The 71-year-old, who recently underwent prostate cancer surgery, expressed his understanding of the challenges his health condition posed and, with an empathetic approach, disclosed that he had given Mia his approval to explore other avenues to "satisfy" her needs. Gordon candidly stated that he acknowledged a time might come when he couldn't fulfill all of her requirements.


However, he went on to reveal that despite granting her this freedom, he felt perturbed by Mia's alleged secretive behavior, characterized by deception and frequent alterations of her accounts of the situation.


The estranged couple parted ways in September after an 11-year marriage, during which they welcomed two children, Jeremiah, 7, and Juliana, 5. Both Mia and Gordon, who tied the knot in 2012, have one child from previous relationships. Gordon emphasized his plea for transparency from Mia, urging her not to provide reasons for doubts while ensuring their children remained uninvolved in their marital issues.


Gordon claimed to have allowed Mia to see someone discreetly, emphasizing the need for privacy, especially concerning their children. However, he expressed his disappointment at discovering phone call records between Mia and her alleged new partner, particularly during late hours and times when he was away from home.


He asserted that he had been aware of her actions, revealing that he no longer had the same financial resources as before, implying a potential link between their separation and his financial situation. Gordon claimed that Mia has moved on to someone who possesses greater financial means.

According to Gordon, Mia disclosed plans to purchase a house and establish businesses with her unidentified partner. Nevertheless, he suggested that her motivation in this new relationship might be driven by financial gain rather than love, indicating his belief that she sought an "upgrade."


Gordon expressed his desire to maintain limited contact with Mia, primarily focused on co-parenting for the sake of their children. He implied that any reconciliation, if it were to happen, would only be considered if it served the children's best interests and not out of romantic affection.
