‘Unexpected’ stars Bella and Falen Vaughn hit The Interwebs on Thursday to announce the results of a paternity test recently taken by Bella, her former fiancé Hunter Johnson and her one-year-old son Wes. The mother/daughter duo gleefully revealed the results of the test. (As The Ashley has previously reported, Hunter’s dad Casey sued Bella’s mom Falen for custody of Wes in April and asked that Wes’ paternity be confirmed via a court-ordered test. At the end of May, a judge sealed the court case from public view.)
The Truth is Out: ‘Unexpected’ Star Bella Vaughn Reveals Paternity Test Results for Son Wes
The relentless rumor mill has finally been shut down. Unexpected stars Bella and Falen Vaughn took to the internet on Thursday to deliver a highly anticipated update that many fans—and critics—have been waiting for. With a mixture of relief and defiance, the mother-daughter duo officially announced the results of a DNA paternity test taken by Bella, her former fiancé Hunter Johnson, and her one-year-old son, Wes.
For months, speculation has run rampant online, but Bella and Falen were more than ready to set the record straight once and for all. Gleefully addressing the camera, they shared the news that puts an end to all the hurtful whispers.
“This is about to shut a lot of your mouths!” Bella declared in the video. “It has been agreed—even though the whole situation has been sealed from the public—we are allowed to announce the DNA results. So, they did come back a couple weeks ago and… they came back saying Wes is 99.999% percent Hunter’s child. Yay!”
With an extra splash of attitude aimed at the internet trolls who doubted her, the 16-year-old added, “So IN THE FACE to anyone who said I got pregnant by a DIFFERENT 12-year-old!”
Inside the Legal Battle and the Sealed Case
This dramatic DNA reveal is the climax of an ongoing legal battle. As previously reported, the paternity test wasn’t just a casual decision; it was requested after Hunter’s father, Casey, sued Bella’s mother, Falen, for custody of baby Wes back in April, asking for a court-ordered test to confirm Wes’ paternity. While a judge sealed the broader court case from public view at the end of May, a court document filed on May 26 revealed that the Paternity Order itself was not subject to the sealing. This legal loophole gave Bella and Falen the green light to share the truth with the world.
During the video, Falen did not hold back her frustration regarding the online harassment her daughter has faced. “We’re not letting our 15 minutes of fame go without a fight!” Falen proclaimed. “So, all the lovely messages that my daughter keeps getting saying that the reason she and Hunter broke up is because Wes is not Hunter’s, well, once again, that’s a lie. Yeah, so, 99.9 percent, Wes is Hunter’s.”
As her mother defended her, Bella could be seen playfully mugging for the camera, throwing back to the classic 2006 MySpace “ducklips.” Still, the underlying message remained incredibly serious for the young mom.
“Like I said the whole time, Hunter always knew it was his,” Bella insisted. “There was not a chance that it could have been not his. So, anyways, we just got the news that we could share that with you guys. The messages I have been sent are awful, and I would never want those to be sent to anyone else. I told y’all it was him who knocked me up!”
The Breakup and What Lies Ahead for the Young Parents
The confirmation of Wes’ paternity comes at a complicated time for the teenagers. Bella and 14-year-old Hunter are no longer together, having ended their relationship just weeks after Bella happily announced that Hunter had proposed to her. Despite the timing, Bella has repeatedly emphasized that the paternity test had absolutely nothing to do with their sudden split.
In a previous video, Bella opened up about the emotional toll of the breakup, which she claims she initiated. “Yes, we did break up,” she stated honestly. “I won’t go into detail why but he lied to me and hurt my feelings… Two days later after the breakup he was talking to someone new… There was no drama, no tea behind it. The breakup was not because Wesley’s not his.”
While Hunter has kept quiet publicly regarding the DNA results, the court has been busy sorting out the future for baby Wes. Earlier this week, a custody order was established to outline how the young parents will divide their responsibilities, including a set visitation schedule. However, because the custody and visitation documents have been officially sealed by the court, the specific terms remain private.
Navigating this next chapter will require some distance between the families; Falen is currently legally prohibited from having contact with Hunter. Nevertheless, she assured fans that the teenage parents are dedicated to keeping their focus where it belongs: on their son. “They are going to coparent and do what’s best for Wesley,” Falen concluded.
