Internet, listen up: Don't call Dr. Phil "daddy."
Dr. Phil McGraw asked his followers to stop referring to him by that name in a video posted to TikTok on Wednesday, Sept. 9.
"You have to stop commenting 'daddy' on all of my posts," the 70-year-old TV host said while @hannah_harpist music played. "I aint your daddy. I hate to break it to you, but I aint your daddy. And your real daddy is probably getting his feelings hurt."
While Dr. Phil said he appreciated "the support," he also noted "it's a little weird."
The celebrity is already a proud papa to two sons: Jay McGraw and Jordan McGraw. Dr. Phil and his wife Robin McGraw are also grandparents to Jay and Erica McGraw's kids Avery and London McGraw. In fact, he'll soon have another grandchild. Jordan and E!'s very own Morgan Stewart are expecting their first child, a baby girl. The Daily Pop and Nightly Pop co-host announced the pregnancy on Instagram last month. Of course, Dr. Phil was thrilled about the news.
"It's official!!! We're having another grand baby!!!" he wrote on Instagram at the time. "It's a precious girl!!! We love you Jordan and Morgan."
The announcement came about a month after Morgan and Jordan announced they're engaged. The mother-to-be shared details of the proposal during a recent episode of Daily Pop. Morgan said the two were staying at a hotel while they were in the process of moving and decided to sit outside.
"We kind of got into, not a mini-fight, but…" she continued before Jordan noted the "fight" was planned. "You gaslighted me a little bit, talking about how I'm going to be a long-term girlfriend. Obviously [I] did not respond well to that and got a little bit upset."
That's when Jordan went back inside the hotel.
"Then he came back, he said, 'Let's change that. Will you stop being my girlfriend?' and got on one knee," Morgan continued. "And then he opened the box, and I was like, '100 percent I'm saying yes, regardless if I like you.'"
She then noted that she was "so surprised" and shed a few happy tears.

Morgan and Jordan confirmed their relationship earlier this year; however, the two actually go way back.
"You wanna know a very fun fact, you guys?" she said during an Instagram Live. "We dated 10 years ago for a year and then he broke up with me ... And I was like, 'Fine, whatever. I don't care.' And then I went on obviously to have another relationship and then the past year we got back together."
The rest, as they say, is history.
