After finding out he had cheated, Katie revealed she was expecting Dwight’s baby.
Throughout the rest of her pregnancy, the exes had a rocky relationship.
Dwight visited his son in the hospital after he was born, but then made the decision not to be part of his life.
The footballer opened up about his lack of contact with Harvey back in 2009, as he said in an interview: “It is a combination of different things, one my time schedule and being based up in Manchester and a footballer on an everyday basis.

“Not sitting here and say I’m a total perfect father, I’ve made mistakes along the way and I would love to turn the clock back.”
Katie has been open about wanting Dwight to be more involved with Harvey’s life, and she’s previously said the door is always open.
In December last year, she shared a heartbreaking video of Harvey asking for his dad.
When Katie asked Harvey who he wanted to write a message to on Instagram, the 18-year-old replied: “Daddy Dwight.”

“I love you, Daddy Dwight. You look beautiful,” added Harvey when asked what he would say to him.
Katie captioned the moving clip: “Anyone who knows @Officialdwightyorke19 please get him to contact his son Harvey doesn’t deserve this, he sees his other son Tiger so I don’t understand! He does charity work for different kids charity yet doesn’t see or support his own son. I don’t get it!”
