His ex wants me to walk away?!

I met an amazing guy, we’ve really clicked, we’re just friends at the moment! He has strong feelings for me, he cares, he wants to help out however he can, he’s fun with my kids, he’s forever telling me I make him happy and he appreciates me and all we’ve been doing is hanging out, no next level business at all . So, I received an inbox from his ex/baby mama (They we’re forced to marry young, when she fell pregnant, they haven’t been divorced but they have been separated) who asked me to please leave him alone because she still loves him and wants to work things out with him for their kids sake. He holds nothing back & tells me whatever he feels I should know and has told me he doesn’t want that in life anymore .. So for the time being, I’ve told him I need a minute, after she’s basically begging me to think about her and the kids, if the shoe was on the other foot blah blah, but he’s reassured me that if I want to continue talking with him he’ll be waiting for the phone call cause he enjoys us.

I can only imagine soooo much baby mama drama and I have my own baby daddy to put up with I don’t need more 😂 I feel it’s kind of stupid for me to quit just for the sake of his ex wanting him but I just don’t know, I think she put in the guilt trip about their kids and their own little ‘family’ .
