Robin Thicke has shared the first Instagram photo taken with the son his ex-wife accused him of abusing since settling a bitter custody dispute with the boy’s mother.
He is on holiday in Hawaii with seven-year-old Julian and his girlfriend April Love Geary, 22, who earlier this week announced that she is pregnant with the producer’s second child.
Thicke, 40, captioned the image ‘happy days’ – and he has good reason to smile after settling his long-running feud with ex-wife Paula Patton.
The court battle at one point saw the producer slapped with a restraining order when his ex-wife claimed that he had abused their child. He was later cleared of the allegations.
Trio: Robin Thicke posted an Instagram photo on Saturday of himself on a Hawaiian beach with his girlfriend April Love Geary and his son Julian
Up in the air: Robin’s posted an Instagram video on the same day of him and his son on a helicopter ride with a view of the beach and ocean stretching below the aircraft
The other picture: ‘Happy Days!’ Robin’s captioned his photo, and April’s posted a similar photo of her and Robin in the same outfits on the same towel on the beach – but without Julian
The court battle at one point saw the producer slapped with a restraining order when his ex-wife Paula Patton, pictured, claimed that he had abused their child. He was later cleared of the allegations
Following months of negotiations, legal documents obtained by DailyMail.com on Friday revealed that the pair had agreed to split custody – with neither parent allowed to talk negatively about the other.
They all must attend family therapy until at least December. Julian also has to attend therapy on his own and the former couple must split the cost of the sessions.
The documents were signed on July 24 – weeks before Thicke announced that he is expecting a baby with his girlfriend of two years April. The future child is not mentioned in the custody agreement.
The agreement states Thicke and Patton will alternate with who has Julian during the holidays depending if it is an even or an odd year.
Spellbinding: He then posted an Instagram photo of an aerial view of the coastline he’d been flying over, and he’s effervesced in the caption to it that ‘It’s A Beautiful World!’
So sweet: April’s Instagram Story has shown her by a stream posing with her shirtless beau, standing in front of him where her slender figure concealed his paunch
Emphasis: She’s also posed bikini-clad for her Instagram Story sitting cross-legged alfresco, her hands strategically placed to frame the model’s barely perceptible baby bump
In the Instagram picture, the soon-to-be-father-of-two’s short-sleeved shirt, which had black spots speckled across a white background, had got several of its buttons left undone over his chest.
Multiple necklaces dangled in the gap, and he had accessorised further with a blue and white Dodgers cap and a pair of aviator sunglasses, smiling widely for the camera.
Meanwhile, April wore a navy bikini and arced her enviably svelte legs over the sand.
She posted a similar photo of her and Robin in the same outfits on the same towel on the beach – but without Julian.
Thicke also posted an Instagram video on the same day of him and his son on a helicopter ride with a view of the beach and ocean stretching below the aircraft.
He and Paula, who were teenage sweethearts, married in 2005.
After they separated in February 2014, he waged a public campaign to win her over that included an album with a song called Get Her Back.
Regardless, she filed that October for a divorce that was eventually finalised in March of the following year.
