Professional boxer Devin Haney secured a legal victory this week when a Los Angeles judge denied his ex-fiancée’s request to post images of their 1-year-old daughter on social media without his approval via TMZ Sports.
Judge Hank Goldberg ruled in favor of upholding the couple’s existing parenting agreement, which prohibits such posts to protect the child’s privacy. The decision came after Leena Sayed, Haney’s former fiancée and the child’s mother, filed a motion to modify the agreement.
In his ruling, Goldberg emphasized that there is no clear benefit for a young child to be exposed to public attention on social media. “Public culture is replete with stories of children of celebrity parents who have been harmed by the public spotlight,” the judge wrote, noting that celebrity parents often seek to shield their offspring from such exposure.
Haney’s legal team opposed the motion, arguing that Sayed’s online career on platforms like OnlyFans and Instagram involves content that could attract followers not focused on her role as a mother. They contended this justified maintaining restrictions to safeguard the child, named Khrome.
The judge clarified that the agreement does not ban all references to the child online. Parents can share descriptions of events, such as a birthday party, or post photos that keep the child out of frame.
The case stems from a contentious relationship between Haney, a prominent lightweight boxer, and Sayed. The pair, who share custody of Khrome, have been embroiled in multiple legal disputes. Sayed previously obtained a restraining order against Haney, alleging he pushed her while she was pregnant. Haney, in turn, has sued Sayed to recover $350,000 in gifts and accused her of extortion related to their daughter.
Both parties were represented by counsel, and the court found no evidence that the original parenting agreement was entered under duress or undue influence.
Neither Haney nor Sayed immediately responded to requests for comment on the ruling.
This decision highlights ongoing tensions in celebrity custody battles, where social media privacy often becomes a flashpoint amid public scrutiny.
