But she did share that she’s "currently in the 'anger phase,'” adding, “I’m so angry with him.”

Kelsey shared that Kobe was aware that her father had passed away, saying: "She knows. We've talked about it. And we are working through it."

"I just want to be there when the waves come," said Kelsey.

As for the rest of her family, Kelsey said she had told them to proceed as normal "and I'll do the rest." She added that she thinks "keeping everything consistent will help."

Kelsey said Kobe would get anything she asked for because it was a “yes day.”

She also shared a few stories on her Instagram that showed Kobe playing in her playroom with her mom, stepdad Curtis Woods, and her baby sister.

The mother-of-five has previously opened up with her followers about her experience with having to share custody of Kobe with her ex.

The two had had difficulty co-parenting in the past. But she recently shared that they had improved their relationship and were both prioritizing what’s best for their daughter.

In a video from September, Kelsey revealed that she and Kobe’s dad were on better terms. She also said that even though the time her daughter spent with her dad was limited Kobe always left his house with positive stories.

Kelsey and her ex had plans to change their custody agreement in February 2024.

The U.S. Sun has reached out to Kelsey for comment but has received no response as of publication.
