Who's My Baby's Father, My Husband Or Boyfriend? | KARAMO

In this KARAMO episode, host SPEAKER A mediates a heated dispute between Tiffany, a mother whose newborn’s birth certificate bears her soon‑to‑be ex‑husband’s surname, and Brandon, her boyfriend who doubts he is the child’s biological father. Tiffany explains that a hospital clerk delayed adding Brandon’s name to the birth certificate because she was still legally married, leading Brandon to suspect infidelity. The conversation reveals a tangled history: Tiffany’s ex‑husband was recently released from jail, a past coworker was allegedly involved, and mistrust has persisted for about a year. Both parties recount accusations—Brandon of a possible affair and Tiffany of Brandon’s controlling behavior. The host outlines a timeline (ex‑husband release Dec 2022, pregnancy May 2023, birth Oct 2023) and announces a DNA test to settle paternity. The DNA results confirm Brandon is the biological father, prompting discussions about name changes, rebuilding trust, and moving forward. The episode ends with both agreeing to let the past lie behind them and focus on co‑parenting.
Chapters
So your daughter has another man's last name?
Yes, my soon-to-be ex-husband.
Okay, so what happened? Why? Explain that to me. What happened there?
Okay, so pretty much we went to the hospital to have my baby. Woo-hoo, everybody happy. So the next day, Brandon had to go to work or whatever.
Okay.
So as he was at work, the birth certificate lady came around or whatever and she asked me like, why wasn't he there? He has to be there. He has to have his ID. So I pretty much let him know that, and he was okay with that or whatever about the ID and stuff like that. So she was finna get ready to go home, but she said she'll hold off on putting the names on the birth certificate.
Got it.
Just to let him know to come back up there Monday.
Got it.
To put his name on the birth certificate.
Okay.
So she took my ID and she was like, she finna go put my stuff in, she'll hold off to do his, whatever. So she came back around and she was like, girl, she was like, so your ID is different from what it says on your birth certificate. She asked me, was I married? And I was like, yeah, I'm married. She was like, well, I cannot put this man's name on the birth certificate, y'all would have to go through the courts or whatnot. And I didn't understand 'cause me and Brandon have another baby and she has Brandon's last name. And I let the lady know that, like, look, I got another baby with this man. Like, this is his baby. Like, didn't nobody ever tell me that. So she was like, well, don't tell nobody that 'cause what they can do, they can go back and make you change her last name as well. So Brandon called me on his break again and I'm letting him know this. He was like, oh bitch, you got me fucked up. That ain't my baby. How this? It is what it is.
So this makes sense why Brandon has the doubts then?
Yeah, I mean, yeah, it makes sense.
So how often do you and Brandon argue about the situation?
Like all the time.
And what's that doing to you?
It's really hurting me 'cause I really feel bad about his name not being able to be on the birth certificate. I know it's kind of my fault 'cause I'm still married. He wants me to get a divorce. It's not that easy to get a divorce. I can't just snap my hands and get a divorce, you know what I'm saying? I'm going to get a divorce. I'm trying to get the money up to get one.
So does Brandon treat your daughter differently?
I mean, he's a great dad to my other child or whatnot, but he'll be like, "Dad, dad." He'll say, "Dad, dad," to my other baby. Then he'll look over to my, Chloe, the baby we alleged is not his. He'd be like, "I don't know who your daddy is. You ain't got my last name." You know, stuff like that. Like trying to be funny with it, you know what I'm saying? Even though she's 3 months and she don't know what he's talking about, but quit playing with my baby. You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
At the end of the day, like, this your child.
In your opinion, do you, Does Khloe and Brandon look alike?
Yeah, she look just like him, like exactly. Oh, he being funny on them pictures too. You know, it don't even look like he's just being cuddly. He holding up like, "This my baby." He said that in that picture too. He took his glasses off trying to— 'cause he wear glasses. He look blind in that picture. He really took his glasses off just to see do the baby look like him in the picture. You know what I'm saying? Like, quit playing, man.
So I gotta be honest with you though, and we gotta be real, and I ask this for everyone. Is there a possibility anyone else could be the father?
Uh-uh, it ain't no possibility like that.
Why you smiling, girl? Don't do that to me. No, no, no. Don't do that to me, girl, 'cause I'm listening to you.
He be accusing me of stuff, but you know what I'm saying? The stuff don't be true. And the thing is, my husband, allegedly, I mean, my finna be divorced husband, he was in jail.
Okay, got it.
And when I conceived her right around the time that he got outta jail.
Got it.
So, and we didn't find out I was pregnant with Khloe till I was 5 months. I had just had a baby.
