13-year-old dad is not actually the dad
Now ain't that a bummer? Of course, you remember Alfie, and the other guys. Now the results are in: Babyfaced teen is not the father of little Maisie:
A DNA test has revealed that 'dad at 13' Alfie is NOT the father of baby Maisie.
The story caused a media storm last month when teenage mum Chantelle gave birth to the little girl and claimed that babyfaced Alfie was the daddy.
But six other teenagers from Eastbourne in England where the couple live then came forward to claim that THEY might be the baby's father.
According to the 'Mirror', his mum Nicole (43) said at the time: “It had not even crossed Alfie’s mind whether Chantelle had not been faithful to him. He’s absolutely devastated that these lads say they slept with her.”
His world seems to have fallen apart – he has reportedly been with Chantelle for two years, although the apparent evidence that she has been cheating on him may change that.
