Nick Gordon’s Baby Mother Speaks Out!!

Iggy Azalea has had her fair share of controversy and drama filled media headlines, now her ex Nick Gordon, baby mother, Keonna Green is speaking out about the couple’s failed relationship.

When it was revealed that Nick had gotten his baby’s mother knocked up again, Iggy didn’t have a clue until she found out like everyone else, on social media.  Keonna has now took to US Weekly to dish on the drama surrounding the former engaged couple including her attempts to reach out to Azalea and the re connection of her and Nick.

Via US Weekly:

US: Let’s talk about your relationship with Iggy.

KG: I found out through TMZ [in 2013] that they were dating. I inquired and there was denial. We had a rough patch from there. A couple of months into them being an item, she was moving into the house, so I called her. When I was dropping my son off, we met in the living room. I didn’t want my son around somebody I’m uncomfortable with. 

US: When did you reconnect romantically with Nick?

KG: It was last year, around September. We got caught up in the moment and it just happened. 

US: Did you consider telling Iggy?

KG: Yes. I tried to reach out to her; I never got a response.

US: How did you learn you were pregnant?

KG: I was having extreme back pain very early in the pregnancy, so I went to the doctor, who said, “There’s nothing wrong with your back, but you’re pregnant.” It was 200 percent Nick’s child. He’s always supportive, but he was in shock. With him being in a public relationship, he didn’t know how to handle it. 

US: How did you feel when he and Iggy broke up? Did you feel guilty?

KG: No, I didn’t feel guilty. … I’m not the reason they separated. She found out what everyone else found out, according to what I’ve been told.

US: What would you say to Iggy if you could say anything to her right now?

KG: I wish her a lifetime of success. … I mean, I’m definitely not going to apologize for being in love with a man who I have a lot of history with. I do wish her that kind of success and hope that she can get through this difficult time and she and Nick can move forward from this.

US: Where do you and Nick stand now?

KG: I’m giving him his space. On an intimate level, it has stopped. But I will definitely give it a chance if he comes back and says, “I’m really going to make this work this time.” Why not?
