In February of this year, Nikki filed for divorce from Bam, citing his lack of sobriety during a visit with their son as one of the reasons. She has petitioned for both legal and physical custody of their child Phoenix. However, she has also expressed that Bam should be granted supervised visitation rights with their son in the Los Angeles region.

Bam's Drastic Step

To display his devotion to his son, Bam took a drastic step last week by getting his son's name inked on his face in Arabic. He shared a picture of the tattoo on his Instagram, stating that he misses his son Phoenix and that the tattoo is a reminder to his estranged wife Nikki that she is breaking his heart by not allowing him to see his child.
