'Bachelor' Star Clayton Echard's Ex 'No Longer Pregnant' After Ugly Paternity Test Court Battle

Echard’s ex-fling initially claimed that she was scheduled to give birth to her twins on February 14, 2024. It was unclear what happened regarding her pregnancy.

"Petitioner acknowledges that she is no longer pregnant with Respondent's child, meaning there is no paternity to establish,” the Bachelor star’s ex-fling wrote in the December 28 motion to dismiss.

"There is nothing left for this Court to adjudicate, and this case should be dismissed,” she added.

Echard has since released a statement in which the Bachelor star said that his ex-fling’s motion to dismiss the paternity matter was “not a surprise” because “she was never pregnant with [his] children.”

"This filing by her was not a surprise to me, as not only is she 'no longer pregnant,' but she was never pregnant at any point in time with my children,” Echard said.

"My hope is that the judicial system will bring her to justice here soon through exposing the many false accusations that she has made,” he added.

The woman’s motion to dismiss the paternity matter on December 28 came shortly after Echard, 30, requested an evidentiary hearing on December 13.

The Bachelor star wanted proof that his ex-fling was pregnant before potentially agreeing to a paternity test.

"Petitioner has never provided Respondent with any substantive proof of her alleged pregnancy and all paternity tests have indicated there is 'little to no fetal DNA,’” Echard argued last month.

The reality star also provided an affidavit in which he argued that his ex could not be pregnant with his children because the pair only had “oral sex” during one sexual encounter in May 2023.

"[Petitioner] and I had one sexual encounter on May 20, 2023 where she performed oral sex on me," he explained in the affidavit. "We never had sexual intercourse or engaged in conduct that could lead to conception."

The Bachelor star then accused his ex of rushing to court after she learned that Echard "did not want to have any relationship with her, romantic or otherwise, after she performed oral sex on him on May 20, 2023."

Echard's ex-fling has since issued a statement in which she accused the Bachelor star of breaching the court's recent Order of Protection.

"I firmly stand by everything I told The Sun previously," she told RadarOnline.com on Thursday. "It's baffling why Clayton Echard would buy a pregnancy test for me to take in front of him if he had any doubts that his actions could have led to my pregnancy by him. The test, which was positive, confirmed my pregnancy, and it was corroborated by a test at a medical facility."

"In his recent statement to The Sun, Clayton has clearly violated the Order of Protection," she continued. "This order explicitly states, 'Defendant shall have no contact with Plaintiff... and shall not communicate or post untrue or harassing comments regarding Plaintiff online, including but not limited to on social media, and shall not cause others to communicate or post untrue or harassing comments regarding Plaintiff online or otherwise.'"

"By publicly challenging the truth of my pregnancy and making calls for legal action against me, Clayton is not just breaching this order, but he is actively engaging in the type of conduct it expressly prohibits," she added.

"The disregard Clayton shows for the Order of Protection, which is designed to prevent false narratives and protect against character defamation, is a serious issue," Echard's ex concluded her statement. "I am confident that the legal system will see the stark contradictions in his actions and words, and uphold the court's directives."
