Natasha Sesay, the pregnant mother of Andrew Tate’s child, asked a Miami federal court to release him from jail on Thursday, saying he is a loving father away from his online image. “He’s a great father to his children. Tate and his brother Tristan are seeking bail while they fight extradition to the UK.
Sesay, who is eight months pregnant, told the court she has known Tate for about 5½ years and that they already have an 8½-month-old child. “It’s a very different character from the person you see online versus the one I know personally,” Sesay said.
The family impact was also raised by the defense. Another lawyer, Joe McBride, later spoke about Tristan’s autistic daughter, saying: “Tristan Tate is a good man with an autistic daughter who cannot understand why Daddy doesn’t see her anymore. During Thursday’s hearing, their lawyers asked U.S. Magistrate Judge Lauren Louis to release them under strict conditions. These included surrendering their passports, posting bond and being monitored by authorities. Judge Louis did not rule immediately.
Andrew Tate, 39, and Tristan Tate, 38, have been held in federal custody in Miami since July 18. They are fighting extradition to the UK , where they face 59 criminal charges. The brothers therefore remained in custody as they wait for her written decision.
Lawyer Howard Srebnick told the court that Tristan Tate has “a child with special needs who depends on him.
Her evidence was given during the brothers’ hearing over whether they should remain in federal custody while their extradition case moves forward. Sesay said she is due to have another child with Tate in about a month.
