Aaron Chalmer’s ex Talia Oatway has hit out at the Geordie Shore star as she claimed she solo parents their disabled son.
The reality star, 38, welcomed Oakley, three, with Talia in 2022 and he was diagnosed with Apert Syndrome at birth.
The NHS describes Apert Syndrome as ‘a type of complex craniosynostosis that effects the skull, hands and feet,’ with bones fusing together before birth.
Talia regularly takes to social media to share updates on Oakley’s health, and on Friday she hit out at Aaron, as she claimed he has ‘zero interest’ in his son’s health.
The mother-of-four shares children Romeo, six, Maddox, four, and Oakley with Aaron as well as as daughter Siennah, ten, from a previous relationship.
Taking to her Instagram Story she explained: ‘I’m absolutely fuming, like fuming.

‘I do solo parent two of my children. Oakley’s here every single night, he has been for over a year and the fact that this person can just go online and start talking about his medical care which he has zero interest in.
‘He doesn’t attend any appointments, doesn’t attend hospital, is mind-blowing. Absolutely mindblowing.’
She continued: ‘It is all fake and all for social media purposes. I come on here and show the reality of what it’s like to solo parent two of my children as well as have another two children.
‘I have four and solo parent two of them and the stress I’m under with hospital appointments, nurses, operations, MDTs, it’s a lot and I’m doing it on my own, I’m literally doing it on my own and I’ve had enough.
‘That one person thinks it’s okay to puts my son’s health stuff online which I haven’t digested myself yet.
‘Fair enough if I do it, because I’m the one that’s parenting him and I’ve just had enough.
‘I’ve had it up to here with pretending that everything is okay and that I’m doing it with someone else, when I’m not.’
The Daily Mail have contacted Aaron’s representatives for comment.
She explained: ‘I do solo parent two of my children. Oakley’s here every single night, he has been for over a year and the fact that this person can just go online and start talking about his medical care which he has zero interest in’
Last month Talia gave fans an update on Oakley’s health after he was admitted to hospital with further health complications
Following Oakley’s birth in 2022, Aaron and Talia revealed their ‘little soldier’ would be ‘in and out of surgery for 18-24 months’ , with his mother staying by his side. Aaron and Talia split four months after the birth
Last month Talia gave fans an update on Oakley’s health after he was admitted to hospital with further health complications.
Sharing a snap with her son she penned: ‘It’s been 11 days since we got admitted to hospital, a transfer to another hospital, another 2 GAs, more training for mumma, endless tears and another diagnosis for my Oakley boy. Road to recovery now.’
It came after she revealed Oakley had been transferred to a children’s hospital to have another procedure on his head.
She wrote: ‘Unexpected hospital transfer to another children’s hospital yesterday. Oakley’s CT scan got looked into by both hospitals and he needs another procedure in Oakley’s head.
‘I find it crazy how many GAs Oakley has needed in the 3 years of his life. Every day he stands strong and gets on with anything that life throws at him.
‘I love you so much #apertsyndromeawareness #autismawareness.’
Following Oakley’s birth in 2022, Aaron and Talia revealed their ‘little soldier’ would be ‘in and out of surgery for 18-24 months’, with his mother staying by his side. Aaron and Talia split four months after the birth.
In August, Talia took part in an Instagram Q&A where she revealed their son may need a wheelchair soon and told how she often cries over his condition.
One fan wrote to her: ‘You are a great woman, a strong, very strong, woman.’, to which she replied: ‘Thank you, I honestly don’t think I’m strong. I am very emotional at times.
‘I cry a lot especially in situations where I can’t get my point across or when I’m overwhelmed.
‘I have tried to hold my emotions in as much as I can especially when the kids are around.’
One fan then told how Oakley was doing ‘amazing’ as he walked on his own in a recent social media post.
She then replied saying: ‘Ah thank you, he will only walk outside for a very very short time (like a few minutes) at home he walks more.
‘The bones on the bottom of his feet are becoming more prominent, which is where I need to keep an eye on. A lot of Apert children require feet surgery and depend on wheelchairs at times.
‘This is due to the bones on the bottom of their feet causing pain up to their backs. He really is doing amazing.’
What Is Apert Syndrome?
Apert syndrome is a genetic condition, caused by a mutation (change) on a specific gene.
The gene mutation can be passed on from parent to child but in many cases develops sporadically.
As we grow older, the sutures gradually fuse (stick) together, usually after all head growth has finished.
When a child has craniosynostosis, the sutures fuse before birth. It can affect one suture or several.
As children with Apert syndrome have a characteristic appearance, no specific diagnostic tests are needed.
Depending on the severity of the skull fusion, treatment soon after birth may be needed if pressure inside the head is raised, breathing problems are severe or there is a risk of eye damage.
