Soul star Babyface has recalled the moment he had to tell his kids that he and their mother were separating in a touching new tune. The singer - real name Kenneth Edmonds - has dedicated Not Going Nowhere to the two children he fathered with his ex-wife Tracey, who is now romancing funnyman Eddie Murphy.

The hitmaker has always maintained the marriage split was amicable - but telling his sons Brandon and Dylan Michael that mom and dad were separating was a painful experience.

In the new song, Edmonds sings, "I'm still best of friends with your mom/Have no doubt that we'll still make time to hang out/I promise I won't let you down."
