She has been documenting their heartbreaking health battle since giving birth, and campaigning for more to be done to prevent SMA.
Zion recently defended his parenting role and vowed: Ill never abandon my children.
In a statement shared on Instagram, Zion addressed the situation and said: When I said I was out of my depth, I wasnt saying I was walking away from my children or abandoning my responsibilities as a father.
I was talking about the overwhelming reality of suddenly facing a rare and complex medical diagnosis that I knew nothing about. I was being honest.
Being out of my depth meant I was learning. It meant I was trying to understand.

Zion then went into detail about his split from Jesy, claiming she was the one who ended their relationship.
He continued: The end of a relationship does not mean the end of fatherhood.
Jesy made the decision to end our relationship and, while I respect that, it does not change the fact that I remain committed to my daughters in every way I possibly can.”
