Conor Maynard's new private life has been revealed after taking a second paternity test that left Charlotte Chilton in shock.
The music artist has been involved in a battle with The Traitors star, as she claimed - following the birth of her child in October 2024 - that Maynard was the father.
They met at the wrap party for the popular BBC reality show last year, after being introduced by winner Harry Clark, who is dating Maynard's younger sister, Anna.
Chilton would find out she was pregnant following their night together, consistently insisting that Maynard is the father of her child.

She chose not to reveal his name at first, but then said she didn't want it to become a 'dirty secret', with the 'R U Crazy' singer being named.
He stayed silent before taking a first paternity test in March this year.
Taking to Instagram at the time, he stated: "I took a paternity test regarding Charlotte Chilton’s baby girl, Penelope, in the presence of her legal representative.
"Today I’ve received the test results which confirm I am not Penelope’s father."

Chilton would request that he take it again after it was suggested that an 'unidentified male' was present when his sample was taken.
But as reported yesterday, Maynard took a second paternity test, which also came back negative, as a source told The Sun that Chilton was 'shell-shocked by the news'.
The pair were reportedly swabbed this week and were sent the results on Thursday night (21 August).
Maynard would also say in a statement on social media: “Today I received the results of a second paternity test, which was requested by Charlotte Chilton regarding her baby girl, Penelope,
“As with the last test, this test has confirmed again that I am not Penelope's father,” he wrote.

He assured that the results were 'conclusive' and that they could now 'move on with our lives'.
It looks like the singer is sticking to his word, having shared snaps of him and girlfriend Kitty Bertrand after buying their first home together.
He captioned the post: "On to a new chapter.. (the photo was taken on a grey, miserable day, so I edited the sky.. I wanted to use the second slide but Kitty wouldn’t let me)."
The couple can be seen beaming in front of their new home, while a large 4x4 is parked behind them.

Maynard and his girlfriend were seen together shortly after Chilton's pregnancy announcement, as he even posted a snap of his new partner after confirming he was not Penelope's father.
Back in June, the couple also shared a snap of a new member of their family, welcoming pooch Bernard, a tri-colour Bernedoodle, to their new home.
