The World's Premier Home Paternity Testing Service

In Rural India, the wife of a 90-year-old man has given birth to a son. The fourth wife of Nanu Ram Jogi had given birth to eight daughters, but Jogi wanted to keep trying for a son. With the latest addition of his newborn son, Jogi claims to have fathered 21 children.

Because of his age, Jogi has become a local hero of sorts. Until his son’s birth, the oldest man to father a child in the region was 88 years old. To confirm Jogi’s story, health workers will administer a paternity test for Jogi, his wife, and their son.

In light of our most recent blog, this article is just another example of how DNA is not affected by age and can be tested at any point during life. Paternity testing can occur at any age, even prenatally or posthumously.

Earlier this month, a much contested paternity question in the UK was answered.

79-year-old Diana Northcott announced that one of her two sons, David, was not the biological child of her husband. If her claim were proven true, David would be cut out of his paternal grandfather’s inheritance of more than $600,000. Diana sought a paternity test for David and his godfather, respected doctor and former head of the British Medical Association (BMA) John Havard. Diana claimed that she approached Havard 40 years ago, telling him that she was in a terrible marriage, that her husband was infertile, and that she wanted a sibling her for only child, Adrian. Havard publicly dismissed her claim that he fathered David, repeating on numerous occasions that Diana was a “fantasist.”

After months of protest, the 83-year-old Havard consented to a paternity test only after he conferred with David. Paternity DNA tests proved that Havard is David’s biological father. 40 years of lies were over.

Because DNA does not change over time, a simple paternity test was able to accurately and quickly identify Havard as David’s father more than 40 years after he met Diana. DNA testing is not confined to a single age group or time period: DNA testing can be performed on anyone of any age, even before birth.

Surprising celebrity paternity results filled the news this week. One celebrity discovered that he was not the father, another added 2 more children to his family, and a third confirmed paternity of at least 40 children claiming him.

Chris Rock
In a statement issued on August 6, Chris Rock announced that DNA test results showed that he was excluded as the father of his ex-girlfriend’s son. Kali Bowyer approached Rock early this year to request a paternity test for her 13-year-old son, seeking child support and medical coverage for her son. Because Rock is not her son’s father, he is now requesting that any money that Bowyer received for her story be donated to charity.

James Brown
Also on August 6, attorneys handling the estate of the late James Brown announced that DNA tests have confirmed Brown’s paternity of at least 2 more children. Twelve people have come forward since Brown’s death claiming that they were fathered by him, and DNA tests were ordered to confirm their claims. Currently, an undisclosed number of the results have excluded Brown as the father, while a few other DNA tests are still pending.

MKO Abiola
AllAfrica.com reported this week that 113 children have claimed the late Chief MKO Abiola as their father. DNA testing for some of these children has started, and results show that at least 25 children are not biologically related to Abiola, while 40 others were proven to be his children. In addition, 6 other children were claimed in his will. DNA tests are pending for at least 21 more children.
