Charlotte Chilton, who was a participant in the British reality TV show The Traitors, has been in the news after giving birth to a daughter, Penelope, in October 2024.
Charlotte had claimed that singer Conor Maynard is the father of the child.
However, British singer Conor Maynard broke the news that a paternity test has confirmed that he was not the biological father of Penelope.
Charlotte had claimed that singer Conor Maynard was the father of the child a few months earlier and that it was the result of a one-night stand.
Charlotte, 32, had called the birth of Penelope a miracle because she had suffered seven miscarriages during IVF treatment with her ex.
Charlotte also alleged that Maynard ghosted her when he learned that she was pregnant and had since refused to acknowledge baby Penelope as his own.
Earlier, Maynard had announced that Charlotte was pregnant. However, after the birth of Penelope, the relationship soured between the couple, and they have distanced themselves from one another publicly.
Maynard had posted a story on his Instagram handle stating that he had taken a DNA test in the presence of legal experts, and it was confirmed that he is not the biological father of Penelope.
Maynard wrote:
“I took a paternity test regarding Charlotte Chilton’s baby girl, Penelope, in the presence of her legal representative. Today, I’ve received the test results, which confirm that I am not Penelope’s father. All I would ask is that people act with kindness in response to this news—there is a child at the heart of all of this, and that should not be forgotten. I wish Charlotte and her family all the best.
Conor.”
The couple had met through a mutual friend who was also an associate of Maynard and a contestant in the British reality TV show The Traitors. Charlotte’s ex-wife, Laura, stated that both she and Charlotte were still in a relationship when Charlotte became involved with Maynard.
Charlotte had also talked about how she was devastated and became a nervous wreck after Conor did not acknowledge that he was the father of the baby she was going to give birth to.
In an interview with OK! Magazine, she stated:
“There have been days where I’ve been in tears because I’m sitting here thinking, ‘I’ve got a daughter that looks f**king identical to you.’”
However, Conor has denied being the father of Penelope, and he has also received support from his siblings, Jack Maynard, 30, and Anna Maynard, 24, who commented on the singer’s Instagram post.
However, there has been no response from Charlotte to the latest claims by Conor.
