And yes, I can totally understand when starting a new relationship, she needs to think about her son first, because unless there is a concrete commitment there, her son is a constant, the guy isn’t. Any single parent needs to think about the potential impact on their children of bringing a new person into their life. That doesn’t mean that the kid needs to like it or agree with their parents choices, but if a potential partner would have a negative impact on your child’s life, then you should think twice. Again, she has a moral and legal responsibility to her child that she wouldn’t have towards a boyfriend, a husband or partner is different, but a boyfriend matters less significantly than her son.

And she’s a stranger to me, but apparently you know something the rest of us don’t, like why her relationships have broken up, since you seem to know its because of Ryder. I also don’t see him as clingy, he’s a pretty normal looking 4 year old to me. And since we only see him when paparazzi are lurking, it’s pretty difficult to make any judgement.
