The lengthy Devin Haney custody negotiations have finally produced a detailed agreement that could end one of boxing’s most public relationship battles.
Haney and his former fiancée, Leena Sayed, agreed to joint legal and physical custody of their daughter, Khrome, while also resolving the lawsuits, allegations, and social media disputes that followed their breakup.
Per TMZ Sports, Haney will pay Sayed $20,000 per month in child support. Court documents reportedly calculated that amount using Haney’s stated monthly earnings of $435,699. The agreement also requires Haney to have either a professional nanny or his mother present while Khrome is in his care until the child turns three.
The settlement goes far beyond money and parenting time. Haney agreed to withdraw his pending lawsuits against Sayed with prejudice, including the extortion claim he filed during the height of their legal conflict. The model also agreed to withdraw her pending request for a domestic violence restraining order.
The agreement reportedly includes a non disparagement clause preventing both parents from publicly insulting or attacking each other. Sayed was also required to publish the following statement: “the news reports that alleged that I said I was physically harmed by Devin were not accurate. I’m delighted that Devin and I are both focused on co-parenting our daughter.”
That statement marks a major shift from the accusations and counterclaims that once surrounded the former couple. Sayed requested a domestic violence restraining order in June 2025 and alleged that Haney had harmed and threatened her during their relationship. She claimed in court documents that he “pushed me while I was nine months pregnant causing me to fall on my tailbone because I would not give him my cell phone.”
Sayed also alleged, “After I fell, he grabbed my phone and threw it on the floor and shattered it.” A judge granted a temporary order and temporarily blocked Haney from visiting Khrome until a later court hearing. The claims remained allegations, and the new agreement calls for Sayed’s pending request to be withdrawn.
Long before the Devin Haney custody dispute reached a settlement, their private problems had already become public content. The influencer previously posted a message on Instagram in June 2025 that read, “I will never understand how anyone can have kids in this world and live every day like they don’t exist.”
Haney responded through his own Instagram Stories and denied being an absent father. He wrote, “Stop using kids to control men… Or as a come up! The kids don’t deserve that. I never acted like my kid didn’t exist.. I fight to see my baby!”
Haney also claimed Sayed prevented him from seeing their daughter unless money was involved. He added, “My child’s mothers won’t let me see my baby unless I threaten to cut her money off & I’m tired of having to pay to see my child every time. I am going about it the right way through the courts so that it’s organized.”
Sayed disputed his version of events in her own posts.
“I have never told Devin that he can’t see his child. It’s not my fault that he asks to see her once a month and he knows this.”
She also claimed she regularly sent him photos and videos and had never denied him access to Khrome.
The conflict later expanded into competing lawsuits. The athlete sued his ex in August 2025 and accused her of using false statements and threats of “reputational ruin” and “loss of rights to visit his daughter” to pressure him financially. His representative stated, “Devin will not be extorted, intimidated, or coerced by anyone. He will defend his name and his values against any false narratives or malicious attempts to undermine his character. Devin Haney stands firm in the truth.”
Sayed’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, rejected those accusations. Kaplan said his client was “only seeking to get what the law requires Mr. Haney to pay for child support.” He added, “I think Mr. Haney would be best served to make his case to the family court and not the court of social media.”
Haney filed another lawsuit weeks later involving luxury items he claimed were connected to their engagement. Haney sought the return of approximately $350,000 worth of handbags, jewelry, a watch, and other items he said were given to Sayed in anticipation of a wedding that never happened. Sayed’s attorney argued that the lawsuit was an effort to punish her over the restraining order dispute.
Their relationship had also attracted online attention before the custody fight. A jail call recorded in July 2022 between Sayed and Young Thug surfaced online in December 2024. During the conversation, Sayed said, “I don’t like anyone. No one’s like you. I don’t like them… I want you.”
Sayed later said the call occurred before she met Haney. She explained, “That video was before I met my bd…I would never talk to thug or any other man.” Haney did not directly address the recording.
By early 2026, the custody battle had shifted toward the question of whether either parent could post Khrome online. Sayed asked a judge to modify an agreement requiring both parents to approve social media photos of their daughter. She argued that Haney was withholding permission in an “unduly burdensome way.”
A judge denied that request. Judge Hank Goldberg ruled, “There is no argument as to why a one-year-old child would benefit from being exposed to the public and a subject of social media attention.” The newly finalized agreement continues requiring both parents to approve photos of Khrome before either person posts them.
By April 2026, Sayed was publicly describing the relationship as calmer.
“We have a great coparenting relationship now,” she admitted, followed by, “We’re good now.” She also ruled out a romantic reunion while emphasizing that they were communicating and focusing on Khrome.
This deal makes that truce official. The support payments may attract the biggest headlines, but the lasting part of the agreement is its attempt to remove their daughter from the public fight. After leaked calls, Instagram exchanges, competing allegations, luxury gift lawsuits, and arguments over who could post Khrome, both parents are now legally bound to keep the conflict out of the spotlight.
