According to Bravo, Martin’s relationship with her father was not always perfect, and she spoke about feeling abandoned by him during her earlier years during an episode of Real Housewives of Miami’s fourth season.
At the time, she revealed that he had been jailed on charges of money laundering, leaving her mother Sirel to raise her children as a single parent.
However, the reality television personality softened her stance about her father and began making attempts to reconcile with him after she welcomed her son Greyson.
‘I know this isn’t going to be easy. But I know I’ve gotta let this go if there’s any hopes of having, you know, a true bond with my dad,’ she stated.
