Aaron Hall’s relationship with Gloria Velez makes headlines in wake of lawsuit
X user @WickedNFine recently took to the social networking site to share an interview clip of Hall.
In the same, Hall spoke about his now ex-girlfriend and the mother of his child, Gloria Velez. Speaking about Valez, who was a minor when they first met, he recalled:
“I just grabbed her hand and went inside the hotel and gave it to her… I ain’t know she was a puppy… she was tall, big, blonde hair… I was like, “I’m getting that.””
Hall began dating model and dancer Gloria Valez after the death of his son Aaron. The model was 17 years old when she gave birth to the singer’s son Aaron Hall IV.
The couple went through a public breakup, with Valez getting custody of their song. She has also since accused Hall of being an irresponsible father who refused to financially contribute to her son’s future.
According to FamousStardum, Valez also accused Hall of physical abuse, which the latter had denied in the past.
