Singer Conor Maynard has publicly stated that he is not the father of reality TV star Charlotte Chilton’s baby, following the results of a paternity test.
Charlotte, 32, who gained fame on the second season of The Traitors, previously claimed that Maynard was the father of her child after a one-night encounter. She described the pregnancy as a “miracle” following multiple miscarriages and unsuccessful IVF attempts with her former wife. However, according to Maynard, a recent DNA test has disproved the claim.
The singer took to social media to share his statement, revealing that he took the test in the presence of Charlotte’s legal representative and had now received the results confirming he is not the father. He expressed relief that the speculation could finally be put to rest and urged people to respond with kindness, emphasizing that a child remains at the heart of the matter.
Charlotte had previously spoken about the emotional and financial challenges of raising her daughter alone. She stated that she had reached out to Maynard after the birth, believing he had the right to know, but had received no response. Throughout her pregnancy and afterward, she remained vocal about his alleged lack of involvement.
Additionally, Charlotte opened up about her struggles as a single mother, highlighting the financial difficulties of launching her own recruitment consultancy while caring for her newborn. She shared that she often prioritizes her child’s needs over her own and relies on support from family and friends.
Her claims had sparked debate, especially given her assertions that her daughter strongly resembles Maynard. She also mentioned that she would not deny her child the opportunity to have a relationship with him if he chose to be involved in the future.
Maynard’s statement comes after a period of social media silence, which he previously attributed to struggles with anxiety. Following his recent post, his siblings Jack and Anna, who is in a relationship with The Traitors winner Harry Clark, publicly showed their support.
The situation remains tense, with Charlotte standing by her past claims despite the test results. She has expressed frustration over the emotional and financial toll the dispute has taken, vowing to continue advocating for women facing similar situations. Meanwhile, Maynard has stated that he wishes Charlotte and her family the best as he moves forward from the controversy.
