A woman identifying herself as the mother of Jayden Adams's son has broken her silence following the Bafana Bafana star's shock death, posting an emotional tribute that revealed the pair had a strained relationship before he passed.

Jody Solomons, who goes by @jodysolomons24 on TikTok, shared photos of Jayden alongside their young son Jude and wrote candidly about the complicated dynamic they shared.

"There are moments in life that leave you completely speechless, and this is one of them. We didn't always see eye to eye. We had our differences, and life didn't always go the way we hoped. But despite everything, one thing remained true - you were Jude's father, and nothing will ever change that," she wrote.

A father's legacy for little Jude

Jude was born in August 2024 and will turn two years old next month, a milestone that Jody said breaks her heart knowing Jayden won't be there to witness it. She pledged to make sure their son grows up knowing his father's story.

She said their son was still too young to understand his father's passing, but promised that one day, when he asks about Jayden, she will share his story and ensure he knows the role his father played in his life.

Jody ended her tribute by choosing forgiveness over past pain, reflecting that life's fragility puts old disagreements into perspective and that she would rather hold on to peace than resentment.
