Last December, Chyna and Tyga finalized their custody agreement over their son King Cairo. TMZ was the first to report the story, with the outlet reporting that a judge ordered Chyna and Tyga, born Michael Stevenson, to use a program to monitor their co-parenting communications.
The two were also to share joint and legal physical custody, including mutual decision-making on their son’s health, education and general welfare. King was to spend Monday through Friday with dad Tyga, and Friday through Monday with Chyna. Tyga was also not required to pay child support.
This past October, Chyna and Tyga celebrated their son’s 12th birthday with a series of photos on Instagram. The mom of two shared a carousel of photos of her son King Cairo on her Instagram, in which King could be seen playing soccer, posing with his mom and spending time with his 8-year-old sister Dream.
“Happy 12th Birthday to my son, @kingcairo! Mommy is so proud of you for being the best big brother, the smartest in school, and the best soccer player,” Chyna wrote in her caption.
“King, you can soar; there is nothing you can’t do. It is an honor that God chose me, Angela, to be your mother.”
That same day, Tyga posted a photo of the pre-teen on his Instagram Stories. The newly minted 12-year-old could be seen posing next to balloons as the proud dad wrote, “@kingcairo day today 🫶” across the image.
