Robin Thicke Spends Time With Son Julian Amid Nasty Custody Battle With Ex Paula Patton

Dudes’ day out! Robin Thicke spent time with his son Julian on a sushi lunch date on Friday, February 10, amid an ongoing custody battle with his ex-wife Paula Patton.

“I love Sushi! Ahhhhhhhhh!” Thicke, 39, captioned an adorable photo of the 7-year-old holding his hands up in a mock scary gesture at the table, with a pair of chopsticks in one hand. In the photo, Julian wears oversize mirror sunglasses that belong to his singer dad.

Other earlier photos from the afternoon exchange show Patton, 41, giving Julian a big hug at a park before he reunites with his dad. In one particularly touching image, Thicke picks Julian up completely and embraces him a big bear hug.

Friday’s lunch outing was a supervised visit, per court orders; Thicke and Patton are currently still locked in a bitter custody battle, with the actress alleging that Thicke has physically abused Julian in the past.

In court documents previously obtained by Us Weekly, Thicke denied any wrongdoing and maintained: “On a very rare occasion and only as a last resort, I will use light spanking, but it is consistent with the law — open hand on the butt. This is the type of discipline to which Paula and I agreed during our marriage.”

Thicke also claimed that Patton’s decision to get the court involved stems from her anger in not being invited to his late father Alan Thicke’s funeral in December.
