🦊 Fox Speaks Out

Actor‑turned‑broadcaster Laurence Fox, 45, says he “won’t stay quiet” after ex‑wife Billie Piper, 41, told British Vogue that sharing custody with him is “incredibly challenging.” Posting on X (formerly Twitter), Fox called her remarks “outright lies,” adding:

“Not every marriage lasts, but I’ve always put our boys first. They deserve both parents, and I want Billie to have a calm family life—something she seems to keep missing.”

He stressed that, although imperfect, he has “never stopped turning up” for sons Winston, 16, and Eugene, 11. 👨‍👦‍👦

⚖️ Court Battles & Custody

Fox claims Billie has taken him to court “over a dozen times” since their 2016 divorce, even bringing in social services. According to him, the current arrangement still gives the children “an even split” between both households. 🏠↔️🏠



🎤 Billie’s View

In her Vogue interview, Piper described rigid routines that help the boys feel safe and keep their lives private:

“It’s hard work. I protect their space so they can figure out who they are.”

She also co‑parents daughter Tallulah, 5, with ex‑partner Johnny Lloyd. Piper admitted the public interest can feel relentless:

“I try to ignore outside opinions, yet people still want to talk about it. Sometimes I have to ask them to stop.”


🌱 Lessons in Resilience

Despite the tension, Billie says the ordeal has shown her “how strong I really am,” teaching her to focus only on what she can control. Fox, meanwhile, insists his goal remains unchanged: to be “a present, caring dad.”



Takeaway ✨

Both parents agree on one point: their children’s well‑being comes first. How they reach that goal—and whether public sparring helps or hurts—remains an ongoing drama.
