Bonilla tried to move back to France after the break-up, but Gobert wants her and their child to stay in the United States in the hope of finding an amicable co-parent’s situation when Minnesota’s season ends, TMZ Sports reported.
Bonilla and GOBERT released both statements as the collapse report fell.
“I review one of the most painful times of my life and feel isolated, far from my family and friends,” Bonilla wrote on her Instagram stories before deleting her account. “I considered Rudy the love of my life. I left everything for him. I gave him a child and poured my heart into our relationship.
“When everyone, criticized and offended him, I stood by him, always put him first and chose him. Despite how I have been treated, I choose to protect his name for the sake of my children. I have never been unfaithful to my children’s father.

“I am a mother and I must prioritize my health and well -being. Thank you for respecting my privacy in this challenging time.”
Gobert replied to what he called “inaccurate information.”
“Julia and I are currently in the painful process of redefining our fellow parenting relationships,” he wrote on Instagram. “Being a father is one of the most deep and meaningful experiences I want to live. It is one of my most important life purposes and will be forever.
“I am fully obliged to continue to support well -being for all the people that I am interested in. I ask everyone to refrain from speculating and respecting our privacy in these difficult times.”
