In response to the speculation, Celina 52 Truck Stop edited their post, adding: “Yes, Paul is the father. Rachel has African American DNA in her which can skip generations and cause a child to be born with darker skin.”

They also mentioned the possibility of Cash having jaundice, a common condition in newborns, and concluded the post with: “Please be kind.”

Despite the truck stop’s explanation, doubts and jokes continued to circulate online.

One person wrote: “Congratulations!!! I AM sure he looks just like his dad. Where is he?”

Another added: “Definitely needs a DNA test; what if they accidentally mixed up the kiddos in the nursery?”
