Kelly Rowland's father wants her back

Singer Kelly Rowland's estranged father Christopher Lovett hopes to unite with her one day.

Rowland's mother Doris left him when the singer was just seven-years-old. He has not met her ever since.

"So many previous years have passed and I'm getting old. I just pray she comes back into my life before it's too late," radaronline.com quoted Lovett, 67, as saying.

Lovett's behaviour with Doris was not good and Rowland was a witness to that.

"I couldn't control it. I hoped I could make it up to her. But I'm still waiting for that day," said Lovett.
