Man Learns Daughter Isn’t His After DNA Test But His Wife Never Cheated On Him

A woman shared on Reddit that her husband took a paternity test, revealing he wasn’t the father of their daughter. She insisted she hadn’t cheated, but the results suggested otherwise. After further testing, the couple discovered the shocking truth: neither of them were their daughter’s biological parents.

The woman, 29, and her husband, 31, had been together since college and shared a 5-year-old daughter. After receiving the paternity test results, her husband’s behavior changed, becoming distant and spending more time at work.

Determined to prove her innocence, the woman convinced her husband to take additional tests. The results showed that their daughter wasn’t biologically related to either of them. They sued the hospital where she gave birth and a police investigation ensued.

Eventually, they found their biological daughter in foster care after another family had mistakenly taken her home from the hospital. The couple adopted her and sued the hospital, receiving a $2 million settlement. They explained the situation to their daughter and planned to move to a new town for a fresh start with their two girls.
