Celebrity paternity questions run the whole range from common to complex. But one thing you can be sure of is that they attract a more than their fair share of attention. Don’t be mislead by overblown coverage by the press, asking for a paternity test when there is any doubt has become the norm. Here are 6 celebrity test cases.
Jude Law and Samantha Burke: She says that the baby is his, but rumor has it Jude doesn’t want to meet the child until he’s seen the results of a paternity test. According to a source, “If [Jude] is the father he will meet his obligations to the child. He’s hoping for an early chance to establish that he is genuinely her dad.” Interesting note: Jude allegedly paid for Burke’s antenatal care as a kind gesture—not as admittance to fatherhood.
Keanu Reeves and Who??: He recently agreed to take a paternity test to clear his name after a Canadian woman claimed he fathered her four kids over a period of many years, in total secrecy, across thousands of miles and who are all adults now. She asked Reeves to take a DNA test and has asked for $150,000 a month in child support, retroactive from 1988, as well as $3 million per month in spousal support. Any guesses as to the outcome of the test?
Eddie Murphy and Melanie Brown: He refused to take a paternity test for months and didn’t contact Scary Spice after she birthed her baby, Angel, in April. In June, the results came back positive. Poor Scary Spice. First she gets the bad nickname and then she screws around with a bad dad!
Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva: He asked his girlfriend to get a DNA test when the baby is born. The PR machines are all saying that it wasn’t his idea and that his previous offspring encouraged the decision—probably since they’ll be divvying up his fortune. Also rumored is that he was convinced to get the test by some of his ‘closest friends in his church’. Way to go Mel, why take responsibility for the decision when you can point to the kids and your church!
Jamie Lynn Spears and Casey Aldridge: She was pregnant at 16 and her 19-year-old boyfriend requested a paternity test. The relationship was already in trouble when the news came out and apparently, Casey told the family that he didn’t want to be with Jamie Lynn until he was sure he was the baby daddy. Not a lot of trust there apparently. So did he, or anyone he consulted consider that asking for a paternity test isn’t the first step toward restoring a trusting relationship?
Gillian Anderson and Julian Ozanne: The X Files star’s estranged husband Julian Ozanne asked for (but didn’t get, apparently) a paternity test in 2006 after she announced she was having a baby with her boyfriend Mark Griffiths, just three months after their breakup. Anderson gave birth to her second son with Griffiths last year so apparently he’s the real dad! Did Julian want to be a daddy or did he want proof of infidelity?
