Keshia Knight Pulliam Responds To Husband Edward Hartwell Filing For Divorce, Asking For Paternity Test

Keisha Knight Pulliam has given a response after her husband Edward Hartwell filed for divorce and demanded a paternity test a week after she announced she was pregnant.

“I never cheated on him during my marriage,” Pulliam told Entertainment Tonight. “That’s not who I am. That’s not an issue. There’s no problem. I’ve never been unfaithful to my husband. This is his daughter.”

She went on to say that he was unfaithful earlier in their six month marriage, which caused her to consider leaving him.

“When earlier in my marriage I was faced with this, I was ready to leave,” she said. “I had divorce papers ready. I presented them to him. He begged … He said: ‘Please, I want my family,’ he said all the right things. Once I was pregnant I decided to give him another chance.”

Pulliam also said she was caught off guard by the separation.

“He left like it was any other day, said goodbye, I was still asleep in bed,” she said. “He texted me saying: ‘Hey, can I talk to you for a moment,’ … He was like: ‘You know, this isn’t working.’ All I heard was: ‘I filed for divorce this morning and I’m coming to get my stuff.’ ”

Pulliam says that her main concern is the baby. She plans to sell the couple’s current home after she gives birth.

When asked whether she still loves her ex, Pulliam said she loves “who he pretended to be.”

“I have no desire to continue to be married to him,” she said. “I’m doing this one interview, and I’m done. I’m not going to continue to revisit, regurgitate, but I’m not going to continue to allow people to tell blatant lies about me.”

“Despite all of this … I am grateful for my blessing, and that’s my little girl,” she said.
