My guy... You've already tried this method and guess what? He thought your were being disingenuous and manipulative and, well, he clocked your tea because you WERE. WHAT is going to make him think this isn't just more of the same?? Talk to him, tell him you miss him and like him and you want to be there for him, and that you're sorry for not understanding your feelings sooner and that you feel jealous of his (non existent) baby mama lmao.
