Bode Miller's custody battle provokes Olympic distraction fears Their antagonism is so deep that they cannot even agree on a name for the boy: he calls his son Nathaniel but she named him Samuel (Mr Miller's first name). Now a Manhattan appeal court has overturned that ruling, opening the way for Ms McKenna to seek the return of their son - who currently resides with Mr Miller and his new wife, Morgan Beck Miller, a pro-beach volleyball star and model. Mrs Miller joined him as he returned to the training slopes recently and played with the baby, allowing Mr Miller to bask in an unfamiliar family man image. "I have my own family over here and I feel really, really good about it," he said. Ms McKenna's lawyers argued that if the earlier court ruling was allowed to stand it meant that a pregnant woman would have to seek permission about where to live from a man with whom she had no current relationship, and that Ms McKenna was effectively accused of kidnapping her own child. But Mr Miller has responded that he had rights too as the father, that he always wanted to be involved in the child's upbringing and disputed Ms McKenna's claims about his earlier attitude. For the last three months, he has raised the boy with Mrs Miller, whom he married after a whirlwind romance while Ms McKenna was pregnant. Mrs Miller had a miscarriage in January, just a month before Ms McKenna gave birth. Which parent will win physical custody of the infant seems certain to be the subject of future litigation in California and New York. Ms McKenna has claimed that Mr Miller dumped her after becoming infatuated with Mrs Miller, that he told her he was "too busy" playing golf and going to sports games to be a father and that she should end the pregnancy. In her evidence, she released what she said were text messages from Mr Miller, including one that read: "U are going to do this on your own." The skier and his wife countered that they are the targets of a "misleading" campaign, that they wanted to support Ms McKenna and that a young child's privacy was being breached by the public fight. Mr Miller only returned to action last month after undergoing treatment for a year for a knee injury. He hopes the long recovery will give him a final chance for glory at Sochi in February. Mr Miller, who also has a five-year-old daughter from another relationship, was long known for his off-piste antics and outspoken comments, as well as a skiing style that some critics said verged on the reckless. He spelled out his sporting philosophy in his book Bode: Go Fast, Be Good, Have Fun, stating that his goal was not to win medals but to ski "as fast as the natural universe will allow."
