"The family has not been notified of any such change in relationship status with Joycelyn Savage or Robert Sylvester Kelly," said attorney Gerald Griggs on behalf of the family in a statement sent to Fox News Digital on Monday.
"The family has serious concerns about the validity of such a relationship giving the proven allegations against Mr. Kelly," read the statement. "The family still seeks direct contact with their beloved daughter Joycelyn and hopes to make contact with her separate and apart from Robert Sylvester Kelly. They love their daughter and will continue to be in her life long after Mr. Kelly is not."
