Follow That Single!
Celebrity Dating Trends - Paternity Test

For these celebrities first comes love then comes the paternity test.  The baby news may have been delivered after the break-up, but the true test will come from their public and private displays of responsibility.  At any age parenting can be a lot of work.  Don’t further complicate the experience by co-parenting in conflict.

Chris Rock
AVOID
Who:  Kali Bowyer & Chris Rock
What: Proof is in the Paternity 
Yes, I realize that only one of the individuals in this story was actually single, but I do have a point.  Ms. Bowyer claimed that the comedian was the father of her 13-year-old-son and sold the story to the tabloids.  However, testing proved that Mr. Rock was not the father.  Chris requested that any money she made from her lie should be donated to a charity for disadvantaged children.
Why:   Ladies, when dealing with paternity, be honest.  If you don’t know for sure, refrain from telling tales until the evidence is in.  Remember, there is DNA Testing.  Try to consider the other people involved, most importantly the child.



Mel B and Eddie Murphy
EMBRACE
Who: Eddie Murphy & Mel B
What: Signed, Sealed, Delivery
It’s been a few years since this news story made us do a he said/she said tail-spin.  Few knew that these two were even dating.  Regardless, the brief affair produced a very heated war of words and a beautiful little girl.
Why:   As shocking as it may be to hear “you’re going to be a father” from someone you are no longer with (and may even hate), handle the news with grace and dignity.  Even if you aren’t with the mother, provide financial and emotional support for the child’s sake.




Ryan Phillippe & Alexis Knapp
EXPLORE
Who:  Ryan Phillippe & Alexis Knapp
What: To Be or Not To Be the Father
Ryan has always kept a very low profile publicly.  While he is waiting for confirmation of paternity of the unborn child of former girlfriend Alexis, the situation has not shaken nor stirred his views on discretion.
Why:   When dealing with life’s unexpected moments, remember to maintain some decorum.
