Aaron Chalmers’ ex, Talia Oatway, has revealed their little boy, Oakley<\/a>, may need a wheelchair in heartbreaking news. Little Oakley, three, was born with Apert Syndrome, a genetic disorder, which causes the skull, hands and foot bones to fuse together.<\/p>\n Sharing recent photos of her son, Talia, who split up from her Geordie Shore<\/a> star ex shortly after Oakley was born, admitted she ‘cries a lot’ as she gave an emotional update on the tot’s progress.<\/p>\n It comes after singer, Jessie J, updated fans on her health after being rushed to hospital with an infection<\/a> and fluid on her lungs, weeks after breast cancer surgery.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Paul O’Grady’s husband pays heartbreaking tribute to Lily Savage star on milestone day<\/a>READ MORE: Gary Numan’s wife hospitalised ahead of major surgery – ‘I’m a broken nightmare’<\/a> Responding to a follower on Instagram, who told Talia how amazing it was to see Oakley taking his first steps in a video his proud mum had shared online, the model said he may end up depending on a wheelchair, explaining: “Ah thank you, he will only walk outside for a very very short time (like a few minutes) at home he walks more.<\/p>\n “The bones on the bottom of his feet are becoming more prominent, which is where I need to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n “A lot of Apert children require feet surgery and depend on wheelchairs at times. This is due to the bones on the bottom of their feet causing pain up to their backs.”<\/p>\n Later on in the Q&A, Talia was told how “amazing”, but she replied: “Thank you, I honestly don’t think I’m strong. I am very emotional at times. I cry a lot especially in situations where I can’t get my point across or when I’m overwhelmed.<\/p>\n “I have tried to hold my emotions in as much as I can especially when the kids are around.”<\/p>\n Aaron and Talia welcomed Oakley into the world<\/a> in February 2022. The former couple also share Romeo, four, and Maddox, three.<\/p>\n They got together in 2017 but split just months after Oakley’s birth.<\/p>\n Aaron, who found fame on MTV’s Geordie Shore<\/a>, made his debut with the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship in April. Speaking to the Mirror<\/a> about how he struggled to cope after Oakley was born, he said: “Everything was going in the right direction, and then after my last fight in the November – a few days later my cousin died, who was literally my best mate, my brother. He passed away and I just went on a slippery slope. I started drinking f***ing really, really badly. Drinking badly.<\/p>\n “And then leading into 2024, my son\u2026 As I was trying to get myself back on the straight and narrow, my son went into hospital. It was meant to be a routine head surgery, and he was in a coma and he was in Liverpool fighting for his life for eight weeks, and I just didn\u2019t deal with it.”<\/p>\n Follow Mirror Celebs on TikTok<\/a>, Snapchat<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, Twitter<\/a>, Facebook<\/a>, YouTube<\/a> and Thread<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n![\"Oakley](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/0_Screenshot-2025-08-05-at-145547JPG.jpg\")
