Tyrese Buys His Daughter An Island For Her Birthday

The Hollywood star has revealed that he has bought his eight-year-old daughter a private island. Isn’t he the coolest dad or what? We are not talking about a beachside property, an actual island.  Speaking to Entertainment at the GQ Men of the Year party, Tyrese said, “I just bought my daughter an island. Can’t say [where]. She knows all about it and the island is called Love Island. I’ll be putting it up on my Facebook soon.”

Asked what he intended to get her for Christmas, Gibson remained tight-lipped: “She watches a lot of TV so I wouldn’t want to put it on air, because she will probably see it.” However, he did let slip that he recently gave Shayla her most lavish gift to date: her own island. “Can’t say where,” he said. “She knows all about it and the island is called Love Island. I’ll be putting it up on my Facebook soon.”

The 36-year-old singer and actor shares custody of his little girl with his ex-wife Norma. In February 2014, the former couple made headlines after they became embroiled in a bitter custody battle. “Norma Gibson, Tyrese’s ex-wife, denied him a court custodial order with their daughter Shayla on February 11, 2014,” his representative told Us Weekly in a statement at the time. “Tyrese arrived to pick up Shayla and was denied access by her mother. Mr Gibson called the police to the scene, and Mrs Gibson called TMZ.”