Were you saying having relationships with your soon-to-be ex-husband at the time?
No, no, I'm telling, I ain't even see him none when he was outta jail. Got it, got it, got it. But Brandon is saying that since his name not on the birth certificate and Corey got my husband's last name, then I was seeing him like when he got outta jail, like, you know what I'm saying?
I knew I was pregnant. Are there any other reasons that he could have doubts?
No, not just, no. I mean, he be saying I be messing with my coworkers, but that ain't no reason. Like, I mean, that ain't got nothing to do with me. I don't mess with my coworker. We all a big family at my job. I don't even work there no more, but when I worked there, we all a big family. Like, my supervisor, he buys us something to eat and stuff like that. He say I'm messing with him. Brandon's just insecure 'cause I'm still married, pretty much. You know what I'm saying? Once I get a divorce and, you know, maybe he can start trusting me. But this is the biggest issue of everything.
[Speaker] Got it. How long has the trust been broken?
Since the coworkers. And then after this name thing, it's like, really?
How long y'all been together now, you and Brandon?
About 2 and a half years. It'll be 3 years this year.
Brandon, almost 3 years. And how long ago did the coworker stuff happen?
I wanna say about a year ago.
A year ago. And then the baby comes right then, right there. So it's about a year of mistrust. That's a year of mistrust. Got it. Well everyone, I think it's time to meet Brandon. So everyone please welcome Brandon to the show.
Brandon, thank you for being here, man.
Appreciate it, man.
Thank you for being here.
So what are your thoughts on what you just heard?
Some lies and deception and betrayal and some between.
Oh, you think so?
Some truth, a little ordeal, I guess.
Okay, so what do you think she lied about and where do you think the betrayal is?
First off, with the baby, as far as, The father name's like got her husband's last name, man. So that didn't sit with my spirit, whatever.
Yeah.
Or whatnot.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Skeptical and it don't sit right with intuition.
Listen, I said it too. I can understand her position of being in the hospital and feeling, but I can also understand your position of like, my first child, our first child has my last name and then this one all of a sudden now I'm not there and he gets— Yeah, I could understand your suspicion. My producer told me that Tiffany confessed something to you last night.
Last night?
Yeah, what did she confess to you?
Oh nah, she was just telling me one day we were just sitting down.
Oh, one night, excuse me.
Yeah, one night we was just sitting down. Her friend was in the back room in the living room. I had just got off of work, so we was in the back. So I was telling her like, "What's up with your friend over there? Where she got all her bags? She put back in my car today." Oh yeah, all right. And whatnot. So I'm like, "All right, cool." So she was like, "Oh, I told you she gonna come over here and spend the night for a couple days till she get her stuff." This is my house.
I can have anybody who I want over to my house.
Okay, so what happened?
He felt some type of way about that. He comes in, He comes, gets off work, come in, like come to the room being all loud. 'Cause my co— it was my co— one of my coworkers, she was finna get ready to move. So she wanted to bring her bags over to my house and I take her to work with me that night 'cause we work together. And he felt some type of way about having her over there. So he came in after work and just come into the bedroom, talking about, "Why she here?" Like embarrassing me.
Like, "You're not my dad." But what was confessed about that? I don't get what the issue is.
That's— here we go. Go ahead and finish what you was saying.
'Cause I had told him that he made me so mad that day At that moment I was like, yeah, I am sleeping with people at my job. But I was mad when I said it.
But look, listen, listen, listen. You wanna hear my side of the story? You finished? You gotta hit your head.
I wanna hear your side, yeah.
My side of the thing, so we was like, she was like, this my friend, she can come over here. You don't pay no bills around here, this my shit. Then we got into it. She was heated, little debate, little confrontation. She started spitting at me. She like, yeah, that's why I slept with your friend in the bathroom. Then what, like what's up?
It turned out I wasn't. Why you laughing about that?
I'm saying, 'cause do that sound like something I would do? Even though I said it, but do it sound like?
Well, if you said it, of course.
That's what it gonna sound like you doing. He was saying all kind of stuff too. Like he was pretty much telling me I can't have my friend in my house. He be doing stuff to make me mad, for real.
Yeah.
He do stuff to, he poke me to do stuff.
What you talking about? A real person always gonna tell you the God's honest truth when they mad. So you ever heard that said?
You wanted to hurt him as much as you were hurt.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
'Cause I felt like she worked with me. If I would've said that, he'd really believe that 'cause she worked with me and she was even like, what, this girl crazy. You know what I'm saying?
Like the low blow.
But you be doing stuff though.
