How Chris Brown Goes ‘Above & Beyond’ To ‘Connect’ With Son Aeko, 1, While Miles Apart

Chris Brown has two children, seven-year-old Royalty, and one-year-old Aeko, and according to a friend of the singer he goes above and beyond to connect with his children, especially Aeko who lives in Germany with his mother.

“Chris and Ammika don’t always see eye to eye, but Chris makes every intention to be in contact with his son and send him funny video messages and singing messages,” a source told HollywoodLife.com.

Brown hates to be away from his son and the source says the singer is gearing up for Aeko’s second birthday, “When Chris makes plans to do something, he always goes big. And he also loves surprises so if he has anything planned in the immediate future (as far as traveling to see him or sending pricey gifts) he’s definitely keeping it under wraps.”
