A source close to Deighton, 26, told RadarOnline.com Online.com: “The whole thing is a joke. Michelle is a responsible mom who looks after her daughter and works 40 hours per week at a child care center in Virginia. Jonny is asking her to pay for the legal fees!

“She has not denied Jonny or his family access to Piper and they now only live 15 minutes away from him. All she has insisted is that she is present when he sees their daughter because she fears that he is not responsible enough.

“While she was working he was not looking after Piper properly and he would spend time on his computer or on the phone to his friends while putting the little girl in front of the television. Michelle just outgrew the relationship and decided to call it quits because Jonny could not get a proper job and be responsible.

"In the court papers he sent to Michelle he asked for full custody of Piper which is just not going to happen – Michelle does not want any drama but she has hired her own lawyer now.

"Neither has formally filed for divorce but the relationship is definitely over because she knows that Jonny will not change. And now, Jonny is hurting because he was rejected, but he blew all his chances with Michelle.”
