Chris Eubank Relinquishes Children?
In a frenzy of rumors it seems as if former boxer, Chris Eubank , relinquished his two teenage children, Christopher and Sebastian in November of 2006. The adoption was apparently finalized a year ago this month. The children are living with Irene Hutton in Las Vegas.
Eubank’s ex-wife, Karron, gave her blessing to the adoption and still lives with their daughter, Emily, 14, and son, Joe, 11.
Hutton met Eubank in a hotel lobby in Paris where they became good friends. He then flew the boys to Las Vegas for a summer holiday. The boys loved their time there and after flying home decided, with Eubank, to return.
Karron sees the adoption as only a piece of paper to allow them to get their schooling.
“They are there to go to school, get their trade and come home. They are doing exceedingly well and a damn sight better than they would in England. We look at it as a piece of paperwork to sustain what my boys want to do, and that’s it.
I don’t usually provide commentary but I think the media needs to let this one well enough alone (and sorry if I added the fuel to the fire by posting this). Sounds to me as if Irene has done a lot more good than harm in this situation. The boys obviously need a good home and she had provided one.
The family obviously knew that the boys NEEDED to get out of their current situation and into a better home and she was able to provide for them in the US. But, the only way to do it is if she legally adopted them with their parents’ consent.
So, did their parents really relinquish them or are they doing something for the boys that needs to be done?
Both sons appear to have thrived in their new home. Chris Junior has won a place at a business college and is following in his father’s footsteps as a promising boxer.
Sebastian hopes to become an American Football player. He reportedly wrote to the U.S. family judge handling the case, saying: ‘I love my Mum a lot and know it was hard for her to make the decision, but she knows Irene will not do us wrong.
‘If I was still living with my Mum I would be spending too much time on the streets with the wrong company and doing the wrong things.’
Karron Eubank said: ‘My former husband is without a home. He travels a great deal visiting his friends and acquaintances. He calls the children occasionally.’
