It’s been about 2 months since little Ella Grace made her grand entrance into this world. Unfortunately it’s been almost a year that her parents, Keshia Knight- Pulliam and her soon-to-be-ex husband, retired NFL player Ed Hartwell, have been beefin’ about any-and-everything pertaining to Ella, or their marriage disagreements.

Most of us know their history by now, but for anyone who’s been sleep for the past year, or so, let us catch you up to speed real quick: 1. Keshia and Ed got married; 2. They start arguing within months and Ed moves out; 3. Keshia gets pregnant; 4. Ed demands paternity test; 5. Ed files for divorce; 6. They blast each other in the media; 7. Keshia gives birth to Ella Grace; 8. They take paternity test; 9. Ed be the pappy…

And here we are now. Word on the Old School curb is that Ed just filed new court docs, asking a judge to issue joint custody to both he and Keshia. Nope, hell did NOT freeze over. Ed is just doing what he said he would months ago if Ella proved to be his baby, and that is- be a dad to her and a permanent fixture in her life.

This time, he even called up his ex-wife/mother of their son, reality star Lisa Wu, to help him with the case. See details below…

Via TMZ: Keshia Knight Pulliam’s ex wants joint custody of their baby girl and has a bunch of people vouching for him … including his ex-wife. It appears from legal docs Keshia doesn’t want Ed Hartwell near their 2-month-old daughter. She claims he plotted to trigger a miscarriage during her pregnancy, something he denied.

Hartwell just filed new docs in the divorce case, asking for joint custody of Ella Grace.
He submitted a letter from “RHOA” star Lisa Wu — his ex wife — singing his praises as a great dad and community man. Lisa says, “I am never worried about my child when he is with his dad, I know his dad will do everything within his power to love, protect and provide for EJ while he is not with me.” Lisa goes on, “I am positive that [Hartwell] will put his daughter’s best interest first as he has shown with my children.” Ed says in the docs he’s more than willing to pay child support.

It’s an understatement to say that this is a big turnaround from the previous stories we’ve covered on Ed and Keshia- well, sort of at least. As you can see, Keshia reportedly still is not trying to have Ed in their child’s life. After going through all of the drama she’s gone through with him- they both had their faults in it- she’s probably just trying to eliminate the madness from she and Ella’s world.

However, Lisa Wu did an admirable thing for her ex-husband Ed, by putting their differences to the side and speaking up for his parenting skills (although some online commenters suspect Lisa’s help was actually revenge on her former ‘friendly acquaintance,’ Keshia, marrying her ex, Ed…hopefully that’s not the case). Now if only Ed and Keshia can somehow get on an amicable page for baby Ella Grace, everything will be fine. As of right now though, Keshia Knight Pulliam and Ed Hartwell are not ready to start singing ‘Kum-ba-yah’ just yet. This ain’t the Cosby Show, this is real life drama. Good luck to both of them.
