Bam Margera says his estranged wife Nicole Boyd has cut off contact with their son Phoenix
Bam Margera says his estranged wife Nicole Boyd has cut off contact with their son Phoenix.
The lawyer for the 43-year-old TV personality, Peter W. Thompson, speaks with TMZ Wednesday, said Boyd, 39, has taken steps to have Margera sealed off from Phoenix for the past two months amid their pending lawsuits.
Boyd has not allowed Margera to communicate with his child via phone or FaceTime, Thompson said.
The last time the Viva La Bam star had contact with his child was on March 29 during a personal visit in California, Thompson said.
That interaction didn’t go well, as did Margera seen in a clip on the site arguing with Boyd at a restaurant in Burbank, California over time spent with the child.

The Jackass alum was arguing with Boyd in the clip, telling her, “Phoenix has a mind of its own. Let him have his own opinion!’
He was subsequently arrested in connection with public intoxication in the aftermath of the incident.
That was the last time Margera had any communication with his son, Thompson told the outlet.
Sources told the outlet that Margera has been unsuccessfully trying to deliver gifts he bought for his son for Christmas 2022, but Boyd will not deliver them through Margera or third parties he has offered to deliver them.
Boyd and Margera separated in 2021 and in September of that year Boyd went to court to seek full custody of their son.
Boyd filed for legal separation from Margera in Los Angeles last February, saying the cause was irreconcilable differences, and asked the court to award her spousal support, as well as legal and physical custody of their child.
Thompson told the outlet that Margera and Boyd had unsuccessfully tried to set up a routine where he would talk to his son via FaceTime, but it never worked out.
Margera’s camp said they find it “completely unreasonable” for Boyd not to record the FaceTime or phone calls he made because it poses no danger to the child, the outlet reported.

Margera has made headlines in recent months amid a flurry of legal issues, including an altercation with his brother, who accused him of drug use. He has denied the allegations
Margera complained to the court about the matter, and Boyd replied that she was fine with him visiting the child, provided they took place in California, where she lives, and he was sober.
Sources told the outlet that Margera continues to pay Boyd’s house and car expenses, and that he remains willing to work out an arrangement with Boyd and her attorneys for any level of communication.
Boyd’s attorney David Glass cited Margera’s behavior in his response to the outlet.
“From Nikki’s perspective, Bam’s continued instability is what makes it difficult to connect him and Phoenix,” Glass said. “But Nikki remains open to regular FaceTime communication, as long as Bam is not disturbed during the conversations, and as long as Bam doesn’t belittle Nikki during the conversations.”
