A few years ago, Tyler’s father Butch was a big part of his life. Tyler had given his father another chance after some ups and downs battling his substance dependency, and it seemed that Butch was on the up and up.
Unfortunately, Butch relapsed not too long after that, and Tyler revealed that he distanced himself from his father because of the pain of trying to care for him.
“There have been reports I’ve been informed of stating that people think that I inferred that Butch died based on me sharing information regarding the fact that we don’t talk to him anymore,” Catelynn told Celebuzz “I want to be VERY clear: BUTCH IS ALIVE, very much so.”
“BUTCH IS NOT DEAD and has not passed away,” she reiterated, adding, “When we say we’re no longer in touch with him, sure, that’s a death of sorts as it’s a death of a relationship we worked long and hard to try to maintain. ”
“But to say Butch is dead – or that I implied that – couldn’t be further from the truth,” Catelynn told us.
“To clear this up ONCE AND FOR ALL- no, we have no relationship with Butch other than an occasional text. No, Butch is not dead. No, Butch has no relationship currently with our children. If Butch was ever to change – which he would have to do for himself – and prove that he could sustain that change for good, our door is always open to having communication with him. But, for now, this is where things stand.”
Meanwhile, the couple are preparing for the arrival of their daughter!
