Court Tosses Paternity Trial Against Bachelor Clayton Echard


Former 'Bachelor' star Clayton Echard went to trial against a woman who claimed he was the father of her alleged twins

Loyal fans of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette often put in the work to uncover secrets from contestants’ pasts as they search for love on the ABC reality franchise. In paperwork filed in August 2023, the woman claimed that she and Echard “engaged in sexual activity” earlier that year and requested that he take a paternity test. Echard revealed in a lengthy press release statement from Woodnick Law, PLLC, in March that he was headed to trial against Owens, who was referred to by her initials L.O., over her “faux pregnancy.” He claimed his ex created a “sham” by spreading false information to news outlets after the Bachelor Nation star refused to “enter into her ‘dating contract’” and not meeting to “discuss a parenting plan for the pretend twins.”
