The love drama between gospel singer Christiana Love and her yet-to-be-divorced husband, Pastor Love Hammond, will simply not end as the �telenovela� takes new twists and turns by the day. Pastor Love has come out to categorically deny claims that he was being hauled to an Accra court because he had refused to play the fatherly role in the life of a five-year-old child he had with another woman. But Pastor Love, who is yet to overcome the troubles he has with his musician wife Christiana Love, told News-One that the only child he had outside marriage, was a grown daughter, who was even older than Christiana Love. �Christiana knows I have a daughter before we got married and that is the only child I have outside marriage. It was before marriage and as I said she is an adult and older than Christiana so how can that adult daughter now be presented as a five-year-old boy,� Pastor Love said. The allegation was first put out by a UK-based journalist, Kwame Frimpong, in an interview with Happy FM, an Accra based radio station. Kwame Frimpong told Nyansaboakwa, the host of Happy FM morning show that Pastor Love was being dragged to court for failing to fulfill his fatherly responsibilities. The pastor said he had no idea where the allegation of having a five-year-old son was coming from and the motive of the persons spreading the story about him. �I leave them to God. I don�t want to talk about this matter again because anything I saw gets twisted by the same journalists who pushed me to talk. I would not sue the person making this allegation, I would just leave the journalists to God,� Pastor Love noted. Pastor Love and Christiana Love recently leveled wild allegations against each other and it became clear that their marriage was heading for the rocks. While Pastor Love alleged that Christiana was having a secret extramarital affair, Christiana accused her husband of rape, theft, incest, murder, idolatry and a litany of unprintable allegations. The pastor however concluded that the problems he was having with his wife were because of her mother, who had vowed to end the marriage. When the noise between man and wife died down, Pastor Love, in an interview with News One, denied that he was no longer the legally recognized husband of the award winning gospel musician, Christiana Love.
