In a peculiar incident, Chris unintentionally led many to believe that he and Brittany had become parents.

On August 23, he uploaded a photo of himself holding a baby with the caption, "Words cannot express how happy this pappy is."

The internet quickly reacted, with people exclaiming, "Wait, is this YOUR BABY!!!?? CONGRATULATIONS!!"

Many began assuming that Chris had welcomed a new member into the family.

However, Chris clarified that while he did indeed welcome a new family member, he was not the father, stating, "This is my son’s daughter."
