All right, so Katie came to my show to prove Mason was the father of her 3 children. Take a look at what happened. Imagine having twins and your partner thinks one is his and believes the other twin has a different father. That is exactly what Katie says is happening with her ex-boyfriend Mason. She is here today to prove the DNA truth for all 3 of her children.
They were measuring 3 days apart because my egg dropped, got fertilized, another egg dropped, got fertilized. He said, "So who'd you sleep with?" 3 days apart, it's gotta be a different dad or else that wouldn't happen. I make it halfway through the pregnancy, found out he cheated on me with another girl, got her pregnant, and then she also has another kid with him. He's got 5 kids now.
'Cause he's the same age as you and he has 5 kids?
Yeah.
Okay, okay. 22 and 5 kids, all right.
Yeah.
My producer told me that the first time that he saw the twins was at the DNA lab.
Yes, yes.
What happened?
My daughter immediately looked at him and said, I said, "Hi, Daddy." And while I was getting swabbed and stuff like that, I was like, "Hey, can you help me?" And he goes, "Yeah, once I know that they're my kids." Let's meet your ex-boyfriend.
Please welcome Mixon to the show. I just wanna confirm, how old are you?
I am 22 years old.
And how many potential kids do you have? 5.
But you've got 5 possible kids and yet you're sitting here talking about making a 6th one with me. Shop's closed.
So you asked her to have another kid?
Yeah.
So let me ask you, why would you ask her to have another kid if you don't believe that the 3 she already has is yours? I— And also, why you want another kid? You 22. So when did you ask her to have a 6th?
About a week ago.
Did y'all hook up last night?
No.
Did you try to hook up with her last night?
Oh yeah.
Do you have a job?
Not currently, no.
Why not have a job?
It's very hard in my area.
It's not hard, especially if you have potentially 5 kids. Any job, at any income is going to be what you need. You're doing this all by yourself?
Yep. If I do anything, I've gotta take them all with me. I don't ever get a break. I'm sick and tired of it.
If these kids are yours and you've missed these years of their lives, are you gonna try to be there in their lives now?
Oh, definitely.
Okay. Well listen, I think it's time for the DNA truth. Let's get to the truth. We have 3 envelopes. For 3 different children. So let's start with the first one.
Mason Skylar is your biological daughter. Mason River is your biological son.
There you go.
Mason Summer is your biological daughter.
It's time to start really looking at life. If you want to have sex with a woman, you need to be responsible enough to wrap it up. Your whole issue right now is that you don't know how to be responsible. And you're in this ping pong game of how do I become responsible and how do I not? If you try, if you just show up, if you just try to get to work every day, if you try to show her respect, you're going to wake up one day and you're gonna have kids around you who adore you, who look up to you, and who respect you as the man you should be respected as. And I believe you can do that. Are you willing to make that choice?
Yes.
The commitment is here. Y'all gotta co-parent and your kids deserve that. All right, at just 22 years old, these results show Mason was now the father of 5 children. I told Mason he needs to grow up, step up, and start wrapping it up. Let's see if Mason took my advice.
Hi Karamo, since the show, me and Mason have been co-parenting. He met the kids and he's been a pretty good dad to all of the kids.
Watching the show for me was kind of like a wake-up call. It kind of just showed me like, oh my God, what am I doing with my life? I need to step up. I'm being a horrible dad and I'm being an even worse of a person. I was like, I need to get my stuff together. So that's exactly what I did once I came back home.
We were able to use the DNA results from the show for paternity court. He now sees them about once a month, probably. And has been somewhat active.
I've been involved. They, they love me. I can tell they love me. They're always calling for me every 5 seconds. I ended up finding a job. I work as a residential advisor at a trade school.
He does send me like, you know, $20, $40 when he gets paid. So it's something.
So I've been focusing on work and my kids.
I'm very proud and impressed of the steps that Mason's now taking to be a part of the kids' lives. Just so you know, we are not together. We are just co-parenting.
Going forward, you know, if I continue to keep my, you know, my stuff all aligned, you know, maybe down the road, you know, we could be a family again. Who knows?
I know that Mason is hoping that we can have a relationship in the future, but as of right now, we need to just focus on co-parenting. We're happy with where we're at.
I'm not really focused on dating at this moment 'cause I got a lot of things I'm focused on. Like my job, my kids, everything. I haven't really thought about dating, hasn't really been on my mind.
Karamo, I'm gonna be honest with you, after the show, uh, Mason was a little bit ticked off because everyone had seen it, and so he was having trouble getting a girlfriend or finding someone that hadn't seen the fact that he now has for sure 3 kids, 5 kids. I've told him before though that his priority needs to be on the fact that he has 5 kids and not what female he's going to date.
Yeah, I just want to say thank you, Karamo, for opening my eyes and helping me mature a little bit. That was awesome. I needed that. I needed some real good fatherly advice, as I would say.
Thank you, Karamo, because since the show, at least now we have our answers that we needed. And he's involved and trying. He might not be the perfect parent, but he's at least taking the steps that he needs to take to get there one day.
Well, that makes me so happy. I'm so happy to hear that he's taking a step. One of the things y'all don't know about that show is I was like, you got a job? And he said he ain't got no job. So I'm happy to hear that he got a job, 'cause you got 5 kids, you got a job, you start to get lost again, I am here for you. You know where I'm at, all right? I got you. But I am happy for your progress, because again, this is what I tell people all the time, this is a journey, this is a journey. And sometimes we want people to be exactly where we need them to be at that moment, but sometimes it takes them a little bit slower to get there. And as long as he's walking and making steps every day, Hopefully soon, Mason, you'll be able to provide more money. Just remember those kids, their future is important. The things you didn't get, those kids deserve, and you have the ability to give it to 'em. So good luck to the both of y'all.
