Devastating new blow for Sydney tradie Dan Gaut's heartbreaking tug of love ... trends now
A proud father has been dealt a fresh blow in his bid to gain custody of his newborn daughter after his former girlfriend reneged on a deal to hand her over to him.
Carpenter Dan Gaut, from Sydney’s north, was thrilled about the impending birth until his pregnant girlfriend, Liv, suddenly returned to the US without him.
She has since rekindled a relationship with a former partner and announced she would be putting the baby up for adoption.
But Mr Gaut's ex agreed to legally give the child over to him permanently if he flew over to be with her during or shortly after the birth in March.
Now the tradie has revealed his ex has had a gut-wrenching change of heart and decided to keep baby Ana instead.
‘I feel heartbroken and empty as I’m forced to leave America alone,’ Mr Gaut revealed in an emotional Instagram post.
