Bachelor Clayton Echard Shares Negative Paternity Test Proving He’s Not the Father of Ex-Twins: ‘Five Months of Ordeal Put to Rest’

Bachelor Nation’s Clayton Echard took to social media on Friday to share the news that he is not the father of an anonymous woman’s twins.

The 30-year-old former reality TV star — who has consistently denied paternity — took to Instagram with a video announcing the update.

Dressed in a gray T-shirt and smiling from ear to ear, the media personality told his 268,000 followers: “Listen, it’s Friday and you know what we need on Friday? We need good news, and who has good news today? I have good news.’

In his caption, he elaborated: ‘If you know what I’m talking about, here’s the answer you’ve been wondering about.’

Addressing the others, he added: ‘And if you don’t know what I’m talking about, just keep scrolling and know that the vibes here are flawless.’

In a clip posted to Instagram, the Missouri-born boy stated: “The test results came back early and said little to no fetal DNA present.

‘Let’s go baby! We knew — I knew it was going to happen and thankfully the five months of torture can finally end.’

He also mentioned cheating rumors that surfaced in 2022 while he was still in a relationship with his ex Susie Evans.

“Two false accusations in two years.” “I really don’t want to look at next year to see what will happen,” he said.

“I think two false accusations in life are enough.” So thank you all for your support, love. It’s been a tough time but I’ve learned so much about myself and now it’s back to a regular schedule.’

Back in August, Clayton’s ex-girlfriend — who has remained anonymous — demanded a paternity test after she allegedly got pregnant after a ‘one-night stand’.

An unidentified woman from Scottsdale, Arizona has filed a lawsuit seeking to undergo DNA sequencing to confirm whether he is the father of her unborn babies.

The children are expected to be born in February 2024 and she hoped to set up a parenting plan with Clayton if the paternity test comes back positive.

Late last month, Echard agreed to a paternity test, after her ex-husband claimed in his lawsuit that he had previously refused to take one.

Clayton, who appeared on season 18 of The Bachelorette and was the star of season 26 of The Bachelor, took to Instagram in September to share a PayPal receipt for $725 to Ravgen Diagnostics in Columbia, Maryland, where he scheduled the test.

He also shared a lightly redacted email, where he said: “I will take my portion of the test on September 27th,” adding that the woman would submit her sample on October 2nd.

“Then it will take about a week for the results to come back.” I believe we are all on the same page now,” he concluded in an email.