I really, it didn't sit with me to this day, man.
Got it. It makes sense. I understand why it don't sit with you. I get it.
Nightmares and dreams back then. Yeah.
Well listen, my producer said they have a timeline they wanna show me of these events and how closely they're related with this DNA result. So December 2022, the former coworkers confronted, then we're talking about January 2023, this is your ex-husband or soon to be ex-husband They got outta jail. Then May 2023, you're positively pregnant. You got the pregnancy test that it was positive. And then October, your child was born. So I get it why you're assuming, 'cause I can see your point now. Like there's a lot of things. You're confessing to maybe having an affair with a coworker and now all of a sudden the ex comes out or there's soon to be ex.
But look, let me tell you something. So the whole thing about in between time when we was in relationship, he was locked up. So we already had confrontation the first time. I find out I was just a sneaky link and she kept our relationship on hold.
But you knew I was married though, though.
She was like, anytime I used to be around with you.
Oh, you knew she was married?
Yeah, his wife.
So then you accepted the role of sneaky link.
Exactly. He knew he was a sneaky link.
You supposed to be with me wholeheartedly and we already had established a context of some type of bond, but now you not telling your soon-to-be ex-husband what's really going on. You still playing a triangle love design. It's like you playing. You playing both sides of the field, the whole thing about it.
Tiffany, I'm gonna ask you point blank, what do you want the outcome to be of this DNA test?
This is his child. My child was born with like 6 fingers that she had to get cut off, and his mom said he had 6 fingers.
I had one finger, she got 6 fingers on both sides.
Oh, okay, they don't got nothing to do with it. He come out 'cause she had 'em on both and he only had 'em on one.
Got it.
But she had 'em, so.
Well, listen, I think it's time to unlock this DNA mystery and get to the truth of this. This has been a big point of contention attention for you when it comes to trusting your woman and also, and not saying that you're not there for your daughter because she said you are, but you have little jokes and doubts in your head. So this is a big moment for you if she is your daughter. How do you feel about this moment?
I feel like, man, if I'm not the father, there's only so much I gotta do. I can't be there the whole holiday, but I still don't want the kid to go astray. I'll do what I can. But as far as long-term commitment relationship, it's over, it's done. It'd be a break and it's existing. It just be revelation. I just catch you on the rebound. Every now I'll be there for my first one, but the second one, there's only so much I could do.
Got it.
And I'm a man, I can't betray, I can't go for that, so.
Yeah, the betrayal would be too much for you.
On to the next, wish you the best of love.
Got it, okay.
You know what I'm saying?
Well listen, it's time for you to get the truth. I get it, this is your truth to open.
Khloe is your biological daughter.
What you mean? How you mean?
I'ma be loved.
Thank you, I'll take that.
You know what I'm talking about.
How does it feel knowing for sure now?
Hey, I mean, I guess, hey, numbers don't lie. I mean, I guess it's true, man. I mean, yeah, I'm here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You ain't going nowhere.
I gotta get her name changed for real, for real. Yeah. 'Cause you know, he deserved it. You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a lot of things that need to happen right now to rebuild the trust. I believe that when y'all and I hear, y'all are two very energetic and have great personalities, but I also can tell there's probably like a darker side when y'all get mad, y'all get turnt up. And I do believe that is something y'all have to work on because the trust is playing into it. And unfortunately for you, when you get triggered, you know what's gonna hurt him.
Yeah, yeah.
But every time you do it, it's breaking his trust even more.
I know, but when he be hurting me, I be wanting to hurt him. But like you said, that's true though.
Yeah. One of y'all have to make the choice to say, I'm not gonna re-trigger you because all it's gonna do is end up bleeding into these beautiful kids y'all have. It's gonna end up hurting y'all even more.
The truth is right here. So at the end of the day, I gotta be a man about it and do my part and do my behalf and break the ice and just like with the past is the past, we move forward and just gotta keep a positive attitude and everything we move forward with past.
And stop bringing this up.
Yeah, this is over and forgot. It's swept under the rug.
Even with the coworkers too?
Exactly. All that's forgotten.
Yeah, 'cause he still talking about that and I'm not even there no more.
Like, talk about these coworkers. I'm not even at that job no more. He's making the commitment because now what happens, he's making a public commitment that he's saying I'm not gonna bring it up. So if he bring it up, Just say, turn on the episode, right? Don't even— don't even engage. Say, turn on the episode, watch yourself.
We got a clean slate. It's like we're born.
And I'm gonna stop saying stuff that I didn't do just to stay into the mad, because it is some lowdown stuff.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
For real.
