The paternity test results are in!
For those who haven’t been keeping up, The Bachelor alum Clayton Echard was sued by an unnamed 33-year-old podcast host in Arizona last month. For what, you may ask? The woman claimed she was pregnant with his twins after they had a one-night stand back in May of this year! When she told Clayton about the pregnancy, he didn’t believe he was the father as they allegedly “only had oral sex.”

The alleged soon-to-be mom then accused him of refusing multiple times to take a paternity test. And when they had one scheduled for August 23, the 30-year-old star never showed up for it. Wow. He has since denied the allegations, even showing receipts of him paying to take a paternity test on September 27. Clayton also accused the woman of making “nearly identical accusations” against “other individuals,” with those cases still being “publicly accessible and active.”
A wild situation, right? But after patiently waiting for the test results to come back, Clayton finally has an answer to this whole ordeal… He is NOT the father after all! He took to Instagram on Friday to share a video of himself ecstatically sharing the big announcement to his followers. Clayton said:
“Listen, it’s Friday and you know what we need on a Friday? We need some good news and who has got the good news today? I got the good news today. What’s that good news, Clayton? The test results came back early, and they said little to no fetal DNA present. Let’s go baby! We knew, I knew that was going to happen, and thankfully five months of torture can finally be put to rest.”
Referencing the allegations he also cheated on his ex-girlfriend Susie Evans last year, Clayton added:
“Two false accusations in two years — I really don’t want to look ahead to next year and see what’s going to happen. I think two false accusations in a lifetime is enough. Thank you all for the support, love. This has been a trying time, but I learned so much about myself and now back to the regularly scheduled program.”
Clayton seems pretty giddy about the news. We mean, he literally danced and shimmied at one point in the video! Lolz! See the clip (below):
