Kelly Rowland’s estranged father wants in!

Kelly Rowland’s estranged father wants to reconnect with his famous daughter. Christopher Lovett, 65, hasn’t seen Kelly since she was seven which is when his life spiraled out of control because of a bad temper and drinking problem.

“I had heard she was doing well singing, but I didn’t know how well ­until I turned on the TV and saw her ­performing. I cried and cried, with ­sadness but also with pride at what a wonderful, ­talented young woman Kelly had grown into. I sat for the whole concert [North Carolina, 2000] in one of the cheap seats at the back with tears of joy and utter despair ­rolling down my face. I wrote a note and begged a security guard to pass it to her. It said, ‘Darling I have been looking for you. I am so proud of you and I love you so much and I just long to tell you that in ­person. Love Dad’. But no matter how much I begged the guard he would not believe I was her father.”
