelations by his former lover 30-year-old Angella Black.
Spence and Black are now bitter towards each other after spending more than six years together.
Spence, a painter, and Black, a cashier, met each other in 2007 in Spanish Town, St Catherine.
They were together for three years before Angella got pregnant with a son, which the two have been parenting before their relationship took a turn for the worse. So bad has the relationship become that Spence wants a DNA to prove whether or not the child belongs to him.
Both levelled accusations at each other and even swore they would never get back together.
THE STAR was compelled and asked both if a positive DNA result could change that thought.
Black: "Dem say wah no dead nuh dash it weh, and this relationship is dead over."
Spence: "We are over ... She tell lies and everything is now in the light ... I just want the truth about this child and live my life."
Both were asked what they wanted the result to be:
Black: "Mi know is his child so the result can't say otherwise."
Spence: "She confessed to sleeping with a 'friend' so anything is possible."
THE STAR asked the two, what would happen if the result was positive or negative.
Black: "Honestly, I don't know what will happen if the child is not his ... but then again, I am sure it's his child so it will be positive."
Spence: "If the result is positive I would continue to take care of my son ... If it negative ... so many years of my life gone down the drain ... it would be sad and I would be devastated ... but a nuh my fault."
THE STAR was told that the child is registered in Spence's name.
Spence told THE STAR that ever since Black confessed to sleeping with her 'friend' he has lost total confidence in this relationship.
Spence: "I have doubts because if she had sex once she can do it twice, and then this child may not be mine ... I thought she would never lie to me until things came to light."
Black: "I was being honest and I told him the truth ... I made a mistake once and I thought I did the right thing and confessed, but things went downhill from there ..."
The community they are from is not aware of their dilemma.
Spence: "I don't think anybody know because I have never heard it but you know how we Jamaicans stay already ... see and blind hear and deaf."
Black: "I am a very private person so I didn't say anything to anybody so I don't think it is out there."
The former lovers told THE STAR that the child in question resembles Black's side of the family.
Black: "He looks like my grandfather in a way."
Spence: "He is growing but I think he looks like her grandfather and he has their complexion."
